Although not as successful in the Teen Beat scene as peers Britney and Christina, Mandy Moore is quietly making her own way, both as a recording artist and an actress. Signed in 1999, Moore released her debut album later that year to mediocre reviews. A repackaged version of the same album came out the following year and fared slightly better. The lukewarm reception from critics didn't stop Moore from becoming the "it" girl in other ways: the teen landed a spokesmodel job with Neutrogena and appeared in the movie, The Princess Diaries.
