Wendy James hit the nail on the head when she said "You don't sell millions of albums because you look good." She looks stunningly beautiful but the band produced some great music and she had the talent as well the looks. She also had the inteligence to articulate ideas. Despite the success they enjoyed, I do believe TV was a massively underated group.
Loved Transvision Vamp!, Wendy is so well spoken!, and seems so grounded!... A world away from the wild child image she portrays when singing!.. Gorgeous! 😊
@@briansilver6196 she understands the business and I reckon that Jonathan ross new this wasn't his perfect hour.. blatant sexism from an interviewer but she handled it with intelligence and grace... referring to my point ahead of her time.
I remember going to see Transvision Vamp at Portsmouth Guildhall when I was 16. Wendy wore tiny daisy duke shorts, denim shirt with barely a button closed and not much else. Great view as well as great tunes !
Viz features him in a comic strip, in which he cannot find a quiet spot to wank. "Jonathan Ross and his Quest for a Toss". I like to think this is how he is introduced wherever he appears!
Wossy asks if men get asked the same questions as women - then asks her if she would pose in a porn mag! Doubt he asked many boy bands that question ffs
This has opened my eyes a bit. I like a couple of transvision vamps records but to me they were just another band. But Wendy James is not only intelligent but seemingly modest & honest. Oh, did I forget to mention that she’s very attractive as well. 👍👍👍
She must be bigger than madonna because I play transvision vamp and Wendy's solo stuff all the time and hardly play madonna .Wendy James is the Queen of pop
Yes, one of those accents ( to me) that's been to public school, had a few snogs, smokes, shots of fine whisky & been close to , but never influenced by malign influences.
The producer in Ross' ear pipes up, "move her along quickly", as soon as she mentioned the Pope's money... :-) How way ahead of her time was this lady.
Entombed by her good looks.....what a shame...and Wossy being a total also ran.... Wendy James is great here....hope she is happy.. where ever she is these days..👍
Wendy James, wow, when i was 17, really fancied this lady, and intelligent to boot. Baby i don't care, i want your love, bought the singles on vinyl, love transvision vamp and still listen to them occasionally. I think she was my generation's Debbie Harry.
Fascinating. Compare this with the dynamic today: Which popstar is allowed to be so outspoken, which PR would agree to the tone of the interview? Then there's pervy Jonathan...Penthouse?!
@@tallboy12 How is it ironic? I didn’t claim that I was erudite, only that she was. Now, what’s worse; that I misspelled a word or that you misunderstood one?
@@vladimirimp It's ironic that you're obviously intelligent enough to have the word in your vocabulary and use it in the right context, but not to spell it correctly :-)
@@tallboy12 It’s too late to change your intended meaning. You specifically picked on the definition of the word erudite and said that because I’d demonstrated a lack of knowledge it was ironic.

Wossy had enough about him with attractive female guests not to do a Parkie vs Helen Mirren, only just! He lost the plot holding it all inside for so long when it came to the infamous 'Sachs-gate' but he was a midlifer trying to impress his buddy. It still seems strange to me how things totally flipped over in the 90's to this decadent era where it was all ok again. You had Vic Reeves rubbing his legs like in some ancient mating ritual or Ali G turning down the lights & cosying up - see the Gail Porter 'interview'.

Usually he is. He wreeks of establisment . I was going to say he his all blah blah blah but why,why,why . Stupid as sin . Wendy comes accross well and intelligent . Anyone would beside this EEJIT .
“Nana was there....” “Nana who?” “Nana Cherry” .... .... Me: 🤔🤔🤔 Does she mean Neneh as in Neneh Cherry and not her Grandmother🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ And to think, I watched this live back in the day🤦♂️🤣
Haha no questions about her talent or her music or touring . Her hair and play boy and who she is dating . Wow !!! The good old sexist days of pop and I fear they haven’t changed much .

