Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM you had to be in to TRL era pop (Nsync, Britney, 98 Degrees, Mandy Moore, Samantha Mumba). She hosted a bunch of things for MTV too.
Lol nah. She came out during the MTV TRL days. Her career failed because she was a Jessica Simpson wannabe, who was a Britney Spears wannabe. She was one of many blonde white girls whose record label tried to copy the Britney blueprint. That niche was supersaturated in the late 90s/early 2000s
Yeah I definitely remember it. It was just straight up typical late 90s early 2000s pop song. You could have took any number of small booty blonde hair singers and put them on this track it would have been just as popular. Just completely overproduced nonsense LOL. She's delusional if she thinks her career was going to get any bigger than what it was.
Royce had massive potential in 1998 and 1999 but ultimately went the same way as Canibus when he came out on the losing end in the game of industry politics. There's nothing wrong with heightening your exposure and broadening your fan base by appearing on tracks with 'white pop singers'. Unless you're some black nationalist manic; in which case you sit with Benzino, and rambling old farts like the trainwreck that is Brand Nubian.
They always say that you have to be good, a little lucky, and great timing. So I can believe that the tragedy messed her over. It probably messed a bunch of people situation up.
Royce was so out place....look like he was walking down the street and saw them shooting the video through a warehouse window then walked in stole a donut and ask if he could get in on it since he was in the neighborhood
@@phraze410 when u an artist specially rappers lol u take your chances with these lame pop stars. That song may pay off and it may move u up terms of value in the industry lol not mad at him for taking that gig lol get the paper and bounce
She said anything that launched in 9/11 got canned that day. Jay Z dropped The Blueprint on 9/11, and so did Fabulous drop his first project that day too.
For anyone else not old enough to remember this song, ' I Wanna Be Bad ', was in fact a big hit back in 2001. But we all know what a short memory the Music Business has, & so it looks like Ford is just another One Hit Wonder that time passed by...
I remember that Glitter was also released on 9/11 and even though the soundtrack sold over 4 million copies Mariah was still dragged as it was labeled an epic flop. Ms. Carey took her L and allowed herself to become the butt of every joke that year but she never stopped working and persevered until she scored the biggest comeback in music history. It's all about the work-ethic, attitude and talent of the person; not always the circumstances.
I think her comments were misconstructed but there's some truth to it. A lot of movies, singles, albums were delayed or cancelled following 9/11. Even Sirius XM which was supposed to launch on 9/12 was delayed. Radio stations didn’t receive radio countdowns that week, they switched programming to news coverage and retooled their song playlists, which caused a lot of pop songs to drop off the Top 20 and some new releases failed to gain any attention. Sad times... there was a lot of uncertainty... malls were empty, people weren’t going out, sales fell and labels didn't want to invest. Artists that were still under development like her were being shelved or dropped. Pop music didn't fully recover until 2002.
No actually, you were right Nicole. She was a one hit wonder. "I Wanna Be Bad" was pretty big. It was even on commercials for 7-Up and Six Flags. She probably spent all that money, and now she's trying to be relevant again. LOL
"Drop one of clues bombs for eddie griffen damnit" With that back drop pic blowin up as the bomb went off. 0:40 Fuckin hilarious 😂😂😂😂 Idk why im laughing so hard maybe cuz im high but got damn im crying
No one is disrespecting this king. We're wondering about the white girl. Why couldn't she face a tragedy and still make music while after his own death this man still making music.
Willa Ford flopped because they industry could only take so MANY Blonde white girl pop star acts in the same time span. In this era we had Britney, Christina, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Anastasia, and her!? They were using that mold to push to many pop acts and ultimately only Britney and Christina were able to rise above the blonde bunch. If she changed her image, creative direction, music content (and dropped the auto tune) she’d be ok.
Benny Yea and her music sucked too.. All I'm sayin is.. u can't blame a tragedy like that for a music career that didn't take off.. I'm pretty sure she wasn't the only debuting singer during that time.. and oh yea again her music sucked
I had her album willa was her when I was a teenager it was a good album. The reason why she didn't make it big was because she didn't want to be like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera. I heard her song A toast to men I didn't like the song.
It was bad timing, but it wasn’t because of 911. It was because they were already a lot of female pop acts that outclassed her like Britney, Christina, even Mandy Moore. Willa was another basic white girl and her label tried to make her the “bad girl of pop” which is the corniest shit ever. The market was over saturated with those acts and the writing was on the wall that Willa’s shelf life was gonna be short. It also didn’t help that she was dating Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, and their fan base was rabid af. It’s like what the manager of the B Sharps from Simpsons said “You see, a lot of women are going to want to have sex with you, and we want them to think they can.” So Willa became public enemy number one to all those fan girls.
