No Britney-style worries about teen sexuality for Willa Ford--she's already made that headlong leap with her first single, "I Wanna Be Bad," a self-explanatory foray into the realms of wild childhood that simultaneously titillates and stakes the singer's claim to Spears's faux-bad girl territory. The inside biker chick picture is highly likely to grace not a few teen lockers and bedrooms, too.
Though its fairly obvious which songs matter here--the aforementioned "I Wanna Be Bad," the sassy "Did Ya' Understand That," and the slow-burning "Tender"--the rest of WILLA WAS HERE is equally easy on the ear. Ford's debut follows the contemporary pop/R&B-based template to the letter, but the vocal arrangements, apparently mostly by the singer herself, are always engaging, particularly on the pleading, classical-inflected "Don't You Wish." There's a nice Eurythmics quote on "Somebody Take the Pain Away," while "Prince Charming" is evidence that Ford hasn't totally abandoned her adolescence yet.

She is THE DIVA!!! She is THE PIONEER!!! She In 2001, Music industry was suffered from flooding of "Goody-goody-idols."
However, a hot, beautiful and talentful diva made a huge revolution!
The name is WILLA FORD. Her real lyrics made a great impact in the scene, which praised good roll-models!
We need to think highly of her achievement to became the pioneer of "Dirty bitch idol" that Britney and Aguilera follow!!
