Willa Ford - Not Such An Innocent Girl

[@minimoto99]

How does stuff like this end up leaking like 20 years+ later?!

[@gfhvdfgvxf3630]

U tell me

[@daniel-bh4ij]

to quote someone (this could be false) "You guys know I’m not a leaker, but I recently discovered a pathetic low-life betrayed my trust & has been circulating my personal DAT rip of Willa Ford’s version of “Not Such an Innocent Girl” after I shared it with them freely. Lying & screwing over caring people who bought into your pathetic sob sorry is beyond disgusting."

[@OskarChoi]

It leaked many years ago already

[@mlee.a9002]

she literally performed this on a mall somewhere

[@DavidKen878]

I love this version. Willa sounds great.

[@darrenlockenheart]

This feels like a fever dream tbh. Seriously no idea she recorded this first. Would’ve totally worked as the follow up to I Wanna Be Bad in my opinion.

[@travisarcamone1451]

She discarded this song in favor of I wanna be bad because this song was edgy or sexy enough. If you listen to I wanna be bad it’s very thematically similar to this just more pg13 than this which is more pg lol

[@segajsaturn6036]

Victoria has stronger vocal delivery, and the back up vocals are sung by Sheri Ford-Payne, not Willa or Victoria. Victoria also has stronger vocals during the ad-libs, and the way she ends the song is more impactful. It is nice that the original record is finally out in the open. I think it’s a great song either way.

Delusional much.

[@diabmetry1574]

@@antonzanarkandshe may not have a bigger range but there’s no denying VB has a stronger vocal style, likely a result of being musical theatre trained. This chick has a tonally nice voice, but it’s very weak.

[@MirroredIllusions]

I remember there was a live recording of this from back when she opened for the Backstreet Boys. The studio version is very different both from that and Victoria Beckham's version.

[@ahskogen]

I think it sounds almost identical to VB’s version, they even kept some of the backing-vocals from Ford on VB’s version. I was never impressed by this song (from VB), even less so now. How unoriginal and quite honestly disappointing after the banger that was Out Of Your Mind.

[@shargreen9950]

@@ahskogenit’s confirmed that willa didn’t do the backing vocals. either way the song didn’t suit her lol.

[@BCMoon_Eternia]

[@TimothyMorigeau]

Love this!!! I had Victoria’s album too.

[@stephenmuckle4185]

Youd be surprised how much of this sort of thing goes on with songs being recorded by someone but never getting released and repackaged and released for someone else (and in some cases becoming a big hit). Cyprus' Eurovision entry this year (Liar by Silia Kapsis) is another example of this, as the song was previously submitted for Greece with a singer named Melissa Mantsoukis, and it was also rumoured to have been originally planned for Russia in 2022 with Klava Koca. As for this song, having listened to this version, i think it suited Willa more than Posh Spice since she was one of those US teen pop acts that were common in the early 2000s and the song was obviously written with her in mind, Victoria in comparison doesn't look right doing it since she was in or nearing her early 30s when she did it, and the song was more consistent with Willa's typical style.

yes like Kylie and Cypriot singer Anna Vissi both had On a night like this at the same time but a little known Swedish singer had it a year before. Seems a lot of pop is actually Scandinavian covers like Jamelia Superstar (and an Israeli singer had that out same time as Jamelia) and Natalie Imbruglia Torn

[@origo1165]

Who originally sang Superstar?

[@madmax7715]

Victoria was literally only 26 at the time

[@probablyjoeyy]

Woah 🎉 never knew this was a thing.

[@brigittelikeslanguages8916]

I love Victoria Beckham's version.

[@Onyx765]

FINALLY!! Been waiting so long to hear this!! Sounds like the producers pulled a J-Lo and left some of her vocals in Victoria's version!!

[@ayanp353]

That's normal. They recycled the demo and used Willa's vocals as backup because Victoria's voice is so weak

[@omnip3469]

That's what they always do.. instead of hiring new background singers which is gonna cost more money to produce.

[@EdensSlutz]

Those Backing Vocals are from Sherry Ford-Payne, Not Willa, so no, Willa's Vocals aren't in Victoria's version

[@diabmetry1574]

@@ayanp353Victoria’s voice isn’t weak. She simply has a limited range. Two very different things.

[@simsiously]

@@ayanp353 Do you really feel the need to comment that on any reply that praises Victoria's version? Get a life

[@hor9278]

That is simply *untrue*@@ayanp353 . Backing vocals were by another person, but definitely there is no Willa Ford in this, You should really read up on things before you speak. Also, Victoria's vocals are MUCH better!!!

[@AJCTB]

I wonder how much of her vocals were kept in Victoria's version

[@jccaldwell5464]

Wow! Thank you. I've been wanting to hear her version in full for the longest time 🥰 The song suits her much better than Victoria.

[@storm9685]

I think you're wrong I love Victoria's version so much better! Victoria has a beautiful buttery sultry voice! This version feels fuller sounding, but Victoria's is more honest if that makes sense.

[@ayanp353]

@@storm9685 Victoria's version uses Willa's voice as backup lol

[@StrickenWithFear]

How did Willa not end up using this for her own album? It would have made a great single since that was a little lacking on that album.

[@thediaryofamusicfreak]

I suspect it’s because the message is similar to I Wanna Be Bad

[@RareMusicSpam]

Where did you find this?

[@00srarities97]

A user called RedBloodedWoman shared this on a leaks forum. They apparently have Willa's first drafting of her debut album titled Willa's World.