I searched Willa Ford's I wanna be bad and this came up. I'm embarrassed that I knew both her name and song title. Frankly, I deserve donkey of the day.
I used to enjoy Willa Ford’s music. I still listen to “I Wanna Be Bad” pretty frequently to this day. I remember listening to “Did Ya’ Understand That” a lot as a kid, but I don’t listen to it as much now.
Willa Ford is hella washed up out here in these streets. Don't nobody remember that bullshit. She couldn't compete w/ Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. She was overlooked. Mariah Carey also made that same stupid _9/11_ excuse as well. These artists are too damn proud to say *You know what y'all, my shit flopped, but next time Imma come back w/ some fire so thank you for supporting me.* You know, try to smooth it out so that the fans know you're holding yourself accountable and giving them something to look forward to. Too much like right. Folks is out here blaming shit on the climate changes, the government, the rain, the airplane, etcetera.
She actually said “everything that came out on 9/11/01 kinda got canned. The world stood still, AS IT SHOULDVE.” Meaning she doesn’t have a resentment...Thanks for misquoting her to fit your crappy two cents... but hey, whatever.
Willa Ford was a wanna-be Pop star in the early 2000's. She's mostly known for her one hit single "I Wanna be bad" with Royce and for dating a Backstreet boy...that's it.
Dude in 2001 we had singers like Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Pink, Britney freaking Spares she was in the bottom of the poll she was bound to flop sadly.
She wasn't that bad she was the bad girl version of those pop blondes but Pink was better at that position. And she came at the end of the bubble gum era. She better at acting imo.
Her career failed because almost all girls who came after Britney & Christina couldn't live up to that standard. Same thing happened to Mandy Moore's singing career.
Who??? ►►► bit.ly/2uRzkrN
Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM you had to be in to TRL era pop (Nsync, Britney, 98 Degrees, Mandy Moore, Samantha Mumba). She hosted a bunch of things for MTV too.
If you didn't talk about undercover brother, I wouldn't have remembered lol
Alex Pyatt They're bringing TRL back. Desperation.
Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM lmfao I can't I'm weak hahahahahaha
Mike Jones
Lol nah. She came out during the MTV TRL days. Her career failed because she was a Jessica Simpson wannabe, who was a Britney Spears wannabe. She was one of many blonde white girls whose record label tried to copy the Britney blueprint. That niche was supersaturated in the late 90s/early 2000s
Lionel Thompson Exactly. She was garbage and she still hasn't accepted that 16 years later. Guess we all gotta blame someone.
Kevin Pham PREACH!!! R.I.P Aaliyah
lol they all have just blended into one person in my head at this point.
Exactly... just like everyone tried to get together good looking white boys and follow the NSYNC/Backstreet Boys blueprint
Dont forget Chris--I mean X-tina.
Singers like her were a dime a dozen at the time. Her career went as far as it was going to go.
The still are imo.
James Mason so true
Exactly
Naw your just jealous
Yeah she couldn't sing
Why everybody tryna act they don't know this song? That's my jam
Yeah I definitely remember it. It was just straight up typical late 90s early 2000s pop song. You could have took any number of small booty blonde hair singers and put them on this track it would have been just as popular. Just completely overproduced nonsense LOL. She's delusional if she thinks her career was going to get any bigger than what it was.
Exactly. I fucking hate fake ass people bruh.
I remember this shit lol
Yess Idk what they talkin about this was a knock when it came out 😂
That was my shit too " i wanna be bad and make looks so good i got thinks on my mind"
i actually remember "i wanna be bad" from back in the day. LMAO.
Lynn W yea mee too lol I remember her performing on all that
Lynn W Same here
Lynn W same I actually had it on repeat in my CD player lol
I liked that song too and wonder what happened to her. I thought she got black balled after she broke up with nick carter.
Lynn W same! I remember it from that movie "What A Girl Wants" with Amanda Bynes lol
Drop one of clues bomb for Dj Envy reminding us he's rich 😂
Dead pan delivery, gotta love Charlamagne!
Travis Rogers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Travis Rogers I laughed for like 10 mins when I heard him say that!!! 🤣⚰️
Travis Rogers yes
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Her 1st album was actually fire lol. Typical pop album, but it did the job.
i stil loved the "did you understand that"
That track must have been a skeleton in Royce's closet. CTG straight exposed him lmao
I remember this shit coming out when I was 11. Lulz. She clownin'.
