It's so sad that such a talented singer got shot


I want to slap the people who disliked this 😡 How can they be so heartless?! 😡


I don't know why this came up recommended. It's beautiful but I wish it hadn't. my heart broke on this day. I never knew Christina but YouTube makes us all seem much closer and more connected. my heart hurts.


still watch this and cry i miss her a lot


I didn't really listen to  Christina much  before she died just a few songs and without knowing she did that day I felt really upset and I started crying for no reason In The middle of class and i got out of school and my friend who was a massive fan told me she died all of a sudden I started bursting out in tears I didn't realise how amazing and inspiring she was before she was gone 💞


no please when you kinda broke down i kinda broke down and i'm not even a hardcore fan of christina (although i do love her) this isn't fair. She was amazing


😭😭😭I miss Christina so much, i dont want to believe any or it😭 who could be so heartless to take away such a beautiful girl on the inside and out! Like what kind of world do we live in? First pluto isnt a plant then Christina gets taken away from us... I miss her so much😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


I cried during lunch and I didn't know how to explain to my dad why


Can't believe it's already been a year since that sad day....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


It's so sad to think about it as her last song to the world. <b>Her anthem</b>

It's so sad to think about it as her last song to the world. *Her anthem*


Think if there had been one little change to that day. Like if she had gotten really sick and had to cancel the concert, she might still be alive today. 😢 It's so sad that people can be okay with doing such horrible horrible things. 😢


Does anybody know the chords that's are used hoping to do a piano cover for this song??


2 terrible shootings within... what, 3 days? 2 days even? I wonder how petrified other artists are to go on tour... #RipChristinaGrimmie


Im not trying to kill the vibe, cause this cover is absolutely beautiful, good job again. But what kind of Uke do you have? Ive been searching all over and I cant find it.

I think its a tanglewood concert Uke - google it, or google what ukulele does doddleoddle use, and it will come up xx


I never heard many of Christina's songs. Hell, had it not been for the publicity around her death, I likely never would have known that she even existed. But this song, this video, has brought me to tears, just imagining the fact that she will never be able to see how much of an impact she has made on the world. Many people have been so deeply impacted by this, and it is equal parts terrible and inspiring. Terrible, because this happened in the first place, and yet inspiring because of how many people wish to be a change.


I didn't even know her and this whole past few days have fucked me up so badly.. Things like this aren't suppose to happen, things need to change.


I think there is so much anger in the world that people forget about peace. So many things happen that affect lots of people's lives, that could have never happened if there was no hate. Now I know in reality there is hate, but I think we all need to try our best to stay happy, help people in need, and be kind because you never know what is going on in a person's life. So please everyone be kind. We can make a difference!


Honestly its almost been a month, and it still doesn't feel real. I don't know if its the fact that I basically grew up around her of sorts or not but it just, doesn't seem real. I think its hard especially when its someone you've looked up to for years.


Christina would've loved this, Dodie.<br>She may be "gone", but she isn't at the same time. She isn't here but will always be with us. The internet and humanity tells us she is gone but she isn't gone in our hearts. She'll always be remembered and I really hope there is a change. It needs to happen soon, we can't let this continue :c

Phanic! At the Badlands discø with Crybaby


she was such a beautiful person, with so much potential, taken so soon..  this last week in the USA has been disgusting and change needs to happen. i'm not leaving spam on a video this beautiful i swear, but i just made a video ranting about the situation in USA last week and i thought i'd just let some people know just incase they wanna watch more opinions on this tragic situation.


I feel you. I've listened to christina for so long. But bringing up the gun laws wasn't appropriate even if it seemed to be. Should've kept the video strictly as a tribute and nothing more.


no doubt shes dancing to this in heaven Dodie ❤ it's so so sad! 💔


at the end i just wanted to go and hug dodie tight and never let go


people disliked this , but it's ok the like are 100 times mores , the world has more positive than negative for CHRISSY , RIP :(


we only appreciate them when they're gone


RIP ❤❤❤❤🙏❤❤❤❤

RIP ❤❤❤❤🙏❤❤❤❤


We will all deeply miss Christina Grimmie, and as much as we didn't want her to go, We all know shes in a better place. She would not want us to be sad, but to enjoy life and the little time we have on earth. That is the message she would've wanted to tell us. R.I.P, Christina Grimmie.


Omg Dodie Almost starting crying at the end😞😞


this is so sad and I feel bad as a bystander who didn't know Christina very well and I wasn't a part of her fan base but I am a christian but I feel so bad for being sad because I don't wanna be one of those people disrespectfully moping about her just because its a "trend" right now on social media but Ive seen some of her twitter posts and her videos now and its so sad I don't even know why im crying when Ive never met her or known who she is until now

she was such a strong christian


I can hardly even believe what this video is and that it even has to exist. So crazy how you never know what's to come in the future or who's next.


I watched her video where she sang with Shane and how they joked about her shooting everyone by picking up a gun and accidently using it, it made me really upset and I didnt know christina like everyone did, I found out about her and loved her and then realized, shes gone. Forever.


this made me so sad. you're really good though


someone i knew died today and i came across this and started crying


Beautiful song, tragic circumstances, their needs to be gun laws. Honestly its not like you cut your apples with full autos, you can do without them, the only think they are good for is killing. All you have to do is look at some of the other countries to know that there is a problem that needs fixing at home.

not here. not now. when? soon. but not now.

I'm not saying sweep it under the rug but this is exactly what shouldn't be happening 12 hours or so after her death... comparing and using her in a controversial matter just as she died? really? bring this back when It's not inappropriate.

but to respond to this debate. Gun control WILL NOT make it any harder for people to get guns they want to shoot people up with. There are black markets, local suppliers, dealers, etc that can easily EASILY supply you with a clean paperless automatic if you so choose and have the money. they exist everywhere and I highly doubt most criminals with intent of murder use legally purchased guns with a paper trail. so please do research and return maybe in a week? or a month? definitely not 12+ hours.

Edit: Don't believe me about illegal gun trade? I've known shady ass people in my life who openly talked about their past involving this, hell one fucker still buys clean guns from one of them if he feels like it.

If not here, where? If not now, when? <br>Something needs to happen. Things cannot stay how they currently are. For some people this is a wake up call, for others it's just a reminder. Look at other countries; they have much stricter gun laws and they have much fewer killings by gun. The first step is to acknowledge it, the next one is to act against it. You may argue that 'it's not guns that kill people it's people that kill people' and that stricter gun laws won't stop determined people from getting guns.. No? Well it certainly makes it a lot fucking harder.

sigh... you can illegally obtain more than just automatics with little issue. please do not start this debate here and now.


People cried and loved this song, when their phone was upside down, they thought they pressed the like button. Or even they pressed the dis- i -like button. 😋😋💜


Her singing isn't good but I respect the amount of love she put into it

@[Vape Naysh]BionicMex It does require grammar. You just choose not use it.

BasicallyNoChill it's probably cause she was very choked up.

@[Vape Naysh]BionicMex Are you? Because what I am seeing, you can't even capitalize the first letter of you sentence.


This reminds me a lot of my friend (not really close, but still). He died in a motorcycle crash. He died in the age of 15, three days after his birthday.


I still miss her.. why did she had to go? The world is getting mad..


We still remember, whatever is happening right now in the world


instead of focusing on the dislikes like focus on the 70k plus that liked this video, at least they have hearts


This is beautiful. Rest in peace, Christina.<br>Unfortunately, there was just another shooting in Orlando, Florida, the same place where Christina Grimmie was shot, last night. It was a mass shooting, the deadliest in U.S. history. Over 50 people were fatally shot at a gay nightclub, and even more were injured. It's being called the worst U.S. terrorist attack since 9/11. This is so heartbreaking. Prayers for Christina's family and for the families of the victims of the Orlando shooting last night.

ooh :(( my heart broke in pieces when she cried


i dont understand why someone would do horrible things :-<


the most horrible things happen to the most great people r.i.p christina grimmie


I always watched Grimmie. X god bless her


It is sad that this happened but Christina was a christian so even though her time on earth was short she is listening to her fans sing to her in heaven.


today, it's been a year since she died. rest in peace angel


watching Christina when she singing at YouTube and starting to get famous and join the voice and opening a concert and now is so sad .


close your eyes
walk through a field of flowers
hear dis song


Thank you for this Videos
Make a Singing For Christina .

Rest In Peace Christina Grimmie

I'm not very familiar with Christina but I'm sure she was a wonderful person. it makes me really unhappy to know that she passed away at such a young age


think of it this way. if you were a higher power, choosing who lives and dies, see the world as a garden of flowers. which one would you pick to give the you mother or fiance or grandma? the most beautiful flower gets picked first.


If gun laws are to happen, and happened earlier... So many great souls would still be alive today.


the last part got me so bad <b>cries in spanish</b>

If you sing it with me,
Possibly maybe.

