"&lt;wm:embed type=\"related\"&gt;&lt;/wm:embed&gt;&lt;p&gt;Effortlessly genial and impossibly well-scrubbed, Mandy Moore is almost shimmery enough to overshadow her middling vocal talent on &lt;em&gt;Coverage&lt;/em&gt;. Taking on familiar songs, though, always unearths the rough edges beneath the polish, especially when they sound flat wrong emanating from the mouth of America&amp;apos;s peppiest nineteen-year-old. Listen to Cat Stevens&amp;apos; &amp;quot;Moonshadow&amp;quot; or the Waterboys&amp;apos; &amp;quot;The Whole of the Moon,&amp;quot; on which Moore wails, &amp;quot;While you filled the skies/I was dumbfounded by truth&amp;quot; about as convincingly as a flight attendant. Other tracks that were rendered indelible by previous vocalists &amp;#x2014; Carly Simon&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Anticipation,&amp;quot; Joe Jackson&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Breaking Us in Two&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; sound little better than &lt;em&gt;American Idol&lt;/em&gt; outtakes here. The irony is that in denaturing these songs, Moore truly makes them her own.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