Jamal Aalo
I don't remember Royce being on this song
Lol they all got one. Kendrick is on Taylor Swift's song.
WRONG, he did a track for Nelly Fortado called "Something" and he also did a track with Madonna
Royce had massive potential in 1998 and 1999 but ultimately went the same way as Canibus when he came out on the losing end in the game of industry politics. There's nothing wrong with heightening your exposure and broadening your fan base by appearing on tracks with 'white pop singers'.

Never heard this generic pop song. Kinda like Brooke Hogan.
Yeah she was there and gone like a flash. Her blaming 9-11 is ridiculous. People weren’t feeling her music. Very generic early 2000s dance tracks.
Except I vaguely remember Brooke Hogans 1 song. This doesnt ring a bell lmao.
Hulk Hogans daughter had a singing career?
Rob Grady yup
Blames it on 911? Is that how many records she sold?
Shaun McCauley
I doubt it was that much. probably less lmao
$9.11 one cd.
@@fatearamines6848 That's messed up lol.
@@fatearamines6848 LMAO!!
They always say that you have to be good, a little lucky, and great timing. So I can believe that the tragedy messed her over. It probably messed a bunch of people situation up.
She sound like a budget Britney Spears. Also I need a Royce Interview now lol
She is not even the great Value version. More like the Dollar store Britney
Royce was so out place....look like he was walking down the street and saw them shooting the video through a warehouse window then walked in stole a donut and ask if he could get in on it since he was in the neighborhood
I just write a similar comment without even seen your comment till now lol she's a Britney copy lol as if Britney wasn't enough
@@phraze410 when u an artist specially rappers lol u take your chances with these lame pop stars. That song may pay off and it may move u up terms of value in the industry lol not mad at him for taking that gig lol get the paper and bounce
She is actually a very talented and sweet person who spoke without thinking. End of story.
She wanted to be bad but rather that album beat her to it. #BAD
I can't be one of the only ppl who used to love "I wanna be bad" 😂😂
Cakeandsum Rosesplease I still remember all the words
I used to love that song. I didn't buy her record tho.
Cakeandsum Rosesplease you aren't. Still my ish!!!
I had the CD single lol remember those? I don't remember her 2nd single though
Yeah you are...Lol
She was destined to be a one hit wonder. Like really think who was dominant in pop music back then Britney, Christina, Destiny's Child, Janet & Pink.
She said anything that launched in 9/11 got canned that day. Jay Z dropped The Blueprint on 9/11, and so did Fabulous drop his first project that day too.
TheRealdealdude2 Charlemagne already said that dummy. Smh
And_What stop fighting, both of you 😢
Not to mention POD and Nickelback did well.
Mariah Carey's "Glitter" as well.
The Impersonators she still outsold Willa Ford by miles though
I remember Willa Ford. She was pushed as the naughty version of Britney Spears. LOL! I forgot Royce da 5'9 was on that! lol
On the move yes she was. People just weren’t feeling her. She sounds like every other Britney clone during the era.
Which was dumb because Britney went naughty that same year😂
For anyone else not old enough to remember this song, ' I Wanna Be Bad ', was in fact a big hit back in 2001. But we all know what a short memory the Music Business has, & so it looks like Ford is just another One Hit Wonder that time passed by...
Willa who?
Ludens aren't you a wwp mod? Sup
Ludens Minor pop singer
Well she looks hot
Sierra Johnson ew no
Sierra Johnson hell nah cuzzin
I remembered this song when they introduced White She-Devil on Undercover Brother
I remember that Glitter was also released on 9/11 and even though the soundtrack sold over 4 million copies Mariah was still dragged as it was labeled an epic flop. Ms. Carey took her L and allowed herself to become the butt of every joke that year but she never stopped working and persevered until she scored the biggest comeback in music history. It's all about the work-ethic, attitude and talent of the person; not always the circumstances.
FART ON THOSE BAR'S
-CTHAGOD
This was a HUGE hit single. Y'all are crazy
Damn, she killed the shit outta that song with autotune
Lee Prado it was 2001,every other pop song was this generic non instrumental fluff. Glad that's over.
Ramsay Rose Pop music is even worse now. It's all autotuned pop crap. It's declined instead of gotten better
I may be weird I actually like her music
Liz Abella lol that second song didn't sound that bad to me.
