the only thing that perturbed me about bobamdil is that He had the power to "Sing." Tolkien was alludin to something when he had all the crap about powerful music and iluvatar. Think about it. Even Luthien, a really powerful person, sang most of that which was powerful. She and Sauron had their own contest. For Bombadil to be powerful with his singing, it's possible that he's a vala. And, for another thing, the ring has no power over him, but even the most powerful have problems with it.
