Christinaaaa! First i want to say congrats on winning the iheart radio contest u really deserve it! Your music has made a huge impact on my life. It's taught me to shrug it off when someone tries to bring me down see what i did there lol. I used to hate myself in almost every way but when i started listening to your music its really changed me as a person (cliche isnt it). I remember the first time seeing you was on the voice when you performed I won't give up by Jason Mraz and from that day i never stopped listening to your music. I just want to say goodluck at the iheart radio music festival, i love you and your music, and that ive been dying to meet you lol one day it'll happen! Goodluck!! Alfred @kingAlfred7_

Christina you are literally the most amazing person ever. I am so proud of you and the person that you have become. You are not just a singer, you are a normal person. You are weird, stupid, dumb, funny, gorgeous, and crazy. But that's why we love you. And we can't forget that you are one of the most caring people that you could ever meet. Some people think that you have changed. Honestly, they are wrong. You are still the same goofy girl that loves video games. You are still the same caring person that we always have loved. You have changed my life for the better. I am proud to be part of the team Grimmie family. I will always support you in everything you do. You are my everything. Christina thank you for all of the videos performances blogs streams and always telling us how much you love us. Good luck at iheart this year. You are gonna do amazing. 💕

Hi Christina! Greetings from Estonia! I just wanna tell you how proud I am of you. I have been a frand since 2011. I have seen you go through a lot of struggles and stuff, and now here you are, opening the iHeart Radio Music Festival! It's insane and finally all of that voting has really paid off! Good luck on stage, go and hit everybody with a shovel so they can be like oh who is that amazing woman :D I'm sure that you are gonna kill it there. A little back story, how I found you. Well basically I didn't find you, my very good friend did, and she showed me your covers and I really liked those. Btw I was 10 back then and I didn't know how to get music to my phone, so I remember recording your covers with my phone so that I could listen to them everywhere. When you were on The Voice, I didn't have a chance to watch these shows, but I was always mentally there for you. And European tour. I was so close to you and that concert, but still things didn't work out how I wanted them to work out. I was actually in Finland that day when you arrived in Finland but I left on the same day, going on that ship wich took me back home was so hard for me, I didn't want to go, I wanted to stay and meet you in person, but I couldn't. When Cliche came out, I was in Turkey that time, and our hotel had like the worst wifi ever and I couldn't listen to it until I got another wifi, wich worked and after I got to listen to Cliche, I spent my last days only listening to it because it is so good. Then Rising Star. When I heard that you are in this competition I knew I have to vote hard because you had to win this, this is the thing you deserve. So I collected a bunch of emails from my friends and family and voted with every email 50x a day. When it was final results day, I couldn't focus in school and when I checked to watch the website, and saw your name there I literally screamed and cried and jumped around because I was so happy for you and I still am! Now I wanna thank you for encouraging and inspiring me to be who I am and not to be afraid to show it. My moto is if you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. Thank you for that. Thank you for all the things you have done, you are amazing and beyond that. Maybe you can come to Estonia one day, and if not, then maybe we'll meet somewhere else. I love you to the moon and back <3 Your #1 Frand in Estonia

Christina, Just letting you know that you are amazing, but of course you already know that. Never forget that you have all the talent and potential you need to go as far as you want in life, don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. You will rock the iHeart Radio Music Festival as you always do in all of your shows. I believe in you and so does all Team Grimmie. About a year ago I heard your cover of Titanium for the first time, since that day I felt like I wasn’t alone anymore for some odd reason. Thanks to your music, your talent and amazing personality I’ve been able to get through some of the hardest times in my entire life. I literally wouldn’t be here writing this if it wasn’t for you. You, your voice and your music made me feel like I could hold on just a little bit longer, and I did. I did and it’s all thanks to you. I will never be able to repay for what you’ve done for me. Thank you so incredibly much for being yourself. Thank you for always being so real and open with us. Thank you for never giving up because if it wasn’t for you I don’t know where I’d be today. Thank you, Christina. I guess what I really want to say with this letter is that you and your music, have touched and inspired millions of hearts, including mine. That’s the goal right? Well then, you’ve made it kid and I couldn’t be any prouder. I know you will go far, you will reach more millions of hearts and I’ll be by your side to see it happen. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done. I love you man. Love, Maria Grazia

[goodluckgrimmie]

