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.
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?
He’s Welsh. Boy, can the people of Wales sing! Tom Jones is a living vocal legend. ❤🏴
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.
Notice how far he has to hold the microphone from his mouth. His voice is that powerful 😳.
Yep. I just came here from a duet he did with John Farnham. Tom Jones is the first singer I've seen who can match John's power. Everyone else has to just about swallow their mic to keep up, while John looks like he needs longer arms to get the mic far enough away to not overpower them. In their duet, Tom and John were both using similar mic technique.
Unfortunately, when Tom's songs came out, I couldn't admit how much I enjoyed his voice. He wasn't "cool" like Led Zep or the Stones, so I had to keep my admiration to myself.
You give the BEST adjectives when describing someone's voice! I love to watch you listen!!
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
Tom Jones has a voice to equal no others...the best I have ever heard!
His vocal power was known to blow out microphones
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 TH-cam channel 'Lucy Thomas Music' and some of them are duets with her nearly six years younger sister Martha.
Sir Thomas John Woodward aka Sir Tom Jones at 82 still has his vocal skills. Jones is currently a judge for The Voice: UK
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?
I'm a straight guy, straight as an arrow, and even I'm in love with Tom Jones....
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.
Is there anyone singing like this with such power, control and range. And he presents it so smoothly.
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😀🌏🪐🌕🙏😎🇦🇺🌟👣🦜🍂🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
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.
His voice is still as amazing to this day! That man was simply born to sing.
"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.
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.
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?
Tom Jones has a voice of a god!!!!! WOW!!!😮
I love how giggly his singing makes you - well done!
When my mother first heard him, way back then, she knew he was going to be something. She LOVED his singing.
And this is coming out of antiquated sound gear which makes it more impressive.
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 TH-cam 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!😂❤😍😍😉
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.
The conductor did not stop dancing....love it
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.
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.
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. 😊
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.
Check Gigi de Lana's " I who have nothing" by Tom Jones❤
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 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
He has a wonderful masculine voice.
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.
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.
He still is the best❤❤❤
And he's still performing at over 80 years old.❤
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.
Even more of a freaky song when you realize he's killing off Delilah
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.
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!
The man reeks of sheer charisma! Great reaction Beth❤
Tom and Dean Martin have that same silky, smooth, dreamy, well connected voice. Ugh! So good!
And the same birthday 😁
I’ll never fall in love again is one of his best songs.
A shout out to the arranger. Including mariachi brass was bold.
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.
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.
The power of a Welsh baritone-tenor...
Tom Jones is amazing!!! a National Welsh Treasure!
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.
Love your channel ❤ Yes Tom has unbelievable stage charisma. He was close friends with Elvis and Elvis himself once said that Tom's voice was incredible.
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.
I’ve seen this performance before on TH-cam, and I always thought his vocals were out of this world. Thanks for the video!
Tom seems to have impeccable control of that vibrato. Able to fade it in and back out again, anytime.He still sounds great at over 80 years old!!..Englebert Humperdinck, a contemporary of Tom's, could also weave such a powerful crooner's voice into that Latin sound. However, Englebert would barely have is mouth open at all much of the time.I've also noticed how Stevie Wonder can blast such a powerful voice with his lips only open a 1/4 of an inch or so..Englebert, Spanish Eyes. Another magical moment of the times.th-cam.com/video/-X0U9ssKvRs/w-d-xo.html
You are as good as the artists you critique!
It’s not unusual.
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.
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.
he's around 80 now and his voice is still 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.
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. 😉😏
Bethany, на твоем лице, в глазах, улыбке, столько эмоций!) Это поразительно!)) Можно снимать эмоцию на твои эмоции от прослушивания!) Хочу предложить тебе послушать русскую народную песню в исполнении Пелагея - Ой, да не вечер. И по возможности услышать твое мнение о её голосе! Спасибо и привет с берега Байкала, Сибирь, Россия!)
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 ❤
Tom jones has such a seasoned voice. Ive recently discovered him and I’m in love with his tone, and talent.
