It has been over two months since the world lost the talented and adored Christina Grimmie. Christina’s manager posted on the late singer’s Twitter that the four part music video, “Ballad of Jessica Blue,” for her “Side A” EP would still be released.
The music video for “Snow White”, the first of four songs on the EP, was released on August 11th. Fans took to Twitter to share their reactions to Christina’s acting, dancing and to share memories of their interactions with the late YouTube star.
Christina Grimmie left a mark on the world that will never be forgotten or taken for granted. After her tragic passing, fellow Youtubers and main stream celebrities have shared their experiences with, not only their fellow artist and colleague, but their friend. Kurt Schneider posted a tribute to Christina on his YouTube channel and stated it was one of the most difficult videos he had ever made. Sam Tsui uploaded a heavy ballad rendition of “Just A Dream” in honor of his late friend, whom he had originally covered the song with back in 2010.
When the world heard what happened to Christina, I could feel the atmosphere growing very dark. Christina was full of happiness and positivity and wanted her fans to feel the same way. She prided herself on being a great role model and speaking to people through her music. Christina wasn’t afraid to be who she was in a world full of people trying to place her in a category. She taught her fans how to be brave and strong in a world that will constantly try to tear you down. That is why Christina Grimmie will never be forgotten.
Christina Grimme’s The Ballad of Jessica Blue is a story of self discovery. I have no doubt that this story will inspire people around the world to find who they are and be proud of that. Thank you, Christina.
With Love xoxo
