Rumblecat Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Everyone under 60 years old is asking "Who's Tom Jones?" Nah, he was a presenter on The Voice, that's a pretty high profile show. Hell, he even had a number one hit six or seven years ago, albeit for Comic Relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyflower Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm no so in love now, but in the old days, Sir Tom could have put his shoes under my bed at any time. Mind you I believe he was pretty good at sharing his shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkthink Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I have not hit 50 but I sure love Tom Jones. He's a world class entertainer, a league of his own. He gets you up from your seat just like that, it's magic. Showbiz is a fickle business. One day you're in, the next day you're out. And when this guy who has been in the business for almost 5 decades, U know what a powerhouse he is. It's sad when one doesn't even know who Tom Jones is. It seems that your life has just passed you by Edited April 4, 2016 by thinkthink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairynuff Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It's not unusual.They should get PJ Proby to take his place, that's the guy Tom Jones copied. Oh yes you're right....Tom Jones copied P J Proby........the guy had one hit and faded into oblivion....and Tom Jones who's as popular today as he always was.

nisakiman Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I wonder if low ticket sales is the real reason. I was very surprised to see him coming here to a large venue.; I think most Thais do not even know of him. I suspect not: Tom Jones cancels entire Asia Tour He's been here before, as I recall previous shows were a sell out. Some time ago (maybe ten years or so) I used to go to a music bar in Patpong (Radio City? Can't remember) quite often, where they had a Tom Jones impersonator and an Elvis impersonator, both Thai and both really quite good. And a good band. The place was always heaving with young(ish) Thais, so I think Tom Jones is actually very well known and liked in Thailand. Edit to say that I just caught the last couple of posts about his wife's death. Very sorry to hear it. As I understand it, they were married for a long time.
