HERE SHE IS

“are you ready for your singing lessons, ladies?” barbara streisand gulped. mariah carey nodded meekly. lady gaga stands at attention. “yes, christine.” they say in unison.

This is everything I ever needed in my life

She’s finally being herself again. God bless 2018.

i'm so glad christine isn't letting elijah and tana and whoever the fuck else bring her down with the drugs. good for her for taking care of herself & getting away from them.

I’m proud that Christine is trying to change and stop drinking. I’m going to miss the duo but ever since that long break and Elijah started hanging out with Tana they just weren’t the same

This feels way more authentic. I love Elijah but his whole new image is annoying now. What a strong single mother

CHRISTINE GROWING AND INTERACTING WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE IS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THIS

Omfg I thought that Christine was walking into Colleen’s house with an AK47 but it was just a tripod 😩

Mom’s finally come home from the war

Christine is the actual cutest human ever omg.

I'll hella watch you play Sims and rant about things

not to be dramatic but i'd fuckin die for Christine

good to see my mom staying strong after the divorce

I'm not saying this to demean the content you created alongside Elijah, I know you two are very good friends and had a lot of fun creating that content, it was certainly fun to watch, but I always felt like you were playing a character, and I really fucking missed your car rants. I'm really damn happy we're getting back to having sit-down talks with you. I love hearing what's on your mind. I'm also interested to see what direction your content takes from here, and wishing you the best of luck! You're a comedic genius Christine, the sky is your limit.

I'm very proud of you for stepping aside and making healthier decisions that benefit you at the end of the day. I stopped watching a little while ago because it's heartbreaking watching someone you see struggling dive further down into a hole, but this is you climbing out and saying, "Fuck you, hole!" I can't wait to see what you have in store for us! Take 2018 by the balls and keep growing as an artist.

I'm so glad Christine is doing this solo channel. I felt like she was getting left out a lot at the end of the channel with Elijah and now she gets to do the nerdy shit she likes and make content she loves and doesn't have to play a character like Elijah was saying and doesn't have to go out and party when she doesn't want to.

"I'm a single mom I have a dog. Just kidding probably offensive to single moms" lol I'm dead

ummm, colleen's house is pretty much everything

Tbh I'm happy they split. Christine was why I watched in the first place.

Colleen: “singing is all about confidence!” Christine: “..I have..not..that” 😂😂😂

play the intro at my funeral

WHY WAS THIS MY FAVOURITE COLLAB OF 2018 ALREADY

Just a little disclaimer: idk Christine, never watched any of her videos (don't hate me). Just saw Colleen in the thumbnail, so I clicked. That said, I wish (you) the best of luck on your new journey! It's tough taking on the world by yourself, but you seem like a smart person, so you got this!! Love watching people step out of their comfort zone and be vulnerable. One of the few times you learn A LOT about yourself. Awesome to see Colleen in her element, teaching someone how to sing.. one of her biggest passions. Christine, 2018 can be YOUR year! This can be the start of a completely NEW YOU! So happy for you! 💚☺

i am 8000% here for your new content, especially sims. sign me tf up

I had a feeling this would happen where elijah and Christine stop making videos together. Ever since he’s started hanging out with his new crew I’ve noticed seeing less and less of Christine and it made me really sad. I’m glad it didn’t stop you though!! ❤️

She literally got better through the video what is life

Lets just take a moment to acknowledge the fact that Christine linked Elijahs channel in her description but Elijah didn't do the same. Take that as you will.

Colleen: you look uh...terrified Christine: yes

for a minute i was like "that girl is probably judging christine inside her head" and then i remembered that she's miranda sings

If You make a collab with Shane, that would be everything.

omg i love this new concept on the channel! also, please collab with shane dawson ♥️

oh my god i never knew i needed a christine plays sims series until now

I’m glad that I can exclusively support and enjoy Christine individually 😊

Lol did Colleen turn into Miranda at the end? “Don’t touch me, get out” 😂

Oh no!!!! ...what are we gonna do without Elijah holding the camera and screaming “Christine” the entire time? 🙄🙄 we all know Christine was the content ...u were good together but u are ok without him. I look forward to your content, I’m a forever follower and subscriber.

love you and this new direction youre going in! please do a collab video with Jenna and Julien and have a doggy play date!!!