Well said.
Most modern music wasn't as good as theirs!
agreed. gotta have a distinct voice
She comes across really well, I didn't expect her to be as articulate as she is
Yes, i don't know but I was surprised as well...
Never knew what an articulate and intelligent woman she is, just loved her when I was a teenager . Beautiful Legend.
Intelligent, witty, talented & stunning
Loved Transvision Vamp!, Wendy is so well spoken!, and seems so grounded!... A world away from the wild child image she portrays when singing!.. Gorgeous! 😊
What a wonderful articulate woman she is and a fabulous singer.
1988, 17 years old, driving back home from college with mates, blaring out Trash City and singing along:)
Wow loved this lass as a young un. Ross is still a knob jockey
Wendy James ran rings round that plonker......love her attitude
She's lovely and honest. Great singer and she was great in this interview.
She speaks so eloquently. Could listen to her read me the phone book.
She reminds me of Billy Idol back in the day the way she expresses herself
I like the cut of her gib, shes a confident intelligent woman ahead of her time
I love her music, first time I've seen her interviewed. I like her even more now.
Ahead of her time ? What
@@briansilver6196 she understands the business and I reckon that Jonathan ross new this wasn't his perfect hour.. blatant sexism from an interviewer but she handled it with intelligence and grace... referring to my point ahead of her time.
In which Jonathan Ross spends 7 minutes asking her about her looks. If that's an interview, I'm a banana.
I remember going to see Transvision Vamp at Portsmouth Guildhall when I was 16. Wendy wore tiny daisy duke shorts, denim shirt with barely a button closed and not much else. Great view as well as great tunes !
This must of been about 1988?
Jonathan Ross was a knob then as he is today she made him look and sound stupid ,what a very talented and smart lady

@@DrWhom Haha
You could see she was quite angry as he fished for laughs.
Wow, Wendy James is an intellectual!
Wendy did a really good job here particularly when talking about Penthouse magazine and women's rights.
What an amazing talker.