I used to love that song when I was in middle school! That's a throwback 😂
I think her comments were misconstructed but there's some truth to it. A lot of movies, singles, albums were delayed or cancelled following 9/11.

I actually remember both songs that they mentioned in the video. 😊 90s baby right here.
Who? Lmao 😂 breakfast club yall need to stop with all these irrelevant ppl ✋🏽
Was a waste of time.
John Smith I will NOT stop coming on these videos with her as my picture thank you very much. Now you have a blessed day.
Mariam TM ikr
Willa ford bad af back in the day
Mariam TM right
I remember When she considered herself the Eminem of pop (actual quote) thats when I knew her career was over
The disrespect
😆
I hollered
She is a one hit wonder & that's it, that's all.
she never had any hits
Trilly Tha Great true,lol.
No actually, you were right Nicole. She was a one hit wonder. "I Wanna Be Bad" was pretty big. It was even on commercials for 7-Up and Six Flags. She probably spent all that money, and now she's trying to be relevant again. LOL
Trilly ThaGr8 LoL she did. She sold 250000 copies with the single but not the album tho. It’s on Wikipedia
PNdotCom i wanna be bad wasnt a hit lmao. The label paid these companies to have this song featured.
Man i remember that song but I thought it was Britney spears lol
Brianna R. Lol
she got lost in the shuffle
Jay Z complained about low sales of blueprint and accredited that to 9/11. This was way back in the day. It was in a Source or XXL interview.
Oh girl no. 😖. Go back to where ya been. I remember that song. I loved it. Didn't like any other songs she made. I watched TRL daily. Miss it 😢
me to😔
aspiringcreative 1 They are bringing it back this month or next month
Jay Walker I know. Is it gonna be the exact same format as b4 or is it gonna be different? Are the old host coming back?
I only now who she is cause she dated Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys.
Wackobacko BleachDrinker I love your pfp /•\
grease ain't the word thanks love yours too 5/5!

Christina Milan was affected too on the same day. She recover and she did well.
Did she tho?
I remember this song. I use to listen to this song when I worked with some people overnight at Borders Books around 2001 which was around 9/11.
"Drop one of clues bombs for eddie griffen damnit"

If Tupac could sell records before and after his death then what's her problem?
Nikeemah Imada she's not tupac though
Probably true
True factz!!!
Don't ever disrespect Tupac like that in your life .
No one is disrespecting this king. We're wondering about the white girl. Why couldn't she face a tragedy and still make music while after his own death this man still making music.
There are times when you think something but you just don't say it. Willa Ford this is one of those times.
To be 100 percent honest. Royce da 5'9 probably doesn't even remember doing that song.
Wait a minute thats Royce da 5'9????? 🤔
Jay-Z • Blueprint came out that day, Tuesday 11th September to 2001. I got it in London on Monday 10th September.
ayy this might sound like a dumb question but how did yall know an album was coming out before the internet?
+LA FLAME tv, radio, billboards.
Haha good ass question my fellow millennial. I was 9 myself
Dang man sorry to hear ya'll had it like that G.
Kempt Sohfhnz 1992 squad gang gang
“I still get checks for that”😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅Envyyyyyy
I remember her back in the day. I had her album Willa Was Here.
I like that early 2000 pop music. I wish it'd make a comeback.
Hell no
She is telling the truth but. These other artists were already known and had a fan base
exactly
Y'all can say what you want. Willa Ford was fine back in the day. I still remember that music video lol
Willa Ford flopped because they industry could only take so MANY Blonde white girl pop star acts in the same time span. In this era we had Britney, Christina, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, Anastasia, and her!? They were using that mold to push to many pop acts and ultimately only Britney and Christina were able to rise above the blonde bunch. If she changed her image, creative direction, music content (and dropped the auto tune) she’d be ok.
that was my song i aint gone lie
Mariah Carey also released a album on 9/11 and she still had a comeback out of nowhere like 4 or 5 years later
I literally was thinking about Mariah this whole time. The soundtrack to Glitter was cool. The movie was aight, too.
David Maine Me too! I was jus patiently waiting for him to say dat shit and he didn't 🤦🏽♂️
Don't be ignorant, Mariah was extremely established by 2001 and Willa came out several months before 9/11 and didn't have a fan base yet!
