This Month's Question: What do you think of up-and-coming singer Willa Ford???
Today's TRL guest: Eden's Crush... But we decided to ask the crowd about Willa Ford, the ex-girlfriend of BsB hottie, Nick Carter. She's got a new single, "I Wanna Be Bad?" Read on to find out if she really is.
1) "She seems O.K. and she sings nice. I met her once before when she was going out with Nick, and she seemed pretty nice." - Yvelisse, 20
2) "She's O.K. I don't think she really likes Nick that much, because they are always on and off. They don't make sure a great couple, but her music is pretty good." - Gina, 13
3) "I like her songs because they have good beats and a different edge. It is her personality [that] I'm not so sure about. I met her when the Backstreet Boys were in New York and she was snotty. Wait, maybe that's not the right word. She was phony. She would be nice to people's faces, but make fun of them when they walked away. I mean, at least wait until you get upstairs. I could care less if she goes out with Nick....... it's their lives. Whoever they want to go out with, they can go out with." Nicolette, 16
4) "I don't know her well. I've heard one of her songs and she has a nice beat to her music. I would listen to her, but I don't know about the personality, because I don't know her. I don't mind if she goes out with Nick. He is my favorite Backstreet guy, and I don't care if he goes out with her. I don't care who he goes out with - as long as he's happy." Karla, 19
5) "Today is my 10 month anniversary. I come to TRL everyday because I want to be on a show for MTV. I love TRL and the fans and that's what keeps me coming back. I've never heard of Willa Ford, but if Nick's ex-girlfriend wants to put out an album, I've got no problem with that." Javier, 19
6) "Oh, Nick's ex-girlfriend. I think I know who she is, but I'm not sure. But hey, more power to her if she wants to put out an album." Kim, 13
7) "It would be cool if she did better than him. If he was the one who dumped her, and she did better the BsB, that would be very cool." Anastascia, 13

Dear Bop: My name is Emily and I am a big Willa Ford Fan. She has a great voice, and can really dance. I would love it if you would please feature her more in the magazine. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Emily
Dear Bop: My name is Brittany and I love your magazine. It totally rocks!!! But, please DO NOT support Willa Ford with any stories. She is probably the worst singer around. She hurt Nick Carter, and the rest of the Backstreet Boys. I don't think that was right. Please DO NOT support her or give her any recognition. Brittany
(Sorry, Brittany... guess she got it anyways... hahahahahaha... evil fan laugh)
