Mandy Moore

I Wanna Be With You

My favorite album for a long time...

Review Score:

(10/10)
~I was absolutely in love with the movie "Center Stage" and Mandy's performance of "I Wanna Be With You". This song is so pretty and fits really well with the movie and Mandy's personality! This CD is worth it for this track alone!

1.)I Wanna Be With You: ...haven't I said enough ^? ...I love it! 5/5

2.)Everything My Heart Desires: sounds like it's meant to be played in a dance club! The lyrics and the sound really get to you! Another of this album's highlights. 5/5

~3.)Want You Back: really pretty song - my second favorite on here! She manages to hit the point of sadness and then picks up the beat to get you into it! 5/5

4.)The Way to My Heart: another fast, pretty song that is based on breaking up and how she feels - he's the only one that knows the way to her heart. 5/5

5.)So Real (Wade Robson Remix): it's not as good as the original. The album had been great until this point, when they put in her old songs. Mandy had really grown up in the~~~ "I Wanna Be With You" album, and her previous one just doesn't fit here. 3/5

6.)Lock Me in Your Heart: gets back on her sweet, breathy singing, but somehow lacks the connection. 4/5

7.)Walk Me Home: ditto, I didn't like this song too much. They have this video on here, but I would have rather had the "I Wanna Be With You" video. 3.5/5

8.)I Like It: retro sound, don't like it too much. 3/5

9.)So Real: well, better than the remix, but now it's overplayed here. Still, I~~ give it a 4/5

10.)Candy (Wade Robson Remix): okay remix, weird lyrics..."I'm missing you like candy"? ...um, okay... 3/5

11.)Your Face: another new song, nice but a bit too slow and breathy. I didn't know who was going to fall asleep first - me or her! ...lol, but it's nice to have something new and a break from her old album that she evidently grew out of. 3.5/5

12.)I Wanna Be With You (Soul Solution Remix): another face of this song. Still cool, but the remix lost the~~ soaring beauty of the original song... 4/5

Well, Mandy really did grow up from her debut album and we like this a lot better. I'm a big fan of Mandy and this is how I started. This album is cool and made up for an under-developed first album, even though it used previous songs. Great, pivotal moment in Mandy's career.~
