i think it's a pity tom wasn't offered the eurovision gig : i think tom still looks and sounds good and might have been in with a good chance of winning it.
no offence to engelbert but mr humperdinck is past his prime and looks it.
engelbert's voice sounded very croaky too when he was asked to sing on a radio news bulletin without studio assistance
