Though Mandy Moore's path to stardom was similar to those followed by other one-time teen sensations such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson, Moore quickly emerged as the most mature and level-headed of the bunch. She scored a few minor hits in a teen-pop/R&B mode before branching out stylistically and releasing an album of diverse covers and an album of original material she wrote herself. Though Moore has never come close to matching the success of her teen pop contemporaries, she's had a notably successful film career and has managed to stay refreshingly controversy-free despite being a paparazzi favorite.
