wasn't familiar with her until last night when i read about her being shot and in critical condition on the Neogaf forums. i was hoping for the best, that she could survive and make a recovery ...and was then heartbroken to see it being reported that she had passed away.
so young and tragic ...just when she was starting to live her dream. very heroic of her brother to tackle that piece of excrement and prevent him from harming anyone else.
on her wikipedia page it says 'Grimmie cited Christina Aguilera as her main influence vocally. She also said she admired Beyoncé for her vocals. She said she liked dubstep and DJ music, as well as rock 'n roll and heavy metal, listening to Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, and Tool.'
the girl had good taste.
RIP.
