I'm sorry, but to all the people out there who doubted Willa's talent, this album has proved each and every one of you wrong. This is a very good album with a lot of power and promise. I've followed Willa's career for a year and a half now. While everyone else was saying that her first single "I Wanna Be Bad" would never make it to the Top 40, I was singing right along!
Sure, she might have played a Backstreet Boy (and taken his TV), but it doesn't mean everyone should go around saying nasty things about her. She's done a few things I wouldn't do, but she is a very talented writer with an impressive debut CD.
Now,my review of this WONDERFUL CD!:
1. I Wanna Be Bad: For all those of you who have not heard the song, BUY THIS CD AND LISTEN TO IT! The track on here is the rap version feat. Royce. Her debut single is edgy, promiscuous and FUN! 5 Stars.
2. Did Ya' Understand That: Sort of R&B-themed and very defiant, this song goes right ahead, tells another exactly what she thinks of 'em and says she wants no more to do with them. 5 stars.
3. Ooh Ooh: It took a very long time for this to grow on me, but the jazziness is infectious and the breathy lyrics are beautiful.
4. Tired: What a song, what a song! "Tired of the blondes that look like me, tired of the people sayin' 'Britney' Tired of the pop that should flop and should never be on TV and in your teen magazines." This song, almost rap and opposed to pop, outright disses her predecessors, her famous ex, ("Shame, it's the game you play for fame, but give it some time, you won't remember their names.") and goes on to tell just the kind of girl Amanda Williford is. 5 stars.
5. Joke's On You: My second favorite of the album. So easy to dance to, so much fun to listen to, and such a remarkable amount of girl power! I have a feeling who this is dedicated to, as well, but we won't go there. 5 stars.
6. Tender: Keep moving.
7. Don't You Wish: Sounding seductive and fresh, Willa tries a little opera near the end (Bravo! Bravo!), and sweetly serenades her Prince Charming. 5 stars.
8. Prince Charming: With all the catchy rap sections, the updated fairy tale theme, and the amount of playfulness of the song, I really can call it nothing but brilliant. 5 stars.
9. Somebody Take The Pain Away: Very good song, but not her best. 4 stars.
10. Haunted Heart: Very catchy and extremely pro-girl power. 4.5 stars.
11. Dare: It isn't a favorite, but it's fun to dance to and easy to listen to. 4 stars.
12. All the Right Moves: Not putting this on the American release was a bad choice, it has Willa's signature flirtatiousness and clever lyrics. It has a wonderful dance beat and catchy lyrics such as "you're playing with my passion.. why must true love be my reaction?" It sounds a little Britney-ish, but it works well for Willa.
All in all, it's a WONDERFULL album with a few dull tracks. An above average, memorable pop debut. Don't write her off as a wannabe pop princess until you give the album a try.
She can't sing. Her songwriting skills are limited. Her claim to fame is that she dated a pop singer who used his clout to get her a recording contract. When her lack of talent cost her that contract, she signed with a new label, took over a year to come up with a new CD, and here is the result: a bitter, pathetic attempt to be "cool" by being "bad." Willa, the joke's on you. You want to sound different but you sound just like everyone else. [....]
This CD is nothing the average pop fan hasn't heard. The only difference is that, rather than going to a professional songwriter, Willa Ford wrote her own cheesy pop lyrics.
Her voice is nothing to jump about; she can barely handle her own simple melodies. And when she blatantly goes off-pitch in Joke's On You and Dare, you can do nothing but laugh.
And in Tired, the self-glorifying egomaniac's theme song, the line "One hit wonder melodies who cannot sing a note," seems to be more autobiographical than anything else. Lets hope the title is prophetic, and that Willa will be a thing of the past REAL soon.
im willas fan. i think she is a great writer, she does not write about butterflies, candy,or stupid things like that ones. she writes real lyrics. my faves songs are all them all have a meaning 4 everyone. believe me they got one. i wanna be bad was the first single. its a great song. is so cool. now the new single is did ya understand that is a song about a girl telling a guy that she dont want him anymore that she is tired of him. great song, rea lyrics in it.
willas voice is great. in i wanna be bad she does not show it but songs like somebody take the pain away or tender or jokes on u or ohoh she really shows that she knows how to sing.
