Simon Cowell
's "man band" creation
Il Divo
bring their perfect hair and immaculate throats into the crowded
holiday
genre with the creatively titled
Christmas Collection
, a heavily decorated box of yuletide favorites that dutifully showcases each tenor's captivating voice. There's not much difference between this offering and the myriad of similarly themed releases from contemporaries like
Celtic Tenors
,
Josh Groban
, and
Charlotte Church
, but it's a pleasant enough deviation from your parents'
Mannheim Steamroller
record. ~ James Christopher Monger
