All I have to say is this-- Mandy Moore--So Real--So Good. Really, I ain't joking. I really don't know what the deal is with this Spears chick, but I'm telling you, Mandy is NOTHING at all like her. Her songs are more meaningful, upbeat and...good. She has songs that will keep you humming to the tune for days. (Trust me) I'm going to be honest to all you music-lovers, out of all the eleven songs I heard, I liked...all of THEM. Finally, an album where I enjoy listening to all the songs in the track. Now, of course, I'm a person that enjoys listening to pop. Please, don't buy this cd if you like listening to Korn or Hole, or something like that. It's just not for you. I have absolutely no regrets buying this cd. It's the best. And you're talking to an experienced person here. So go on and buy the album, and try it and see. Really. Go do it. Now.

I have to admit, when I first got this cd I was not so thrilled with the tracks and the singing. It was different than other things I'd heard, like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera. But that's what makes it better than their cds: It's different. Mandy does seem to follow with the other girl trends, but it looks like she's started her own path. Her songs are fun, not too serious, and innocent. Nothing naughty here.

It takes a while to warm up to it, but I've listened to it and listened to it and it just gets better and better every time.

Go Mandy! You've got the right idea! This cd is perfect for anyone who loves pop. You don't have to love Britney to get into Mandy Moore. :o)

mandy moore has a sweet soulful voice and talent that is SO REAL . she is not just a britney spears replica . mandy knows how to sing and can do in in a classy way not a trashy way ,and she proves that in her cd. i recommend this cd to everyone , i love this cd because its something i can pop in and sing along to .mandy moore is on tour with the backstreet boys and if shes good enough for bsb you know she is GREAT !

Well I just bought this Cd and it's good and it's music sounded like Britney and Christina Beat in together, and so this cd is great for those who are Mandy's fans, and also for Britney's and Christina's Fans. Also Mandy is only 15 yrs old and is the my best 15 year old singer. So if you like my review, try to buy the cd it's great. My favorite Musics are: #1 "So real",#2 "Candy", #3 "What you want",#5 "Lock me in your heart",#7 "Quit breaking my heart" ,and #9 "Not too young" from the CD track. So this is a great Cd. So try to buy this cd is great and the beat is good too.

Before you write Mandy off as another Britney or Christina, WAIT! I am a teenage girl and I think this is a fantastic CD! This CD holds great songs I never even knew I would like so much! Here are my opinions of each song:

1. So Real-"Baby it's real(real, real)..." This song is truly "So Real"! A great song to start out with and an excellent choice for an album title!
2. Candy-This shows the true foundations for an all-around pop hit! I love this song! Very danceable and very fun to sing along to!
3. What You Want-This is good song too. I love they way the song explodes into the chorus with Mandy singing "What you want, I can be, I'm the girl of your fantasy..."
4. Walk Me Home-Mandy's voice sounds purely sweet in here... a wonderful slow song.
5. Lock Me In Your Heart-This song is very cool. It reflects a certain mysteriousness. I love it in the end when she sings softly and mysteriously over and over the phrase "take me baby, take my away..."
6. Telephone (Interlude)-I don't see the point of having this on the album...but it's only about 20-30 seconds though.
7. Quit Breaking My Heart-A great slow song where Mandy's voice is sweet and mellow... kinda shows off the great voice she has.
8. Let Me Be The One-Mandy turns Britney a little bit in this song, but not too much... she still reflects her own style of singing.
9. Not Too Young-This song is great! I absolutely love it because it reflects me and a guy in my class... hits very close to home! Very orginal and clever lyrics when she sings the chorus, which says "I'm not too young to know the right things to do, and one of those things is not to fall for you. Boy I don't want no play, didn't you hear me say "I'm not gonna fall for you, so please just go away"
10. Love Shot-A awesome dance song with a great beat!
11. I Like It-I really don't really care much for this song, but it always depends on your taste of music.
12. Love You For Always-A pretty good song
13. Quit Breaking My Heart - (reprise)-A one-minute summary of the song "Quit Breaking my Heart". It reflects Mandy's dynamic voice well, and is a nice closing to the album

Overall, I was VERY pleased with this album. Mandy has a great voice and most certainly will have a great future in music ahead of her. Another bonus: when you enter the CD into your computer, you can watch an exclusive interview and her Candy music video. These are just my personal opinions of these songs, it's up to you to buy it and decide whether you like it or not! :) MANDY, GREAT JOB!
