Notice how far he has to hold the microphone from his mouth. His voice is that powerful 😳.
I'm a 61 year old man, a classic rocker, a blues rocker etc, and I too grew up listening to Tom Jones, and Englebert, ........ these incredible voices! Tom is just the G.O.A.T!!! And he can still bring it! What a powerhouse voice.
Same I'm 60 and my parent's listened to him n Englbert, Elvis. But mostly Tom Jones. This is something we won't experience again. So talented live to boot.
He doesn’t have quite the power he used to, but he still sounds better than 98% of modern singers and he’s what..82?
57 and If I were to admit to a man crush Tom would be it. Dude just kills it
@@leeannefeatherstone9961 True, Engelbert is amazing! My father also listened to The Platters, their original singer Tony Williams is a treasure too.
62. My uncle listened to Tom Jones. I only recently started appreciating him. He did a live outdoor concert this year in August only 3 miles from my house. I went and took my son.
He’s Welsh. Boy, can the people of Wales sing! Tom Jones is a living vocal legend. ❤🏴
I was a child of the 60’s…. I remember my mom being totally captivated by Tom. It is funny to see that he still has that same affect on a 21st century lady.
Ditto that. My mum and her sisters would take a girl trip down to London to see him, all giddy and giggling just like the hostess. Me and my brothers couldn't figure it out. Still can't.
Me too. My mom and sister drove me nuts while Dad and I "didn't get it". I can appreciate him now but could not back then,
Well, people are the same animals we we're 10k years ago.
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217 I beg to differ, we are not the same animals we were 10k years ago, we are taller, stronger, healthier, much longer lived, more knowledgeable, and still susceptible to crooners ; )
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217 Hello! Are you the animal?
Everything he sang was incredible !!! Truly a voice of a lifetime !!!!
One of the greatest pop voices of his generation! Strong and powerful !!
Tom Jones is a Welsh singer who has one of the smoothest powerful voices around. And he was a showman too, in fact he was a big heart-throb with the ladies. He has so many hits such as "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "She's a Lady" etc. He covers a lot of genres. He is still performing & is a coach on "The Voice" UK version. He also had a variety show from 69 - 71 & had some of the biggest music stars at the time.
WAS? STILL is heart throb!
"A big heart-throb" you say? Most interesting.
Tom Jones has a voice to equal no others...the best I have ever heard!
Sir Thomas John Woodward aka Sir Tom Jones at 82 still has his vocal skills. Jones is currently a judge for The Voice: UK
His voice is still as amazing to this day! That man was simply born to sing.
It's really cute to see how you try to give a thoughtful informative analysis, but Tom Jones still makes you giddy and tongue-tied. No need to feel bad, you're in the company of millions.
Sir Tom Jones has always had such an effect on the ladies, for all of his career. And with a voice and vocal power like that, the man totally deserves it.
Is there anyone singing like this with such power, control and range. And he presents it so smoothly.
When my mother first heard him, way back then, she knew he was going to be something. She LOVED his singing.
You give the BEST adjectives when describing someone's voice! I love to watch you listen!!
The conductor did not stop dancing....love it
The best thing is that Tom is still killing it in his '80s - sounds as good as ever. I think he just came out with a new album, if I'm not mistaken.
Wow!, I've loved Tom Jones since I was a little girl too❤ what a man🤗 what a voice!! Just fantastic. The ladies would toss their undies to him, back in the day!😂😂😂 A beautiful Welsh man😀🌏🪐🌕🙏😎🇦🇺🌟👣🦜🍂🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
he is 80 and still sounds GREAT. Been listening to him since my Mom and Dad played his records. He is strong and in so much control. Thanks again. Do his I will never fall in love again
Tom Jones is amazing!!! a National Welsh Treasure!
Tom Jones has a voice of a god!!!!! WOW!!!😮
You could do Tom Jones singing ‘’l’ll never fall in Love Again from the sixties and then see him on The voice UK. The son of the man who wrote the song, came in as an audition and when it was revealed he was the son of Lonnie Donegal, the song writer, they sing it as a duet on the spur of the moment. Tom is over 80 now and still sounds great.
I saw that. I was impressed at how gracious Tom was- and how grateful he was for Lonnie giving him that song. And as an aside, why isn't Lonnie in the Rock Hall of Fame?