If you're singin' off key,
It won't matter to me,
'Cause I'm feeling sunny.

this whole thing still feels like a horrible joke to me and im so sad that its not


What's up with the world today. There's been a lot of deaths, first Christina Grimme and 50 gays in a gay club got shot and some left injured. I don't like how the world is today.

sick as frick what's wrong with looking up to someone you really adore? He might not be the best role model, but I like him. I'm sorry if you have a problem with me. Lol I probably sound really triggered but I just had to say it.

sick as frick uhm, are you implying that as a good thing or...?

"gays" it's gay people* plus it wasn't just gay men. all aspects of the lgbt community mostly gay men there though.

Jo Cox, if any Americans see this she was a British MP (Member of Parliment) with two small children and she got shot and killed by some psycho who i hope gets locked up for life. This world sucks.

and now the MP, can't remember her name, but an amazing person

102 people were shot at Pulse. 49 dead and 53 injured. If anyone doesn't think that that's sick and wrong they are honestly despicable.

+Pepijn Vink they were not necessarily lgbt, some may have been heterosexual and just went to a gay bar

+Lollo Snygg they were lgbt, not necessarilly gay

What about those 10 women and girls that were set on fire the other day. No coverage from the media on that, probably because it's a way of life in the Middle East.

this is how it's always  been because of hate

Some girl was attempted kid napped the same day in orlando

+bykailaandvanessa I absolutely agree, im part of the lgbtq community myself, I just think referring to those killed as "gays" is a little, I don't know, harshly worded. They were gay people, or people who were somewhere on the lgbt spectrum, there might have been people there who were unsure of their sexuality. I agree with you it's absolutely significant that pulse was targeted because of the fact that it was a gay bar and my heart has been breaking the more I hear about it:( I just thought calling the dead "gays" was a bit dehumanising but I don't think it was meant badly.

plus all the innocent Syrian citizens that die every day :(

The thing is people dont see that... Theres more than just 50 people that die in club or something... People are dieing every day because of wars and hunger and things like that. People just dont realize it. People start noticing when the disaster acctually happens. Its so sad. This world can be so so cruel

@steph ynez Yup :( 69 people so far dead last time i checked. But noone pays attention to that.

@MynicknameisViolet wow realy? i was in chicago yesterday and i had no  idea

the world has come to the end my friend.

+Rae Ann either way, you're missing the point. majority of people at a "gay" bar would of course be gay. I don't understand why it's so important to be 100% factually correct

2016 has been a horrible year of death :(<br>May they all rest in peace

2016 has been a horrible year of death :(
May they all rest in peace

+Lollo Snygg how do you know they were gay? Anyone is allowed in gay clubs. I know plenty of people who think the atmosphere in gay clubs is better than the "average" club. Sure I'm sure a lot of them were gay, but you can't just generalize EVERYONE as gay just bc of the type of bar it was.

+Musicxxxlove04 but they were gay so why not say so?

+RadiantLime people maybe? Or just human beings that were at a gay club.

+RadiantLime you can say 50 homosexual men just saying😂

You mean what's wrong with America? Most of the rest of the civilised world are fine.

How was that funny? What do you want me to say instead of gays

Remarkably safer, more equitable, with markedly longer lifespans, and with more individual empowerment than ever before?

Don't let a few bad things make you lose perspective.  The world is constantly trending towards better.

+steph ynez 55,000 people where murdered in Brazil last year with 50 people being the biggest mass shooting in America we should be pretty damn grateful because that's extremely low compared to a lot of countries

People die everyday in horrific ways, and some don't have anyone to mourn for them, this stuff just made the news. (Not saying it's any less terrible)

+steph ynez don't forget the chicago shootings that have been happening since friday...:'(

+DAT boi they never implied they weren't.


It's almost been a full year and it still doesn't feel real.


I'm from florida, I was kinda shocked something like that happened so close to home


; ( :( I really miss her too she was a great singer and it makes me scared when I think about it it also make me sad...her music will live forever...can't belive she is dead I can't believe anything about this and the gun...Kevin...christina...why did he kill her...she didn't do anything..


I think there's something in my eye :/ <3


Wow guys I can't believe I made It big , dodie is really nothing without her singer songwriter named Brian Ann


Rip christina why cant misss u tooo much love this song she would love this well done if only rip stood for return if possible she didnt deserve a this plz come back


who are the 5 heartless people who disliked I'll fight you


I still can't believe she's gone. It upsets me more than anything that she would have performed in San Fransico tomorrow on June 15th (my birthday) but she's gone.. And it's so hard to process. I STILL BELIEVE IT.


Bet this would of made her smile xxx I think she would of liked it


At the end, I just heard to voices, as if the both of you were singing together..🙁


its hard to believe its been a whole entire year


IT Doesn't Seem real she is gone.. I still can't get over it, Rest In Peace. Shes in a better place now


Terrible tragedy but a great cover. Christina wouldn't have wanted everyone to stop meet and greets etc and yes, she'd have loved this I'm sure xx


Dodie, please can you film a minute insta video telling me (Rosanna) that life is going to be ok. that mental health won't kill everyone i care about. i love you and you are amazing x such an inspiration


After the gay club shooting and Grimmie's death in Orlando, I am scared to go there, let alone get out of my house bc someone was given a gun and let out to kill innocent people. No one should ever have to feel this way.


You're so beautiful and her dead breaks my heart😭💔💔

@UniCaticorn<br>yes, I think he had nothing to loose, bc someone with family, friends and aims in life wouldn´t do something horrible.

@UniCaticorn
yes, I think he had nothing to loose, bc someone with family, friends and aims in life wouldn´t do something horrible.

+jessie sobol that's not true. they didn't know her. please don't spread false rumors.

+Ruby Dunn everywhere i have read about it has said that the man killed himself on purpose,either way its terrible :(

+thelastofrobyn apparently her brother tackled him after he shot her and one of his guns went off in the struggle. It is just so sad :(

apparently he was a "deranged fan" maybe he killed her and then himself to be closer to her,bad decision she didnt deserve to die

+ChrisPel it's said that the killer also killed themselves... Pretty sad this stuff happens.

+ChrisPel Same, what gives someone the motive to do something like that?


Why would you take someone’s life in a meet&greet tho thats just fucked up

(I dont know her i just heard a twitch streamer do a cover of this song and i like it)


this has more views than Christina's actual video


holy shit this is heart breaking. then last clip... ouch


Wow. I feel love ... that voice , Marry meeeee !?!


I refuse to believe that all of this actually happened😫


ich liebte sie und verfolgte sie seit ihrem ersten video :(


It's been months... It doesn't feel real... I keep thinking she's alive and okay. But then I realize...


It's been 10 months and I still can't believe it


Ive cried so much today, theres some disgusting people in this world.


The most beautiful flowers are chosen to die.


The people who disliked...

why though...

+Blake Morris no, they like the fact that this is in her memory

People who liked it like the fact she died.

most likely dislike bots which is fucked up

Clearly they don't like the song or don't think it is good enough

Welllll death is upsetting. And not surprisingly there are some people who may get upset at videos made so soon after a person's death, thinking the poster is using the recent tragedy to blatantly attain attention on their social media, (which sadly does happen, and is disgusting) but that's not the case here. This video's intention is a sincere and respectful homage to Christina Grimmie. RIP.

Probably just miss clicked the like button ._.

+MrBaconParadise welcome to the Internet..... no point in responding to people like thay

@Epicjoe Not gonna lie, a little bit insensitive, and a little bit cringey that you just said "Because DEEZ NUTZ"

Some people could think this is a way to cash in on the situation<br> ( i am not one of those and think it was an amazing tribute to her)

+HTTYDFangirl15 that people dislike such a sad video I mean, not sad that bots should dislike more videos

+Jolin Teo I do too but unfortunatley bots aren't that active in terms of dislikes... it's kind of sad

+HTTYDFangirl15 possibly<br>but id liked to think that it was bots

+HTTYDFangirl15 possibly

honestly i think their mostly bots that are disliking<br>if they aren't bots and shame on their inhumane act of not understanding others' pain and sadness

if they aren't bots and shame on their inhumane act of not understanding others' pain and sadness

+MrBaconParadise Gun laws were only meant for small militias in case we elected a dictator so we could fight back. They were never meant to be used for hunting, self defense, etc.... It's pretty sad people are defending them for those reasons...

@ashley 5827 i mean the bigger issue is the gun control problem, but this video is also looking at the death of a real person here, which i don't think was designed to be a gun control plug...

@BuildA Snowman Again, fair enough, but surely you would want to embrace the celebration of a life and help raise awareness on the overall of gun laws in the US, as oppose to using the dislike button which generally means "i dislike this video" and not "i am upset because of what this video is about".

A lot of people dislike videos talking about someone's death as a way of saying that they don't like that that person died.

@Annie Fair enough, but i don't know if that is reason enough to dislike, especially due to the circumstances...

