I think that this performance really goes to show how much she's matured both personally and vocally. AMAZING. A-MAZING!!! I am SOOO totally in love with her now!
I love this song! It's what made me come to know who she is, saw the music video of Candy back when she first started out and I fancied her right away and became a fan of hers! Today I suddenly thought of Mandy again and Candy I just had an urge to listen to it again so I went and bought her Best of CD.. and then I read how she was singing again and taken a totally different music direction now, the new songs are wonderful! she has an awesome voice, the greatest singers are usually underrated
haha i never ever in my wildest dreams would've thought this song is good... then she goes and sings it with such a soulful vibe... daaamn...props to mandy :D
Ok. 1) Thank you x 1,000.000 for posting this. I just died. This is the greatest thing ever. 2) However, calling this "Mandy Moore (live) - Candy (slower version)" is an epic fail, and I don't say that to be mean but my god, this is like finding the original copy of the magna carta under your bed or something. 3) SHE IS THE BEST EVER, I think there can't be any debate out it any more. Are you kidding me? Stunning performance.
Gosh this song sounds great live and in its new version. I am glad she "kinda" embraced the song that made her famous at 15. For so many years she dissed all the songs that she recorded when she was a teen. I like both versions of Candy. Her new music is great as well just too bad it does not sell as well.
Haha I love how Mandy always trashes this song, it's so funny and mature of her. She rocked this version, such a beautiful, genuine and fun performance.
I don't like that she mocks her old work. It's still under her name and her incredible vocals made her pop work pretty awesome. I have So Real, I Wanna Be With You, and Mandy Moore...her 3rd CD is one I still listen too since she sounds so mature.
@RuuBjAh1 OK, Im with you now :) I didnt realise she didnt like what she was recording back then. Not just what she thinks of the older stuff now' Thanks Ruu :)
@RuuBjAh1 It was ' Mandy Moore. The best of ' cd. The record company released it to get what money they could make out of Mandy's songs, not long after they sacked her. So of course she didnt mention or promote that cd.
Mandy was under contract and had to record what the label wanted her to, she HATES every album she did before "Coverage", which was her first album under a real artist driven record deal, so she refuses to sing the older songs, with the exception of this her new record "Amanda Leigh" is amazing and showcases what a true artist and writer she is, she was never meant to be a pop starlett. she's too damn good and she's right, catchy or not, "Candy" is a stupid song. great melody. dumb lyrics
I love this song slowed down. It's actually really sensual. I wish she would own up to what made her famous though instead of dissing it off like singing it is the dumbest thing she's ever done.
@RuuBjAh1 lol, maybe we'll get 'there' one day and understand what each other is talking about :). OK, so you're saying, another reason she didnt promote her 'best of' cd, is because she didnt like her older stuff?
Hmm... that's weird, this is probably right after "The Greatest Hits" cd and she didn't promote that one, because she didn't like the first two albums and they were featured on it...
not gonna lie, it was kind of messed up what she said about "Candy"...she wouldn't even be recognized doing what she's doing today had it not been for that song. she probably should've kept those thoughts to herself, but whatever. i still love her voice.
i'm sorry. i love mandy moore and have always been a huge fan, but her bashing of her first couple of records is disrespectful. those records are what put her on the map especially "candy". no one knew who she was until its release. it was a huge part of my own experience of growing up, along with britney, christina, bb boys, n'sync etc. whether she hates them or not, she should still play some because those are what she is famous for and some people do like the songs whether she does or not.
LOL, if Mandy HONESTLY hates her old albums and likes her new ones then she is seriously disturbed. I LOVE Mandy Moore, she's an amazing singer and actress but her new music fucking sucks. I think Mandy hates it cause I believe her record label was trying to make her the next Britney. If you think about it, there are many similarities but it just didn't work out. But she should TOTALLY go back to pop. She be so much more successful musically.
@agramsci big mandy moore fan have her 1999 2000 i want to be with you. i always thought back then and today that she was very underrated sheis queen of pop in my mind. people give britney all praise but i would put mandy moore higher up then spears her voice is great and she is cute.
She really is a true artist. She can take a song like Candy and make it a power ballad haha. I love Mandy Moore!! Beautiful voice, beautiful woman!

she should so record a studio version of this! loved it.
I agree.