@@kevinhanson4703 exactly. Madonna in her prime, VS Wendy in her prime. I'd pick Wendy everytime. Never understood the overrated hype of Madonna. 🤷♂️
@@jameswest4692,Madonna is nothing
3rd year of high school.. 👍 Stuck between Wendy James and pining for Sarah-Jane Thompson 😍 With only The Smiths for company. Ahh.. Great times.x
😆😆😆
She proved her point by looking very unsexual and not trying to look cool, that's proper cool to me, kudos
What a gorgeous voice. Talking I mean...
Yes, one of those accents ( to me) that's been to public school, had a few snogs, smokes, shots of fine whisky & been close to , but never influenced by malign influences.
I was in total lust with her when I was a teenager.
You and me both. And about 5 million other teenage boys.
Same for grown arse men too!
I first came across her in a magazine!
@@christschinwon Dirty Boy
wendy is so cool
The producer in Ross' ear pipes up, "move her along quickly", as soon as she mentioned the Pope's money... :-) How way ahead of her time was this lady.
Yeah the truth is kept from the plebs at all costs
Transvision Vamp were and are so underrated. Great music.
Straight out hottie
Very intelligent woman
Yes she is. Jonathan Ross is somewhat out of his depth.
Top drawer rock goddess
Such an intelligent Wendy!
What a uncomfortable chair. This a terrible set for this interview.
I loved the era when female pop stars wore beautiful tight black leather gloves.
Love Transvision Vamp
Seen her perform in 87/88...I was only 17 ,she had on a pair of French knickers with a shirt tied round her waist...We were right at the front too.😍
pics or didnt happen :)
I bet you’ve used that memory a thousand times.
I saw PJ Harvey perform Dress with her chest bare before she was famous.
@@Jack-bf6hv Firmly in the bank my friend.👍
Holy shit!!
What a lovely woman.
She is so adorable - honest - traumatised - I miss her so much. A true inspiration to all women.
She's not dead.
A spectacular woman in every sense. The German model Caroline Daur looks like her, I think, quite a bit.
She's like Billy idols younger sister
seen her live in bristol ..super super hot
I bought the "Little Magnets..." album 30 years ago and this is the very first time I see and hear her in an interview. Smart lady. :)
One of the biggest rockstars in the 80’s
I would say the opposite they come and went in a flash and that’s what bubblegum pop does
Never heard of her... Must have been a British thing.
How the hell has Jonathan Ross manage to stay in TV so long? The mans a cretin.
Sacrifices. literally!
*Your second sentence answered your question.*
You all must have know Jonathan Ross was on this before you chose to watch this? Bunch of weirdos
That’s why he’s still in tv. Another no talent parasite.
He's not everyone's cup of tea. Noticed some of the A listers now avoid his show on ITV.
Entombed by her good looks.....what a shame...and Wossy being a total also ran.... Wendy James is great here....hope she is happy.. where ever she is these days..👍
On twitter.
Still performing :)
She's in the middle of making a new album called 10 and is touring UK next month till October. She's brilliant
This could be today! She was a force!
Get on it.. Wendy has a new album out now. "Queen High Straight"
If you like Wendy's voice with the Vamp's.. You will love her new album..
Shes a great man spreader. It's rare to see women sit with their legs so far apart.
Wendy James, wow, when i was 17, really fancied this lady, and intelligent to boot. Baby i don't care, i want your love, bought the singles on vinyl, love transvision vamp and still listen to them occasionally. I think she was my generation's Debbie Harry.
She's great. Not really a different generation of fans though, there wasn't much more than 10 years between the bands' peaks.
Amazing how inane and sexist Ross is.
Oh, I wish I was 12 again.
Wendy James and Michaela Strachan in one morning 😔
My heart was close to bursting x
My god i used to love her so much
How is Jonathan Ross still such a berk 30 years later.
A real life vampire gloves and all ☺
Saw them in concert at Newcastle city hall on their Velveteen tour in 89 and knicked a poster of her off the wall which adorned my Bedroom wall.
Smart AF
Some arsehole stole my Tvamp albums back in 1990 while i was in London...i was fucking gutted.
she is better than kylie any day
My heartthrob in my teens. Shame constant smoking ruined her looks
Still my biggest crush ever.
Wossy went for a bit of motor boating at the end🤣
Fascinating. Compare this with the dynamic today: Which popstar is allowed to be so outspoken, which PR would agree to the tone of the interview? Then there's pervy Jonathan...Penthouse?!
I'm glad she's ours, but if she'd been American they would have pushed her to the moon. Great lady.
what was that at the end looked so uncomfartoble
I remember my older sister loving this band and I loved Wendy's hair when I was a kid possibly why my hairs like this now 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hi Naomi you're beautiful too ! 🤗😘💖
@@jimmorrison3756 ahh thanku
Loved you wendy gorgeous xxx
She's great.
This young lady is responsible for countless teen boys going into the bathroom and running the tap.
Jonathan you are weird.
Great singer is Wendy, and a talented Lefty, the watch on the right hand 🙂

Too clever for a blonde. I would last 2 seconds and that's just from her talking
She's so erudite and interesting in this interview.
She new Joe Strummer from her local pub, so she was never too stuck-up. I saw her at a farmer's do in a big tent Oxford in the 90's. She killed it.
It's ironic that you managed to wrongly spell the word which means "...characterized by great knowledge; learned or scholarly". It's actually erudite

Wow, impressive.
she is beautiful, strange but a looker.
Well, she was. Look her up on Wiki - Mind you, time hasn't done me any favours either lol
Its just makeup ,
what a crap cheep set ,i cant stand ross?
Not sure what the answer is. I’ll go with “yes you can” 🤷🏼♂️
She did say off Kylie and dating Nick Camen. She said no, but nodded her head, which contradicted her answer.
Phwooorrrrr

Usually he is. He wreeks of establisment . I was going to say he his all blah blah blah but why,why,why . Stupid as sin . Wendy comes accross well and intelligent . Anyone would beside this EEJIT .
