RIP Christina Grimmie

I know I never allow myself to post two posts on the same date but this one worth the mention

the video that started off my curiosity. and I became a fan of hers in an instant.



not the biggest of fan. No.
I'm just a fan of hers. I watched several more of her videoblog, even bought 2 of her songs when she released them on itunes (coz, really, I couldn't download any decent ones illegally). she wasn't sign to any record company back then.



and how proud I was when, one Saturday afternoon, I was lazying around in front of the TV and something on AXN caught my attention; The Voice, Blind Audition.
and I don't know how but Grimmie came on and I was just so proud that I actually know somebody from the internet. literally, I found her from youtube and now she's on some huge TV show, auditioning. I just knew she'd turn chairs.



I think her confidence on stage was due to the fact that she was already performing on stage before she auditioned. I forgot who but she was an opening act for some huge names; was it Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez? I don't have the energy to find the video where she mentioned this.

I think I started following her on Instagram after this (Apparently I was watching the Rerun of The Voice that time so by the time I followed her on IG, she was already third place)

I see, read or play her post but I don't 'heart' her post every single time.

So, the last post of hers that I properly read but did not heart was the one she hugged a dog and the post was about a charity.

in all honesty, I haven't heard her sing or watch her vlog in such a long time. i think the one where she mentioned she was an opening act for someone was the last of her video that I ever watched.
the only update I got from her was from her IG posts.

Poor thing. She was shot after her concert 11-Jun-2016. from what I've read, she was shot on her way to a meet and greet by a guy who after that shot himself in the head.

She was younger than me and to think I could die first.

I don't know her on personal level that I feel the need to make this post but I know of her for a while now and I'd be lying if I said I don't feel something about her passing.

I finally understand the sadness people feel towards artist passing, when Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and just recently as well, Muhammad Ali passed away.
