Mandy Moore and Backstreet

Mandy Moore said 'N Sync and Bacstreet Boys are both great bands, with different followings.

The 15 year-old singer of "Candy" has toured with 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys.

And although some people have trouble finding a difference between the two bands, Mandy says the most obvious difference between the two is the kind of crowd they attract.

"There are diffences" she told MTV radio. "They are two different groups, and they're great entertainers. They sell out shows. They have such dedicated fans. But to me, being on both tours, I really see a difference in the audience."

"With 'N Sync," she said, "it was over the summer, and it was an amphitheater tour, but I saw a lot more kids my age and a little bit older. I mean, there were some younger people there, but it was mostly around my age, like 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, maybe. And they weren't there with their parents a lot of the time. They were there with their friends."

"And on Backstreet," Moore said,"there's five-year-olds, there's ten-year-olds, there's 15-year-olds, there's 25-year-olds. There's adults, there's dads, there's moms, there's cousins, there's boyfriends.

Everybody's there. I think it's a more mixed group. And in a way, it's much better for me, because I think my music reaches people it wouldn't have reached if I were on tour with somebody else."

Mandy, who has just become the new spokesperson for Neutrogena, releases her first album, "So Real" on Decemer 7.