Benny Yea and her music sucked too.. All I'm sayin is.. u can't blame a tragedy like that for a music career that didn't take off.. I'm pretty sure she wasn't the only debuting singer during that time.. and oh yea again her music sucked
Yo Slayers Album God Hates Us All came out on 9/11
Shits a classic bruh
I I wanna be bad was the tune I was a lol kid rocking out to this on MTV haha
I had her album willa was her when I was a teenager it was a good album. The reason why she didn't make it big was because she didn't want to be like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera. I heard her song A toast to men I didn't like the song.
Another factor was that her first album didnt sell like a Spears or Aguilera despite having a successful single.....
"Drop one of clue's bombs for dj envy for reminding us he's rich" 😂😂😂
This is on my workout playlist 😹
That's my jam
One hit wonder like a MF. Was a pretty big song back then tho
It was bad timing, but it wasn’t because of 911. It was because they were already a lot of female pop acts that outclassed her like Britney, Christina, even Mandy Moore. Willa was another basic white girl and her label tried to make her the “bad girl of pop” which is the corniest shit ever. The market was over saturated with those acts and the writing was on the wall that Willa’s shelf life was gonna be short.
It also didn’t help that she was dating Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, and their fan base was rabid af. It’s like what the manager of the B Sharps from Simpsons said “You see, a lot of women are going to want to have sex with you, and we want them to think they can.” So Willa became public enemy number one to all those fan girls.
wila willa willa willa wila wachu want,, willa willa willa willa wutcha want?
Used to be one of my favorite songs!
I heard of her, but only because around that time my sister had an obsession/ hatred of her because she was dating her favorite Backstreet Boy.
yeah, nick carter. never saw or heard much from her after they ended things.
I only know this song as the “Black Man’s Kryptonite” theme lmao
I remember this song, and she can't sing.
I searched Willa Ford's I wanna be bad and this came up. I'm embarrassed that I knew both her name and song title. Frankly, I deserve donkey of the day.
You need to get royce again for an interview always dope with him 🙏🏻
Lol, I used to love that song. They played it on a Lizzy McGuire episode, and other Disney movies and shows.
Weird how these radio people don't remember this song smh
I had that single lol. Still have it
Curly73 Same. CD and cassette singles were my shit lol. I remember Sam Goody selling cassette singles for 3.49 or buy 3 for 10 dollars.
I love that song "I wanna be bad" I still remember it it was a bop!!!
That song was everything!!!
I used to enjoy Willa Ford’s music. I still listen to “I Wanna Be Bad” pretty frequently to this day. I remember listening to “Did Ya’ Understand That” a lot as a kid, but I don’t listen to it as much now.

I loved this song!!!!
Hi you look good
Hey, what does it mean for the clues bomb? Is it good or bad? I never understand it....
She actually said “everything that came out on 9/11/01 kinda got canned. The world stood still, AS IT SHOULDVE.” Meaning she doesn’t have a resentment...Thanks for misquoting her to fit your crappy two cents... but hey, whatever.
I remembered this song! Liked it at the time.
That department store scene with UB, White She Devil and Sistah Girl will forever be gold! _UB_ is a classic!!!
❤❤❤ Willaford, her voice is dope! girl can sing!
Shoutout to POD. Glad they got some love from the Breakfast Club.
It's also in the movie Dickie Roberts: former child star 👌🏾👍🏾
Willa Ford was a wanna-be Pop star in the early 2000's. She's mostly known for her one hit
single "I Wanna be bad" with Royce and for dating a Backstreet boy...that's it.
Dude in 2001 we had singers like Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Pink, Britney freaking Spares she was in the bottom of the poll she was bound to flop sadly.
I was shook when the 2nd recorded played and I recognized it lol. It had to be in a movie or something🤣🤣🤣.
Once I heard that song I immediately remembered that part on Undercover Brother.
Man I actually like this song and still listen to it
I remember that one trash ass song. She's fucking crazy. And damn rock music was making so much more money than rap in 2001
Right when they played the song I fell out laughing.. Undercover Brother memories 😂😂
She wasn't that bad she was the bad girl version of those pop blondes but Pink was better at that position. And she came at the end of the bubble gum era. She better at acting imo.
She has a really good voice though. I just think the people in power decide who they want to be a huge star and who they don't.
Loved that song still play it!
"That's not the same song??? Royce was on this song too???" Lmao I'm dead
Her career failed because almost all girls who came after Britney & Christina couldn't live up to that standard. Same thing happened to Mandy Moore's singing career.
I loved that song!!!!!
I might be reveling how corny I was as a kid but this was my shit!
SIMPLY DANNI mine too
the smooth sounds of the Hamiltones 👌👌
