With a mixed set list of songs from all three of her albums, the highlights were Demi's "Catch Me"/Don't Forget" medley, "Fix A Heart," my personal favorite "Lightweight" and a cover of Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger." Watch videos of all four performances below:

‎5 days, 5 artists, 5 songs! Day 3: Top 5 - Demi Lovato

Not only does Demi have an awe-inspiring voice, but she herself has become an inspiration to so many people all over the world with her story, and her music. Between the pop rock love songs and the inspirational ballads, here are my all time favorite Demi Lovato songs:

"This Is Me"
Who hasn't felt what Demi sings in this song from Camp Rock? "This Is Me" gave you the first real glimpse of Demi's amazing voice back in 2008, ad not long after did her debut album come out. "This Is Me" may be a Disney bubble gum pop song, but the feeling Demi puts into the song makes it so much more than that.

"Don't Forget"
An emotional ballad that turns into a rock anthem, "Don't Forget" pure genius in my opinion. It's my favorite song off of Demi's debut album, and really showcases how great Demi's voice is.

"Here We Go Again"
The title track of her sophomore album, "Here We Go Again" was one of my songs of the summer of 2009. This catchy pop rock song is one of the best from Demi, with it's fun, summery beat and edgy heartbreak lyrics.

"Skyscraper"
The first single off of Demi's third album Unbroken, "Skyscraper" is emotional and uplifting as Demi sings about rising up like a skyscraper. Inspiring and powerful, "Skyscraper" is definitely one of my favorite songs of Demi's.

"Lightweight"
"Lightweight" is my favorite song off of Demi's Unbroken, for a lot of reasons. Not only is it a catchy and well written song, but the lyrics are completely relatable. If you consider yourself a 'lightweight' and have someone in your life you keeps you from falling apart, this song is probably your life story.

Album Review: Demi Lovato - Unbroken

Demi Lovato is back with a brand new album, Unbroken, out today. As much as I love Demi and her previous albums, some of the songs on this album confused me, mainly the duets. Collaborating with hip hop artists like Dev on "Who's That Boy?" and Iyaz on "You're My Only Shorty", among others, and singing in a genre that's unfamiliar to her was a mistake in my opinion. I thought Unbroken was supposed to represent Demi's maturity and strength, and the first four songs on this album are anything but that.

Tracks 5-15 on the other hand, are the Demi I know and love, and with that mature and strong sound I was looking for. Some songs are soulful like the moving "Lightweight" and inspiring "Skyscraper", some are pop like the funky "Unbroken" and "Hold Up", and some are pop ballads like the deep "Fix A Heart" and the emotional "For The Love of a Daughter". Then there's even a dash of a more R&B feel with "My Love is Like a Star". All together the perfect blend of Demi's better sounds with good songs and her unique and powerful voice.

These sad but inspirational songs go deep into the heart of Demi, and this album seems like it was her way to divulge to the world things that she's never been able to utter before. These songs have a realness to them unlike any of Demi's songs in the past. Though this album had some songs a little different from what I expected, I really enjoyed the last 10 out of the 15 and there's definitely a few favorites in there for me. With the good outweighing the bad, all in all, it's an acceptable comeback album.