To my dearest Christina, my cheese and also the only girl who is a bigger loser than I am ;-),
Honestly I can never explain truly how proud I am of you. In six short years you’ve made such remarkable progress and you’ve come so far. I’m so proud of you and I’m so honored to be able to call you my friend and my role model. I love watching you try new things and try out all these wonderful opportunities. It sucks that I can’t see you in person for some of these but I’m always here to support you from home. I love you to the moon and back and no matter what happens or whatever you decide to do I’m always going to be right here by your side to support you. You have always been there for me and I’ll always be there for you. I’ve honestly never been so blessed to have a person in my life as I am with you. I have no idea where I’d be without you and I’m so grateful to have you in my life. I love you and I can’t wait to watch you kick ass and slay everyone’s faces off at iheart. good luck loser. 💖 - Jennifer Lawrence (@nochillnicole) (ok yes it's nochilinicole)

Dear Christina: I want to start this by saying that I am VERY proud of you and of how far you've come. Since I first discovered you last November I've seen how much effort, love and dedication you always put in all of the work you do,to give team Grimmie and the rest of the world the best. So let me tell you that now this is paying off. You're opening the iHeart music festival how cool is that, you really deserve this. It is the perfect opportunity for you to show the world who you are! It's amazing how many people love and admire you! The key to success is being humble and this my friend is something you've never lost. Christina, if I could tell you all of the things that you've done for me this probably would be 3 pages long, but trying to summarize, you made me realize that really who cares about what society tells you, be who you are and just be happy. Also to follow your dreams not caring about the negative things people tell you, and you are a clear example because you never gave up. I'm very very thankful for finding you because my life changed so much since that day. Although I've never met you (and I will very soon) I feel like you're always there for me whenever I need you, thanks for that too (I quote one of my favorite verses of 'With Love' because it's very true. "When I'm down and I'm done, and I'm coming unplugged, when I'm ready to fall you're the one always holding me up with love.") Now, when you're up in that stage, girl show em' why you are the 2015 Rising Star. Have the time of your life and enjoy because that's the important thing. I'm very proud to say that I am part of team grimmie. The fact that you are so down to earth and you take your time to interact and talk with us really proves everyone how much you love us and love what you do. When people ask me why I look up to you I seriously could talk for hours about all of the great stuff you've done not just for me but for everyone in this fandom and also I could talk about the AMAZING person that you are. So always remember that we're here for you no matter what. This is going to be an amazing experience, and hopefully you'll get to meet lots of people and get all of the recognition that you deserve. You will be excellent as always, so rock that stage. I wish you the best of the luck and fingers crossed you will meet Walk The Moon!!! You're more than prepared for this big step in your career. I'm Looking forward to see you in Vegas I'm so so excited to finally be meeting my idol! So be prepared. I will be supporting you till the end. I love you very much❤️and thanks again, Mariel (@grimmiex12)

From @CVGUpdates

Hewo Christina,

First of all, good luck at iHeart. You really do deserve the title of Rising Star and I'm so proud to call you my idol. Enjoy standing on that stage. Slay em like you normally do. Take advantage of the moment. Make friends!! It's so amazing to see you go from singing in your room to singing with celebrities- I may have hyperventilated when you sang with Ed Sheeran! I've loved you since I was 11/12 and here we are 4 years later (if you would have told me this is how we would have ended up I would not have believed you!!!)

 Secondly, thank you for being you, thanks for randomly stalking me, thanks for being so sweet and humble. Thank you for making CVGUpdates really fun to run. I love you a lot dude. You have no idea what you've done for me and what you've done for my pals. I made so many friendships because of you and I've learnt so many things while running ur fan account. I would go on but there's about 60 fans who have written a heck load of emotional stuff (not as emotional as Light's montage am I right?). I hope I get to see you again before I move my booty to London. Enjoy reading the rest of these bad boys :)

With a lot of Love, Sawdah

Dear Christina Grimmie, Good luck for opening the iHeart Radio show! We all believe in you, and we're always right beside you on those shows; even if we're a million miles away. You have an angelic and unique voice, and it never fails to slay at your biggest shows, even on The Voice. You will Make It Work, just do what you've been doing all this time: own that stage, blow the roof off the place! This is a great opportunity for you, and performances just come naturally to you. Even Adam Levine said that "you're more comfortable up there than I am". You got this. If you weren't chosen, nobody could ever fill in for you. We're all rooting for you from all the corners of the globe, and we love you. Good luck and blessings from this one big family. :) - Nathan Kristanto (@natekristanto)

