Listen To This: A Revelation
Filed under: Listen To ThisIf you like Sarah McLachlan or The Wreckers, then you will LOVE this song!
It's called Gardenia and it's pretty pretty pretty, but it's also much more.
It's a defiant anthem. It's the statement of a young woman coming into her own. And, though not exactly new, we've been playing it on repeat all weekend long.
CLICK HERE to find out who sings this song. You might be surprised!
It's Mandy Moore!
And, the exquisite song is off her new album, Wild Hope.

: )
i love the way mandy moore has turned out…not like all the other 90's pop stars.
1st??
wow! It's great
x
i have a soft spot for mandy moore–she's much more glorious and talented than she gets credit for.
love it
Its mandy moore. I love this song. ITs from her new album
beautiful
5th! she looks bored
its very gooooooodddd
HELP ME MEET BRITNEYYY
This is the crappiest song ever.. they are both singing different tune at the same time.
I've been listening to the album since last summer. Gardenia really is something special and in my eyes, everything that Mandy Moore touches musically is just pure gold.
That was quite painful to listen to, I had to turned it off after 20 secs.. thumbs down.
I have been listening to this song since summer. It holds a place in my heart.
She's HOT !!!!!
omg, i can't believe you just made a post about 3 of my all time favs…
especially THE WRECKERS! like literally no one really knows them, but i love them to pieces….
LOVE YA PEREZ!
She has such an amazing voice - real tlent.
It makes people like britney and heidi wanna bes a total joke. I love this song!!!!!!!!!
She is so underated…I really like her…Seems like a nice young woman…We should be reading about her more often, not Britney
xox, ilona rose
P.S. It is a beautiful song.
She had been working with Adam Duritz of Counting Crows and he was very clear on his blog that Mandy was going in a positive, artistic direction with her music. As far as I'm concerned…she's been legit for a long time now.
Nice, sounds like Sarah's Melody's, but certainly not as good as our Sarah…
Coming from a gay boy, can I just say that Mandy Moore is HOTT!?
sarah maclachlan??? are you tone deaf after the flight to london??? blech!!! more like kelly clarkson (also blech!) than the fabulous sarah m.
beautiful song… hands down. =] gorgeous girl too.
I've been listening to this song for a few months now, and I am absolutely in love with it. Mandy Moore has turned out so much better than I ever though. Her music has depth and soul, and her voice is absolutely beautiful. Good choice Perez!
I loved Mandy Moore in 'Saved!' I really like it when she very knowingly satirizes the weird goody-goody image she has — she works it to her advantage. Too bad Zach Braff was a complete dipshit, right?
I've loved loved loved this song since a particularly bad breakup this summer. Mandy might have started out as a flufftart, but the girl can sang.
i love the wreckers!
i love the song elsewhere (sarah mclachlan)
it also sounds like Bethany Joy Galeotti! It's a typically One Tree Hill song!
love it love it
Great song, Mandy is amazing.
i LOOOOOOOOVE sarah mclachlan & i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!! it's so pretty
Adam Duritz got so much shit for saying that many moore's music was okay …well i guess he was right …
an Amazing song
Re: say what? – He wasn't referring to the voice dumbass. It's the STYLE of the music. Duh!
been out for a while perez… Glamour did a little piece about this song like a year ago.
NOFUCKINGWAY. Awesome song Mandy Moore, LOVE IT!
Great song! Good for Mandy Moore - She has a beautiful voice and just a piano as back up and sounds wicked! I am getting this album! Good ear perez! You point out some great tunes
I love Mandy Moore! Definitely a great song!
Oh Perez, you're so behind. This song is off of her CD from LAST YEAR. IT's been out 6-7 months already. You didn't discover shit.
Shes so normal its scary.
I'll bet shes sick and twisted like the rest of us. Has a closet full of fetish gear, or collects something kinky.
No I'm joking, she seems pretty genuine.
Mandy's real fans knew about this song over 8 months ago. Perez your getting a bit slow aren't you?
Whoa. I knew nothing about her voice until this - thanx for the intro. Lovely.
Very,very nice…… How refreshing to hear something beautiful from someone not drunk, high, in or just out of rehab.
Wowzers!!! I guessed Vanessa Carlton and it was a nice surprise to see Mandy!
This whole album is awesome!! Seriously, give it a listen!
love it!…remember the crazy mandy did not go to rehab incident..ha ha ha….yikes
IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE WAS UNDER RATED. So glad to hear others feel the same way.
I have been listening to this song for months now! Its amazing! Thanks so much for putting it on the site!
Wow what a surprise!!! It´s a beautiful song and she sings it perfectly. I´ve never been a fan of hers but that just might chance now.
i got to see her in concert last september and she sang this song. amazing. i was in tears. looooooooves it!
stay strong, brit.
