It's always fun to watch Lucy and Renee interact. It always seems that Lucy takes the lead in the beginning and then as Renee warms up she suddenly takes over the conversation and Lucy just seems to sit back and enjoy. I also like how horrified Lucy was over Ren's tale of road rage - now Renee knows why her momma taught her good manners and always to be a lady (I assume her momma taught her that since she had a southern up bringing) because there a re nut cases out there who will kill you for the sightest insult (you know Agatha Christy once wrote that all murders begin with an insult). Lucy was also quit shocked that some actress was rude to Ren at the Emmys - I think Lucy finds any kind of rudeness or nastiness quite shocking which is such an endearing trait. I also loved Lucy's taste in music "You Don't Own Me" is also one my favorite pieces. I loved the two gals very different reactions to the piece Lucy sang along and Ren began to dance - very much in character. > > I always thought Lucy had a nice voice, but she has deinitely taken it > up a notch.

Yeah she said she was taking lessons and I think it shows. Her done is darker and the register lower maybe because she projecting better. I too would love a CD especially if you could get a track with Lucy sining "Love Changes Everything". Perhaps some of the proceeds could be donated to charity. Any I haven't seen all of this segment yet nor have watched the rest of the disk. By the way I loved the bumper sticker (where in the world did Lucy find the Bush toilet paper I know some people who love that as a Christmas present). CherylA > > I also enjoyed the raw footage.