"It's almost like you see all the incredible talent, but you can't quite pick up on what it is." Exactly. I've seen/heard this performance countless times over the years, but his delivery is just so natural, so apparently effortless, that the mechanics behind the magic are just too elusive to catch - and, certainly, to dissect - at times. Everything just flows right by (or through?) you - as any great performance should. It all seems to be completely second-nature to him. There was a great quote by someone (can't remember who). They were talking about some professional athlete's ability and said that it was like watching someone doing something they've always known as opposed to something they had to learn. I feel the same way about Jones as a vocalist and performer. A true master of his craft.
I grew up listening to Tom Jones as a little boy. He is so amazing! Thank you so much for your reaction. I still get goose bumps listening to him sing now. Please try and react to a 1967 song "I"ll Never Fall In Love Again", and "I Who Have Nothing". I think you will totally enjoy those 2. But there are so many other songs that he knocks out of the park too. Thanks Again! Andy
I love how giggly his singing makes you - well done!
The Vocalist is sweet on Tom, the Vocalist is sweet on Tom. Tom Jones had such a rich voice that could travel down the scale smoothly.
And he's still performing at over 80 years old.❤
I just wanted to say how much I love your analysis and your reactions. You give us wonderful technical insight but in a highly relatable way for us non-singers. And it’s quite charming to see someone with your training and knowledge also become human and give in to the emotion of someone like Tom Jones. It’s a pleasure to watch your videos.
A real hidden gem is on The Tom Jones show Tom had on Crosby Stills and Nash Tom took the stage with them and sang lead on thier hit Long Time Gone it was great ❤
Thanks for posting this. Tom is my favortite singer of all time!! My parents listened to him when I was young and I knew even then he had an incredibe voice.
And this is coming out of antiquated sound gear which makes it more impressive.
I was 10 in '68, and I remember watching this show. My mom and 72 year old grandma both were 'fans.' My buddy told me that his mom was at a live concert and tore her panties off, from under her dress, and threw them on the stage. That was common practice at a Tom Jones show.
My favorite singer of all-time. I was born in 1962 and his music has been a permanent fixture in my musical life. Simply untouchable in every way!!!! So much power and range. Tom can sing anything!!!! THE voice has no equal.
Other songs to check out...
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime"
"Without Love"
"Try a Little Tenderness"
"What the World Needs Now is Love"
"Ebb Tide"
For starters.
He has a wonderful masculine voice.
I’m 63 and grew up with this music. My parents listen to Tom, well I mean my mom did more😅but I listen today because all we had back then was talented singers with no auto-tune. Now I see why I keep going back to listen. 😉😏
Oh yes, I could listen to him all day and never be tired of his rich voice and watching his performances. Have to agree with you, excuse me while I swoon hahahaha. Thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction and the way you described his singing technique. 😊
Look how far he holds the mic away, because his voice is so strong
I was noticing that. Not sure he even needs a mic at all!
Saw him live just a few years ago and given he was in his 70s by then he still had it!
I saw him 5 years straight in the early 1970s in Las Vegas when he was at Cesar's Palace. Believe me, no one was disappointed. You would have be blown away at how he could control the audience. How he got the men involved was so well done. Many a time I heard men before entering the showroom say they were only there because their wife or girlfriend wanted to see him. On the way after the show I would often hear, "We're coming back next year to see Tom" (notice on the 1st name basis). He was certainly quite a showman who played to the whole audience. Interestingly, that also came across in his recordings.
He still is the best❤❤❤
Tom jones has such a seasoned voice. Ive recently discovered him and I’m in love with his tone, and talent.
I love watching your response to the singers....your facial expressions have such a range and subtlety. And your feeling for the music is exquisite.
The man reeks of sheer charisma! Great reaction Beth❤
You know this is why it's such a blessing to have recordings of these past great artists that are in many ways easy to forget because of the current trends and styles and music and to see young people like you appreciate the older singers like Frank Sinatra Elvis Presley Tom Jones Andy Williams The Righteous Brothers gives me great joy it feels like I'm sharing something out of my past thank you so much for your insights and your honest opinion
Tom Jones is in his 80’s and still has a beautiful voice.
Interestingly John Farnham and Tom Jones were big fans of each other and actually toured togther in concert in 2005. (John was in his 56 and Tom was 65) It was one of the best concerts I ever went to. Both their voices still spectacular❤
Wow that would have been amazing, you're very lucky.
he's around 80 now and his voice is still incredible
Tom and Dean Martin have that same silky, smooth, dreamy, well connected voice. Ugh! So good!
And the same birthday 😁
The power of a Welsh baritone-tenor...
