Mandy Moore
is seen performing live at Amoeba Records promoting her new album 'Amanda Leigh'
in Hollywood, California. I'm so very excited this artist has come out with new work and you can tell by the shots Mandy is singing live - a rarity these days in the industry.

Recently Mandy was asked, "If you ran into 14-year-old Mandy Moore, what’s something you’d want her to know?"

The singer responded:

God. 14-year-old Mandy Moore. Jeez. I’d probably be pretty insulted by what I was wearing. Not that I have any fashion sense now, necessarily, but I just look back at pictures and think, Who let me wear my hair like that? Who let me wear that awful tablecloth as a skirt? Just dumb things, but I would say just try and hold onto that confidence and fearlessness when you’re younger because it slowly evaporates over time. I’m constantly searching for that similar feeling. Being on stage and performing in front of tens of thousands of people when you’re 14 -- I just remember never batting an eyelash. I was cool as a cucumber about that. But now to perform in front of a fraction of those people, I’m a nervous wreck all day and I put all this pressure on myself -- I’ve built it up to be something that it’s not. So, I’d probably go up to the younger version of myself and ask her to maintain that sense of confidence as long as I could.

I love how she admits she gets nervous on stage now.  It's true with age comes fear... for the most part.
