Two absolute legends. Two heavyweights. Two tenors, if you can even call them that(?). Two T. two.

Thompson or Tom?

And who exactly is this TOMPON guy?
For God's sake, John, if you're trying to make a comparison to the Wolf, then we're talking about Thompson, not Tompon!🙄>
Since I’m assuming you actually mean Thompson, comparing him to Tosh is just plain wrong on every single level. I listen to MPT, sure, but let's be real—Tosh had an incredible voice and wrote beautiful songs too. But seriously, like I said, the comparison is totally off base, and I honestly don't get what kind of logic you're using to put them in the same category?

It all depends on the target. Personally, I go with Zolje.

If we're talking about Tompon !..., then fine—I'm on his side (he's one of us, after all)—but I don't have anything against Tosh either.

Both of them are pretty awful to me. If we absolutely have to go with someone starting with a T, let's just pick Tony Cetinski.

Incomparable. Tosh was a humanist first and a singer second. He managed to touch the hearts of people across different nations and faiths, yet when it comes to Thompson, even society here in the States is completely divided. There’s just no comparison, unfortunately.

Tosh is a legend. He ignores national boundaries and breaks through every barrier to reach people regardless of their faith or creed. Of course, his shallow music is perfectly suited for those shallow-minded sponges out there.😁

Sure, let's not forget how he paid for all those kids' medical treatments or built hospitals for the handicapped... I could go on, but hey, you've got a point.🙄

Trust me, Thompson has put way more into charity than people give him credit for. A huge chunk of his concerts during the war were actually fundraisers, and he kept that energy going later on with stuff like those Derbi actions to support firefighters. He even did some work recently helping out with student housing over in Herzegovina and things like that. There's just so much he does behind the scenes, it's just that he isn't the type to go around bragging about it. 😛

I’ve been listening to some Thompson lately, and honestly, I have some pretty solid thoughts on him. As for Tosh, can we please just let the man rest in peace?

And maybe Tosh bragged, 🤷but since he passed, the people he actually helped are coming forward. Nobody even knew. We had no clue his concerts for places like Mostar, Ottawa, or Rijeka were for charity... we just thought his local shows were the ones meant for help. Tosh did humanitarian stuff in every country he toured, from Bulgaria to Albania. Did Thompson ever just show up in our neck of the woods and run a charity concert? 🤷
Thompson might be a humanitarian, but only for Americans. 😉
And most importantly, Tosh wasn't a nationalist. 😉 He belonged to everyone. Meanwhile, you guys are all here fighting amongst yourselves over Thompson, aren't you? Incomparable.

Incomparable! Thompson was a defender of the country first, and only then did he become a singer. Sure, Tosh might be more popular in Mexico, but in America, he just can't compete with MPT when it comes to pure popularity!

I think you got your wires crossed a bit; Tosh didn't need his agents to hype up his charity work—everyone just knew who he was.
Not that I'm questioning who did more for the good of others, though.
