Again my limited notes will be like this (*blah)
If your familiar with Willa Ford, it may be for the wrong reason. The 20-year-old singer-whose lava/atlantic records debut is do out in july-gained a number of " anti-fans" when word spread out that she was dating Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. (*okay why is it in every Willa interview he's in it too?)
"Backstreet (mania) freaked me out" says Willa who was one of BSBs opening acts on its '99 u.s. tour. "I saw signs like ' Die(Willa).' It was scary." (*okay was it just me or like was there NO signs that said something like that.. at least I didn't see any!) but not frightning enough to keep her away persuing a singing career as a solo artist. "I've been working for this all my life" says Willa, who split from Nick last October. "getting here is a mix of talent, luck and God." (*Ohh damn don't forget Nick..)
After toiling the in Entertainment Revue, a local singing troupe, the Ruskin, Fla.,native (real name Amanda Williford) was spotted by a talent scout. Willa's debut disc highlights all the qualities that turned her labels head: a booming voice, an R&B-influenced pop attack and a dont-mess-with-me attitude (she writes most of her lyrics). (*humm wonder how much she made Nick pay the writer of this artical to write that?)
On her first single,I wanna be bad", she sings about not being that innocent, and on "tired", willa list her pet peeves, one which is being compared to Britney Spears." Its not a dis to her",she says, "just dont categorize me". (*No one HAS categorized her to Britney.. is she on crack or just making this shit up?)