Having grown up in the 60s and 70s, his voice has always resonated in my memories. Motherless Child and Thunderball were two of my favorites.
His vocal power was known to blow out microphones
Such a great voice, such a great talent. I'm just a millennial, so most of his work was out before I was even born but I have so much appreciation and respect for his work. incredible.
I remember being 8 years old, in the car with my mom and one of his songs came on the radio, it was the first time I've ever heard him sing and I thought, damn this guy has the coolest voice I've ever heard. I was so envious. To this day I don't think I've heard anyone better.
Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck were the two great British male singers from back in the 60's. Engelbert's voice was right up there with Tom's but Tom was more dynamic and the better showman. It's so great that you do the older singers as well as the new.
Speaking of new can I make a suggestion for Lucy Thomas, an English girl, from four years ago at the age of 15 singing 'Listen' from Dreamgirls. It's a difficult song and she nailed it. Also the video is entirely close ups of her singing so you get to see all of her workings as she sings. She has about sixty videos on her CZcams channel 'Lucy Thomas Music' and some of them are duets with her nearly six years younger sister Martha.
Even more of a freaky song when you realize he's killing off Delilah
Tom Jones singing Without Love can give any tenor a run for his money.
Toms singing forces a picture to form in your mind.. Your appreciation of music is wonderful.
I’ve seen this performance before on CZcams, and I always thought his vocals were out of this world. Thanks for the video!
Love Tom Jones, great reaction. His voice is a warm blanket that wraps around your soul.
I saw you did a reaction to John Farnham recently. You should see Tom and John sing together, they have such beautiful stage chemistry. One of my favorite clips is from Hey Hey it's Saturday of these two singing My Yiddeshe Momma together. Beautiful.
Snap! I was going to suggest the exact same thing! Bethany would love them as a duo. John and Tom together is an absolute treat. And they both got to show their humour and personality bouncing off each other in Hey Hey.
I've seen them both perform live - separately, John more times than I can count across three decades but Tom only once (in the 90s 🙂)
@@watertigger1 You mean you missed their tour together!! That show was just magic. I love the song where they are poking fun at each other. Can't remember what it is called though.
@@cptamazingone Nope, wasn't fortunate enough to catch them in concert together. 😢
I'm sure it would have been amazing.
@@cptamazingone Is it available to watch somewhere?
He’s got such a gorgeous range and he’s so gorgeous and such charisma. I saw him at Foxwoods Casino a few years ago. He did his old classics, new songs and such a stage presence…incredible! ❤❤
We're in love with this man!
I have enjoyed this reaction video a lot. The performance of Tom Jones is sublime and raises goosebumps in my skin. Also, it is pure bliss to gaze at the reaction of this attractive woman and her gorgeous smile.
This video brings back a lot of memories. Tom Jones used to have a TV show in the USA back in the late 1960's. My Mother was a huge fan. Needless to say. We watched that show every single week.
I’ll never fall in love again is one of his best songs.
At 83, Tom is still the best vocalist out there !!
Tom ‘had everything’ a woman could want in an entertainer
He would walk on to any stage
His voice was off the Richter scale
No backing tracks
No backing dancers
No horrible AUTOTUNE
Just Tom, Orchestra and a microphone
He is 83 in June. WOW
I recommend you search CZcams video called Tom Jones PAPA from 1976
A Tv show in France - I would think it’s Paris
It’s not he sings this song
Just look at what he wears
When men like Tom could and would show off his masculinity
👍 👍 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️
Love your comment!😂❤😍😍😉
Saw Tom Jones 14 times in concert back in the day ... mind blowing performer with an amazingly powerful voice ... fantastic dance moves that got all of us on our feet ... and , oh yes , he wasn't hard to look at either !! He and Elvis were good friends ... imagine both of them on stage together lol !!!!
Love your reaction and your appreciation for Tom Jones...👍🏻😎
I feel you were captivated by him; not as a vocal Coach, but as a beautiful young lady feeling he was singing only to you! I love your video! ❤️
Can't blame you for fangirling a little bit. I think of him as one of the greatest baritones ever, but he can sing some pretty high notes, so he covers a lot of tenor territory too.
My parents had me singing "It's Not Unusual" on a reel-to-reel around 1970, when I was 3 years old. I was taking liberty with the lyrics, singing "It's Not Unwoosual". Sir Tom and the Beatles were my biggest influences when I was young for singing and guitar playing, learning solo singing from Tom, and harmonizing from the lads from Liverpool.