LOVE this jazzed-up version!
ANDDDD she's super cute, and adorable!!!
i like more the original... but this version is amazing to!!!
wonderful!!!
I just put a transcript in the description, hope that helps!
Haha I love how Mandy always trashes this song, it's so funny and mature of her. She rocked this version, such a beautiful, genuine and fun performance.
Wild Hope was an incredible CD to bad more people didn't buy it and that was a great tour in 07 I saw it in DC no lipsync here
I don't like that she mocks her old work. It's still under her name and her incredible vocals made her pop work pretty awesome. I have So Real, I Wanna Be With You, and Mandy Moore...her 3rd CD is one I still listen too since she sounds so mature.
La-la-la-la Love Her!
She actually did the spoken part at our show last night.
Where can I download this, i love this verison its so good!!!! Does anyone have it??
haha funny guy with rough voice shouting "I love candeeehh!!!" on 2:35
@RuuBjAh1 lol, I knew we'd get there sooner or later! haha
damn this slow version is absolutely sexy and amazing!!!!!!!!
mandy, please come to Singapore!!!! :)
Wasn't her best moment this song (when it was release but the acoustic version she did in Brisbane this year as opening for Kelly was AMAZING!
I miss candy too.
I thought Mandy liked her self titled album which she had some say in and actually had her first songwriting credit on....
@RuuBjAh1 OK, Im with you now :) I didnt realise she didnt like what she was recording back then. Not just what she thinks of the older stuff now' Thanks Ruu :)
@10Poida
I meant that she also didn´t promote it, because she didn´t like her older albums...
3:43 got me going to the extreme...whatever that means! :)
does anyone know where and if I can download this song????
mandy is amazing but seriously how do you miss someone like candy lolz
Well, don't expect to hear her singing them live any time soon, because she thinks they were terrible.
@10Poida
hahaha indeed... yeah that's what I'm talking about...
I sang this at a talent show w/ a friend of mine in like 7th grade
@RuuBjAh1 It was ' Mandy Moore. The best of ' cd. The record company released it to get what money they could make out of Mandy's songs, not long after they sacked her. So of course she didnt mention or promote that cd.

and she's right, catchy or not, "Candy" is a stupid song. great melody. dumb lyrics
@10Poida
ur welcome, but now i dont get what ur talking bout...
I love this song slowed down. It's actually really sensual. I wish she would own up to what made her famous though instead of dissing it off like singing it is the dumbest thing she's ever done.
@10Poida
yeah but she also did not like, the first few albums, right??
YOUR YOUR SUGER TO MY HART
where are u mandy?? :(
@RuuBjAh1 lol, maybe we'll get 'there' one day and understand what each other is talking about :). OK, so you're saying, another reason she didnt promote her 'best of' cd, is because she didnt like her older stuff?

Nice quality. What kind of camera did you use?
@RuuBjAh1 sorry, Im not sure of what point you're making. :(

I heard she only hated the "So Real" and "I Wanna Be With You EP."
Panasonic DMC-FZ8
YOUR YOUR SUGAR TO MY HART .lol at them yelling smh
what was she saying before the start of the song?? I can't understand it... can you please post the things she said?? it sounded funny?!
LOL, if Mandy HONESTLY hates her old albums and likes her new ones then she is seriously disturbed.

She be so much more successful musically.
Wikipedia is your friend.
what was she saying about this song? i heard her say she might not remember the words.. and i think she's kinda embarrassed to sing this song.. LOL
@agramsci big mandy moore fan have her 1999 2000 i want to be with you. i always thought back then and today that she was very underrated sheis queen of pop in my mind. people give britney all praise but i would put mandy moore higher up then spears her voice is great and she is cute.
She probably doesn't like that part.
Who ever was shooting it was sadly really really bad at it. She sings great though
geez mandy use some frizz ezze for that hair please...and a make up artist please
More like 23 (almost 24). You fail at math and you fail at taking my advice and using Wikipedia (which had conveniently done the math for you).