I agree but maybe they didn't like the sight of Dodie being really upset and having to stop during a song to almost cry


the sad part is so many teens die everyday and don't get noticed. it's just so sad such an amazing young girl had to go so soon. what kind of monster had the thought that he should end an innocent young girls life. I just don't understand


and still, there are some people who pressed dislike button :(


it's almost been a year but this still doesn't feel real


I still can't process that she's gone. When I first found out I was scrolling through fb at around 1am (texas time) and I saw a friend liked some news about Christina Grimmie, I kind of froze and thought this must be one of those fake news pages and I clicked it anyways and the whole time I was thinking this website is a joke. Nope around 3am she was really gone 😓💔


And now the worst mass shooting in the U.S. EVER has happened in Orlando as well. FIFTY PEOPLE DEAD. I seriously hate this country sometimes. Gun laws are crazy and so... incorrect. Thank you so much for this video, dods. x


Sorry I know it hurts when your inspiration dies God bless


this was posted on my birthday... which is also the day my dad died... June 11, 2005


This is absolutely beautiful. I'm trying not to cry before school. Christina would be grateful xx


Its so nice 💙💚💛i miss here to we miss her


I miss her 😢😪I never got to meet her that was my goal


Bless you, may you know the comfort of Jesus, the Lord whom Christina loved and served.


Worst video ever.
And by worst I mean Christina shouldn't be gone.
I have no words. Only tears 😢😢😢😢😢😢.😢😢😢😢😢😢
This cover is really beautiful you did a superb job.


I knew Christina in person we we're good friend and now the thing that happened to her just broke my heart and I well miss you Christina R.I.P CHRISTINA I WELL MISS YOU ALOT 😭😭😭💔 BUT NOW I KNOW THAT  YOU HAVE A BETTER LIFE WITH THE LORD GOODBYE CHRISTINA BYE FRIEND😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔


The people who disliked just mean that they cried and didn't enjoy it because they are still grieving (that said I did like the video)


at the end little clip i started crying. i hate all of these shootings that are happening and im so so angry over the horrible gun control laws.


WAIT<br>THIS HAS A MILLION VIEWS OMG DODIE

Which it deserves because it was beautiful and an amazing tribute


Still can't believe Christina died. She was a huge inspiration to me. Crying rn.


I can't believe this was two weeks ago. So much has happened since. Bad things. What is our world coming to? Scary.


You sang beautifully, Dodie. Rest in peace, Christina.


Dear God,
I know that Christina is with You now. She's living with Jesus! I'm so glad that God is alive.
:) :D


3 months later and it still doesn't feel real..


dont never buy no weed from the gas station bro

I really don't understand all of these comments saying nows not the time? Music is a form of expression and quoting song lyrics from ur fave band is just expressing your feelings and thoughts. I'm also misty eyed💓

+Tronchobar phandom calm down don't you even realize what my reference means? Its to share my feelings about christinas death.

do you really think now is the time to make a fucking tøp reference

Дарья Гришакова

+dog mom ari This REALLY isn't the time for the TØP logo thingy..

+Anita Turri it could have been tøp but "misty eyed" doesn't have to be a refrence.

+Anita Turri  all i said was that i am misty eyed which means that im sad about what has happened. I dont see whats wrong with that

It's...really not the time for this, my dude.

Really? Can you leave your tøp comments on videos about tøp?

+Grace what does the phandom have to do with this?

Wow, so unclassy, I wish the phandom had never discovered top.


sure ive commented before.thx for being my place to come to when i need to remember how much i misss grimmie


It's the 23rd of may 2017 and things havent changed.  A bomb went off at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester UK, killing 22 people and injuring 50. You'd think after this, security would be better. My heart is heavy and I cannot express my sadness.


I love her I did a cover of with  love too on my other page DTYM CLICKANDREA you know she me want to sing again.


I adored Christina. But trying to send a bunch of emotional 16 year old girls who don't know anything about the 2A nor do you especially the fact you aren't even an American is disrespectful. Don't use this as an excuse to bash our laws. The reason we own a Gun is because it is our right it doesn't matter if you disagree or don't understand it, killers will kill - people are sick. The world is cruel. We should be focusing on how much we adored Christina and how we will miss her and make her memory live on. She is with her Lord and Savior. Rejoice.

+edbsmartie
That is only one part of what the second amendment says. The second amendment is "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed". The key part is "the right of the people". People are allowed to own a gun. This was not a mass shooting, the murderer targeted only Christina. The murderer also had a knife on him. His intentions were not only to shoot Christina, his intentions were to murder her.

So awful that this is still happening. #prayforvegas


Is a wonderful song, but, make me cry :(


I am FUCKING upset about this! Lost Talent, Wasted Talent. <br>God this make angry! HOW COULD WE LOOSE SUCH A TALENT! WHERE DO I PUT MY EXPECTATIONS FOR FUTURE GOOD MUSIC IN!?!?! FFS

I am FUCKING upset about this! Lost Talent, Wasted Talent.
God this make angry! HOW COULD WE LOOSE SUCH A TALENT! WHERE DO I PUT MY EXPECTATIONS FOR FUTURE GOOD MUSIC IN!?!?! FFS

did he even know how hard it is to find such an ispiration!?


I love christina soo much I wish that her death wasn't true..


Uh oh, tears .. They're coming, they're coming, they've come ☹☹☹


I was already tearing up but at that I just let rip. I didn't even know of Christina but the fact that she won't be able to live for the moment again is so fucking sad.

+D1G1TALSYNAPS3<br>-1 to you for pushing a political agenda and showing emotional ignorance.

+D1G1TALSYNAPS3
-1 to you for pushing a political agenda and showing emotional ignorance.

@***** I think you've misread my comment, I totally disagree with you.

+D1G1TALSYNAPS3 i don't think that's what she meant....

No kidding. It was a beautiful video until she ruined it with something she knows nothing about.


I wish I had listened to her songs before I found out she died, I listened to songs a ton the day I found out, she will forever be my idol, she didn't deserve to die


My heart tells me she can't be dead but in my head she is dead. She was only 22. Your not supposed to die at 22! I want to cry but I try not to. Why would someone do that to such a amazing and nice person. But now shes an amazing angel up in heaven😖😃😖


Holy shit how many onions are being cut in my room right now. Get out of here hidden chefs


She inspired you to start a YouTube channel? You've never mentioned her once.


I didn't even know who Christina Grimmie was until she died, but this made me cry. America's gun laws need to change. Because  people should not die at the age of 22. Because LGBT people should not be shot and killed in what was their safe space. Because a 19 year old should not have died in that 'safe' space. Because toddlers should not be able to pick up a gun and accidentally kill their sibling and have to live with that for the rest of their life. Because a person who hates people for who they are should not be able to easily buy a military grade assault rifle and kill those people they hate. Because people who want the ability to murder other people should not be given that ability. Because children are being killed and people still don't seem to care. Because they still want to carry a gun more than they want people to be safe.


To everyone say this world is terrible, its really not, you cant let all the bad stuff over throw the good stuff.


Wow even leafy felt for her and paid his respects


I don't know if I'd call this sad. I'm mad. Not in a "grrr i gotta break something" kinda mad way just a.. i'm just generally mad at the universe right now. I guess sad is better than mad, maybe? Less potential property damage.

I just deleted a bunch of stuff. You're welcome. It was boring.

Thanks for the song. It was nice. helpful. You're not the only one trying to work through this. Between this and Pulse it's been a depressing weekend. Misery loves company, I guess? Loved your cover. I like to imagine she would have too.


i found out this just cause of the vid...i am shocked...


Dodie, can do you a cover of Piece by Piece by Kelly Clarkson?


Christina 😭 Thank you for this frand. I miss mommy nuggets. Hays


It seriously takes a YouTube artist being shot to have Dodie to reach the trending section of YouTube?

But why I wasn't criticizing Dodie or the artist that was killed but just the algorithm on YouTube


she wouldnt want us to be sad, she is probobly sme whee in this world again, i know it.


You can really tell she inspired you the words in this song are similar to the format you write yours in Dodie. I loved her to I've been marking atriums video to her all day. This sounded lovely Dodie and you did it justice 💕

+doddleoddle you made me cry just wachting may Christina R.I.P 😥🙏

I can't watch Dodie without crying/smiling. I love you Dodie you're such a beautiful person


I was so close to sobbing

No, no wait, I am sobbing.

R.I.P

I'm not crying it's just the food it's too spicy


the bit about the gun laws is sooooo relevant rn, it's utterly ridiculous


I cried this morning when I found out the news, at least she is in heaven, God gained an angel today, my prays are with her family and friends. #ripchristina

+Wonderful Death and for all we know she could be right, either way, what's the point of bashing someone's religion, it's entirely their choice and opinion.

+Wonderful Death honestly it doesn't matter to me, because I'm not religious, I was just saying lmao

All of you guys bashing this girl realize that Christina was very openly Christian, right??

+Michiel Alberts +Wonderful Death
Do you have to turn this into a religious argument??

Atheist, Christian, Muslim. Gay,
Straight. We have all suffered from a tragic loss not only of a beautiful talent, but from form the loss of humanity. In your argument, in the shooter that killed Christina in Orlando, and the shooter the killed 50 people in Orlando the light after.

