    In a caged death match, Tom would destroy Neil, but as for the best showman, I don't know.

        Tom Jones hands down. Not only is he a great showman but he had that role in Mars Attacks. Its a cool guy that can spoof himself in a movie like that.
        Lo there do I see my Father.
        Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
        Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
        Lo they do call me.
        They bid me take my place among them.

          I still vividly remember watching Tom Jones' TV show when I was about 3 and rockin' out with a toy microphone so I gotta go with him...

            Yeah I remember my mom setting me in front of the TV when I was about the same age and doing the same thing.

                No love for Neil? What about his appearance in Saving Silverman? Good stuff.

                  Yeah but Tom's got the popularity boost from Fresh Prince of Bel Air and The Simpsons.

                    It has to be Tom Tones...er I mean Tom Jones.
                    He's got the tight pants and the swiveling hips...
                    and that shouting / screaming voice.
                    Plus he's from Wales...unlike me


                    He is a 1970's Sex Machine

                        I've been thinking about this today after Neil popped up on my ipod in shuffle mode. You can't compare the two, really. Tom is all manly animal magnetism, but he's not the songwriter Neil is. Both are great showmen, both a little cheesey (chest hair vs. those shirts Neil wore). Neal's the better artist, but Tom Jones was kidnapped by Mr. Burns to woo Marge.

                          Neil will play Fenway Park in August and they do play Sweet Caroline every 7th inning stretch but I still gotta pick TJ. "What's new Pussycat?? Whoa A Whoa A Whoa A Whoooa Whoooa!!!

                            Neil Diamond all the way. There is a reason why he is consistently one of the top grossing concert performers every year. Tom might put on a nice Vegas style show, but Neil is busy selling out major venues.

                              Call me a Trek geek but here's how I see it .......

                              Tom Jones is cool in a Shatner way ......
                              and
                              Neil Diamond is cool in a Spock way .....
