Well, I agree with your interpretation Scott. When she was singing at the mirror I realized she might have been referring to herself. By "she" I mean this Jessica Blue character, because that is who this is supposed to be about, yet might there have been something of Christina there as well? As we all know, she was always thinking of others before herself. She cared about others, possibly to the exclusion of herself. I imagine that doesn't come without consequences. That she cared so much about others when far too many people care only about themselves is striking. She literally made me care, and to try to be a better person. Yesterday I watched that Global Genes video again that ibroome has, the one where the piano didn't work so Christina sang with no music (I know you have seen it because you wrote a comment 8 months ago). Christina talks about the people in attendance, saying "Everyone in this room-every single one of you in this room are all heroes, and thank you for everything that you do and all the hard work you put in. You're so amazing." I think she realized that _she_ was also in the room, and she had to exclude herself. I realize I am speculating a bit but it seems Christina would not have considered herself a hero in any sense, even though she was exactly that to so many. She may have been the hardest-working and most amazing person in that room, but it probably would never have occurred to her. Maybe that's how it had to be, but it makes me a bit sad to think that she never understood how extraordinary she was in so many ways.
I think you are right too and that may be why she almost cried when I told her that she made a difference (in this world). I don't know if anyone ever came right out and told her that before.
Scott Roberts That would have been around the same time this was filmed. When when most people were probably incoherent and not thinking clearly, you with your perspective and insight may have given her one of the best gifts it is possible to give. I am not very good with words so I don't know what to call it, but whatever it is, it's that. We probably wouldn't be dissecting everything this way if not for what was done to Christina. It bothers me to think that she was barely surviving, along with the rest of her family since they were all together in this, and that she had some sort of insecurity about herself that she couldn't really get past. I should have seen it before but I was blind. Knowing what we know now, I wish we could redo these past months and make everything better. At least you did something when you had the chance, which is more than I can say. Thank you again Scott.
I told her that on the final day of filming. She also said in a later interview that Side B would be more upbeat and fun. So what ever it was she was putting it behind her. She didn't write just about herself but what she saw around her and in the world.
Pillsnobills, 1. I Think your choice of words is perfect. 2. Christina was not destitute in any stretch of the imagination. She actually had a very profitable business going there and let me remind all that it was a business that she herself created out of thin air.
WOW!!! This girl can make the whole world smile!!:):):) Such Power, Emotion and Passion in her voice . Christina will never cease to amaze me with any song ,cover or video. Thanks again Scott. Have a nice evening .Yes, Team Grimmie does Rawwk!!! Steve :):)
crap i went to see some old videos of Christina and man i just broke down. I can't freaking sleep ugh damn. I miss you Christina Grimmie as does Team Grimmie Rest in peace.
I like your interpretation because I relate a lot more to that...I'm not at the age that I'm dating anyone yet, so that is a nice way to see it for me. Thank you! I really enjoy your vlogs! :)
Hello again. I like what you said about the second meaning and I agree. Christina was very wise, and clever. Beautiful voice as always. Was anyone else impressed with her acting?? I liked when she put up her hand like (not now) That''s my girl :) Thank u Scott for this upload. I'm looking forward to the next one. I liked your dancing by the way.
Yes, I was impressed with her acting. I always knew she would do well, but quite frankly, she exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to she her in the sailboat scene in The Matchbreaker. It is my opinion, that after the release of her full length album with Stephen Rezza which would have been followed shortly after by Side B, is that Christina was going to put her music on the back burner and pursue an acting career full time. Do not forget that NBC saw something in her and were grooming her as well. Maybe I'm just full of hot air, but that was how I saw the events as they were going to unfold.
Legal87 I respect your opinion. Yes of course she did love singing and writing music. Being an independent in the music industry is extrangentfully expensive. Band members have to be kept on retainers and of course touring costs are out of this world. As an actor, your only upkeep is your personal appearance. It is significantly less expensive and I know for sure that Christina would have blended both perfectly.
