Brilliant! One of the realist reactions that actually knows a thing or two. Most of the other recent reactors have no clue. They just jump on the bandwagon.
Wonderful reaction to the entire performance; Tom's magnificent voice and emotion, his elegance, looks, charisma, gesture, charm, and all the rest of it. We all love him. We are all "in love" with him. Thank you so very much!
Thank you for respecting and showcasing all the talent and beauty about Tom Jones. I have watched a lot of channels reacting to this song and a lot said very little. You nailed him. He is def charismatic, masculine, classy in a league of his own vocally. Thank you for acknowledging it. Thumbs up for you and him 👍
A Great analysis of the man you got it spot on, im 67 years old and I had the privilege of growing up with the man and his music so lucky truly one of the greatest vocalists of all time and for that I'll always be greatful for having that privilege cheers!
Great reaction. Tom sings live, no lip syncing or auto tune. I love his ballads and his uptempo numbers. I’m amazed that he can sing and dance without being out of breath. Check out the many you tube videos on his TV show from 1969- 1971 for a variety of different performances and duets.
You know, I think of "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," "Delilah," and "The Green, Green Grass of Home" as a trilogy. In the first song, Tom's heart is broken, and he's very sad. Pitiable. All you know about the woman involved is that she fell for someone else. Then in Song 2, Tom turns all stalkerific, and the woman comes off as a treacherous bitch. I'm not sure if he is a reliable narrator at this point, however; he might have gone a little crazy. After all, he obviously has the knife before Delilah opens the door and laughs in his face. (One lady, in her reaction to this song, offered some good advice to all us women: If you open the door and your man is there, and you are totally busted for cheating, DON'T LAUGH. Instead, apologize profusely and tearfully -- then CLOSE THE DOOR.) And of course, in the last song, Tom dreams of simpler times at his childhood home with his childhood sweetheart on the eve of his execution for murder one. I know these songs were not even penned by the same people, much less intended to go together, but I enjoy my imagination.
@@crazierthan-u7571 a couple of other reactors have a Tom Jones regular slot and the last time I watched the woman said which Tom will we get tonight and someone posted, could be Stalker Tom or Slasher Tom! Hahahaha! My gardener and I have been compiling a list of dodgy songs and Tom, The Knack, and Mick Jagger have all been featured recently. Strange how you don't notice the lyrics at the time, only when you get someone taking them apart in front of you. All good fun ;)
@@rubydazzler I know what you mean. I have comprised my principles in the interest of jamming out to the Stones and others. For example, "Under My Thumb" is grossly sexist, but that didn't keep me from learning the xylophone part on my keyboard and playing along with the record (as if they'd let a woman be in the band, lol). The lyrics to "Brown Sugar" are so offensive, it's hard to believe it has enjoyed 40-some years of airplay. People just can't resist that opening guitar hook and will follow it to hell if that's where it leads. Then there's AC/DC. One certainly doesn't expect any sweetness and light from these guys, but my favorite song by them, "Squealer," is really ... bad. Or maybe it's just me. Maybe you could give it a listen and give me your take on it? You wouldn't have to listen to the whole thing (it goes on forever instrumentality after the lyrics have ended).
@@rubydazzler Oh, yeah! I had been jammin' out to Pat Travers' live audience- participation blues cover, "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)," for decades before I realized that the guy is out looking for his girlfriend so he can shoot her to death!! It's such a fun song, though. I mean, Pat goes, "Boom boom!" and the crowd responds, "Out go the lights!"
I was two when this was broadcast and in germany my dad was british army. To me this has always been the definitive version of this song, head and shoulders above the record release, so emotional, you can feel his pain and you can hear it in his beuatiful delivery, drawing on his emotions, pulling them from deep inside, Almost crying in parts, just superb and superbly recorded live, no lip synching or backing tracks, just him and a great backing band and orchestra, no autotune in those days and just the one take, pure talent.
Great reaction, full of admiration for him. A mans man, not many about. We used to judge a man by asking "do you want this man next to you in the trenches"
You hit all the marks analyzing Tom's voice. It is the voice and his control of it that supports everything else, the looks, the charm, the charisma. He is amazing! Thank you!
You are the best person that's ever reacted to Tom jones..you absolutely are on point in every thought +comment about "I'll never fall in love again" +your knowledge enthusiasm about his cannonball voice..is so true...there isn't another singer to equal him ....his voice is unique....he still has great power in his voice at age 82...plus still got the looks..
If you've ever watched The Voice UK and seen JHud sitting next to him...she was always in pure awe of him...and a crush like any of us might have had on our favorite teacher.