I love this. You can tell that Christine is genuinely happy doing this content and I’m so glad, I stan

tbh i thought elijah's rapping was part-comedy, but when i realized how serious he's trying to take it it kinda got awkward. they just seem so different now.

my opinion BUT i’m so happy christine and elijah split. the high point, for me, of their combined channel was when tom and nick lived with them as well. after nick moved out, and tom moved back to the uk it was just elijah filming christine because she had the humor, she was the funny one that made the vlogs interesting, he just remembered to carry the camera around and do out tros....i really couldn’t stand to watch the vlogs anymore, he just annoyed me. i’m really happy he found something he enjoys, such as making music, and i’m super happy christine is making her own videos!!! 💝💝

Its like finding out my parents are getting a divorce but then realizing how much happier they'll be as friends. I feel like I'm watching my mom find her individuality in new experiences and then giving up on that to go home and watch tv.

Collab with Jenna Marbles! She can do a ratchet salon with you and teach you how to do your own acrylic nails!!!

seeing christine all happy makes me so happy

I am absolutely here for the solo Christine content

this intro is what i’ve singed up for

Christine needs to collab with Shane

christine singing is the greatest thing ever

This was the cutest shit ever. love the re branding.

I swear Christine will have atleast 5mill subs by the end of the year and be so succesful😭🔥

Why is this the purest content

“Singing is all about confidence!” “I have not that” Lmaoooo me

As soon as she said “I dont have to wear pants, im not wearing pants right now” i hit that subscribe button

Christine, I am so damn proud of you. For not letting yourself be tied down to a channel that doesn't make you happy anymore. For distancing yourself from someone who you obviously care about, but isn't making the best choices right now. For stepping out of your comfort zone & posting a video unlike anything you've uploaded before. & for staying true to who you really are despite how scary it can be to do that. Your channel will excel because you are so much fun to watch. I loved this video & I am truly so happy for you & wish you nothing but the best ♡

OH MY GOD CHRISTINE AND COLLEEN

Rip to Christine and Elijah but tbh I always thought Christine was the funnier of the two - good luck to the both of them but in this household we only stan 1 icon (my queen)

i’ve been irritated and unable to watch elijah lately, but i’ve missed you!!! this is so good i’m glad yr making yr own content 💕💗💜

Her intro is the reason why I want to be her. I admire you so much Christine!

Christine by herself again is what I needed in life. This is where the quality always was. ❤️

Ok okay okay Christine is so amazing and so pure. She is actually going to be a RU-vidr instead of doing vlogs. I am excited for her future and excited to see her evolve as a person. It was good for her and Elijah to separate. He’s going down a shit path and she’s choosing to be her true self while being safe and still having fun in positive environments.

Colleen has such a beautiful voice.

im laughing at the cut from ur studio apartment to her giant ass house and ur reaction to it lmao thats the most relatable thing ive ever seen in my adult life

omg I totally ship this friendship

I’m happy for you Christine! I’m glad you’re still friends with Elijah, but I must be honest and say that you are gonna thrive without him really around. I think Elijah has a lot of potential and it saddens me that he kind of lowers himself down to this more “social media-esque” sense of humor. Just dumb shit for the hell of it. I hope he finds a way out of that eventually.

I love this changes a lot. Honestly, the past videos where funny and everything but they make me worry, about the health and lifestyle of both of you. I stopped drinking a lot and taking heavy drugs recently, so im glad im not alone :). Love you.

I love that this isn't just about you making a weird face for three seconds. But actually getting to know another side of you (and it's still funny).

Christine is totally thriving as a solo RU-vidr... and this is only here first video alone in a while

this was a really wholesome video and i look forward to seeing what else you'll be putting out in 2018! i couldn't stop smiling over your own happiness and pride from learning how to sing within an afternoon. it made me feel good about myself too

YES SIMS VIDEOS with Christine!! This is what I’ve been dreaming of!