Hi Christina!! I know youre very nervous about opening the whole i heart radio music festival. I can feel you. Not like opening the i heart radio. I opened for our school Intramurals. And our school was huge. Im asked to sing 3 songs.  Im pretty nervous before goin to stage. But when the first step i did at the stage, i know i can do it. BELIEVE is my keyword. Im only 12 that time tho. You can do it. You opened for Selena’s tour. Its kinda the same but 100x bigger. But we all know you can do it. You are performing and making music nonstop. You can do this and we are so proud of you. I wish i can teleport Philippines to Las Vegas tho. Take care always!! We are here no matter what. You will stay still in our hearts. Just enjoy the time. Cause its not forever. :) love you so much.  Always put your adorb smile on. Its the best make up girl can wear. And also dont forget the signature face of yours. Cause you you so gorg in every angle. Be happy. Lovelots

Dear Christina, 

     There are no words out there to express how proud I am of yu. There just isn't. Being apart of Team Grimmie is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I made that decision because yu just have a special gift and I wanted to take a ride with yu on this journey to see what new things yu would encounter. You have such an incredible voice and I'm sure the rest of Team Grimmie would agree. Your vocals are just insane! Seeing you sing in your videos or on your broadcasts on YouNow is always a treat for us!

     Looking back on where it all started for yu on YouTube to The Voice and seeing where yu are now is pretty incredible because your voice has gotten stronger and it's improved so much through all those chapters you've gone through already!

     When you were doing The Voice, not only was it such an incredible experience for yu, but it was also an incredible time for Team Grimmie as you know. Once yu were on there and voting was going on, everybody from Team Grimmie really pulled together for yu and wanted this for yu which yu probably have noticed so that was really amazing to see for myself! Although yu were placed third in the show, yu already won. I still remember Monday and Tuesday show days where I would just make a sign with "Grimmie for the Win \|/" on it along with some other phrases and I would just tape those signs to my shirt because you were my top favorite in Season 6 of The Voice and it was a way to support you! Still to this day, I consider that to be the best season they ever had because the show had a star named Christina Grimmie on Team Adam who just won over America with an phenomenal voice! 

     The iHeart Radio contest was also such a huge achievement that yu got to be apart of. That contest also made everybody in Team Grimmie come together as a team and get that win for you because you deserved it and we knew that. Never will I forget that day where you were on Twitter for hours following us back. That was such a kind and generous thing to do for us. I saw that you followed me that day and I was SO happy about that. So thank you so much for doing that. The actual show isn't until September for yu but, what I just wanted to say have fun and enjoy this opportunity yu were given for your gift and own that stage that you'll be on! 

     To conclude this letter, I would just like to say thank you. Thank you for all the smiles, laughs, inspiration, motivation, and advice you have given me while I have known of yu. I will forever be thankful for it because it's made me a happier person. I love your music so much and I don't regret listening to your songs and covers late at night everyday even if it was a school night for me. They're just fantastic. Yu appreciate us as your fans so so much and we can't thank yu enough for that. You are amazing Christina. I'm now inspired to strive for what I want even more in life because of yu. Never stop being yu. I am so ready and excited for all the new things coming for us from yu. It's going to be one heck of an amazing ride that we all can't wait for! But, some people may call yu "The girl from YouTube", "The girl from The Voice", "The girl who won the iHeart Radio contest" and so on, but, I'll always think of you as the girl who changed my life for the better and I'll always be thankful about that. 

                                                       With Love, 

[goodluckgrimmie]

 Sara (@sara_lyon7) 

Also best day honestly (sings best day ever from spongebob) was when I met you. Waiting in line for 6 hours was totally worth it. You were the sweetest person and your pants were really cool, actually your just cool all in all so... Hope I can meet you again sometime soon. I ALSO had a dream where I was like standing on this boat and I was going to scuba dive? And then you called me, and I was underwater scuba diving and you were like we need to play smash bros. so yeah I'm looking forward to this dream coming true sometime¿?? Hahahaha But I honestly don't know if there is cell reception under water let alone my phone works underwater... GOOD LUCK LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH
