She play the the bad girl in princess diaries which she was great. And of course what i believe is her best movie is A walk to Remember, She was excellent, and was the first time i noticed her and feel in love with her style of acting. Her singling career is also picking up with her new song I could break your heart anyday of the week, which she performed great on Ellen, loved her facial expressions.

Mandy Moore rocks!!! ...Continue »
OMG I love Mandy Moore! I mean, she is sooo cool! Seriously, she's an awesome singer and an awesome actress. I've seen her in a few movies, and she is good! Like sweet_jane, my favorite Mandy Moore role is Jamie in "A Walk to Remember." I loved that movie! I even have it on VHS. I also love how much her music has matured. She started out as the 15-year-old pop singer, and now, she's more pop-rock and acoustic. She's really grown with her music. I love her voice! In a lot of her songs, she sounds like Michelle Branch, which is really cool. Mandy Moore is so awesome! I wish I could meet her. She rocks like a sweater!

She got my attention because she had an angelic voice, she kept my attention because she is so much more. She is one of todays great actresses. She takes movies that challenge. I love the fact that she doesn't always take an easy role. She also donesn't take a movie just because it's a garenteed block buster. She had the biggest impression on me in an indie film called saved! as the love to be hated Hillary Faye, her dynamic preformance in making you want to see her pay but help her up when she falls is absolutely amazing.

Amazing! ...Continue »
I have loved Mandy Moore for a while now. She is a wonderful singer and an amazing actress. I saw her as Lana in The Princess Diaries. I was amazed at how a sweet girl can play someone so snobby! She is a great actress! I also saw her in How to Deal. The movie wasn't my favourite, but that doesn't mean I didn't like her acting in it. Once again, she blew me away! My absolute favourite movie with Mandy Moore was A Walk to Remember, and I can relate very well to that movie. Mandy played Jamie, a girl who suffers from Cancer. I know how she's feeling. I have Cancer too, and it's very scary for me. Her love for God is so much like mine. She and I have a lot of the same religious beliefs.

Mandy Moore is a beautiful person, and she shows us that we can all be beautiful by just being ourselves.

Mandy Moore is the real deal, she doesn't have to expose herself to land roles in movies. She's underrated at times, and for the record... she's my #1 favorite. ...Continue »
Mandy Moore came out about the same time as Christina and Britney. When the fans saw she was another blonde beauty, they were expecting her to follow her peers... that's where they're wrong. Mandy has come a long way since then, and still holds on to her personal values. As a singer and actress, I have to admit that she's #1 in my book. Mandy's attitude and dedication to her music and acting is priceless, this is something more actresses need to follow. Any more it seems the typical female actress/singer has to show skin and raunchy looks to get the fan base. I find that going about things the wrong way. They say that sex sells, and as much as it makes me cringe... I have to agree.

Mandy has released several albums over the years, sure the first couple were cheesy... but c'mon she was a teenager! Now that she's in her early 20s, the star has released some amazing music. She recorded an album of all cover songs from artists that she found amazing, and have a lot of her fans hooked. She's been in plenty of films too, including the hit "A Walk To Remember"... one of the most amazing films EVER! Mandy will be releasing her new album, "Wild Hope" in June... giving her fans a CD to crank up this summer.

I've been a fan of Mandy Moore since the start, and I'll continue to be a fan. With her personal values, and her limits on doing things in movies... it's no wonder why I have so much love and respect for her. Women like her are hard to find today, they either start out sweet and turn bad or just follow what's hot. That, in my opinion is going about things the wrong way.
