Music Bite: Mandy Moore, *More* Than a Pop Princess

February 16, 2008 - 5:00 pm By Jess - NYU

823_mandy.jpgEvery once in a while, I’ll hear a song, and I’ll think to myself, Christ. This song is beautiful. Who sings it?

And then I find out Mandy Moore sings it. And it takes me a second to not freak out, because, like, I don’t usually turn to Mandy Moore when I want music that actually means something. But you know what? The chick has got some serious skills.

She’s grown up. Broken up (with Zack Braff. Me thinks she’s better off now), ripped away her computerized vocals, and poured her heart out to a piano.

Gardenia is off her newest album, Wild Hope. And even though the title seems just a bit cheesy, this song is anything but. If you’ve ever had to pick yourself up from the floor after a hideous break-up, Gardenia is your anthem.

    there’s no such thing as an original idea.

    But there IS such thing as a damn good song…

    yes! i’m glad someone else likes it, too. and so what if perez said it, it’s still good. and so is he. and so is this site.

    I just saw a porno with Mandy Moore doing her best “swallow the mic” impression.

    And let me tell you, she must’ve been Huuuungry.

    I couldn’t believe it either until I looked up Mandy Moore pics on the web and noticed that she had the same beauty mark.

    Unreal man.
