Idol Chatter & Voice Views

But it’s still worth sharing.

I’ll talking about “Blink of an Eye,” an original Tori Kelly wrote and dedicated to Christina Grimmie.

Christina was shot and killed by a crazed fan during a meet and great following a performance at an Orlando show last month. The gunman then turned the gun on himself.

Tori posted her song to YouTube Sunday. By mid-week, it already had nearly 500,000 views on YouTube.

The lyrics in part: “Can’t help but think / could have been me / out there chasing a dream / when suddenly it all stops / in a heartbeat.”

Along with the song, Tori posted this message: “This song was written for Christina Grimmie after she passed away tragically. I needed to write this song. Thank you to my good friend, Zac Poor, who was brave enough to take on the challenge of writing it with me. My heart was & is still so heavy when I think of her not being with us. However, I am still comforted knowing that I’ll get to see her again someday in heaven. My prayers go out to her family & loved ones.”

Meanwhile, the GoFundMe account set up on Christina’s behalf was closed earlier this month after raising nearly $200,000. The initial goal for the account, created by her manager, was $4,000.

In a statement to US Weekly, her family said they “will take our time in determining the best ways to honor Christina moving forward,” adding: “The outpouring of love and generosity that has been displayed to our family throughout these last few weeks has far exceeded anything we could have ever imagined.”
