So Real

MANDY HAS THE VOICE!

Review Score:

(10/10)
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!
