I understand that he was born in 1940 (which makes him 70!) and that he is basically a Man-Whore. I understand that most people my age probably don't find him as awesome as I do (or really even know who he is). I bet most people don't search for videos on YouTube of Tom Jones. I bet most people don't have 4 songs on their phone of Tom Jones (as awesome homemade ring tones!) and a super fun collection of Tom Jones songs on their IPod. And 4 Cds... I get that I'm different.
But do I care? Not one teeny tiny bit. Check out this beefy hunk of Tom Jones that I discovered on the internet today...
Yep... Totally hot. :) Notice his pretty green eyes and dark hair? Remind you of another man in my life? :) I think I have a type.But it's not just Tom's totally handsome face that I love... Not at all. I love his voice. I love - love - LOVE! the power he has when he sings. He has an AMAZING voice. It's strong and full of emotion and just ***TOM*** It's so great, I can't even explain.
If you know who Tom Jones is, first off, good for you. If not, here are a few of his songs...
What's New Pussy Cat
Deliliah
She's a Lady
It's Not Unusual
Sex Bomb
Deliliah
She's a Lady
It's Not Unusual
Sex Bomb
Recognize any of those masterpieces? :) I have to admit, though, I prefer some of his remakes of OTHER people's music... Unchained Melody? Love it. Kiss? Can't get much better. But my favorite example of his voice is when he preforms a cover of "Burning Down the House" with the Cardigans... I LOVE that song. I really liked the original, but that song... It's my favorite cover of any song. Ever. He sounds like he's having a great time and upbeat and just strong. Yeah, it's that good. :)
I can't find the actual video that was done for the song. (BOO!) and while the fan video is good, it's just not enough Tom. So I give you a 'live' version that has the awesome song I like, but Tom is lip syncing... Still Tom. Still great song... I hope you enjoy. :)
