Mandy Moore Sticks Up For ‘Idol’ Singers

Mandy Moore spoke with Sun Media about how she doesn’t turn her nose up to those who have caught a break in the music industry thanks to reality shows like ‘American Idol’. “I would never discredit anyone who is working their way up on a show like ‘American Idol’,” she said. “I think they work so hard overcoming so many obstacles just to get on the show in the first place. Then every week they are judged in front of all of America. All that pressure must be overwhelming. I give them credit for getting up on the stage.” Moore insists she “would crumble under that kind of pressure, so I think they deserve all of the success that they get.”
