Mandy Moore Calls Herself 'Mediocre' Singer, Actress | | Mandy Moore is her own harshest critic.
Asked in the June issue of Elle if she considers herself a better singer or actress, she says: "I'm mediocre at both. I'm not trying to come across as self-deprecating. I'm just being honest."
Her first album in four years, Wild Hope, hits stores in June. "I don't want any expectations," the 23-year-old says. "I just want people to know that I still sing. Most people don't realize that, or else they hate my music – rightfully so."
She's blunt when looking back on her image as a '90s-era teen pop star. "I'm sure I was viewed as the young, untalented one," she says. "Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera had some great pop music. And then there was Jessica Simpson. And then there was me. And that's fine." |
