His reaction afterwards where he was jumping up and down in a very English way (i.e. restrained) was a cute moment. Weird that this wasn't shown in the US.
Ditto, dude. It was a shame that he didn't make it. An absolute shame. Singers like him are a good reason for AI going back to a Final 30 in the stead of a Final 24
Damn, he was good, here's one good reason why American Idol should go back to having a Final 32 instead of a Final 24 because it means far less people lose the chance to try the show again.
As I recall they were really strict about remembering the lyrics. They cut a lot of people based just on them forgetting the words during groups, he could have been one of them.
That's odd, though it makes sense, because there are several technical non-Americans that got farther than Tom: His own groupmate Rudy Cardenas was originally from Venezuela, Sway Penala from last season was from the Philippines and I think so was A.J. Tabaldo from this season. It was still a crime that he didn't make it.
Tom, good PR you have, I suppose they got my e-mail via a promoter or a dj or something anyhow, checked out your video, great voice, very nice tone, clear vocals, very nice, let me know how it goes, I am a versitile singer/songwriter ...but prefer songwriting...good luck with your future, will look out for you on AI
I used to cut Tom Lowe's ex-boyfriend's hair. He was a French guy and he told me that Tom always promised to buy him a Cadillac if he ever "made it". Apparently, Tom fulfilled that promise in 2012.
BenL I looked for videos of Tom Lowe and his former band, North and South, but none of them are shown on RUclips. The only thing that came out was an English movie that came out with that same title. Do you know where else I can look for videos of Tom? I already have a video of him singing the "Star Spangled Banner".
Is he the guy who plays Marius in the Les Mis videos on here of London in 1999? bc if he is he is actually my favourite Marius, so I have absolutely no idea why he auditioned for American Idol...
If America had number 1 place at the world's singing competition it would of been world's greatest talent show lol, but they barelly made it to 10th spot..hehe
He has a pretty good voice- but then Simon said that about Sundance when he auditioned too. LOL. I imagine he was one who had a good audition but then didn't pan out in Hollywood. Funny was when Randy pointed out that he left England to pursue a career rather then trying out for an English show, ha.
Clay Aiken used this song as his audition as well, right?? I think this guy did better. He doesn't cut his words short, so very well controlled. Where the HELL is this guy?!?!
Well they disqualified him for having connections with Simon. They did it in time before he made the top 36. On the other hand Joanna Pacitti got thru to top 36 despite having connections with Kara and 19 Entertainment. Then they disqualify her for more controversy and drama.
can't believe he got knocked out at hollywood - he's GOOD, and the fact he's british would've given a nice 'spin' on it. shame. very hot too btw - VERY HOT
This is not world idol, it is American Idol. What is so hard to understand? AMERICAN Idol. He stated himself the reason to come here and enroll in college was the sole purpose of being able to audition for idol. Who knows maybe you have to live in this country a certain amount of time before you can audition. It doesnt matter anyway. The people will not vote him in.
it wasnt really a singing boyband. he didnt sing in north and south. damn good tv show though. you people should check them out, they were fabulous. he was the guitarist or something
They only showed him at the very end for about 1/2 a second in the US (jumping out the audition room doors holding his yellow Hollywood paper). It's a shame they had to waste so much time degrading people in the US edited version that they didn't have time to show someone who the contest is SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT---FINDING A SINGER!!
north and south were fuckin amazing though. i cant believe tehy only had one no7 hit here, they were huge, everyone loved them, he wasnt really a singer in them though he played keys or something...
eeeee this makes me smile someone from my home town on american idol ^__^ ! i used to love north and south when i was about 10 lol its a shame he's turned out to be gay i've always thought he was quite hot
Simon knows nothing about American music (the home of soul and rock and roll)...so of course he doesn't get Taylor. BTW...thanks for sending the Spice Girls over...what a treat for us. Simon doesn't know soul...he doesn't even have one. I've seen your british talent shows and our top ten would blow any of them out of the water. There's no point in a Brit being on AI unless he came here to permanently be an American, not just to try out. He still sounds boy band.
@ShavenTroll people still make a big deal about people being gay not becuz its sumthing new 2 us but becuz god didnt make man for man he made man for women..so ppl who are against tht and are christians and believe in god are gonna have a problem with that...now they dnt have 2 be harsh about it but then can be uncomfortable with it..
They should have kept him in the first place but now that their top 12 boys have been an utter disaster it seems like a stupid move on their part. He's way better than the current top 12 guys, it just shows you that AI is a total sham they don't pick the best people at all and that was really obvious last year with Taylor Hicks being on Idol. This show isn't a singing competition it's a farce.
Tom Lowe is amazing. He should have been featured on tv during the seattle episode. He should make the top 12.
i met tom lowe!
he sang to me.
i absolutly love this guy (:
he is the sweetest person youu will everrrr meet
My god, why don't I remember this guy?!?! I'm a complete Idol junkie but this didn't even look familiar. Amazing!
His reaction afterwards where he was jumping up and down in a very English way (i.e. restrained) was a cute moment. Weird that this wasn't shown in the US.
I saw him in Les Miz at the Hollywood Bowl as Enjolras. He was fantastic. I so didn't know he was on Idol. He has a fantastic voice.
I used to love him in North & South, they were all over my wall wen i was 15 lol bless him xx
Tom Lowe is the best thing to happen to American Idol.
Tom was Marius On the West End for a couple of years. IMHO he was one of the best Marius' that ever was.
Check him out on youtube under "Tom Lucas "
Oh, great! Awesome! Thanks for the info, BenL2005. :)
wow that was excellent
Tom Lowe makes me wanna melt!!!:D:P Are there anymore videos where I can see him? :D
omg this guy was in "No Sweat" !! na na na na na na ooooo no sweat!
Ditto, dude. It was a shame that he didn't make it. An absolute shame. Singers like him are a good reason for AI going back to a Final 30 in the stead of a Final 24
They only aired his performance in the British airing of the episode and not in America. :(
He nailed it....this guy is a legend! All his friends from Leeds love him!! Beat the Yanks dude!
the whole, america vs england thing was awesome
Tom, you totally ROCK!!
Damn, he was good, here's one good reason why American Idol should go back to having a Final 32 instead of a Final 24 because it means far less people lose the chance to try the show again.
"Simon should have signed your boyband!"
i miss north and south :( when tom wins, bring them back simon :D
As I recall they were really strict about remembering the lyrics. They cut a lot of people based just on them forgetting the words during groups, he could have been one of them.
That's odd, though it makes sense, because there are several technical non-Americans that got farther than Tom: His own groupmate Rudy Cardenas was originally from Venezuela, Sway Penala from last season was from the Philippines and I think so was A.J. Tabaldo from this season. It was still a crime that he didn't make it.
They should have shown this instead of the usual bad auditions last year.
Tom, good PR you have, I suppose they got my e-mail via a promoter or a dj or something anyhow, checked out your video, great voice, very nice tone, clear vocals, very nice, let me know how it goes, I am a versitile singer/songwriter ...but prefer songwriting...good luck with your future, will look out for you on AI
Yes, that's Tom!
Hot and a great voice, what happened to him 🤷♂️
LOVE HIM!
This guy is amazing :D