Wow! Are you guys really so ignorant, that you just have to poison everyone here with your hate?! Does religion really matter here?! This video says nothing about religion, so let's not bring it here! I'm not saying God definitely exists or doesn't, It just doesn't matter here! Try to have a little respect for a beautiful young girl who had so much to give, then it was just ended! You can still argue, just not here, please!

All you atheists bashing this girl for saying heaven got an angel, just shut up. She has a right to believe what she believes, and you have no right to harass her for it. That's called "bigotry".

And this is no place to debate over the existence of heaven and God. This is a video dedicated to a person we lost, and you should treat it just as respectfully as you would treat a funeral or gravestone.

She was such a wonderful girl. And people she was a christian so saying she went to Heaven isn't a bad thing.

+Radiance That's your opinion, grow up and let others have their own opinions rather than causing arguments because of the fact you're pushing your opinions onto others

have you not seen the John Lewis advert?

+Amanda Astorga I understand that you don't believe what +dene sings does, but that doesn't mean you have to be so rude about it. Where ever Christina is, I hope that she is happy and at peace. (I believe in heaven, but I just wanted to make this comment more religiously open to all)

+Amanda Astorga Beliefs are meant to be shared in any form of way that's called freedom of speech. You just don't agree with the way this person is expressing their belief and there is no such thing as a "right or wrong" when it comes to beliefs since they're just beliefs, it's alright though because you can't do anything about it so most people debate or ignore the comments that they don't agree with, also I didn't know the simple expression of a person's belief on something can withhold others from expressing theirs.

@Amanda Astorga well heaven obviously doesn't exist so imma go ahead and point out that fact

+Wonderful Death I'm agnostic, and I gotta say...don't point that kinda shit out when people are talking about death. Let them believe that the person who died is going to some place better than our shitty world. Instead of pointing out what's probably the obvious thing, let them hold on to the idea that they're happier in some fantasy place or whatever.

+Wonderful Death some people believe some don't, but don't say one is wrong and one is right, beliefs are allowed to be shared but not in a negative way, and not to put down others beliefs. Also this is a video dedicated to a life lost. Don't start hate. Just let people express. Thank you and have a nice day.


oKAY I JUST CLICKED ON THIS LIKE OH IVE HEARD THIS COVER BEFORE AND I WANT TO HEAR IT AGAIN BUT IT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE JUNE 10 2017 LIKE OKAY THE UNIVERSE TRYING TO MAKE NE CRY RN


if she wasn't dead by now I would probably be in love with her and I am going to try and watch  all of her videos right now but I'm a little to late😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


That's so cute I feel so bad for you though I miss her to


man that's so sad she got shot at a meet and greet

@DarkSecrets InOurHearts<br>like American brains when you mention gun control?

its horrendous! cant believe it!! :( she was amazing

@HI THERE There are crazy people out there....

Why would anyone just shoots her? She was genuine and she didnt deserve this

@Purple-Giraffe true, but life has to come to an end no matter what. The way one dies should be peaceful and not so horrifcly

+Home-Less Batman Gaming yeah but they shouldn't die by getting murdered

Everyone dies...its sad, but it's reality

I'm glad she's resting in a better place. She will be remembered forever, not only in my heart... in everyone else's as well.

At least she died doing what she loved. If that's any consolation

Yes, she was just getting going. Destined to be a star. Fate's finger is certainly very fickle.

+staygulf83 and the sad part they wouldn't say that if she got a chance to live more and become more famous

In years to come they'll say "look I've got Christina Grimmie's autograph" and the people will say "Who?"

the people who already got her autograph are gonna cry more lookig at the autograph later :|

+Cheeri nos why not? this is a perfectly suitable place to discuss the gun laws. This isn't just the death of a much loved person, but an addition to the gun crime statistics in America. Its important to discuss it so we can stop things like this happening in the future!

That's why those gun laws exist, cos supporters like you stifle debate. This is an excellent platform to reach out to the youth of today who will make the laws of the future.

+UniCaticorn let's not turn this into a political debate and keep politics separate from YouTube comments

+staygulf83 It's sad because these gun laws were meant for us to use if we elected a dictator so then we could fight back, forcefully. But no, America has to be greedy and use them for their own good.

Another statistic of America's stupid gun laws.

+staygulf83 it makes me want to cry just thinking about it

What the fact that she got shot, or the fact that she got shot at a meet and greet?

+staygulf83 I know it makes me feel so bad and sad

Those poor people waiting for her autograph.


I miss C.G so much😭😭 If only I would've been there to take the bullet for her😢😭😭


Bet I've watched this 50 times. Just noticed your purple bow


I live in the United States and I am honestly disgusted with our gun laws, I wish someone would create change and I want to be that person...but I feel useless-no one wants to change the gun laws because they're scared to give up freedom. But it's not even about giving up freedom...it's about being safe.

What would it change people would still break the laws, that's the thing with laws people set them for bad things not to happen but these types of people who shot her still wouldn't follow these laws and if someone changed these laws they still would've shot her. No matter what we do, in our world things like this happen people will die young or old

+Jake Perri Another conservative comment without substance

The whole subject of gun laws has been talked about for the past few years, and even more recently considering Christina's passing. Background checking people before they get ahold of a gun shouldn't even be argued. It should be required. But people who commit mass shootings like these are almost always the ones who don't get the guns legally. Its just the fact that other gun owners are put out to be bad people, when thats not true at all. I just have one question... If stabbing people to death became more "popular" (meaning people started killing others in that way), would our government try to put laws on knives? No. Because its not possible. My point is, that you can kill someone by using ANYTHING. I could kill my father with a steak knife, but that will just be another story in the news with nothing really done about it. But its like the SECOND that guns are brought up, non-gun owners automatically plea that firearms should be banned.

Comment directed at Autumn Raine

Maybe shootings became a bigger problem when there was talk of outlawing guns because more people bought guns to get them before they were gone...Therefore, an increase in gun ownership and thus access to guns in private residences led to an increase in shootings, and thus guns should be outlawed as soon as possible in order to stop the people who would potentially get guns in the future and thus de-normalise the ownership of guns.

*DIRECTED AT Mikeylee4*
But change has to start somewhere, and this just may be that. If our culture stops normalising the ownership of firearms, ownership will dwindle as it will become taboo. Please stop being dismissive of an attempt to make this country safer; change is not a one quick fix; it is the collective efforts of the masses using multiple means to make society ideal for eachother. And nobody can argue that owning a gun is ideal; what is ideal about holding a gun in your arm when there are bullets lodged in your body ?

seriously this is the only nation in the world that experiences this crazy amount of gun violence

+Regan Moss yes but if the guy didn't have a gun she wouldn't have gotten shot yes?

the guns aren't the thing that's bad. it's the awful people who use them. you could take away every weapon, and they would find a way to do evil acts. just think of dallas.... the man used rocks. insane world.

So, should we surrender our privacy in exchange of safety? Why are people complaining about government surveillance then? Are you OK with Government surveillance?

Much of the media (movies, shows, etc) are censored in China, to protect the Chinese people from "western ideals, violence, etc" are you OK with that?

It's not about being safe. It's about being free. Insecurity can be addressed differently. No need to go after the constitution without first going through some other measures. Has the media ever withhold the names of these criminals? No, they make him a kind of mastermind Villain as soon as they have the change.

+lol who's Patrick Stump? ? But what's the point in mourning when it's already happened again, but this time 20 people are dead

Can we please just focus on the girls death rather than make it political because you're anti guns? Just for once, focus on what happened, rather than what should've happened.

That's ridiculous and border line an obnoxious view. The rest of the world where guns are banned have far far less gun crime, if you think shootings  will continue to be as bad if not worse then please unlike other Americans look at the rest of the world, look at actual statistics.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" ~ Ben Franklin. You will have to take my guns from my cold dead hands. #OathKeeper

I want you to propose a law that isn't already in place...

If she had armed security it would have been less likely that she would have been shot but that's just a bunch of what ifs. Predators don't attack predators, they attack prey. They attack people who are less likely to attack back. That's the predators mindset. Take away firearms and only the criminals will have firearms.

I really liked her music. but the issue isn't about what was used to kill her but why she even died in the first place. The lunatic had intent and sought her out would have used anything to kill her. Guns aren't the issue, but the mental state of people.

the creep who killed her was also carrying a hunting knife😞.

I know that, that's why I said "less things." Guns are the most commonly used item for murders.

+Mikeylee4 no gov agents can't check every house, but it would prevent more people from buying guns!

they have many more weapons not just guns

We don't even know if it was a legally owned weapon. Somehow this psycho managed to smuggle two guns and a hunting knife into a gun-free zone protected only by unarmed security guards. And since he's been in the melee range of Christina's brother(he tackled the gunman), he would easily be able to stab her if he hadn't had a gun. Police claims that the man had to travel to Orlando with the purpose of committing murder, so no +Norberz he probably wouldn't be stopped, he would just start preparations earlier, or went to another concert.

Another thing is that in the US we can often observe reckless use of weapons, such as shooting people who just mistaken apartment's doors and entered wrong flat. People definetely should go through mental health and psychological tests to determine if they are responsible enough to own a gun. Unfortunately I do not know how it is in United States in that matter.

