Sir Tom Jones Lambasted by Own Label Boss

I thought that the tracks I've heard on Tom Jones latest album are brilliant. He's done a Johnny Cash and produced a great album as he's got older. The track What Good Am I - is just real and authentic, no crap just an old man singing with feeling. It'll be a classic.

Rock on Tom.

First of all why all the hatred out there? There is no time factor when it comes to music. Frank Sinatra sang right up to his last moments and we all should pay attention to older artists because that's where the younger musicians got their ideas to start with. If you feel they don't suit your taste that's fine, but to say someone should hang it up is ridiculous. So by that way of thinking all the great rock, blues and country legends should just stop performing and not give their fans a nostalgic moment, please. How typical of small-minded people to think it's their opinion only that matters. Should the great opera singers have retired? Should B.B. King pack it in and deprive the "real" blues enthusiasts of seeing a "living legend". I think you know the answer. And if Tom Jones wants to mellow and sing some Gospel and Blues, I say right on and my advice to his detractors is "back Off" and let the world go round because one day you'll get a little older and long to hear the music of your youth. P.S There is an old saying in the music world, "If you don't like what you're hearing, change the station."

oh dear sjb don't take it so seriously. we cant all like the same singers it would be a dull world if we did. Everyone is entiteled to a opinion, and mine happens to be that i dont like his voice, end of.

so tell me are all you idiots slagging tj off for being past it telling me as soon as you hit 50 your going to stop doing things that you love i think it was the cofidas cycling team who told lance armstrong when he got cancer thats it for you your over your sacked and went on to be the greatest sports man ever and he is still going strong and still a genuine contender for le tour this year get a life if you enjoy what you do do it untill you drop

Nice guy Tom Jones, Great voice and still does it for the ladies, keep it up Tom, Mr Sharpe, why dont you go and boil your head in onion water!!

As some one just said 'what a great publicity stunt'
bet that sells more for his company and swells his coffers

TOM JONES LEGEND FACT CYMRU CYMRU

Nogov,It's embarrassing,learn to spell yourself,before criticising others.

Does it really matter whatever the album sound,. tom has been around for a longggggg time so there must be many a person that supports him. Although i have to admit he has never appealed to me, And just by the sheer fact we are all posting on here ensures he gets the coveridge he needs to re-boost his career

Freedom of choice; very important in this day and age when a certain group is trying to end such freedoms. Tom Jones is still keeping busy doing what he loves, how many of us can say that.
