This debut album for G4 went double platinum in the UK.Success that is much deserved.The album is a lovely blend of classical,pop and ballads.Songs include "circle of life","Life on Mars","The flower duet","to where you are" and my personal favourites "Creep","Nessun Dorma" and "Bohemian Rhapsody".

All 12 songs really are excellent though.Beautiful voices-four very talented young men.Recommend.

This is a superb album. It accomplishes the difficult pop/classical crossover with ease, and showcases the vocal and arranging talents of this new UK group of lads to great effect.
Wonderful voices with a unique style, and great music. What more could you ask for?

Listen to this album with your mind and your ears open. The 4 guy's are classically trained singers all with music degrees. They are an exceptional quartet with the talent some can only dream of. Yes they do take well known tunes and give their own unique slant on them but .............. they have such awesome voices and the combination of them all is just mind blowing. There is a very strong Top Tenor in there that hits so many WTF notes that he just cannot be ignored. The bass has the lowest voice I have ever heared and you can hear him rumbling in the background throughout. Inbetween these 2 is a spectacular Baritone and Tenor who just compliment the whole package.

Dont listen to this with the view that they are going to murder your favourit song. Listen to the beauty, clarity and power of 4 wonderful voices of 4 young men who are doing what they love doing - singing.

If you liked Il Divo then your gonna love these guys.

I have tried listening to this cd several times now but the strident sound of tenor Jonathan Ansell spoils it for me. Did the record producers not hear this as I did? Bohemian Rhapsody is an interesting choice for a group like this as was Circle of Life. However I am afraid there have been better groups before them (Amici, Il Divo & Blake)and I am sure if it wasn't for the hype and emotion associated with reality shows like X-Factor this group would have never been heard - which would have been a good thing.

I have not received the G4 CD that I ordered and paid for. I could find no user-friendly way to address this issue to Amazon. I sent my complaint to the 'Contact Us' email but have received no response. I truly would love to be able to review this item!!

I don't know why more winners of X-Factor and Pop Idol are not introduced in the US - most times they are far superior to what the US has to offer! You won't be disappointed at any of G4's cds!!!

Jeez, where to start on THIS? Oh man, you won't believe your ears. Honestly. That noise of fingernails down a blackboard? It's like listening to Bach compared to this.

First off, an introduction to who these goofs are; G4, part of that reality TV show X Factor, the show watched by millions of unintelligent low-lives around the world. G4 are, ahem ahem, "Opera" singers, but get this - they sing songs people have heard of.

It's a simple recipe; take hits from credible artists (Bowie, Queen, Radiohead) but play only their biggest songs, so even the most musically ignorant housewife in the world will have heard of them, and sing them in really, really STUPID voices.

So, Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody (it HAD to be that song, didn't it? One that the stupid masses will recognise) now sounds like quite the worst thing you'll ever hear, sung by four morons who wouldn't know "harmony" if the Beach Boys came round and kicked their heads in. It's actually AMAZING how awful these idiots sound. Download one of their songs for a laugh (for free of course, don't even THINK about paying for this rubbish) and hear for yourself.

Words fail me to describe how hysterically bad it really is. But then it's a band made famous by reality television, the scum-magnet of the world. Want the half-wits and the drones to listen to your music? Play it on reality tv - instant hit.

What's good about people who buy reality tv records is their attention and loyalty span lasts approximitely one record, hence this will be the very last time these sorry, sorry fools and their pitiful "music" will be heard. Thank Heavens for small mercies.
