OMG! I remember teh good old days when we had video tapes mailed to Europe of these things!

I had this on a copy of a copy of a copy of a VHS tape XD

we were desperate, okay? don't judge.

That’s incredible! How’d you know about the interviews ?

[-]

Tal-Star@reddit

We were in a Fan Club at the time XD

Word got out and around. The time of mailing lists...

[-]

Dino-chicken-nugg3t@reddit

Oh my goodness! I love that! I feel like you must have some stories from that time. Do you have any of your Xena stuff still?

[-]

Tal-Star@reddit

I do, I have a chakram for example (stored away, but I'd never give that up)

I uses to have a ton (I am not exaggerating probably...) of fanfiction printed out in folders (before there were laptops, you know?)

[-]

Dino-chicken-nugg3t@reddit

That’s so cool! What happened to the fanfiction?

[-]

Tal-Star@reddit

The printed paper? It went to recycling some decades ago I guess. A lot of it was Missy Good stuff... The whole Dar Roberts und Kerry Stuart cycle.

I used to have a mug and a key chain in the day, which both didn't stand the test of time and daily use.... sadly.

Lucy always comes off as very down to earth, humble, personable, and charming.

When she sings, she really acts out the song. She's basically got a fun and confident character/persona when she sings, which I think is the main thing the audience connects with. And she does hit the notes well.

Hot take: Her singing style is not quite aligned to my personal preferences. Something about the vibrato, and another thing I don't have the technical words for. But she's still a fun performer and I love that she's sung for charity fundraisers. Very cool person.

I didn’t know she could sing!! 🤩

There were multiple, multiple episodes that featured Lucy's singing, including two whole musical episodes.

Owl_Queen101@reddit

She can’t 😅I love her down bad but she can’t

Singing is a technical skill

And technically Lucy is a accomplished singer not preferring how she sings. However, doesn't mean she can't sing.

She sang often in Xena during funerals and times of lamentation.

[-]

call-lee-free@reddit

Yup! She sang the national anthem at a Detroit Redwings hockey game and had a wardrobe malfunction.

[-]

Wait...what?

freyalorelei@reddit

I had this taped off TV when it first aired!

I already knew she could sing because she sang at Marcus's funeral in The Path Not Taken, among others.

The quality is incredible! I had this on VHS in 97 and it was very grainy.

[-]

Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)

I think the uploader improve the video quality using upscaler. I need to learn how to do that too.

What an absolute treasure of a human being. More like Lucy Flawless…

[-]

IseQween@reddit

I knew I'd gotten the 5'10 and1/2" height from somewhere -- Lucy herself!

[-]

J_Patish@reddit

She’s incredible, but I have no illusions: she’s too much woman for any mortal man. Nothing less than a Ron Swanson for her!

[-]

KilanaB@reddit

Dang all leg. I love how pretty she was and still is. She knows how to sing really well too.

[-]

primal_slayer@reddit

She was born to play WW and its a shame it never happened. Xena is a great alternate though.

And she/Shannen Doherty were the only two to truly own the bangs look.

[-]

bassoontennis@reddit

Hey at least she got to be animated Wonder Woman once. She was great for that voice. But she would have been the perfect live action one.

[-]

Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)

If only Lawless managed to get her hands on WW, she would've helped redefine WW from the lack of consistent portrayal in the DC-verse. I'd love to see Lawless spin on WW, a tougher more stoic version than Lynda Carter's.

Seriously loved her in sanctuary

[-]

Tonglentoo@reddit

People, she has albums!

[-]

Melodic_War327@reddit

Don't know if she had albums then, though. But yes, she's a fantastic singer. Seems to have more of a "musical" vibe than opera that she originally wanted.

[-]

Love her!! 🥰

Don't fall off your horse, Lucy!

TheCuri0usWatcher@reddit

I dont know why, but she looks like Wonder Woman undercover here more than Xena lol. This is my first interview seeing her with black hair! She always has her brown hair or brown hair with highlights. The armor with black hair is really what sells Xena! But she does look more like Wonder woman here than any other Wonder Woman I've ever witnessed 🤣🥹. Could you imagine her as both? 🤩

[-]

Latte-Catte@reddit (OP)

Will upload Renee's interview tmr.