I love Tom Jones and Your great reaction.😊 I have heard him life two times. The last time around 4 years ago and he still sounded absolutely fantastic. ❤
I could never appreciate him when I was a kid because, well..I was a dumb kid. WOW! He's really incredible. His voice sounds like he may have been operatically trained.
Tom Jones....a real singer/entertainer. Thanks Tom, I grew up on your music !
Tom is amazing. Loved watching the conductor grooving :)
No auto-tune there. Just talent
Best part is, he neeeded that mic distance to not blow recording equipment of the time. It's known that when studios asked him to come closer he has blown their equipment.
Seen him a dozen times. Amazing voice!
Том Джонс хорош во все времена. Ну что ещё можно сказать о прекрасном исполнителе.
И Бетани понимает это всей душой. Понимает и ценит и, только в своей манере доносит это до нас. Благодарим исполнителя и замечательную реакционершу... Всё на уровне.
Great comment Sir.
I’ll watch anything from his show. It’s the best! Great analysis and reaction
I remember seeing this performance and this video replays it well. Tom Jones was a master at singing most any song. During his time as a performer, he was one of the 'sexy singers'! lol
Interesting to note that he got his big break in America with "It's Not Unusual." Tom recorded the demo vocal of the tune for Sandie Shaw. Sandy heard his version and immediately insisted that Tom sing it and release it himself. The rest is history.
A shout out to the arranger. Including mariachi brass was bold.
The best "yeah" ever recorded is Tom Jones at the beginning of "If I only knew".
I enjoy his singing more now than l did years ago. Al Green, Sam Cooke and James Carr have been favourites for years but Tom has such power and confidence in his ability. It’s such a shame we no longer hear great singers
Sir Tom Jones just recently sang here in New Zealand. At the ripe old age of 81 his voice sounds as good as ever….
He got his first break to fame on a tv talent show in the 60’s called “Opportunity Knocks” a sort of forerunner to Britain’s Got Talent, which he won
You know why I keep coming back to watch your reactions. Its because you are so open and honest and cute with the way you struggle to find what you want to say when really you end up saying what you thought. Bass. Luv ya. Lol keep doing yer thing.
I remember him singing the theme song from the movie "What's New Pussycat?" I think that was the first song I ever heard by Burt Bacharach. I just looked that up. I didn't realize that movie was written by Woody Allen. My favorite Burt Bacharach song was "The Look of Love" sung by Dusty Springfield. That was from the original "Casino Royale" movie. She sang that in such a sexy way.
I'm a straight guy, straight as an arrow, and even I'm in love with Tom Jones....
You have a very expressive face, which serves you well when making reaction videos. It's fun seeing something about what's going on in your head even when you're not talking to us
Tom Jones is just awsome got to say his beautiful voice is as beautiful the way you speak and communicate
Loved it!
Amazing delivery by sir Tom! Fantastic! He’s so fantastic it overshadow the fact that this song is about a murder! 😳
He could sing anything can light my fire anytime
Saw Tom on Aussie tv singing briefly with John Farnham. That was th only time I ever thought Farnham needed more power to compete!
MY YIDDESHE MOMMA
My Mom LOVED Tom Jones. We grew up listening to his albums and watching him on TV. Amazing voice and entertainer to this day. Love Tom!
Sir Tom Jones's voice is pure magic! It is even more magical watching him perform live!
I've been aware of TJ since the mid '60s and I have never, ever heard him hit a wrong note. What I also love is that with a voice this good you need no vocal gymnastics or ornamentation to impress and there is minimum ornamentation here.
Effin brilliant! Thanks for the assessment!
Thank you so much for the analysis! I never appreciated him when I was young, but as I've gotten older I don't just appreciate him, I'm totally blown away. Like you said, I couldn't put my finger on what techniques he was using. For me, it's hard to tell the difference between technique and the expressiveness of his stage persona. You stopping the video and pointing out and explaining has been very helpful. Looking forward to seeing more of your analysis videos!
I so loved watching his TV show back in the day! I wish they would make a movie about him he deserves it! He an Adele should do a collaboration. He always had sway in his clothing style and his presence back then and still today... He's a silver fox! 🌼
We've seen him a couple of times in the last few years. On one occasion at Spectrum (Oslo) he asked for the house cleaning lights to be switched on so that he could "see" his audience. The place was ecstatic and he was delivering the performance as if his life depended on it and enjoying it.