This was a HUGE hit while I was still living in Germany in the late 1960's, but I didn't know at the time that it was a Tom Jones song because it was sung in German by a popular German performer named Peter Alexander. Alexander had to alter the lyrics because a straightforward translation wouldn't have preserved the cadence and rhythm of the original song. I'd be curious to hear what you have to say about Alexander's version: th-cam.com/video/-LWsfejKvho/w-d-xo.html
I saw him sing this in October 1968, the women were throwing their underwear at him, it was crazy, listen to him sing “ I’ll never fall in love again, mesmerising to listen to
Tom Jones singing Without Love can give any tenor a run for his money.
I would love to see your reaction to Tom Jones 1967 performance of I'll never fall in love again, it's arguably his best performance ever
I saw Tom in Vagas in the 60s. Women would throw panties up on stage.
Please consider doing your reaction to Eva Cassidy's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow or Fields of Gold.🥰 My mother was absolutely in love with Tom Jones! We had all of his albums and she would put them on and we'd sing and dance around the living room. 😄 Good memories.
Tom Jones is in his 80’s and still has a beautiful voice.
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! ❤❤
Amazing delivery by sir Tom! Fantastic! He’s so fantastic it overshadow the fact that this song is about a murder! 😳
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
Tom Jones the best👍👍👍

Please reaction to song title ALONE by Celine Dion cover by Vanny Vabiola from Indonesia🙏👍
Hey treat yourself.
There is a song called MY YIDDESHE MOMMA (Jewish Ballad).
It has been performed as DUET with Tom Jones and John Farnham..
Do yourself a favour.
you will fall in love with JONAH NILSSON from DIRTY LOOPS, The voice and the looks.! don't forget about my dirty loops suggestions.
The Ed Sullivan Show was live and they were always having time constraints. Comedians were told to cut their 4 minute routine to 2 and a half minutes. Singers scheduled to sing two songs were told to cut the 2nd song. Clearly, they asked Tom to speed Delilah up because it’s the fastest version ever. Here’s Tom singing it live before about 1 million people about 45 years later: th-cam.com/video/zo2O5E9Ea9Y/w-d-xo.html
Tom is amazing. Loved watching the conductor grooving :)
So sad that the most recent target of the cancel culture is to get this song banned.
No it's not. The cancel culture won't dare even think about going after Tom especially since it's all backfiring on the scumbag traitors.
Tom Jones the ladies man. He was it. 60’s Tom was hot. Chest Hair showing. Females throwing underwear’s at him on stage. Tom and Englebert Humperdink
This is a little off the subject, but I couldn't help myself admire the band conducter, who was literally dancing to the song near the end of the record. It looks like everyone feels the same way with Tom Jones singing.
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.
Being a sexy good looking man helps! He is Welsh and for whatever reason Welsh men had very good voices, whether spoken or vocal, think Richard Burton.
Only Tom could sing about offing his woman with a knife and still have tons of women falling all over every word of his confession. Maybe Elvis could get away with that also, but that's it!
your really need to listen to Tom singing Never fall in love again from the 1967 Dusty Springfield show it is absolutely breath taking
No auto-tune there. Just talent
It's a good thing you didn't choose 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again'...we'd have had to pick you up off the floor. 🙂
If you want to see something, really, funny (if you haven't, already), check-out the version of this song that Christopher Walken does in the movie Romance and Cigarettes (which, of course, you can see on TH-cam without watching the whole film.) It's a musical and it's, absolutely, hysterical. There's a whole scenario around it that's amazingly funny. Plus, Walken does a good job of the song. Enjoy!
Tom received no training, he learnt to sing in the Welsh valleys. For someone who talks a lot, you don’t actually say anything. Sorry…
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 !!!!
I’ll watch anything from his show. It’s the best! Great analysis and reaction
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.
Me encanta Tom, aún ahora, a la edad que tiene, mantiene su nivel y potencia❤
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
The best "yeah" ever recorded is Tom Jones at the beginning of "If I only knew".
