"Mediocre" has a negative meaning. If you say "soy un cantante mediocre", you're digging your own grave.
![]() I think "regular" and "más o menos" can do for what you want to say... Soy un cantante regular, ni bueno ni malo. El trabajo estuvo regular, ni bien ni mal. Me siento más o menos; no me siento bien, pero tampoco me siento mal. For an appreciation, you can also use "indiferente": El espectáculo me dejó indiferente, ni me gustó ni me disgustó. El espectáculo estuvo más o menos. El espectáculo estuvo regular.

"Regular" is a very comon expression (also "más o menos", and yes, it's the same. ![]() "La película estuvo más o menos" is also a valid expression.

"Más o menos" is more for things, and less for people.
"Es un actor regular" would sound better. --¿Cómo actúa Tobey Maguire? --Más o menos. Es un actor regular. (Here "mas o menos" refers to his acting, not to himself as an actor.) "Es lo mismo" is the correct expression. "Es el mismo" has an implicit subject that should have been mentioned before. --¿El hombre de la foto es el mismo que está aquí? --Sí, es el mismo.
