'''Willa Ford''' (born '''Amanda Lee Williford''' on [[January 22]], [[1981]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[pop singer]].
'''AC Milan''' is an [[Italy|Italian]] [[football (soccer)|football]] club. Based in [[Milan]], they play in red-and-black stripes and black shorts, giving them the nickname ''rossoneri'' ("red-blacks"). One of the most successful [[club]]s in the [[World]], they have won the prestigious [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] 6 times (second only to [[Real Madrid]]), [[Serie A]] 17 times (only rivals [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] have more [[Scudetto]]s) and [[Coppa Italia]] five times. It is also one of the most supported football clubs in the world.

The club was founded in [[1899]] as the ''Milan Cricket and Football Club'' by [[Alfred Edwards]] and [[Herbert Kilpin]], [[United Kingdom|British]] expatriates. In [[honour]] of its [[origin|origins]], the club has retained the [[English language|English]] [[spelling]] of its [[city|city's]] [[name]], instead of changing it to the [[Italian language|Italian]] ''Milano''; it should be [[noted|noted]] that the current Italian [[pronunciation]] is actually ''MEE-lahn''.
 
==Biography==
The team's current [[stadium]] is the 85,700 seater Giuseppe Meazza, also known as the [[San Siro]]. The stadium is shared with [[Internazionale Milano F.C.|Internazionale]] (also known as "Inter"), the other major football club in Milan. AC Milan supporters use "San Siro" to refer to the stadium because [[Giuseppe Meazza|Meazza]] was a star player for Inter.
Willa was born and raised in [[Ruskin, Florida]]. She began pursuing her dream of becoming a singer at the age of 8, when she started singing with the ''Tampa Bay Children's Choir''. By the time she reached age 11, she had moved on from the children’s choir to the Tampa-based children’s performing arts troupe, ''Entertainment Revue''. This group consisted of 20 girls ages 5-16. The tour the area and sang at such places as, [[Walt Disney World]] and Busch Gardens. Willa worked hard in the group and moved her way up from a chorus member to the role of featured soloist. When Willa was 15, she left the troupe and landed spot with a local foursome ''FLA''. She didn’t stay long with the group before deciding to head out to Los Angeles.
 
In 1999 Willa while performing under the stage name '''Mandah''', she was signed to [[MCA]]. While with MCA she released a song on the double-platinum soundtrack ‘''Pokémon The First Movie’'' called ‘''Lullaby''’. She also landed a spot as an opening act for the [[Backstreet Boys]]. Which managed to attract a lot of attention, for her performances as well as her relationship with one of its members. Soon Willa’s label changed her stage name from Mandah, to avoid confusion with another female singer, to Willa Ford and tried to promote a beautiful singer with a good-girl image. After some negative publicity that tainted their clean-cut image for Willa, MCA decided to drop her, letting her move on to a label that would embrace her bad-girl image.
Historically, AC Milan (usually referred to as "Mìlan" in Italy) was supported by the city's [[working class|working classes]] and [[trade union|trade unionists]], while Inter was mainly supported by the more prosperous. However, in recent years, the clubs have seen a significant reversal in supporter bases, since Milan is now owned by [[media]] magnate and current conservative [[Prime Minister of Italy|Prime Minister]] [[Silvio Berlusconi]], while Inter is now owned by a centre-left [[petroleum|oil]] [[businessman]], [[Massimo Moratti]].
 
It wasn’t long before [[Lava/Atlantic]] would give Willa a deal and put her in to studio with a diverse variety of writers and producers. Although she had many talented writers working with her, Willa was determined to write most of the lyrics herself, which was unlike other teen singers at the time. She would use her life for material or make up a character that she would want to be.
