Mandy Moore Is Using Reverse Psychology on Us

Mandy Moore is looking gorgeous in ELLE Magazine's Green Issue, which hits newsstands nationwide on April 17th. In the interview Mandy talks about her music career, calling herself the "young, un-talented one." I'm all for celebs being humble, but I think she's being a bit too hard on herself. You know you all loved her song, Candy. Anyway, it almost feels like she's using reverse psychology since she is out there to promote her new album. Here's more:

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."

Moore has even called her previous albums "trite, blah pop music" – but she chalks it up to the foolishness of youth. "I'm sure other people look back at things they did when they were 15 and go, 'Oh God.' That's how I feel about it. It's embarrassing."

Mandy has always been a class act to us. Then she did that little DJ AM thing but luckily that didn't last. For more of the beautiful Mandy and her smoky eyes just, read more

    I think I like the cover photo best. Is this the photo shoot where she hurt her foot in the ocean?

    I love Mandy Moore!! When ever I see her for some reason I want to dye my Blonde hair , brown ...then I come to my senses ...hehe Smiling (No- I wish I had the courage to do it Eye-wink though ) But I really do think Mandy is a great role model and seems like such a real person even though shes a celeb!

    I always have been a mandy moore fan - she seems so sweet. And she is really cute. Her stuff was kinda blah pop but no need for her to put herself down like that! She is still a hell of a lot cooler than some of those popstars out there.

    I don't remember her music. i only remember her song from A walk to remember (which i love and my bf hates bc i play it so much whenever i get all romantic in the head) and that candy song.

    i don't see her as an artist anymore, she's a packaged teen star to me nowadays.

    She's way better than Bimbo Simpson. She's gotta know that.

    I adore this girl. She is talented, even if she likes to state it in a humble fashion. Mandy has been able to keep her private life out of the tabloids, thereby being able to retain her untainted reputation and dignity. If I remember correctly, she did suffer from depression these past few years, and I am just happy to see her coming out of that stage of her life with a great new start.

    She certainly has changed a lot over the years but I don't think she was ever the untalented one. She was just younger than the other popstars. Plus, she's the only one of them who is a half decent actress, so she has that at least!

    I HATED her when she first came on the scene! I couldn't stand her music & I really really didn't like A Walk to Remember (well, thats not true, I just didn't want to like it) but when I saw her in Saved... man, I totally changed my mind!
    now I think she is great! she is confident & it shows in the way she carries herself

    popculture I totally agree with you about loving the stuff she came out with from A Walk To Remember! I love the song Cry and Someday We'll Know! Her voice is very pretty!

    She looks so fierce in that yellow gauzy shirt. I personally loved her portrayal of the b*tchy cheerleader in The Princess Diaries. I just think that role was the complete opposite of her personality, so it was really fun to watch!

    What is amazing is that Jen is at least 12 years older than the top 3 and 6 years older than Angelina. She really keeps in shape and looks fabulous. You go, girl.

    She looks absolutely gorgeous in ELLE magazine. She is hard on herself. Some of her music back then was fine.

    They're wrong. "Gardenia" was written over two years ago. Pre-Zach Braff. It's about Andy.

    She's wonderful, but the only pic I like is the black dress.
