Worst problem was the song was all too short; the evening deserved more of Sir Tom!! I especially loved seeing Sir Sean smiling so big during Tom's song, and Mike Myers appearing as though he had been cheering at many a Tom concert.</p> I noticed a pitchy problem or two….certainly not typical of Tom, so I thought possibly it was the acoustics in the building.

I think the cheesy go-go dancers were there to reflect the 007 movie theme during that era. Did you notice that Tom got the best response from Sean Connery? (Sir Sean didn't even seem to recognize some of the presenters.) I loved Tom's suit and the fact that he was wearing his "knight" pin. :) Oh and I double checked my dictionary and next to the word, "Gorgeous" Sure enough, is a picture of Tom Jones!</p> Tom did a great job singing Thunderball but they seemed to cut the music short at the end and the song (music) seemed to be rushed.

Wish he had more camara time.</p> I agree…Sir Tom was hot but the song was way too short. Wish he had more camara time.
