I'm not sure if people so much as say that Buffy was the first, rather than it simply being /their/ first, and/or the most well done/the exception they're willing to make, give or take.
Like tbph, I remember pretty much nothing from the musical Buffy episode. (Giles at a mic is all that comes to mind) I wouldn't knock it for that reason though either, (as I have a terrible memory to start with) if for no other reason than I wouldn't be able to pinpoint exactly /which/ musical episode was my first and/or which impacted me the most.

Xena though I /loved/! There was a couple of weird-ass AUs near the end, but the musical episodes always stood out as they actually put to work and incorporated their characters and their personalities as part of the story along with the song and dance routines.

Whedon fans think Buffy did it first, or only Buffy did it well. Because they have an agenda to push, or a shallow reference pool to draw on. Whedon fans. And I think we can all agree what their opinion is worth these days.

i think a lot of people who aren't whedon fans think buffy may have been the first to gain particular prominence; that while xena may have come before it these days the only people who particularly care about that are xena fans and devotees of musical or tv trivia and minutia; and that there were things buffy did that xena didn't (in particular having the entire cast sing - at least two characters in xena were dubbed)

but you clearly have your agenda to push as well so

This. Yeah, Whedon sucks as a person, but the disingenuousness of generalizing all the fans of his work as stans who excuse everything he’s done and act like his work is perfect is obvious.

Giles with a mic did not come from the musical episode. That scene was part of the S4 finale 'Restless'.
