I’m so jealous that this is limited to UK fans.

Be more jealous if the concept is he appears on the show and the winner gets…? (Hmmm.. dinner w/TJ, or gets to follow him around for the day, or a signed copy of the new CD.)

Now I’m jealous!!

Quick…somebody contact Simom Cowell and tell him to develope a US version of the show. There would be a sea of TJ fans. lol

I think Simon and Tom don’t get along. That’s why he hasn’t been on Idol. Which is a good thing. Management would have him singing Delilah, It’s Not Unusual etc. Remember not so long ago, Dancing with the Stars? Agh! The opportunity to reach millions of new folks and they have him (AND HE AGREES) to sing old stuff. Those who have known him would have said, “Oh, he’s still around singing those hits?” What a waste of a good opportunity. Hopefully, whatever is planned and agreed to for this upcoming show will feature/showcase NEW material.

He was awesome on Dancing with Stars…old or new…we take him anytime and anyway we can get him!

I’m not sure his best fans are obviously located in Great Britain or America !!
Believe me, my love for Tom is as huge as the huge frustration I have from not seeing him.

Shall I go for it
I think there are bigger fans than me though. Paula should go for it!
