Wendy James - not just a pop star but someone who was unique as a pop star and really knew what was going on. Her fashion and style were so unique then and iconic. Sad that most today just come out of drama school and don't do the apprenticeship on the pub rock circuit like we did back then.
Wendy was one of the few women capable of expressing her thoughts without the hypocrisy of showbiz, which is why she attracted the hatred of the media, the press and presenters who were more interested in her private life than in her work. And this may have jeopardised her career. But she always said, 'I prefer to make the music I like, rather than get rich doing what others like.
*sigh* Weeeendy James. Wendy Wendy Wendy. I so much want your love love love. She and Shirley Manson, my favourite rock chicks. If it weren't for them my teenage days would be a lot dry under the blankets..
I think Transvision Vamp is quite bad, but I can listen to Wendy James for hours. I don't know if she IS intelligent, but she definitely sounds intelligent :-)
@@cobell7267 I think she comes across so well in every interview. I think Transvision Vamp made some amazing music and still listen to it all these years later. Unlike a lot of people regardless of gender, she is not a narcissist but knows her own mind and worth, and is not afraid to convey this in conversation. The UK tabloid media has got a lot to answer for in its treatment of people through the decades, especially women. No doubt its hate has caused so much trauma for those on the receiving end. Tall poppy syndrome is one of the ugliest features of the English mentality.
@@eightiesmusic1984That is precisely why she left England, because she was disgusted by the fact that the media was more interested in who she was sleeping with,than in her music.
Definitely hottest chick around back then. And talks beautifully too .
Another great post. She was a huge star at the time with an amazing voice. I loved the songs.
Fantastic and rare to hear someone who is able to speak properly.
Guess your not talking about Terry Christian then

I was in the audience for the filming of this episode.
Loved the word. Remember the one with L7?
@@frustin I think L7 dropped their pants during their performance on The Word, the dirty lasses.
@@davedogge2280 yep! that's the one, at the end of the song
What a absolutely stunner was my first proper crush and the look a voice 😋😋
25 yeas ago...she knew what was going to happen with guns and knives in England
Wow, she was beautiful in the 90s
She had the power to hypnotise me! Looks, husky voice ...

Great English girl...I saw Vamp live in Poole, Dorset many moons ago.

How prophetic Miss James proved to be.
Very bright 🔆 girl xx ❤
She looks exactly like the mother of the mother of dragons 🤔
Beautiful
Very intelligent and gorgeous
Had the hots for her in the early 90’s, and her voice is epic. Interesting that she is also adopted and was interested in her family story. 👍
Real female Talent not like Adele and all that crap these days.
So what you are saying is that adel has no talent?😳
That she cant hold a tune or write her own songs?😳
Incredible 🤔
@@minatormyth Basically yes deal with it.
Adele writes her own songs & does things on her terms so why make a comparison?
@@nasskhan4543 Good point...Each to their own I suppose I just find her music bland... But she can sing.
@@TheJamie6666 As it happens Jamie I agree with you as far as not digging the music , only the fact shes very much her own person.
Wendy is gorgeous on this
Terry Christian was always a prat.
Wendy gorgeous as usual!

Well I like Wendy.

@@cobell7267 Exactly. Anyone who cannot see this is lacking in a certain amount of intelligence. It is self evident!
Wendy James just a breath of fresh air......
Starting to look like everyone else. You were distinct.
Stewart Lee has let himself go!
On a fear-spreading mission here was she ?
yeah,perhaps.
Manchester wasn't a great place in the early to mid 1990s. There was quite a lot of gun crime violence, especially around Moss Side.
What a shame, Elvis Costello wrote such crap songs for her