I haven't heard of Christina before, shame it had to come to this for me to discover her. May she rest in peace.

I believe that this kind of tragedy (not related to terrorism) would never have happened in France. You can say "but this crazy person would have found a way to kill her", i think the difficulty to do it would have discouraged him. It's so much easier to kill somone with a gun. I think she would be still alive with stricter gun laws. :/

+Parzval K merely because a person who is sometimes looked up to says something doesn't make it true. Owning guns may be in the constitution but it's not truly a right, you can live without owning a gun, many people do.

Least we don't have shootings in schools on the regular. You say giving up guns is freedom, but that act SAVES INNOCENT LIVES!!!

"Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither" -Bejamin Franklin.

^^ Granted, they can't. But stricter gun laws make it harder to to gain access to guns. it would take time but change is certainly possible.

If people have the intent to kill they'll do it, if it means obtaining guns illegally or finding another way to do harm. Gun laws won't change anything and not all gun owners are bad people. Shootings became an even bigger problem when the government first started talking about outlawing them.

theres no easy solution or it would of been done already. Even if congress banned the ownership of all firearms today, people would still keep them in their houses. Federal agents cant check every house in the U.S.


what does she mean by "something has to change"


her death fucked me up so hard.. still can't believe she's gone.


i heard she was killed while i was getting a hair cut. i couldn't believe it ... i was like wow one of the most innocent youtubers ever..all she wanted to do was sing..


I JUST PUT MY MAKEUP ON IM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CRYING


I can't stand humanity, why does this have to happen


Dont Be Sad...You Happy Cristina Grimmie happy too.. ok dont be sad ^_^


and here we are again in Florida with another shooting

something has to change
right now


FUCK I THOUGHT YOU WERE OKAY UNTIL THE END


And with the new president it's just worse because he wants to make it legal.


this is not meant to be sarcastic. I just wanna thank you for remembering her. I've been watching her since 2009 too and it really hurts to know that she's gone....


people are seeing this as a place to throw their political views rather than mourn the loss of a great artist

i understand that politics are important, and i was not complaining. you could have some sympathy rather than not having the time to mourn so you can start an uprising.

+Oscar Taylor I've already responded as to why politics are so important. I'm sorry if you don't understand, but don't complain when other people are talking about politics

again, you're commenting about politics.

+DarkSecrets InOurHearts
In America, in the constitution, the founding fathers didn't have the foresight to see that the 2nd amendment would be taken advantage of. The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with murder nor self defense. It had to do with protecting oneself and the community
from a government that's corrupt.  With gun regulations, and making it extremely hard for people to have guns, the deaths would go down.

@sueycoo  Everyone thought that having guns could protect from murders but it caused actually more than before.

Idk where you live but in America there's no time to mourn the loss of someone before the next person dies because of guns.  We have to work as hard as possible to get gun regulations so less people die, and that means being political.

True... And the worst part is they don't even know Christina.


Lol ive never heard of Christina Grimme but rip.


I'm about to go in public I should not have watched this rn I'm gonna SOB


IT IS NOT THE GUNS, IT IS THE PEOPLE IN POSSESSION OF THE GUNS.

I'm talking about legally owning a gun, dude.

if the government tries to take away our guns, there's gonna be riots. the right to bear arms is the 2nd amendment, and our soldiers use that amendment to protect YOUR 1st amendment. I do agree that the rules should be slightly stricter, but if you believe that taking away guns is the solution then you've got another thing coming. ISIS IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE OF DUMBASS LIBERAL DECISIONS. and if they do take away guns in the US, Isis & other terrorist groups are definitely going to use that to their advantage.

+let it go because the black market isn't a thing right?

Nobody just gives away guns guys. There are laws. You need to be a licensed and registered gun owner in order to have a gun.

I think guns are a pretty big factor in shootings don't you???

But it's the laws that are at fault for giving these people guns with little to no effort involved.


I can't believe it's only been three months :(


Orlando Nightclub Shooting: Mass Casualties After Gunman Opens Fire in Gay Club

+famous brillance that's so true very well said 😉.

Just focusing on the nightclub shooting, if assault rifles were banned like they ought to be he would not have been able to get one.  People say crazy people will find a way to get them, but this person wasn't any more steeped in illegal dealings than me or presumably you and didn't have any direct contact with terrorist organizations.  If you had to get an assault rifle how would you go about it?  You wouldn't even know where to start and you'd likely expose yourself to law enforcement in the attempt to find out or end up mugged trying to deal with criminals.

This was a terrorist attack, Obama even called it that. The terrorist do not obey gun laws and will have access to them. People with f'd up mental issues do not care about gun laws and will find guns to do their disgusting crimes. Who will obey? The ones who wouldn't kill unless it is kill or be killed. We need to address mental illness more than anything.

I know. It's absolutely terrible, isn't it?


Just imagine. If the gun laws were changed she'd still be alive.

@***** That's true but it'd be way less overall in death toll if there were no guns.

@Mice Crispie You have a point, I'm not denying it. I am honest, I don't really know the process of getting a gun. From what I've heard it's hard, not sure why anyone would want to get a gun unless it's for actual self defense but even still. It did say though that this guy didn't have a gun permit, so how did he get the gun, and not just a gun but two.

@***** Tons of killers did have gun permits, though. Making it illegal to obtain a gun will stop many murders and suicides.

@***** Fighting over whether a knife is as bad as a gun is stupid. Look at Orlando I'm sure many would have been saved if he had a knife instead of a gun.

It's ridiculous that guns are legal and you can actually get a license to own one.

@kbg12ila Like I said I've never been stabbed, but getting stabbed enough sounds painful, especially getting stabbed three times. I can see the possibility of her surviving but that's still enough to cause some damage. Plus also take into account how fast the meds got there. She died in the hospital later.

@kbg12ila I thought it was reported that she came up and was about to hug him when he shot her, then her brother jumped over the merchandise table and tackled him. If you're about to hug someone, you have to be pretty close right? Do you know where I can find this source you're talking because at least three different articles say that she had her arms open so she could hug him and he shot her.

@***** He shot her 3 times from far away and her brother stopped the shooter from killing anyone else. If the killer came that close with a knife her brother would have easily stopped it and it would be easier to stop 3 knife wounds.

No it wouldn't. If you ban guns that doesn't help anything because there's knives, bombs, etc. They would have to ban everything in America and even then people will still be assholes and find a way to murder. Our world is cruel and it's just going to get worse. There's nothing we can do but pray it gets better. And that's what I hope.

+Oolala yeah of course it would have been better if security had been tighter, but let's not forget that the main blame lies with the man who went and shot the poor girl :(

@josh luckman Yeah it's very upsetting. I mainly blame security, if they had padded people down, she would very well still be alive.

+Oolala yeah I'm disappointed with the body guards. they should have been more careful. I don't think anyone got pat down. bags were just searched. they didn't even have metal detectors

@josh luckman Funny I lived in the states until 21 myself, I currently live in Germany, and I don't even know the gun laws. Where I live, you have to sign a lot of agreements, from what I have heard it is not easy to get a gun so the fact he had two and was allowed to walk in without being padded down is astonishing to me.

+Oolala either way there's no point fighting over her death. and what could have happened. she's gone and nothing can bring her back. although I wish things played out differently, nothing can change what happened. in my opinion I believe guns should be banned. it just makes it much simpler. one less thing to worry about. but my opinions  not gonna change anything. it's not gonna prevent another death; whether that be by gun, knife or natural causes, as death is a part of life

+Oolala guns just add fuel to the fire. since he came with the intent to kill her why make it easier by giving him a gun. I don't really know the rules in America as I live in Australia but I've heard thy anyone over the age of 21 can purchase a gun if they've had no prior criminal record or health issues. why give a gun to anyone. we don't know what can happen in people's lives that can make them take another person's live but why make it convenient to just pick up your gun and go kill someone you don't like. I know guns can be used for safety purposes but I've never heard of someone saving anyone with a gun. I only hear about all the mass shootings.

@Blake Morris Yeah you have a point. Still though, this is very upsetting.

@josh luckman Yeah that is true. You and Blake have a point, but I honestly believe no law could have stopped him from wanting her dead. I imagine it is very easy to keep stabbing until you are tackled and do enough damage.

Or maybe if they would actually have security at concerts like they should. An easy body check for everyone walking in would have saved her life.

@***** he shot 4 or 5 bullets in a matter of seconds. If it was knife he would of only stabbed her once in that time and if he didn't hit the heart or neck she would most likely survived

@kbg12ila I've never been stabbed, but if you had someone come with the intent to kill you, I am pretty sure if this guy wanted to kill her with a knife it would have happened. He shot her three times, once could have been plenty but this guy wanted her dead. For whatever reason I don't know, it's almost sickening. Like I said before, this guy had the intent of killing her, no gun law would have stopped him from doing it with or without a gun.

@***** yeah but im pretty sure she was shot in the head. With a knife he would have done less damage and they could have stopped him before anything serious happens

@josh luckman But wasn't it reported that she greeted him with open arms and he shot her right then and there? I imagine it was the impact of how close he was and shot her was what did the most damage.

