I agree, Sherry, Urs is very articulate. His accent and speaking voice are just so melodic. Thank you, Arts CH, for bringing us this wonderful interview. Glad to hear that Urs is happy. Looking forward to the Tampa concert!

I agree with Urs that the crowds that yell and scream through the singing are obnoxious. I love to watch Il Divo but it’s the voices that have made them so successful. Screamers and talkers are so disrepectful to them.

Enjoyed the radio show. Urs has such a distinct way of speaking, it is wonderful listening to him. Like listening to him sing, great voice.

Thank you so much for bringing this chat with Urs to us via your radio station. What a treat to hear his voice whether he is singing or just talking. He has such a warm, gentle way of being so precise and is always such a gentleman. Love IL DIVO just so very much. Thank you once again.

Urs is such a gentleman. His whole demeanour is that of a well educated and polite man with very positive views and outlook on life. I love listening to il divo and think that the critics who disparage them shouldbe more open minded and think of the joy that they bring to so many people.

I hope that the fans read and understand what Urs is saying regarding the loud screaming and talking WHILE they are singing. He wants to have their voices enjoyed by all and then let loose after the song. It is very rude to do that to the boys and to others who have paid just as much to see and hear them.