where is this guyy now ..
he does alot of traveling,i think he's in Egypt at the moment. he's on my Facebook so i kinda know what he's up to
in the words of Jessica Simpson 'Boy I think that I'm in love with you"
He should have gone through and he should have won American Idol as an Englishman!
the way he says "travel host"...
He shouts his high notes.
Wow! He's a cutie!
@MaxwellHammer05
why you say that? what made you come to that conclusion?
Is he the guy who plays Marius in the Les Mis videos on here of London in 1999? bc if he is he is actually my favourite Marius, so I have absolutely no idea why he auditioned for American Idol...
I loved this audition, he should've gone further than he did.
If America had number 1 place at the world's singing competition it would of been world's greatest talent show lol, but they barelly made it to 10th spot..hehe
He has a pretty good voice- but then Simon said that about Sundance when he auditioned too. LOL. I imagine he was one who had a good audition but then didn't pan out in Hollywood. Funny was when Randy pointed out that he left England to pursue a career rather then trying out for an English show, ha.
he has a deep voice!
oh my god, he can sing to men anytime
he definitely should've made it that yr. why on earth was sanjaya in the top12?
waht are you guys talking about? the guy's hot and he sings really well!!! why didn't they let him in??
oh my goodness such robbery he is amazing bolux lol love you Tom
Clay Aiken used this song as his audition as well, right?? I think this guy did better. He doesn't cut his words short, so very well controlled. Where the HELL is this guy?!?!
Well they disqualified him for having connections with Simon. They did it in time before he made the top 36. On the other hand Joanna Pacitti got thru to top 36 despite having connections with Kara and 19 Entertainment. Then they disqualify her for more controversy and drama.
North and South massive
can't believe he got knocked out at hollywood - he's GOOD, and the fact he's british would've given a nice 'spin' on it. shame. very hot too btw - VERY HOT

Who knows maybe you have to live in this country a certain amount of time before you can audition. It doesnt matter anyway. The people will not vote him in.
He should return to London and go back to the west end! Awsome in Les Mis and Cats!!!
what is no sweat?
it wasnt really a singing boyband. he didnt sing in north and south. damn good tv show though.
you people should check them out, they were fabulous.
he was the guitarist or something
haha they censor the "COKA COLA" signs even though we all know what it is....lol
They only showed him at the very end for about 1/2 a second in the US (jumping out the audition room doors holding his yellow Hollywood paper).
It's a shame they had to waste so much time degrading people in the US edited version that they didn't have time to show someone who the contest is SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT---FINDING A SINGER!!

Gee, I don't remember seeing this audition at all.
