WENDY JAMES: LONDON'S BRILLIANT

[Sonofspam1972]

sounds like blondie

[Schurtburg]

MCA still should have released the tvv little magnets album in the uk it was as good as pop art.. If they had maybe Wendy wouldn't have slipped into this mess. Nuff said.

[SymonDymond]

I loved transvision vamp since I was young (although I am the same age as wendy) but she radiates something even if the less awesome songs like this. I love the patriotism in this song. I doubt it would get many fans now, eastern europeans and muslims are not massive (even jungalist) on English sentimentality

[MoviesYourWay]

I live in London and somehow I'm not impressed with the song. However:

London is brilliant when it's raining

Everyone's moaning and complaining!

That much is true!

[bunnyhead71]

WRONG!!! Elvis Costello wrote every track on this album...and it's all killer..

[aza89]

Clit Cty Fuckers

London's Burning

Clash Rip OFF

[PyroTechnicalnsanity]

@aza89 hence the line "still digging up the bones of strummer and jones"

[peterblack62]

a soft mix of the clash stuff - london's burning and clash city rockers, huh ??

[newfielad]

@peterblack62 elton john wrote these songs for her first solo album

[SuperLollylegs]

shite.

[bruce4925]

all of you who said you didn't like it, you're twats. Wendy you've still got it and always will!!! Don't give it anything up,you're still the sexest singer ever and your voice is getting better every time i hear it.

[beenthereb4somany]

give it up wendy - what a big load of crap. knew u in ladbroke grove - shit then, shit now. no wonder tvv didn't make it. cocaine addict huh ! and you were so anti drugs - guess they get you in the end.

[beenthereb4somany]

Give it up Wendy. This really is a big load of crap. Knew u in ladbroke grove. full of shit then and full of shit now. no wonder TVV didn't make it. cocaine addict huh. u were so anti drugs - guess they get to you in the end.

[riverstonerodnresto]

fuck london Wendy come and live in Sydney, your hot

[westendgla]

not loving this song. a bit contrived and very unoriginal. she looks really skinny too.

[Raccee]

Wendy James Is The Queen Of Cocaine in 2010..

See D R Y B A B Y's sites.

[munrose56]

@RacceeDrybaby Google 'DRYBABY IS A DIRTY SOD WITH PIGS'.

Apparently he is an Alexithymic. Sociopath suffering from Histrionic Personality Disorder according to Dr M Strout a leading Psychologist with a real Ph.D.

Can't argue with that !

[Raccee]

@munrose56

and you wrote about "fine Irish songs" on another You Tube video didn't ya..?

Mask slipping..?

Can't argue with that !

Keep it up though.

Publicity for DryBaby is never wasted.

Can't say the same for Munrose56 thought.

Hardly any mention of you on Google these days.

Unless it's piggybacking off DryBaby.

Still better than nothing innit..?

[Raccee]

@munrose56 Oh I'm sure You Tube will get around to removing this like the others eventually but while it remains just think on...Munrose56 is gone.DryBaby isn't.

[PAULLONDEN]

Intention might've been good, but this is cliché city.....

[alSation81]

Dying to hear the song "This Ain't a Test" again ... its been years.

[Rudeawakening333]

Great lady!

But after Transvision Vamp she was never succesfull, she should reform Transvision Vamp

[LOLOfandoly]

fuck wendy james !! these crazy junkie unmake the band just only for egoismus !! she wanted be the new madonna !! she fucked to transvision vamp and to all the fans !! millions of fans !! her solo album was a disgust and right now is a DJ and a singer of a little indie band called racine.

she is a crazy,junkie and adicct to the stetic cirugy !! she have 45 years and like 65 !!

fuck her !!

[TheTitanFind]

Fuck you too!

[PAULLONDEN]

@LOLOfandoly

Ant you shoult lurn to spel,and get some "stetic cirurgy"....too.

[targetrich]

yeah, she's fit, but to be honest, I've more talent in my penis.

Mind you, I have a very talented penis.

[SadisticFella]

And it's talent is..... naturally evading your eyesight.

[targetrich]

It's true, I do have a very talented penis.

Perhaps I should have said you've more talent in witty comebacks.

[bigttim1]

she wouldn't shit for a month if i got my way with her

[kentonlarsen]

Love the London's Burning riff - and the reference to "Strummer and Jones."

Intelligence borrows, genius steals!

[aristroids]

Didn't know she's back. thanks for the video. sound still very her.. still pretty. i always wanted to be her when i was 16

[ymor]

What's up with that sh***y song?

[superstoogeburger]

...Always loved Wendy. Hot, smart, and made a good fuckin' go of it in the rock industry...Endeared to my heart as a musician and a chick...

