How cool would it be to have your favorite singer come to your school to hang out and do a concert?  Ask Nikelle Riggs.  She won a video competition and the grand prize was to have Mandy Moore come to her school.

The contest, titled “The Extraordinary High School Competition,” was put on by Photobucket. Participants were required to submit a “video remix” to one of Moore’s new songs. The video had to capture why the participant’s high school was so “extraordinary.”

“I’ve watched all her movies and have her CDs,” Riggs said excitedly. “This makes me love her even more.” Riggs’ video was picked from hundreds of entries.  They were narrowed down to five finalists, and Moore chose the final winner.

“I thought it was just so sweet and I could tell she did it with the help of other friends in school,” Moore said. “It was the one that made me feel nostalgic ... and seemed the most representative of what I imagined high school to be like.”

During the 20 minute, seniors-only concert, Moore sang acoustic versions of songs from her new album, “Wild Hope,” out in June. “You’re one amazing school and that’s why I’m here,” she yelled to Vintage High’s Class of 2007.

At the end of the day, the class of 2007 had quite a memory.  “This is the last big thing (before we graduate), and it’s a big thing,” Riggs said with a smile.

More recently, Mandy was spotted showing every emotion in the book during a back and forth with her companion at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Enjoy the pictures of Mandy’s little public outburst - taking place this past Saturday (May 26).