+Oolala you've got a point there. anyone can grab a knife or other household objects to kill someone but it's so much harder to kill someone with a knife than a gun. first there's the range of the weapon. you can shoot a gun from quite far away and If your accurate you can hit your target but with a knife you have to get really close to the person. also with a gun there's more areas you can hit to kill and it's quicker to pull a trigger twice than it is to swing a knife. you can deal more damage with a gun in than you can with a knife in the same amount of time

He had a knife on him,  even if the laws had changed what was to stop him from stabbing her? This dude had a full intent on killing her to the point he brought the knife just in case.

A lot of people would be alive right now

@***** That's true. Well since that mind set has embedded into the culture they should still get rid of the guns, it's easier than making a whole nation understand.

Maybe it's the fact that America has been at war for 222 out of it's 239 years of existence and it's violence pours out into society.  Recently we've been at war w Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya and ISIS for the past 16 yeears!  Switzerland does just fine w it's gun ownership.  There are already numerous strict gun laws, I'm not sure if more will do anything.  Just blaming guns seems narrow minded.


This is so incredibly beautiful, Christina would love it and would be proud of you 👍


Be positive. Spread the love. Be save. #RIPChristina

Beautiful tribute, thank you for using your beautiful voice for Christina to hear from above! ❤


Christina was one of my greatest inspiration too. Team Grimmie will always live


Thankyou for somewhat brightening my day. Beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman. You stopped my years for a brief moment and that is so valuable x

Lovely voice! Christina Grimmie would be proud. :)


This made me cry😪, this was beautiful, Christina was such an inspiration & I hope she is never forgotten😣💖

Beautiful!
I'm from Brazil and since 2010 followed the Christina Grimmie... RIP Christina....


Your song is beautiful! I just found your channel, thank you for posting this it was so open and honest! <3


@doddleoddle I've followed Grimmie for as long as you did. And honestly, things like this help me, it helps connecting to others who were fans. This was lovely and I'm in tears, thank you for this. <3


Still feels so unreal to me.. This cover made me really emotional but I'm sure she would have been so happy to know she inspired you


:( this was beautiful. She'll remain in our hearts always


Christina Grimmie is also someone I followed since 2010. She is such a talented person and this really made my heart hurt. Thank you for such an awesome cover. <3 <3


Thank you for this. Christina was such a beautiful soul and she will be missed.


Hey, this is one of the first videos of yours I've watched. You have a really pretty and unique voice and I think you would be really good singing The First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes, you have the perfect voice for it!


Beautiful song. Thank you for spreading the love. Orlando thanks you❤


Beautiful song!!!! I don't know if you understand how much impact you have on people. You were blessed with this amazing ass talent and not only that, you have a voice and you have the power to make change happen. The world is cruel but you shine a bit of light on it everyday. SORRYYYY FOR THE BAD GRAMMER BUT IM TOO LAZY TO FIX IT


This is so beautiful! May she rest in peace😔


This made me cry because I'm in the exact same place. I've been watching her since 2009 and I loved her and her music and she was such an inspiration and such a good, sweet person... crying 😭


This really made me tear up, she was such a bright person and she made such a huge impact on my life. Fly high Christina #teamgrimmieforever


awesome song, and I'm sure Christina is watching from heaven and cheering you on :)


you sang so good for her youre so sweet ❤


thank you so much for posting this. christina was an inspiration to us all and its nice to know others felt the same way as i did. I have been watching Christina ever since i was nine and now that im 16 it feels as if a friend was taken away from me. thank you again for posting this and singing one of her songs because i cant bring myself to listen to her voice just yet


Thank you; your tribute to Christina is beautiful. I'm crying with you.


I started watching her videos when she started her channel and I also started watching your videos a long time ago... you and her are both inspirations for me and watching this video just made me cry so badly... She was awesome, I'm so sad I didnt got to meet her :'(


This made me so so sad. I've been on Team Grimmie for so many years now, I felt she was practically a big sister for me...I never got to meet her in person either, and it makes me so sad that I'll never hear her sing with that awesome voice of hers again. I've literally been in shock since I found out on Saturday and I actually thought it was some kind of sick joke. I can't believe she's dead and will keep on waiting til the morning when I wake up and find out it was all a big hoax. :(


i watched her videos in 2009 and inspired me to do videos too!!! I miss her so damn much, and i also made a tribute. i love her and she'll always be in my heart


I just cried again, this was beautiful <3


The last clip there broke my heart. Beautiful tribute


I'm in love with this song. I love it ❤👌


This was so nice of you... It made me cry. <3


She did a good job RIP Christina grimmie you were an inspiration to a lot of us including me ❤😢


This was beautiful. I didn't know Christina until she died but it still breaks my heart of what happened. R.I.P. Christina Grimmie 💛


so many years of her beautiful voice, i Will miss her everyday... thank u for this video.


This song was full of emotion. Stay Strong


this is so sweet and great :] she would've loved it.


Her death is so tragic, she was so talented. But keep your head up, they live on in what we leave behind. You're very talented as well, keep it up :) peace and love


A lovely tribute. Made me tear up. RIP Christina.


Very well done!!  Her death still has not settled inside of me!  God Bless!!


Also your a really good singer and I look up to you so much👍👏😊


You've made Christina so proud Dodie. A life taken too soon but I'm positive that she's smiling down on you fron heaven.


This brought me to tears. Christina Grimme was an amazing girl and extremely talented, her life was cut way too short. Im going to miss her so much... 💔💔


i still can't believe what has happened this weekend. it's hitting my heart too hard. :( this was beautiful. xo


why would someone do something like this to such a talented and beautiful person . this really made me cry


thank you dodie I needed that in crying for her and her family and everyone else at least she is in a better place and she doesn't have to deal with people hating on her she was an amazing person and still is I will remember her and I hope you all will to thank you Christina you inspire me💜


I really appreciate you making this video.


Why are people disliking this? This is really sweet. Rip Christina Grimmie. ❤


This is a beautiful tribute. Couldn't believe the news, she seemed like such a lovely person.


This world is really quite an terrible place at the moment, and we need music to help connect us all, thank you for this, I'm sure you're doing her proud, Dodie ⭐


when I found out she was dead, I held back my tears and I managed to did that until I listened to her Just A Dream cover, that's one of my favorite covers on youtube, listening to it while processing what just happened to her only made me cried the whole day


This is wonderful.  Im sure Christian lived her moments to the fullest, its such a shame she was taken away so early. Rest easy Christina. <3


It make me feel so sad to see Dodie like this 😔 RIP Christina Grimmie❤

But still a beautiful cover 💗 Christina would be proud


I also started watching Christina back in 2009... My heart is so broken :'(


I cried because I was sad at first but now I'm crying because I'm happy. I'm happy that christina died doing what she loved and now she is on to a better place where none of this happens, everyone has just got to think: she maybe dead but she's not gone. she will be here in our hearts forever. dodie I love you. This tribute was beautiful. and please can everyone stop being disrespectful in the comments. everyone who is being disrespectful is just making this even harder for everyone who is sad about christina. R.I.P christina grimmie xx


Your voice and this video is beautiful. You kinda remind me of Christina tbh.


Beautiful. Don't need any other words to describe this than beautiful.


Can you do a tutorial for the chords, I want to learn ukulele and it'd be very helpful.


Rip. Christina grimmie..... You and her both inspire me to be a youtuber and a singer... Both have beautiful voices, I loved hearing you sing her song💕😭🙏


This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen.


Doodle this was so great I hope you're okay I'm sad about it and I don't know her personally I hope her family's okay


To sum up how kind and genuine Christina was, she opened up her arms to hug her killer. She was a sweet and inspiring girl who left her mark on the world.


this made me cry :( rest in peace christina


This was really beautiful. I don't understand why people don't believe that gun laws need to be changed. I don't get how much more of this will have to happen.


I dont know why anyone would dislike this vid 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻


Im emotionally wounded..... Forever. <br>RIP chistina grimme I loved her soooo much and now I can't even see why the world is soo cruel.... She was 22😞😞😭😭

Im emotionally wounded..... Forever.
RIP chistina grimme I loved her soooo much and now I can't even see why the world is soo cruel.... She was 22😞😞😭😭


I really hope she got to live for the moments she got, and I am so sad she won't get to live the rest.


If I would've been singing I would've started crying in mid song


I hate that I didn't even know who Christina was until she was killed. She was an absolutely amazing person


this is beautiful to listen to.