[drewdle1973]

I used to love this song but listening again it really is quite shit

[mercurycid]

Wendy is just hot

[RandallJonesey]

Wendy was really a beauty. Unfortunally she has lately shown the poor judgement of having herself be undergoing some facial plastic jobs; i.e. letting some surgeon destroying her lips. A waste...

[riles5446]

you can tell Costello wrote this, because it doesn't make sense untill you listen to it the fourth time

[rattymuvvers]

elvis costello wrotw this song, as did he most the album this is from.

[sfakianos82]

And i wanna move the town to the clash city

rockers

You need a little jump of electrical shockers

You better leave town if you only wanna knock us

Nothing stands the pressure of the CLASH city rockers

plus London's burning

hahahaha

very pretty girl though

[soiyamoto]

wendy is a darling, not up there with debbie harry but i love her anyway

[MrGRBalls]

this woman is an icon - edalsk i agree with ur comment, one of the greatest underrated albums of the 90s. seen her in concert in Dublin this year with her new band Racine ... and she still kicks ass in her early 40s! wendy is fab.end of.

[brf0207pod]

Digging up the bones of Strummer & Jones.....

Good girl....come back and upset the puritains and put a smile back on our faces

[salvadorsalvona]

she ripped this off from "clash city rockers"!

[markkreutzer]

SHe did not rip this off, Elvis Costello did the album and gifted it to her to try an drestart her career. It failed. I recommend you try out Tori Amos' new CD.

[bigaussie68]

hahaha yeah just noticed that right after "he couldn't raise a spark in the dark in hyde park" lol

[Ethergirl]

Afriend of mine told me about this album just last evening, since I like Elvis Costello a lot.I had never heard of the album, or Wendy before. Apparently she had written to him that she wasn't happy with her career/band, even though they were successful. He proceeded to write a whole album worth of songs for her in a short period of time, and sent it to her. This is nice, but not exactly what I'm used to from Elvis Costello.

[WolvoExPunk]

Did she pay the Clash any royalties for this music? Well, at least she's prettier than them. I had many great times in London in the 80s and 90s. Wouldn't touch the poxy place with a bargepole, now.

[edalsk]

"Every night before I close my eyes,

I say a prayer to my desires,

Hung up on a poster on the wall,

Don't let me grow up to fail and fall.

(If I must grow up at all)

Genius stuff and perfectly performed.

This is from an album called "Now ait't the time for your tears" and it one of THE great lost albums.

All songs written by Elvis Costello and performed by Ms James.

Can anybody beat a line like "She danced like an ambulance"?

I doubt it.

[edalsk]

FYI (Ya ignorant fuckwits) This album was put out in the late eighties/ early nineties and all the songs on it were written by one Declan Mc Manus othewise known as Elvis Costello

[lilshortae]

wow she looks all grown up there lol i luv her she rocks

[davidjbreeze]

...truly appalling, does anyone know what year this is from? If only she'd quit while she was ahead. Please stop now Wendy enough's enough...

[hafstrat]

THIS IS PANTS....

[pgahiwatt]

who do you think strummer and jones are,you fuckwhitt!

[jackyramone9]

wendy, i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlackStonesNana]

she's gorgeous

[legios71]

Te vagy a legjobb

[MadAboutJohnnyH]

thanks for your comments..does anybody know if there is a video made for her song/single Do YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING ???

[Residentlistener]

Yes - there is a video , Wendy is wearing a dark trousersuit and singing on a stage in an empty nightclub.

[Shiny317]

Yes there is a video for Do You Know What I'm Saying, and it'll have the same header of the CD single as London's Brilliant, stating 3rd solo, like 2nd solo for London's Brilliant. I know coz I made them lol. Is fine it's being shared and enjoyed though. Check my channel, all the Wendy Solos are there

[thebloodbaby]

@MadAboutJohnnyH YES

[silverdancinghorses]

Oh Wendy Just Sit on my face all day and all of the night

CLIT CITY FLICKERS

[silverdancinghorses]

oh wendy just sit on my face

Clit City Flickers

[scabzine]

She is the best looking girl and loves the Clash!!! Be my wife!!!

[Habibasse]

In which album is this song ? Is it in nameless one or in now ain't the time for your tears ? I've never been a big fan of Wendy James, but maybe I'll become one someday ! Was this song influenced by Clash City Rockers from the Clash ???

[ttam2307]

from her solo album Now Ain't the Time for Your Tears written by Elvis Costello

[geoalley]

Never seen this thank you!

[visualowl]

Long time Wendy fan here..

Loved her in TV.. solo and now Racine!! Wooohoooo...