I agree with EVERYTHING you’ve said. I’m stunned with his beautiful handsomeness, personality, soul, rhythm, talent, aura, voice, etc., etc., etc. I’m 74-1/2 (I want credit for every damned day I’ve lived), and between this performance, and Bobby Hatfield in Unchained Melody, they are unforgettable. One other video song I’d ask you to review is Brooks and Dunn in “Believe”. Grab a box of Kleenex, my brother, that one is on par with these I just mentioned. Keep on rocking!
Tom Jones own show we had the joy weekly. Still singing as strong and still can melt. Lonnie Donnigan wrote this for him. A more recent one Tower of song.
@@lynette. Yes, Lynette he does say that but Tom is misremembering something from 50 years ago and maybe should correct it. A lot of people get confused. At the time everyone was bringing their songs to him but Lonnie had written and recorded it in 1962 and had released it then but it flopped because it wasn't skiffle. Five years later in 1967 it was presented to Tom, by Lonnie himself I believe, for consideration. Here is Lonnie : ruclips.net/video/WmMNLT8IGsA/видео.html&ab_channel=trinovantian61
I got very emotional😭. Omg!!! The guy has incredible voice. I was 13 in 1967. I remember this song. I never paid attention to it then. But listening to it now made me cry. Tom Jones is brilliant♥️
Fantastic..born in London in 61, and my mum and dad loved him..great effort in breaking down how magnificently unique, his voice was.What a performance..and the ease of perfection...I'd say, as did you, that he is at the peak, in the pantheon of singers..(or if not, damn close)..nice one, squire.
Nailed it on comments about Tom. Well done. Tom Jones, good grief, what a voice and entertainer! Recognition must be made to the endless hours of practice he no doubt put in. But, God gave him that talent and natural charisma - let there be no mistake about that. Can’t teach heart and soul; it’s there or it’s not. Without question, Tom is one of the all time greats! And this live performance is an incredible gift.
Every time I hear the name Tom Jones I always hum " hello pussycat, whoa whoa whoa whoa " lol. Great singer, and a heartthrob for many years. I remember women throwing panties on stage when he was performing.
Why do all the reactors react to the same particular songs at any given time? Everyone's doing this one now. Next it'll be another specific song that everyone eventually gets around to reacting to. I don't know how that works. I remember when he had a weekly show and would end each episode with a medley of songs. Halfway through, he'd slowly undo his bowtie and the women would go absolutely bonkers.
I am familiar with Tom also from back in the day. We use to sit around the tv and watch his show every week and watch the women swoon. I was pretty young then but I understood to a degree why those women reacted that way. But getting back to what you said about Tom having that mixture of like Elvis and Frank Sinatra...exactly! He could have been part of the "Rat Pack" if he was old enough back then. I enjoyed your video a lot and all of your heartfelt comments. I'm sure a lot of men probably felt the same way, that if they were a woman they would have fallen for him also!
How great was this performance and how great is Tom's voice.Let's just say I doubt you would ever hear somebody try and sing this at a karaoke. In fact I doubt that they would even have this on karaoke. Nice reaction.
Another balladeer I think he shares some traits of putting in emotion and feeling is - of all singers - James Brown, when the latter sung some of his slow ballads.
This recording is from The Dusty Springfield Show in September 1967. It was a live show transmitted on a Saturday night in prime time. So, no pressure there. But Tom and Dusty were consummate performers, and singing live for the audience in the theatre and millions watching on TV was like falling off a log for them. They don't make them like that anymore.
The power in this song and performance by Tom Jones is how he shows a pure vulnerability which is or should be a part of healthy masculinity. All too often there are notions that men should not show weakness or vulnerability.
Have u noticed there are over 100 reaction videos to this song?? This is my 75th. The man does it over and over. All women moan and get the heats and men smile and get hair chest. Sir. Tom Jones is not a mere singer, he is a God.
Great reaction mate, I’ve seen a few of yours, Gary Brooker, a few Floyd ones and your appreciation of greatness is unmatched, most reactors just follow a script but you go a lot deeper and it’s appreciated
The total package... Tom is still the most popular judge on Voice UK. This and Bobby Hatfield's "Unchained Melody" on Andy Williams...two of the greatest live TV performances ever. Much like Bobby's performance, this also far surpasses the studio/record/radio versions people have heard.
