One of my biggest pet peeves in this world is lack of respect. Willa seems to get the grunt of this... A LOT. Even before her debut CD, "Willa Was Here" came out, she had anti-fans. In fact, I knew more anti-Willa fans than I knew Willa fans. I find this sad. What has she ever done? She's put her talent out on the line, she carries herself well and she's got the goods. Oh wait! How silly of me! We shouldn't like her...she dated a Backstreet Boy.

The girlfriend issue, huh? Yeah, well, I guess it's only natural to want what you can't have. (Nick Carter, being what you can't have.) She did nothing the deserve the wealth of ridicule she recieved, and for that I will forever be a Willa fan. Her debut CD was written almost entirely by her, and it's awesome (Favorite Tracks: #4: Tired and #8: Prince Charming). Let's try to keep in perspective that it's all about the music for the greater good.

And thank you to the anti-Willa fans:
All I ask is that we try to come together and remember it's all about love and music. And if we refocus the negative energy, we can do so much more together for our generation.

"I'm not gonna let these girls stop my dream. They can try to hold me down, and they can try to say they're not gonna let it happen, but at the end of the day, I'm gonna let the music speak for itself and work my butt off."

"Be yourself, be confident and kick a*s. And no matter what happens here, keep trying. You win some, you lose some…I know I did!"

"I believe in Destiny. From the day I was born, this is what I was put on this earth to do."


RESPECT. That's what it's all about. Unless you're out there, singing your heart and exposing your soul to the world, you have no right to judge what she sings, who she dates or anything else.