Christina Grimmie. Her name will not be forgotten, she will live on through every person that listen to her songs, watch her videos, everyone who keeps thinking and talking about her. She was and still is an inspiration. But now, she's singing up on the highest stage with all the other Angels we've lost. But they are never truly lost as long as we remember. <3


Love your lovely every each songs! I mean it :) you r very lovely person.


it's not fair...I'm so sad and so angry.. how can be possible that people do things like that?! seriously, not fair, at all.... we'll miss you Christina. <br>beautiful tribute Dodie, so sweet

it's not fair...I'm so sad and so angry.. how can be possible that people do things like that?! seriously, not fair, at all.... we'll miss you Christina.
beautiful tribute Dodie, so sweet


best wishes to you and christinas family


Dodie there is no need to apologise for your voice not being 'polished' or being 'croaky' we dont mind. This is for Christina and she wouldnt mind at all. We all love you both. I loved the way you sang this and i know that Christina would have too. Try to stay positive. I know it will be hard. We all love you both


Can't believe a young, genuine and innocent individual has been taken from us. It pains me knowing that how Christina had been shot. Why is it that this bad event had to happen to such a nice kind-hearted person? She was pursuing her career in what she loved doing most, which is making music and bringing joy to her fans. She most definitely did not deserve this. May The Lord forever look after her - zeldaxlove64 you shall never be forgotten. Rest In Peace Christina Grimmie.


This event is so tragic :( I've watched multiple videos on this topic but this one is gonna make me cry ;(

- Jack


Legit Christina was the first YouTube I watched and now ...😨


if you look for the light you will often find it, but if you look for the darkness that is all you will see.


i miss christina so much my heart is aching


This is a beautiful song and cover.

The world truly can be terrible, and it took an amazing, inspiring person from us.
The one thing that it cannot take is how strong Team Grimmie is, and will forever be.

I'm heartbroken that I never had the opportunity to meet her personally, however I will never forget what she brought to the world. I will be forever thankful.

I hope Christina rests peacefully. For she deserves nothing less.


The past two days have been so absolutely horrible, with Christina's death and all those lost in the Orlando shooting. Your making this song to mourn Grimmie's death is an amazing way to appreciate her life. Praying for the families of all those who have lost loved ones in the last couple of days, and, as always, thank you for making such an amazing cover, Dodie.<br>I really do hope something changes soon. Guns are tearing the world apart.

it's so horrible this happened u hope ur okay , she was amazing.


Didn't know her, but just the fact that someone so young was murdered pisses me off and makes me sad.


💔💔💔💔 im super upset about Christina getting killed and this just shows how much she inspired people while she was still here


I don't understand why people are so mean sometimes😓☹😔


What Onision said about fans being pathetic for mourning her because she is a celebrity is bullshit. She was an inspiration to me and a lot of others and even though she was getting popular doesn't mean anything. She was a good person and will be missed dearly.

@Secreus This world works in disgusting ways. Men r payed more than women, black and lgbtq people r disrespected daily and much more. I understand how most of the world works but I will not work that way too.

@Secreus I've already told u that I do. And my place is not what u tell me. This argument days ago. Let it go and stop commenting.

@Maddie Vitali I'm trying so hard to keep my temper bc some people do just need a slap sometimes

@Secreus I do know my place. My place is here, on this earth, to fight for women, black, lgbtq+ and anyone else's rights.

@Secreus I'm not religious. I don't give one what your supposed 'God' says. There is no proof that He even exists therefore I choose not to believe in it. However I do not harass people because they believe in something I don't. Maybe you should learn something from that. People have different views. Get over it. Unless someone's views on life hurt someone else there is nothing wrong with it.

@Secreus I don't care who you hate. No-one does. I only care about the people you might affect by harassing them online. Just think about the effects of your words/actions before you type/say/do them. It's not that hard to be polite.

Secreus I'm just gonna point out a few things; a. this video is trying to celebrate someone's life and help mourn their death and these comments are not necessary. b. You are literally commenting homophobic slurs on a bisexual person's channel. c. a lot of people are lgbtq+ and people like you who are still saying things like that, online or irl, need to grow up and realise that there is nothing wrong with loving whoever you want. Hell, it's not exactly something people can control, is it?! No it isn't. So stop harassing anyone who is lgbtq+ or anyone who defends them because they have done nothing wrong.

lol i really get triggered when ppl use gay as an insult,, like there are people who are gay there are people who are not so saying that someone is gay is rude

Emily Chang idk just mix as much as you want

@***** yes u did you told me how to type. Don't talk to me ever again I can sue you for harassment

@***** Know that a subject must always follow an alluded phrase before you join the sentences into a compound sentence.

@***** *What? I couldn't understand you because of that horrible grammar.

+Secreus Ya Making it BLUE is SO important

@GREEN SZ also learn how to make that thing blue, not like +Secreus, like @Secreus that

@GREEN SZ +the killer please come back i dont want to live anymore do it do it for allah dj kahled

@***** not you man i was talking to green

@Ryan Ross rip cripstina grimmie "buy my album" 1996-2016 she wont never be forgotten

+Jaba The Pegasus and I also have the freedom of speech and I said something...I'm not going to be threatened and not do anything about it..

+Jaba The Pegasus I have been in 5th grade but I had a shirty teacher that didn't teach us...AND I never said he couldn't say what he wanted...he basically threatened us and I'm not going to sit back and see all this happen I'm going to stick up for my self!

@Matty Jones Have you not been to 5th grade history? You can't day people don't have the right to say something. Most overused phrase.... First amendment gives us freedom of speech. It was rude, but he does have the right to say that. Ugh, people that say that prove to me that they are so unintelligent...

+Kaylee Nielsen that doesn't mean he has to say that he hopes that the gunman comes back to life and kills us..THATS NOT RIGHT! That is wishing death upon people and it's not okay I'm going to stick op for myself and I'm not eating my feelings. Maybe I just thought the recipe was sweet and go to my comment I said a while back I told a girl to keep her head up because She was sad I never said I was eating my feelings..

+Matty Jones because eating your feelings

+hamza the beast why are  you sang that?

+hamza the beast why are  you sang that?

I hope it's okay to add 1,000 gallons of my tears...

+Matty Jones it's okay the shooter was trying to join faze he went for a 720 no scope but he got a 360 no scope so he decided to take his life cause he said he can't hit a 720 no scope so he took the easy way out

Gonna need to make some after all these tears thanks


...w..t..f :( finding this out is horrible

+Niki i think it's sad that people are fighting in the comments in a tribute video for Christina

<i>Oml np girly !! She doesn't even know how to take the truth - _ - people are so cruel .. Like tf ?</i>

_Oml np girly !! She doesn't even know how to take the truth - _ - people are so cruel .. Like tf ?_

+Niki and she said I should have died like wtf chill

<i>Wtf ? It was a fight here !! You were messing with her and weren't letting her explain. So don't go calling me any names or anything, cos I didn't do anything to you. So watch who you're talking to hun ! Fighting against others will never get you places !</i>

_Wtf ? It was a fight here !! You were messing with her and weren't letting her explain. So don't go calling me any names or anything, cos I didn't do anything to you. So watch who you're talking to hun ! Fighting against others will never get you places !_

+Niki cupcake millennials putting their nose in others business. cute ^.^

If someone attacks me, I hit back 10x harder.

+Shannon A she wasn't being rude. I think you got the wrong end of the stick bbe.


no one was even talking about gun control....

Before everyone starts siding with complete gun control we should first ask ourselves why the second amendment exists at all. You see the second amendment isn't about 'protecting' yourself but rather they are there to protect the people as a whole from a tyrannical government one which isn't persuaded by peaceful protest. Without guns the American government could become even more controlling than it already is. So sure say goodbye to guns but if you do then you may be saying hello to the fourth reich mein fuhrer Donald Trump.

that might be knew. all ive heard is that they dont know.

I saw a video of a police officer at the scene stating that they were not from Orlando but from a different place in Florida and also I'm pretty sure they already confirmed that they did not know each other and that they are still trying to find the connection to find out his motives

+Max Lastra People posted about the gunman being from another state as well.

Just found out that the gunman planned on killing her and then running away. but instead he shot himself

@***** cnn can have innacurate scores. I've been watching the news all day on loop for new information.

+Laura Morgan her brother is a hero. Think of the casualties if he hadn't of done anything. I think this should definitely be addressed.

+RedChaosify no. No details have been announced. No one knows.  You read an inaccurate article.

+RedChaosify no one knows. It hasn't been announced.

it wasn't her ex, no one knows who it was yet, and his identity has not been revealed. Do not spread lies about someones death

+kristen woods no it was not her ex. It was a random gunman in Orlando. He killed himself right after

Phillip DeFranco made a video covering it, and it should be mentioned her brother tackled the killer and probably prevented a lot more deaths. #RIPChristina

last night in Orlando she was shot during a M&G and was taken to the hospital. She was in critical condition for most of the night and was confirmed dead this morning sadly. Her killer shot and killed themselves right after they shot her.


I'm from spain, many km away, but that touch my heart. she'd love this. I feel so bad for her family and friends. apart of that you are gold bby stay like this, but happier and sorry for my english. i know, it's so bad, but if i told you un spanish, you don't understand a word


It's so sad to think that this innocent singer was shot for doing nothing wrong. There is to many crazy people out in the world who do sick things like this. Christina Grimmie will be remembered forever in our hearts.


it was beautiful <b>clicks subscribe</b>


just why do we have to live such a fucked up wold ?... so much pain and hatred :( can't anymore !! she was a innocent loving girl... whyyy ?


