Nobody saw it coming — but the moment Sir Tom Jones stood up, the entire room erupted. When you hear the name “Tom Jones,” one song instantly echoes in your mind — the timeless 1965 hit “It’s Not Unusual.” It’s the anthem fans can’t get enough of, and during a thrilling moment on The Voice UK, the audience made it clear: they weren’t going to let the legend stay seated. After a bit of playful coaxing, Sir Tom rose from his judge’s chair — and the second he hit that first note, the room exploded with energy. What followed wasn’t just a performance — it was a reminder that greatness never fades
That’s `precisely what the audience of The Voice UK wanted to hear from Tom. But it took some convincing for him to leave behind his role of judge and step into the role of performer.
Tom replies with an appreciative “yah!” but doesn’t take the hint to start singing. Then the crowd starts chanting his name and clapping. When the band finally begins the first few rifts of the song, he cannot ignore the situation any longer. It was a flash mob of requests.
Modestly he starts, but soon he is into the swing of things. He starts clapping, stands up and belts out the signature song with all of the enthusiasm of yesteryear.
“It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone. It’s not unusual to have fun with anyone. But when I see you hanging about with anyone it’s not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die. It’s not unusual to go out at any time. But when I see you out and about it’s such a crime. If you should ever want to be loved by anyone. It’s not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say. You’ll find it happens all the time. Love will never do what you want it to. Why can’t this crazy love be mine?”
In the end, the audience goes wild when he adds a few flourishing moves which makes the crowd go wild! Ah, this is the music I remember so well. God Bless Tom Jones he, like this song you’re about to hear, are both true classics.
I think it’s funny when celebrities get starstruck… I love the look on Jennifer Hudson’s face when the music starts and at 1:15. These are the moments that make The Voice so wonderful to watch.