❤️ your reaction to the best male singer ever after my opinion 👍😊, hope your next one is the best female singer ever after my opinion. Angelina Jordan 👍😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
True Man....I Love The Way This Man Describes The Voice Of Tom. I Am A Heterosexual....Man But, Were I A Woman..... [He's Secure Enough In His OWN Masculinity To Recognize The Masculinity Of Tom's Voice] I RESPECT YOU THAT.... Because, As A Woman, I Wholeheartedly Agree With You As, Did Millions Of Other Women! 😁
How nice to see a reaction video by someone who might be within a decade of my own age! Almost all the others reacting to this song (and other old music) are very young, and I'm not sure if I trust some of their enthusiastic reactions. When I was that age, I thought the music my parents listened to pretty much sucked. I wouldn't develop an appreciation for some of it until I got older. Tom Jones was popular when I was coming of age, but my friend Karen and I were into the Beatles and Woodstock era rock, plus Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top, Deep Purple -- you know. Around 1977, when we were in our mid-twenties, Tom Jones performed in our city. We never would have gone, but Karen's MOTHER wanted us to take her, so there we were, thinking how oh-my-god lame this concert was going to be. During that period, Barry White was quite popular. I basically hated him, but his latest song, "The First, the Last, My Everything," had major appeal for me. Don't you know, that was the song Tom opened his concert with, backed by a group of musicians that completely killed. Karen and I had a great time, though not to the point of joining the line of women going up for a kiss from Tom or handing him their panties for him to sweat or slobber on. Eww. We did, however, purchase an album of his greatest hits the next day. I can remember smoking weed and grooving out to "The Green, Green Grass of Home." This video you're reacting to here is a stellar live performance of "I'm Never ... ." He does make it look effortless. (At 83, he still performs well live, but it doesn't look so effortless.) As good as he sounded on this particular BBC show live, I have seen a few TV appearances where you can tell Tom, rather than lip-syncing, is singing live to an in-house audience, but everyone who is watching him on TV is hearing the studio recording. I don't know why this was done but it was common, as you know. Perhaps artists, or TV producers, were afraid the technology available on some programs would make some performers' live music come off sounding like shit over the airwaves. Maybe you know more about this. By the way, I found out that Tom's throat-clearing isn't really a singing thing, it's a "thing thing." I mean, he does it all the time, like a nervous habit. Anyway, I enjoyed this video; I will be checking out more of your reactions for sure.
daXmusiX: I watched your reaction again. If someone were to take an overview of how a Reaction should be -- yours would be a perfect example. Many women fidget with their hair, their clothes; talk to others off camera; pause the video in inappropriate places, etc. You do your homework in advance, pause when necessary, but then back up to keep continuity; and express what I consider genuine thoughts and feelings. (It also helps that your thoughts and feelings mirror mine exactly!) Even when there was no audio coming out of your lips, I could tell you were saying "WOW". Thank you for a great reaction! (Only thing I don't like about you is you have more hair than me!)
Bill, thank you sincerely, but my friend, I don’t think I have been told that I have more hair than anybody for decades, so you made my day! 😉 I sure appreciate your comments. Reactions are not really that easy. I have to be careful about interrupting at the right times, etc., so it’s really good to get the kind of evaluation that you gave. Oh yes, and Tom Jones is a God!
Think this was his own show? He sang with loads of other stars on it, but I think Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin gave him a run for his money. Especially Janis, you could see him realising he was going to have to make more of an effort to keep up with her. :)
I think he’s only 27 years old in this. So talented. He’s one of a kind. 🥰
Bruh wtf this is by far the best reaction video. You broke it down properly and actually appreciated every Nuance, good job man.
Duke ... Thx, man!
Brilliant! One of the realist reactions that actually knows a thing or two. Most of the other recent reactors have no clue. They just jump on the bandwagon.
I get what you’re saying. I also like that young ones get to hear real singing. The reactions I’ve seen, they’ve all been blown away
Never have I ever heard a voice like that again the greatest voice I ever heard
This is live...and when artists could actually sing. Fabulous vocals.
Sir Tom Jones has a one of a kind voice, My grand mother loved him.
Wonderful reaction to the entire performance; Tom's magnificent voice and emotion, his elegance, looks, charisma, gesture, charm, and all the rest of it. We all love him. We are all "in love" with him. Thank you so very much!
What can I say?? Tom, Tom, Tom. Your voice is velvet!! Your voice is just unbelievable!!
Thank you for respecting and showcasing all the talent and beauty about Tom Jones. I have watched a lot of channels reacting to this song and a lot said very little. You nailed him. He is def charismatic, masculine, classy in a league of his own vocally. Thank you for acknowledging it. Thumbs up for you and him 👍
Watching these reaction videos and enjoying them. I'm in love all over again. This is a man that makes you want him.
Всем певцам певец, всем королям король, сэр ТОМ ДЖОНС!!!!БРАВОООО!!!!
in my opinion the greatest male perfomance ever.
I wouldn’t argue with you about that. I think it might just be. It has everything!
Yes, he is overwhelming! It’s so cool that he’s still performing.
Absolutely Stunning isn't even enough. Thanks for a great reaction!
Great reaction, I agree 100% with your estimation, his voice is divine and so powerful.