Wow it so good love your sings I bet you make her happy in heven it ok I'm sad 😪😢


Rip Christiana Grimmie X cant believe she died


I was so sad when I figured out that she died I didn't even get to go to a concert and then tomorrow is my birthday


Comment if you cried your eyes out ... I did


I still haven't come to terms with it, I'm trying so hard to take it in but it's still now sinking in.


I am an American, and thee gun laws are horrible. My mother attempted to contact the president over the shootings, but all she got was a robotic reply. It's incredibly stupid, but sadly I think there is little we can do about it but keep hoping.


gawd damn people these days.... Killing off influences to people. innocent people at that. hope you burn in hell for what you have done. and may she rest in peace. I am one of those under her influence sadly, I discovered her far too late


And I am sorry to say that nothing has changed yet. And I'm sorry that it took so long for real change to start to happen. Maybe someday soon we Americans won't be exchanging lives for money and power.


I may not live in america But still I've felt so sad with all the news I'm hearing, the news was covered with persons killing for such a random reason... Why are they doing this... I heard that christina grimmie died and I heard that she is from the voice.. Me and my auntie search it on the internet one of christina's song and I heard a lovely voice... And it shocked me to know that she died... Why can someone do this to her!! She is so kind and full of happiness... Then one night I heard that in a gay club there is a shotting crime again ... I think it was in orlando... This people doing this crime don't know what they are up to!! I feel sad and seeking justice for the people who where victims of same crime...

One more thing, Orlando has been in the news lately and I'm scared for the people living there for their safety, the U.S. Government should make a move for this happenings... They should stop the KILLING!!


the ending of this video makes me so sad


I just can't accept that she not here anymore


She looks like she's about to cry throughout the whole video ),;


The 735 are jerks for diss liking this!!


Omg I feel so bad, that must've been horrible😢😢


Instead of shot I heard chopped and I was quite shocked


the guy who shot her obviously doesn't have a heart


ι αм яєαℓℓу ѕα∂ ѕтιℓℓ, 😢😭

ι αм яєαℓℓу ѕα∂ ѕтιℓℓ, 😢😭


As soon I herd this I bought it I didn't even listen to the so g


It is fucking sick how I got a 30 second ad before this video, exploiting someone's death is WRONG


When someone like Christina is shot, it makes me feel like God is actually dead.


or did the emoji just look different if youre using something other to apple? :(


Such a lovely voice. She was such a talented singer. The first cover I heard from her was Skyscraper by Demi... It was breathtakingly amazing and powerful. She will be missed. RIP


this was a beautiful cover.  and it's such a beautiful thing when one person's light can make the world brighter for so many people.  in lou of this tragedy i hope we continue to sing, continue to chase our dreams, and continue to unapologetically fill the dark times with our light and inspiration.  thank you for using your platform for these things.  stay strong friend <3.


She was an inspiration to me aswell when I used to watch her back in 2009. All the comments are really soo sad. I just  want to cheer you up and say that this is a beautiful cover and will forever be my favourite. Thankyou for helping me get closure Dodie💗


I am crying a lot. I love Christina Grimmie so much...<br>I don't believe... She was so young and sweet... She had so many dreams and songs... My heart is broken.

I am crying a lot. I love Christina Grimmie so much...
I don't believe... She was so young and sweet... She had so many dreams and songs... My heart is broken.


Loved your tribute, I was so devastated when I heard the news, to listen to your song gives some comfort in a moment of such great sadness.


This is such a beautiful tribute to Christina Grimmie, may she rest in peace.<br>Thank you so much for this... ❤

This is such a beautiful tribute to Christina Grimmie, may she rest in peace.
Thank you so much for this... ❤


Well in the darkness of one of my favorite leaving us behind I found another great YouTuber! I looked up to Christina ever since her cover of just a dream 5 years ago so her passing really got me down but I'm glad I found this channel. I hope I can look forward to another beautiful voice in my YouTube feed! ❤ thank you for making this video, it really helped me get through the sadness of her passing.


All my love to you, Dodie. And to every single person.


This was an outstanding tribute! I usually do not comment on non-Booktube videos, but I had to do it in this instance and thank you for such a raw and heartfelt performance. Why this song of hers never made it on the radio is beyond my wildest belief, for Christina Grimmie was an outstanding talent. This song is just so fitting and defines who all of us are and that being who you are is what matters most. I did not follow her so much on YouTube, but I came across her on The Voice. She was so passionate and dedicated and she did what ever she needed to in order to get to where she wanted to be. She is also from my home state of New Jersey and a friend of mine (and fellow Gladiators) performed in a Christmas show with her (though they never spoke). I do have Facebook friends and personal friends that have interacted with her whether it be directly or through mutual people. I feel that security needs to improve, for security guards were not armed and there was no pat downs or metal detection (there were people checking bags and purses, though). The fact that she has inspired those in other countries and across the world is so meaningful and I feel that this is what she leaves behind. Thank you for sharing this! -Josh


you're so strong for making this, dodie. and it's a beautiful cover, really. <3333


This is beautiful dodie , I loved Christina The way you sang it made me so happier Thank you x


I basically grew up on Christina- back in 2009, I was a little emo kid who loved loved loved music and her voice gave me life and brought me out of many, many, dark moments. Rest in peace Christina.


Such a great cover, filled with passion and emotion. Great job.


lovely cover.. she was such a beautiful person and will be truly missed <3<br>thank you for addressing the shooting issues we have in the US, we are in a terrible need of help.

Dodie I just want to give you a big hug right now, I never watched her videos or knew who she was until I saw the RIP tag on Twitter, but it's clear she was loved. I'm sorry for your loss everyone. My thoughts are with her family and fans at this time


I had never come across your channel and I'm sad that I have for the reason I have. That was a beautiful tribute, Christina would be so touched by it I'm sure. I have also followed her literally forever and she has done so much good and she was a brilliant vocalist. I Just wanted to thank you for this :) \|/ i hope team grimmie lives on forever ☺


Such a beautiful memorial song for her. Hope it sheds at least a little light on an awful situation. Sleep tight angel❤


Beautiful singing Dodie :) RIP Christina <3


This is so lovely dodie! I was so shocked when I heard the news. I even got a slight headache when I was looking for what exactly happened. RIP Christina we love you! <3

Thank you so much for this. Beautiful glints of happy times amid a dark dark time. I believe because of her trust in Jesus I'll see her again. Death has lost its sting. Keep going Dodie, thank you for being a pioneering artist in an unknown world xx


Thanks for putting the words my heart bears over this great loss. She's a great inspiration and so are you.


Thank you so much!
I just miss Christina sooooo much, especially realizing that we will never hear nothing more from her, I'm so furious, sad, confused and torn.
Literally We've grown up with her, she has inspired us a lot, she is an angel.
We love her and we'll never forget her!


this is beautiful and thank you for uploading the part at the end where you started crying. I'm still trying to process my own grief over her murder and seeing the strength that others who were also touched by her is helping me start to come to terms with this. so thank you xxx


Beautiful cover with all your emotions in it.<br>Christina would like it a lot, I am sure! :)  :( :'(

Beautiful cover with all your emotions in it.
Christina would like it a lot, I am sure! :)  :( :'(


She was also my childhood inspiration as a musician, and I'm devastated to know that she's gone... Thank you, Dodie, for this. We aren't alone in this time of mourning. RIP Cristina.


Oh my gosh.... I remember finding her videos when I was younger. I didn't follow her much as of late, but I knew she was going to really make it big. My heart is absolutely broken that such a young and beautiful soul was taken after an act of senseless violence. It's not fair and I'm so sick of the US not taking action.


I was fine until the last twenty seconds. when you faltered and held back your tears I was crying


This was beautiful Dodie, this made me feel better. :) <3 #RipChristina


Beautiful! Cristina Grimmie deserved to live a long successful and happy life! She will be missed


I love this song. Thank you for making this...


You don't need to apologize for anything Dodie. Your voice is beautiful and I love you because you're real and you're not perfectly polished all the time. Keep being you 😘


I think you did so good on this song and Christina's work really does deserve to be carried on and I think you are the perfect person to do so. You keep up the work you've done and she will have inspired such a good singer. This is the first song I've heard from you and you are great and I'm definitely subscribing. I truly love Christina Grimmie and I also watched her videos soon after she started her channel. It breaks my heart that such an amazing singer would have to go out this way and so early. Rest In Peace the one and only Christina Grimmie... 😥


You have done a great job with the song. All of us fans feel the same as you and under what happened, you held up great. Keep doing what your doing in Christina's memory and you can honor her by following in her footsteps. You have a fan here.


I didn't know of her until yesterday. I watched a short clip of her at a concert and it was amazing. I just wish I could've found out about her in a different way. She didn't get enough recognition for her amazing talent.


You're a beautiful inspiration, just like her


Still can't believe this happened, I loved her old covers and watched them constantly ❤ it's a cruel world


This put me to tears 😢 Stay strong guys.


This song is so beautiful. RIP Christina :(


Thank you for this. You're a beautiful soul and talented. If you need to talk about anything, I'd be so glad to talk.
