What happens when you pair the silky, baritone voice of musical legend Tom Jones with the dynamic range of Helene Fischer? The answer: a magical duet that proves that Tom Jones still ‘has it’, and that also has the power to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand. This dynamic duet rocked the Helene Fischer Show in 2020, where Fischer and the iconic Welsh singer came together to perform a sultry edition of Tom Jones’ hit “Sexbomb”.
On top of a powerful joint performance, the duo was backed by a full band and a deeply atmospheric light show that helped create an intoxicating environment. This was sure to leave a lasting impression on both the show’s audience and the whole Internet. Words can only describe such a performance so much, so you can watch it in all its glory for yourself in the video below:
Many commenters on social media were expressing their love for Tom Jones’ impressive range and vocal strength following his performance, but there was also a lot of love given to Helene Fischer. “OMG, I’ve never heard of this woman before. But here I am, now a fan. That voice knocked me out,” one fan said. It’s easy to see why! From this performance, it’s clear that Helene Fischer is an incredible talent, which is reflected in a very impressive 15 million record sales career-wide.
Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, otherwise known as Tom Jones, is quite possibly the biggest modern name to come out of Wales. His signature baritone voice topped the charts when his music arrived in the 1960s, and he has been both a loved musician and a heartthrob ever since. He regularly tours the world and America, and he has created some of the world’s most cherished love songs. His track “She’s A Lady” became an instant hit and rocked the world when it was released.
Tom Jones is not just a musician at heart; he has also dipped into the world of film several times over the course of his career. He made his debut in 1979’s Pleasure Cove, but he is most likely known for his comedic cameo in the popular 1996 black comedy movie Mars Attacks! from Tim Burton. Outside of film, he is also a vocal coach on the talent show The Voice UK.
