We’re ready to crush on Mandy Moore’s music all over again.
Michelle Branch
Songs she’s known for:"Everywhere,""Are You Happy Now," and "Breathe"
Why she should come back: Michelle's unique country-pop voice paired with her songwriting talents could rival most pop songs on the radio today. Back then, she stood out for being a female guitarist in addition to being a versatile singer. If she made a comeback, she could give Taylor Swift a run for her money.

Mandy Moore
Songs she’s known for:"Candy,""Crush," and "I Wanna Be With You"
Why she should come back: Aside from her voiceover work and singing in Disney's Tangled, musically, we haven't seen much of Mandy since the '00s. After taking control of her career from her record label, she experimented with more acoustic sounds. This new musical direction showcased her vocal and songwriting capability better than the straight pop songs she started her career with. If she made a return to music, she could go the Sara Bareilles or Ingrid Michaelson route and maintain a mature sound.

Mýa
Songs she’s known for:"Case of The Ex (Whatcha GonnaDo)" and "My Love Is Like... Wo"
Why she should come back: Before she became a pop star, Mýa started out as a dancer, but her youthful voice and sexual persona gave her a Janet Jackson-like appeal. She wasn't afraid to express that through street-style choreography and soft vocals. There's hardly a reason why it can't work again with some bass-heavy, dance-pop beats.

Jessica Simpson
Songs she’s known for:"I Wanna Love You Forever,""Irresistible," and "With You"
Why she should come back: In 2003, Jessica Simpson's pop career reached an all-time high after releasing her third studio album, In This Skin, amidst the success of her reality show Newlyweds. Since then, she has slowly moved away from music and turned her main focus to building her fashion empire. Jessica's girl-next-door looks made her music relatable even though few can sing like she can. We need another good pop record from her, considering how powerful her voice is.
