I think they could have consulted him about it with more notice to be fair,they had the opportunity to,when Rita left a while back.
Rather a bad away to go about things in my view. |

Yes could be the case. I guess they wanted to let him go later so he could not join as a X Factor Judge The BBC keep saying they never confirmed he was on the next contract. Tom has a manager who could have checked it all Sack Him |

To be quite frank,if ever anyone was secure as a judge on 'The Voice',I really thought Tom Jones would have been secure until he himself decided he wanted to go.
It is a pretty bad way to treat him. |

They've treated him appallingly with the way they've sacked him, no way to treat anyone let alone a legend like Sir Tom.

Why is he an 'old fool' for speaking out about being treated so badly?
I find it quite refreshing that he has been so honest about how they treated him. He and Will were the only judges who had been there from the start and showed The Voice any loyalty so to pretty much push him out a day before they announced the judges to the public is rude, he had set time aside to do the show and possibly turned down work or personal activities. The BBC are the fools here for getting rid of him tbh.

This would have been his 5th year so I guess a precedent was set and negotiations were pretty informal, wheels must have been put in motion to get BG at some point why not tell him then? I agree his agent was naive but I guess they felt as there were no issues the arrangement would continue I think he is more annoyed at how sneaky the Beeb have been rather than actually going.

Why should he try being more humble? It's nothing to do with being humble, it's about him feeling he has been treated wrongly by something he has been committed to. Last edited by Dollface; 15-08-2015 at 03:31 PM. |

If Sir Tom Jones was an American, there would be boulevards and Streets named after him and statues erected in his honour as per Elvis.
Can you imagine if Elvis had still been with us and had been a judge on the American X Factor since its inception? Do you think that any pimply young bright producers who thought he was 'passe' would have DARED oust the King in such a similarly disgraceful and cowardly fashion? If I was Sir Tom, I would look upon this whole disgraceful incident with wry satisfaction, because time will prove that it's akin to having been forced off the Titanic just before the iceberg hit. The Voice is doomed and will be forgotten, but the true legend that is Sir Tom will live on forever. |

Surprised they got rid of Sir Tom but no that surprised when you find out how much money he was on. The voice is becoming an even bigger mess than XF.

I love the voice and I won't lie I was only interested in Will being kept on but that's not to say I agree with how Tom was fired or that I think hiring Boy George in his place was a good trade either. I like Boy George but Tom Jones is worth 2 or 3 times him in a heart beat

..I'm not sure why he's an old fool for expecting better treatment from the BBC, this is not some obscure TV channel, it's a channel that is meant to set a precedence ..or used to be..regardless of whether it was his manager's responsibility to secure his place as well in the programme, this is about their behaviour and how this was done...
...anyways, Will I Am going was already something that would take away so much for me to keep watching and now Tom as well, just not good really... |