You asked for it Scott (sorry, because I am younger - Mr. Scott. It sounds more gentle :) ) . Please don't be angry for my words - just wanted to talk to #TeamGrimmie and provide a dialog, so much needed by us these days... I don't think, that you are crazy at any of your amazing interpretation. I think also that, if we talk about what we saw on previous video (THAT girl with Luke), your reflection is absolutely correct and fits perfectly to the meaning of the movie. Any interpretation probably could be right, and shows something AMAZING - shows how magic was EVERYTHING Christina gave us. Everything has something hidden, a second floor below. All Team Grimmie members were amazing for Her and everyone of us is individual, unique - She knew it always. Amazing is, that we usually see the same performance, the same Christina, but we see an individual "message" for everyone of us. That's the reason we can not only feel unique but find something universal but specified at once in every song, video, anything! I would like to also share my reflection - as we know, Christina was (She still IS!) a Christian and truly loved God. Titles of songs, words, gestures used inside are in my opinion like a talk with Lord. She wanted to be loved by Him and She always wanted to express it. "Side A" is something magic - 4 songs, 1 story and... 1 dialog between God and Christina. Maybe you think, that I am wrong, but this is my interpretation. What do you think? And... thank you for everything! I am always by your side, because every video, every tweet we share each other is direct message, that we are together, that Team Grimmie RaWWks and can be forever! Thank you very much! May the Christina be with Yu!
I agree. I will be touching on the same theory in vlog for "Without Him" in which I think she is also referencing God. You see her point up sometimes while singing it live.
Absolutely! I believe next video will be also much longer than "Deception". Interesting was, as you also noticed, that ending was... magic and mysterious. Phenomenal end of song but without any history-outro.. Thank you for answer - very quick! You rawwks! Please accept my (virtual only, but who knows :) ) great hug... I know that we need it 💚💚💚
Scott, Thanks for your reaction to the video which I thought once again is so fantastic. I agree there was more then one meaning in this song Christina wrote. But, I believe that Christina wrote this song because she broke up with her fiancée and he never really cared for her. Sometimes it takes awhile to discover that about someone. Christina did say in a live chat at the end of 2015 that she was engaged and she had a ring on her finger. In the next video, there is no ring, so if you read between the lines, that is why Christina wrote this song. I can't wait for the last video but it makes me sad that that is the last one, But let's be grateful that we do have these to watch. Take care, ScottTeamgrimmie strong!!!
Yes, in a chat video a fan asked her if she was engaged because she had a ring on her finger, She said Yes, to a guy named James, but in the next chat video I watched right after that video she had no ring on her finger. No, she did not mention breaking up with him but I it was probably to painful for her to talk about and I am sure she did not want to mention it to fans, so I believe after the breakup is when Christina wrote the song "Deception"
+Richard White Actually, Christina never got engaged. During a live stream around Christmas, someone asked if she was engaged. She responds, and I quote, "did I get engaged? Um, no. I'm just obsessed with rings. So… Actually I'm supposed to be wearing it on this finger (holds up her right ring finger) um, but, this finger (holds up left ring finger with ring) is the only one it fits on. So… Wait! Actually that's not true. I wonder if it…fits on this one (tries putting ring on her right ring finger) Nope it doesn't (holds up her right hand with the ring halfway on) so… so it's gonna have to fit on this one. (puts ring back on left ring finger) Um, I just love diamond rings. It's really, uh, it's interesting, but I, I do." Later on in the live stream, she teases that she is married to Ken, a magma character. She was, however dating Stephen Rezza for a couple months before her passing, but she never was engaged.
Thanks Abbey for the truth. She said she was dating a guy names James in the live chat I was watching, I think it was on Christmas Eve, 2015, I am sure you feel the same as me. I have never been so heartbroken about a celebrity passing. I have heard of Stephen Rezza. He was a very lucky man to date her. She must have been such blast to hang out with which is what makes her Murder a triple heartbreak. I think she wrote the song "Deception" about the guy she was dating, probably Stephen. She had the most beautiful heart, but, thanks for saying the truth. I Loved Christina so much and miss her so much. God bless You!!!
You never seize to make us smile with your commentary on all your videos about such an all around beautiful person. Thank you Scott!!!
Scott, your videos is really helping me with getting thorugh this hard time ❤️ Thank you so much! Team Grimmie Rawwks \|/

This is in my opinion a very beautiful and extremely accurate insight of what Christina is all about!

Best music I've ever heard
hey Scott, I liked your commentary
I agree and it's wonderful
i saw the change in your channels about page. keep up the good work
Could you do a review on your with love cd?
I really enjoyed the video, not looking forward to next week but am......since its the last one :(
That sounds pretty accurate

I thought she liked singing a lot. Doubt that she will put music on the back burner for acting, though the reverse might be true.
I think she could have hosted "The Voice" if called upon if Carson lost his voice or something.
Scott Roberts me too.
