The Resume

    (circa 2009- )
    Born in Italy
    Members are Pierro Barone (tenor), Gianluca Ginoble (baritone) and Ignazio Boschetto (tenor)
    Released albums Il Vovo (2010), We Are Love (2012) and Mas Que Amor (2013)

    Nominated for Best Pop Album (Group) and Best New Artist at the Latin Grammy Awards (2011)

Why they might be annoying:

    Their genre: Operatic pop.
    Think of the teenaged version of The Three Tenors or Little-Il Divo-Minus-A-Forth-Member.
    Before Ignazio's dramatic weight loss, they were 'two hot singers, plus a fat one' a la Wilson Phillips.
    After Ignazio's slim down, they look like three 'Joe Jonases!'
    They did a pop-opera version of One Direction's single 'Little Things.'
    Like Celtic Woman, their concerts are televised on PBS.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Fans like to nickname them 'IL YOLO.' (You Only Live Once!)
    They performed for Queen Rania of Jordan.
    They covered Sarah McLachlan's 'Angel,' Aerosmith's 'Don't Wanna Miss a Thing' and U2's 'Beautiful Day.'
    They sing in English, Spanish and Italian.
    They performed with Barbra Streisand .
    In the year of the trio's inception (2009), the average age of the singers was 16.
    In the year they released their third album, their youngest member Gianluca turned 18.
    The intention behind the trio's formation is to make opera and classical music cool to young people.
