Jessica has had more commercial success and was a household name for a short period of time (one album only). However, she's pretty much considered a joke these days... and the chances of her coming back and making it big again are slim.
Mandy had done a hell of a lot more with her career overall and has been a lot more varied as well. She's also had some critical success.
So for me, it's definitely Mandy.

Jessica may have had a better record on the Hot 100 but in the end they are both music flops.. I think Mandy is more respected when it comes to film, so I voted for her. She also has recently gotten some praise from critics for her music, so some type of mini-comeback isn't out of the question for her. Jessica seems desperate now and will try any genre.

Jessica. She had a hugely successful beauty line, Dessert Treats, and while married to Nick her career was at it's ultimate peak. Wasn't she named most beautiful woman in the world at one point? Although you really can't say anything about her "Career" now, the same can be said for Mandy.  |

Definitely Mandy. I can still see Mandy being around years from now doing movies. Unlessshe has a breakthrough again, Jessica would just be a joke being done in skits.

Both.
Mandy Moore had more successful films. As Jessica had a #1 pop hit and a hit television show.

Mandy, because she hasn't completely used up her storage of charm & potential. I think she'll end up everyone's favorite underdog, while Jessica Simpson will remain an embarassing footnote of the 2000's celebreality binge.

I can't remember any successful Mandy Moore albums/songs/movies/shows. Jessica's a joke now but she did have her 15 minutes where she was sellin albums, crankin out moderate hits and had a hit tv show. Mandy never really had anything except for those flop movies where shes a dying teen and all that bs.

None of her movies have made over 45 million. At least jessica at one time was very very popular. ALL i know of mandy moore is she was Andy Roddicks girlfriend a couple of years ago... |

I went with Mandy Moore, but that's probably just because I have more exposure to her (stint on Entourage, starring role in American Dreamz, etc.) I wouldn't say either of them has much going on as far as their music careers but I think Moore has a decent thing going actress-wise, at least enough that she can keep herself steadily employed and not be hurting for cash.

Mandy Moore. She's far more respected than Jessica when it comes to films, and I think that she has far more potential to advance her career than Jessica, who's just a joke these days and is unlikely to reach her peak popularity again.

ALL i know of mandy moore is she was Andy Roddicks girlfriend a couple of years ago... clearly you're out of touch with reality if you think Jessica's career is more successful than Mandy's. Princess Diaries grossed $108,248,956 domestically. Mandy's totals according to this site www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?view=Actor&id=mandymoore.htmLifetime Gross Total (10): $220,633,687 Average: $22,063,369 Opening Gross Average (7): $9,314,504 (Wide Releases Only) v. jessica who set a new record for box office success with her latest movie Blond Ambition: Jessica Simpson may also have set a record at the box office. Her latest film, Blonde Ambition, co-starring Luke Wilson, took in just $1,190 over the weekend. |

You are attributing Princess Diaries to Mandy Moore? Wowzers. Overall I would pick Jessica because she made more cash and I am greedy She sold more, had more hits, had a few semi success tours, and raked in millions upon millions upon millions upon millions in endorsements, performance agreements, and other deals. Mandy is more respected and cool and talented, but in pure profit I would take Jessica. In my less greedy moments, I would rather have Mandy's career. |

You are attributing Princess Diaries to Mandy Moore? Wowzers. was Mandy Moore NOT in Princess Diaries? umm yes I believe she was and she wasn't just a cameo she was in the movie throughout. was she responsible for it grossing that much money? of course not but Jessica Simpson certainly wasn't responsible for Dukes of Hazzard either.... so movies featuring Mandy v. those featuring Jessica? Mandy comes out on top... Employee of the Month anyone? HAHAHA moneywise Jessica has it but at the end of a career who footnotes how much money someone made? It's about accomplishments and respect IMO... Mandy is taken seriously whereas Jessica is the tuna or chicken girl.... and Jessica traded in her marriage for her fame which just makes her a mediawhore IMO. |

ROFL no one's gonna write anything about Mandy Moore's career. She's a failed teenybopper. At least Jessica was at one point successful even if she's a joke now. Mandy Moore's never been relevant enough to be a joke. |

I'm not making fun, I'm just keepin it real. None of Mandy's albums have done remotely well -not one peaked within the top 10 of the BB 200. You can say her music is 'better' but that's entirely subjective. |

Mandy has the better career. She hasnt had a flop movie yet, she's had her fair share of pop hits. "Candy" was a big hit, and "I Wanna Be With You" was a Top 20 single, and her biggest hit yet, and "Crush" was a moderate sized hit, and her first #1 on TRL when it was popular, so thats pretty big. Plus, Mandy has sold over 8,000,000 albums, thats pretty good. So lets compare both Mandy and Jessica: Mandy:A. Successful movie career, and one of the most remembered and loved movies of the 2000's under her belt (A Walk To Remember). B. Has sold over 8,000,000 albums with just three albums. And sold more with re-issues. Has had 2 Billboard hits. And 6 Worldwide Hits. C. Owns her own million dollar clothing line (M'Blem) which has high annual revenues. D. Has achieved critical acclaim overall. E. Had an MTV show (The Mandy Show) in 1999-2000 that drew in over 1.8 million viewers at its high point. Jessica:A. Has a flopping film career, set a new lowest grossing for limited released films. B. Has a moderately good musical career, has at least 2 or 3 Billboard hits on her resume, and multiple Worldwide hits. C. Had a successful reality show but lost popularity after its ending. D. Has not achieved critical success overall. Overall. Mandy is the money maker between the two, while Jessica has had a moderately successful musical career, she isnt much successful at anything else. Mandy hasnt been a joke because she puts out better material and acts better, so there is no need to make fun of her... I'm not making fun, I'm just keepin it real. None of Mandy's albums have done remotely well -not one peaked within the top 10 of the BB 200. You can say her music is 'better' but that's entirely subjective. But the fact that ALL of her albums sell above gold with lower debuts show that her sales are steady. And to whoever said you cant relate the "Princess Diaries" to Mandy is wrong as well, Mandy is a main character in the film, it was her acting debut, and got heavy press from it. |

Jessica Simpson without a doubt. She was practically the biggest star out at one point in time. Jessica is more of a household name than Mandy Moore ever will be, regardless of talent.