Love the song! I wanted to buy it on Itunes but it is not available in the Dutch store!!
mandy thinks she can sing omg
Unlike other useless cunts with BS for initial!
Yup, I was surprised althought I've always liked her. There was never any doubt that she was talented, but this just shows that she's very versatile. I think she should go with this style, it suits her well!
It's Flat Stanley!!!
"I am the one who likes Gardenia?" And what she be doin' on the dirty ole flthy floor rolling around in ritz crackers. What happened to songs about CANDY rhyming it with MANDY? Oh my goooodness, we need some new talent up in the house.
stunning.
i.
love.
it.
I too have been listening to her album all weekend. I've had it for awhile, but have just recently really begun to listen to it a lot. It's beautiful.
oh this song is lovely.
love this song
you should listen 'wild hope' too
I always loved Mandy Moore, she also has an album of all covers and there is one Elton John song she did that I love! "Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters," check it out, I promise you will love it!
oh wow.. i love mandy moore!!!!!.. that song is beautiful.. but makes me so depressed!
THIS song is so old!
i already knew she sang it
Lovely song. Mandy has really come into her own musically.
soooo weird. iv been obsessing about this song for the past week and a half and thought lk noo body knew it! yay. absolutly love it and her!!!
i LOVE mandy moore. i saw her perform this in concert and it was amazing - just as good as the recorded version if not better! she deserves a lot more credit than people give her. perez, i love you. =)
awe.! it's beautiful!!, i looovvee ittt
I have been loving that song since i bought her album in Jan
great choice, perez. actually her whole album is pretty good. color me surprised.
Classy and beautiful just like Mandy
MANDY MOORE! i have been listening to this song ever since her album came out this summer! it is amazing!
young girls need to be paying attention to musicians like mandy moore and not reading about trainwrecks like britney, lohan, and etc.
this is a good thing. i wish more girls would respect this and not trashy celebs who have 10+ crotch shots on the internet.
it's a great song, but since mandy isn't a pill popping whore, it will go no where. i do love this song.
I guessed Christina Aguilera. I thought maybe she just changed up her vocals a bit.
Honestly it seems like a beautiful song, but I couldn't make it to the end, and I LOVE music. I don't love slow songs though.
I do feel that Mandy hasn't been given a chance musically because she isn't doing the same thing as when she first came out–she is not taking it further like Britney, and selling her soul to the devil. Well, if she has her sanity intact instead of being followed like Britney, I think she made the right choice
It's about fucking time you recognized Mandy Moore's singing career on here. Her latest album is AMAZING!!!
Re: DJ Dave –
)
sean kingston might seem like a Jell-O but he has talent and his songs are great
Not surprised! I love Mandy. She's a great artist.
I'll be danged. It's a very nice song.
Wow, I didn't know Mandy Moore has such a lovely voice. I think she has been masking behind those pop songs so long that people didn't realize that she can really sing.
Beautiful song!
i knew it
ohhhh I already had this song, I love it!!
Thanks for posting this perez it is amazing, the words and the vocals!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! And I love her rendetion of Umbrella too! Great to hear her voice…it is beautiful
So yeah I was just explaining to my bf why she didn't make it big when brit brit and x tina came out she was fully covered even jessica showed midrift but not mandy yay see I knew it she's the only one not crazy or failed well x tina finally settled down but don't forget all her dirrty fiascos
Xoxoxoxoxo
I am in love with her new album!
seriously one of the best artists of my generation. love me some mandy. we grew up together from her bubble gum pop "candy" to this beautiful "gardenia" she really has transitioned in her music which allows me to grow with her.
That has been my favorite song on Wild Hope since it came out!
Great song, but you should listen to Nothing That You Are off of that album. Got me through me rough moments!
I'm so happy that this song is going to get recognition!!!! This is my favorite some off of the Wild Hope album! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
If you like this you would love the radio station that plays her stuff a lott
you can down load it I think it is Lightning 100 out of Nasville ,Tn It is a independent radio station. Try it out if you want to hear music befor the main stream gets hold of it.
MM's entire album is awesome!
I LOVE THAT SONG!!!
Her album is actually pretty good Perez! But man, that song is GORGEOUS! 
Thanks for giving it the recognition it deserves 
What a beautiful song. Didn't expect to like it (looked at who it was from before listening). I can't stop playing it. LOVE IT!!!!
Perez this is old news! Mandy Moore released this album back in June or something, and I saw her perform it at the Tyra Banks show back in November!
i am surprised. I knew the voice sounded a little familiar, but i would have never guessed. I love it! Helps that gardenias are my fave flowers, but her voice sounds beautiful!!! I'd buy her CD, she needs to stay with singing these types of songs!
Her whole album (Wild Hope) is great! Download it, you'll see!
duh it's mandy if your fan you would have heard this shit months ago, or when you were hittin up one of her shows…… drop the ball o nthis one P this one it's old.
Fuck yeah! I've loved this song for a year.
