Mandy Moore "Wild Hope" Concert!

Last night, Mandy Moore came to Chicago and performed an incredible show for a small crowd. Right near the heart of Chicago, Moore introduced her band and new repertoire of songs on her upcoming album "Wild Hope" due out June 19, 2007.

Moore came out wearing a black beaded dress and cardigan designed by none other than herself. The line, called Mblem, features a vintage appeal on clothes with obvious comfort taken into consideration.

She began her show with a few new songs including "Nothing That You Are" and "All Good Things." As to not lose the crowd's interest, Moore also threw in a few oldies such as "Moonshadow" (originally Cat Stevens) and "Help Me" (originally Joni Mitchell).

Other songs of the night included new songs she sang included "Few Days Down," "Wild Hope" and "Latest Mistake," informing the audience that she wrote the song after someone in her life did her wrong. Finally, she sang "Gardenia," an incredibly beautiful ballad written with Chantal Kreviazuk. Near the end of the song, Moore had to stop and close her eyes, nearly on the brink of evident tears. This is definitely a song to remember.

The last two songs consisted of her recent single "Extraordinary"and a unique rendition of "Candy." Moore stated that as much as it "pained her" to sing "Candy" she knew everyone was just waiting for her to sing it. She even admitted to not remembering the words and whipped out her palm pilot and googled her own lyrics! Mid-way through the song she actually forgot the words, but gracefully saved herself by letting the audience know they can sing for her at anytime!

The show was just amazing and better than I could ever have expected. It's a relief to know that despite the jail-driven, rehab celebrities in the world, there are still successful, classy ones around proving to the world just who they are and where they intend to go, changing the world as they do so. Mandy Moore is not without her battles like any 23-year-old, but she exudes confidence in every way possible.