A Great analysis of the man you got it spot on, im 67 years old and I had the privilege of growing up with the man and his music so lucky truly one of the greatest vocalists of all time and for that I'll always be greatful for having that privilege cheers!
Thank you for going down this rabbit hole. Please continue with this voice!!.
Give the right man the right song and he'll do that, superb
i could swear i heard a choir of angels👼
Absolutely gorgeous and agree totally with your review. Tom has the most phenomenal operatic voice and just oozes charisma . Love your reactions
Great reaction. Tom sings live, no lip syncing or auto tune. I love his ballads and his uptempo numbers. I’m amazed that he can sing and dance without being out of breath. Check out the many you tube videos on his TV show from 1969- 1971 for a variety of different performances and duets.
Tom Jones literally lives every song he sings. He is awesome. I would love to see your reaction to his version of The Green Green Grass of Home.
Larry ... I’ll be doing that one very soon. Thanks!
You know, I think of "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," "Delilah," and "The Green, Green Grass of Home" as a trilogy.

He is fenomenal!!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to let me know that, Terry. Sure appreciate it. 😉
I watched many reviews and I like yours the best. Sounds so intelligent. Thank you
He's like a James Bond in Sir Tom Jones 🎤😎🔥
Hahaha remember Thunderball?
Don't apologize for stopping the video and rewinding, I did exactly the same thing. Amazed by his voice and showmanship.
Thanks very much! I think you and most people feel that way, especially with somebody as great as Tom!
Agree with every word i saw him in concert last year and he is still so sexually potent it like a physical blow justt amazing.
The total package...
Tom is still the most popular judge on Voice UK.
This and Bobby Hatfield's "Unchained Melody" on Andy Williams...two of the greatest live TV performances ever.
Much like Bobby's performance, this also far surpasses the studio/record/radio versions people have heard.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I lived in Tom's Career i know what happens to many STOPS AND REWINDS for me
Rugby comes close
Operatic voice he sings Dehlila with Pavorotti and was not overpowered on the last note they shared
Listen to Tom singing Amazing Grace with a Welsh male voice choir. TrueType humbling to listen to
I believe he was. 27
❤️ your reaction to the best male singer ever after my opinion 👍😊, hope your next one is the best female singer ever after my opinion. Angelina Jordan 👍😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

How nice to see a reaction video by someone who might be within a decade of my own age! Almost all the others reacting to this song (and other old music) are very young, and I'm not sure if I trust some of their enthusiastic reactions. When I was that age, I thought the music my parents listened to pretty much sucked. I wouldn't develop an appreciation for some of it until I got older.

As a slightly younger taff - we have a few good ones Dame Shirley Bassey has a few belters. Good work. x
The pauses are fine - with the backups :)
You don't "step on" key parts as many do.
daXmusiX: I watched your reaction again. If someone were to take an overview of how a Reaction should be -- yours would be a perfect example. Many women fidget with their hair, their clothes; talk to others off camera; pause the video in inappropriate places, etc. You do your homework in advance, pause when necessary, but then back up to keep continuity; and express what I consider genuine thoughts and feelings. (It also helps that your thoughts and feelings mirror mine exactly!) Even when there was no audio coming out of your lips,
I could tell you were saying "WOW". Thank you for a great reaction! (Only thing I don't like about you is you have more hair than me!)
Bill, thank you sincerely, but my friend, I don’t think I have been told that I have more hair than anybody for decades, so you made my day! 😉
I sure appreciate your comments. Reactions are not really that easy. I have to be careful about interrupting at the right times, etc., so it’s really good to get the kind of evaluation that you gave. Oh yes, and Tom Jones is a God!
A lot of great singers are from Wales
Tom Jones to me is the male version of "The Voice" Whitney Houston. Just like Whitney's voice, Tom's voice is a masterpiece.
Thanks for the warning. I held on to my panty the entire time.
LOL!!
I was ok too, Lorelei, I wasn't wearing any to start with ;)
Women wanted him ,And guys wanted to be him ,If your girl friend had a 1night stand with him ,it was ok. It was tom jones 🥳🤗
Think this was his own show? He sang with loads of other stars on it, but I think Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin gave him a run for his money. Especially Janis, you could see him realising he was going to have to make more of an effort to keep up with her. :)
Jones is a much singer than Elvis. No contest. Jones is crying at 5:49 because the women haven't started throwing their panties.
While he spent 2 yrs in bed God ha a plan for him. LOOK AT HIM NOW. THANK YOU JESUS
If u like Tom or Pitt, u r not gay.
U r just sane.
I'd love for you to react to Ronnie Dove.
You said “almost like Pavarotti.” Well, here they are together: ruclips.net/video/1fpT6ERcH38/видео.html