*new year new sweatshirt*

I felt like you guys were going to split because Elijah was partying and you were coloring your coloring book

A Drew Monson collab better be in the works!

I thought Christine was holding an AK-47 at 2:28

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE RANTS, AND GAMING, AND SCARY GAMES

wow colleens house is beautiful

*_I can now die in peace_*

Honestly she's really good when she gets into it! when she tries to be funny she loses key Also that giggle was so fucking cute Also also I forgot how pretty Colleen is

I am so unbelievably happy that Christine left Elijah. This video was perfect and hilarious and I can't wait to see more!! Elijah was 100% holding her back

i hope what i say won't be seen as hurtful, but i am so happy you are by yourself again. i really like elijah and enjoyed the videos you two created, but something happened. videos became more scarce and just sad to watch. as a fat girl, i was so fucking happy watching christine on vine and even more happy when she came to youtube. christine wasn't the joke, she made the jokes. that is amazing for fat girls. we often make jokes based on our weight. suddenly, i saw christine become the joke. i was sad and heartbroken because it wasn't even funny. mixed with drug and alcohol jokes, i got turned off. i always wanted christine to continue to do great things even if i wasn't watching her, but now i can watch the christine i admired. a funny, badass bitch who didn't need to rely on her weight or a t-shirt to be funny. excited to see what the future has for you christine, i hope you achieve everything you want and more ❤

My heart drop when I heared her say "I'm a single mom"

I’m so glad you and Elijah aren’t making content together anymore, you’re so much better off without him. Although I wasn’t there and don’t know what happened between you guys I kinda felt like you were growing up and he just wanted to hang onto his youth. I wish you the best, I really really hope you keep making videos and having fun, I know I’ll always be here to watch them and support you. 💗

I'm so happy and excited for you :''))

Lmao I thought Christine was walking up to the door with a machine gun at first!

There are so many youtubers that I want Christine to collab with. I feel like she’s just a person that could get along with anyone

You can see Christine having so much fun, I love this new thing, I was unsuscribe for a moment but now that Christine is back I am too

Ideas for future vids: you mentioned a healthier lifestyle which included you cooking meals for yourself. What if every once in a while you try to cook a new meal for the first time? I know it's not all that grand and marvelous but you can always make things entertaining. (i just remembered the coloring video in one of the old vlogs and it was super relaxing AND ENTERTAINING!)

6:09 Christine: DOE! Colleen: No. why did i laugh so hard

SIMS LETS PLAY WOULD BE SO HILARIOUS FROM YOU PLEASE

COLLAB WITH JENNA MARBLES!!!!

Christine seems like such a fun person to be friends with

I NEVER comment on videos but I couldn't help but smile throughout this whole video bc YOU LOOK SO HAPPY AND IT LOOK'S LIKE YOU'RE HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU FOR DOING THIS.

Pls do a gaming collab with Jenna Marbles!! I would die for my queens to be reunited!!!

I’m so happy to see this. She looks like she grew up and she is really talented and I think this is the best for her. I love her humor and I didn’t see a lot of that lately

I also agree this split needed to happen. I'm so glad that you're doing much better. I feel this is more you than what we saw before. Take care of you. Looking forward to it

I love this!!!! Christine you seem so much happier and so much more authentic!!! Those old videos made your life seem dirty and sad but I can see so much more light in you and who you truly are. I can’t wait for more content 💖

Colleen seems like a genuinely nice person, wow.

I’m so happy with this switch, i’ve always loved Christine’s content more (she’s quite genuine) i’m also happy that she’s doing what she wants and living a safe/happy life

I’m so excited to see you play the sims omg

Christine's scales🤣😂......video instantly demonitized. I also think there lives being in what appeared to be chaos is, what also lead to her an Elijah parting ways. Like seriously they moved soo many times this past year for reasons I'm sure were people related. But I'm here for the new Christine. I liked her car rants.

That intro is my favourite lmao
