tom considering who he is, is not egotistic, but he is ferocious in his passion for music. when he gets good chemistry with interesting people magic happens. hes a true creative artist and thrives on the passion ....ive got loads of his old shows, he was such a generous performer too , all his duets were world class too, the man is/was a magnificent force of nature and oozes passion intensity and warmth from every pore. irreplacable |
haha, i'm liking your analogy regarding the 'roaring fire', i guess that's true to a degree.
Still, i disagree with the general consensus of your post, i guess at the end of the day it's all subjective, we all look for different factors in deciding what best pleases us, Tom just misses a fair few for me when it comes to coaching on a tv talent show. The BBC are obviously looking for different artists to appeal to various age groups, I just don;t feel they have it right with Tom. Off the top of my head i'd say Annie Lennox could be a decent addition, smart, articulate and fiery when need be. Not sure she is the type to accept this sort of role though, but then again i'd probably have had said the same before Tom was appointed.
