"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 changed my mind FOREVER on pop music!!

"This album might not be "breakthrough," but you have to admit the girl has talent (besides very obvious good looks.)She was the first to start the "bad girl" revolution that Britney and Xtina followed. Before this album I thought all pop was mindless shill written by someone else and barely performed by its so called singers. But this album (with which the singer produced and wrote most of the tracks) is refreshing. Mostly dance beats, but has a good blend of R&B along with the occasional "rock" laced in. A variety of moods can be found, from the horny, bad girl vibe (I Wanna Be Bad, Don't You Wish) to the "I'm independent"(Joke's On You, Did Ya Understand That), this really has something for every pop fan. Give her hard work a chance (because it really shows)."
Awesome album

"1.I Wanna Be Bad: #1 SMASH!! Willa's debut single, whcih set her up to be one of the most successful & most talented musician worldwide!! "Very unique & the best debut song for a musician {talented} ever!" Best debut video ever!!
2.Did Ya` Understand That: #1 SMASH!! Made a huge rebound this Summer along with "I Wanna Be Bad" & "Tender"! Along with JoJo's-"Leave (Get Out)" the breakup songs of the Summer. I think at the end of the year Best awards, this will win breakup song of the year. She shows so much emotion in this song...."simply amazing!" One of the best videos ever!
3.Ooh Ooh: Peaked at #3 on the charts. Amazing & a very sexy song. Very unique & of course, is a talented ballad you can dance to! "Amazing & has so much emotion!" HOT, HOT, HOT video!!
4.Tired: Peaked at #2 on the charts. Thank God, like me & her....great Talented people, their hearts, & minds think alike! She dises untalented popstars, especially britney-THANK GOD!! This is an amazing song & totally awesome to dance to & make up a beat to! The video rocks!!
5.Joke's On You: #1 Hit! It did hit #1, but wasn't nearly as successful as her other #1's! "Prince Charming" did better than this song, dispite the fact that "Prince Charming" didn't hit #1! Amazing song with a dance/rock edge! What some of "Sexysexobsessive" is told to be like! She holds on to a high note longer than Jessica & Christina A. can at some points!
6.Tender: #1 SMASH!! Still heatin up the charts! One of the only PURE ballads on the album & Willa shows off her vocals amazingly & is excellent at ballads!! No wonder it smashes & still is smashing up the charts!!
7.Don't You Wish: Top 10 hit!Hot, Sexy, & the lyrics tell she really wants this guy, but is with another girl. Thats her wish, for only a night or two for them to be together. Although its so hot & sexy, it's really depressing. She can't get him & she is dreaming of him, thats how I felt about a guys & a girl(s)!! The video is very hot & you can see threw some of her outfit..."HOT, HOT, HOT!!"
8.Prince Charming: Peaked at #2! One of the best songs on the album & one of the best videos ever!! In some of the video Willa has black, partcially crimped hair w/ straight hair. "One of the best & most amazing songs on the album. Willa's rapping skills are the best, even better than Missy!!" Shows this girl can RAP too!!
9.Somebody Take The Pain Away: Top 20 smash! Should have done better, but at least Top 20! One of the songs Willa performed on the Nautica tour, along with "I Wanna Be Bad" & "Innocent Girl" "The video & song fit perfectly together, all very unique"
10.Haunted Heart: Top 10 hit! Amazing ballad & Willa really shows off her vocals! The video is amazinng & tells a story, as well as the video. "One of the sexiest videos ever" This was shot in Las Vegas, Nevada. Very steamy & talented!! Ooh, for a fact, Willa directs all her videos, or at least MOST!!
11.Dare: Top 20 hit! Did well, but not talented Willa style, but at least it did this! "Very dancy & edgy, as well as the video" Amazing & unique! Kinda like the Good & Evil Remix of "A Toast To Men (F**k The Men)" available on the single {maxi single}!
12.All The Right Moves: Purely Pop/Dance/Club music! Excellent music and very amazing! Her voice is great in this song & she shows a lot of talent!!
*Internationally, all the songs on her were released as singles & all were in the Top 20!! Other tracks that also did this & weren't on here were: "Nastified", "Hey Pretty", "Lullaby", & the soon-to-be #1 smash (we all know it!!) "Santa Baby (Gimme, Gimme, Gimme)"!! Contrats!! Willa so far has had 6 #1 smash singles & they are:
