The honest truth, when Mandy first came on the scene I thought to myself, "Oh dear God, not ANOTHER one".

Since then, though, my opinion has done a complete 180. I love Mandy. I think she's the real deal. I swear, the keep getting younger and younger. Mandy is just cute. I can't help but put it that way. I honestly think she'd be one of my friends. She just seems so down to earth.

"Candy" was the first single, and well, you really couldn't get any more bubble gum pop than that, but her voice is still amazing for someone so young. A lot of people compared her to Britney, but honestly, I don't think she sounds a thing like Brit. "I Wanna Be With You" made me into a 100% Mandy nut. I loved that song... still do! Her latest album, Mandy Moore, is awesome. I think I love every track on it.

I'm glad I changed my mind about Mandy. Hey, my best friend agrees to thinking Mandy's "cute", this is a revelation from an 'anti-pop' fan!

"At the end of the day I just want to go to sleep."

"I've had more fun as a brunette than as a blonde."

"I'm here and I'm singing...and they're still there, whether they like to hear my music or not, because they're the audience and they're there for the show."

"I think it's flattering when people say I'm a role model, but I don't think I am. It depends on your outlook on the word 'role model.' I'm not perfect or anything. I just consider it a great compliment."

"It's a real honor to be compared to Britney Spears. She opened everything for female soloists"


On a side note. I LOVE HER NEW HAIR!!! I think this girl is so classy. Keep on rockin' Mandy!

People's Most Beautiful [2002]

How does a teen star stand out from the midriff-baring pack? If you're Mandy Moore, you become a bottle brunette. Since dyeing her naturally blonde hair brown last year for her starring role in the surprise box office hit A Walk to Remember, Moore, 18, feels "more confident," she says. "I look at pictures of myself with blonde hair and cringe." Going against the glamor grain comes naturally to Moore, who insists "it's only human not to wear makeup." It was her unvarnished innocence that led director Adam Shankman to pursue her for Walk. "She has that incredible, open young face," he says. "She doesn't put across the whole sex thing." Unattached since breaking up with Wilmer Valderrama (That '70s Show) last winter, the 5'10" Moore shuttles between an L.A. condo and the Orlando home where her homemaker mom, Stacy, 45, pilot dad, Don, 45, and brothers Scott, 22, and Kyle, 16, still live. "She was a cute kid, not stunning," Stacy says. "But I look at her now and wonder, 'What happened to my baby girl?' "
