![]() ![]() A few darker songs were followed Moore playing guitar on the cheesy, "Can't You Just Adore Her?" which she apparently wrote because she loves the word "adore." She does have a quiet sex appeal - maybe the reason there were so many older men lurking by the bar.Īfter stopping to sign an autograph, Moore sang several songs that sounded similar, including "Extraordinary," the first single from her new album (sample lyric: "And now I'm ready to be extraordinary"). Moore claims not to have "sexy music," but if she did, this song would be it. During the first two songs of her set, Moore rocked out with her band however, her attempt at being a gritty, tough rocker chick just made her look awkward.Īlthough most of Moore's ballads sounded alike, songs that stood out included "Looking Forward to Looking Back," and a sultry rendition of "Wild Hope," on which the whole band grooved. On Saturday, however, Moore sang songs from her new record, Wild Hope>, which she wrote herself. Moore has also appeared in several films, including "The Princess Diaries," "Saved!," "License to Wed" and "A Walk to Remember," for which she recorded several songs. Though this is Moore's "first proper tour," Wild Hope is her fifth album. She raved about Madison and asked the crowd, "How about those Badgers?!" generating a loud and positive response. During her set, her shyness seemed to dissolve into utter amazement that she was actually singing songs she wrote in front of people who actually liked them - at least a little. However, no one seemed more embarassed than Moore when she first appeared onstage to sing with Chris Stills her hair hung in her face and she did not make eye contact the entire time. The crowd was comprised mostly of 20- and 30-somethings on dates and girls who seemed both excited and embarassed to be there. Many songs sounded alike, but the addition of actual instruments is a definite improvement from her teen-pop days. Moore appeared in a conservative black dress and sang most of the songs from her new album, Wild Hope, sweetly enduring shouts of "Mandy! Play ‘Candy!'" between each number. Two acoustic opening acts, Chris Stills and Ben Lee, set the stage and prepared the crowd for the new Mandy (though their use of language and questionable song content was rather innappropriate for the 10-year-olds in the front row). On Saturday night at the grand opening of the revamped Majestic Theatre, Mandy Moore played songs that she wrote herself and attempted to prove that she has matured as an artist. Now, we are supposed to forget that ‘Candy' ever happened and take Mandy seriously as a singer-songwriter. We know Mandy Moore as the sweet pop-princess whose catchy but forgettable singles just did not cut it against the likes of scandalous and scantily-clad Britney and Christina. ![]()
