I just bought this CD single, "Candy" and I played it over and over until I had it memeorized. I loved the snippetts of her songs that will be on the new CD too. What a voice on Mandy Moore...it's as sweet as candy! Her new CD is at the top of my Christmas wish list! I can't wait!

>"Candy" evokes Britney's "Baby, One More Time" on first listens, however the voice is fuller and more impassioned-and unlike Brintey -Mandy has some ability to enunicate what she is singing and has some range; the song does not rest soley on its pumped production, but its soulful delivery. Get it? No nasality, and some vocal inflection and touch of left-of-center rapping a la Sophie B in "Right Beside You". The song builds to a climax through its repetition because of Mandy's ability to adjust her delivery and to hit notes and sing on-key through twists and turns necessary in alternating points of inflection through the chorus and, unlike Brit whose voice remains frail to the point where every part of the "Baby, One More Time" delivery is calculatedly linear according to the producer's specifications, Mandy brings something to this song Britney or Jessica Simpson could not. Conversely, she does not feel compelled to overextend herself,and if she could, she would not be screaming one note as thought it were a Mariah Carey Marathon - as is the case in Jessica Simpson's in "I Wanna Love You Forever"- and although "Candy" does not serve her smooth and sweet voice to the level of the other album cuts which stylisically are more appropriate to showing off her pipes, she has a supple almost pleasinlgly girlish voice suited more toward quiet storm/jazz-inflected material("Lock Me In Your Heart" and "Quit Breaking My Heart") and Lisa Stansfield/Gabrielle-esque English girl soul ( "I Like It") that allow one to differentiate her style and material from the rest of the pact. "Candy" is nonetheless enjoyable and should be listened to as a debut from an artist who first needs to compete within the market she has to transcend it at radio and retail. In other words, "Candy" was a safe first single choice, and the odd thing about its charting at #41 in the U.S Hot 100 is that it goes to show she may have a hit with one of the other more fresh and unique tracks as Britney/Christina backlash unfurls that separate her from the; the entire album is ripe for the picking and the material is fresher than that of Christina's or Britney's. If Sony would have just accepted that lighting does not strike twice just because they are SONY, and could have handled that the single and album would not have appeared at #1 simultaneously, then maybe more fans would have, as I have, heard the entire body-of-work known as the album "So Real", and would know that Mandy is for and "So Real". The expected date of arrival of the album: I have heard Dec 7, 1999 or January 11, 2000...Pick it up and you will have to concede she is better than Brit and should outlast her!

This is a good single. Definately her coming out single. Now, why is Britney Spears better recognixed than Mandy? because Mandy's a better person, and Britney is evil! Sorry, Brit fans, but she's setting a bad example for little kids! Mandy's waaaaaaaay better!

This song is Mandy Moore's first hit Candy. It's a good, fun song~ It doesn't really show off much of Mandy's voice but the song itself is a fun song that reminds me of a summer hit. I think this song came out a few springs back. I first saw Mandy at and N'Sync concert I went to in Cincinatti. She did a good job of performing and this song was one that she sang. Back then no one had really heard of her. Then her cd single Candy came out and all the sudden she had herself her own fans! At first she did kinda seem to be wnating to be like Spears and Aguilera but over time she deveolped her own look and style and her songs are different. She is now pursuing acting as well as continuing the music business.
 Waitaminute...this is just a joke, right? Right? October 30, 1999

My God. You call this music? With a tinny voice "teen sensation" Mandy Moore a skinny 15 year old with a big ego and small head belts out the words(with lots of electronic enhancement)"Sugar to my heart," the absolutely nauseous lyrics and tune that someone else even less talanted than this teenage Milli-Vanilli wrote. Ahem.."You know who you are..you're love's as sweet as candy, I'll be forever yours, love always, Mandy." I laughed so, so hard. Never have I heard something that retarded since Britney "D-Cup" Spears. What's Mandy up to? "Love as sweet as candy" at fifteen? I certainly hope she fulfills her dream of becoming a prostitute. Good luck! It's all sugar to my heart!
