I definitely understand why Tom would do the show. Not only might he sell more CD’s but he also might inspire more young fans.

But, if interviews like these help sell his CDs, then that's just fine.

Second, I don’t think it’s a matter of respect of Tom Jones, they were just trying to be cute and edgy…..and failing miserably. But, if interviews like these help sell his CDs, then that’s just fine. Right?

Especially his. You are right about him looking exasperated. I would have been too! Oh and by the way, I'm from Canada and have no idea what French Canadian Post Rock (correct me if I'm wrong)is. It was the young woman who asked the question so I have to believe that it really is some form of music. Anyone know what it is? I finally got around to listening to the<em> Colin and Edith Show</em> and enjoyed listening to that so much more. This was the show I was wondering about. The one with the contest for best question. These interviewers respected Tom as a person and a performer ... or at least it sounded that way ... It may be gone now but it was worth a listen. I would have rather watched these two interviewers then the other two!!</p> My daughter is 15 and would have been disgusted with their antics. Especially his.

I say R-E-S-P-E-C-T would have earned them a bit longer time in the future. Perhaps they appeal to the younger crowd.....like 15 or so??</p> It would be a joke to predict those two radio hosts would be in the business much longer than the average songster of today with no talent.

It was these two babies showing off. He looks at tad exasperated at their nonsense and he should be. But it was great that he corrected them about the number of records. Just a stupid waste of time.....guess if you want to sell, you've got to present the product. As mharding said, he did really well. Wonder where those presenters will be in 41 years?

On the TV interview, he mentions only the nose job, while in the <em>Daily Mirror </em>a couple weeks back, he mentioned a few nips and tucks. I'm starting to think the <em>Daily Mirror</em> made it up since it's really a tabloid kind of magazine. Who knows??

Tom can put up with any age interviewer, can't he?? It seems like I am in another world when I hear radio interviewers asking questions about terms I have never heard. Wondered if the two interviewers were trying to trip him up.</p> Thanks to mHarding/Moderators, loved being able to watch the video interview. Tom can put up with any age interviewer, can’t he??

It’s a bit different to the tv version as it includes Tom discussing his lack of plastic surgery.

Bye!

p.s.

The two presenters fool about with everyone. It’s just their style.
