‎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.

Demi Lovato performs "Skyscraper" half English/half Spanish at ALMA Awards 2011


Not only was Demi Lovato among the winners at the ALMA Awards 2011, winning the award for Favorite TV Actress - Leading role in a Comedy for starring in Sonny With A Chance, but Demi also was one of the performers. Demi performed her new single "Skyscraper" off of her third studio album, out Tuesday. Demi, dressed in a beautiful red dress with an intriguing prop behind her - the look of a dark night and a tree, with hearts, some broken and some full, hanging off of it's leafless branches - performed the first half of the song in English, then sang the second verse and chorus in Spanish for the night's theme, then ended the song in English as she rose up on a small ledge, above the tree.

Song Review: Demi Lovato - Skyscraper


After months of recuperation, working on music and finding her own inner strength, Demi Lovato is back with a brand new single. The highly anticipated "Skyscraper" was released on July 12th and is, in my opinion, the perfect "come back" single for Demi. 

Throughout the song, Demi sings about things and people trying to tear her down, but in the end she'll be rising like a skyscraper. This simile reminds me a lot of David Archuleta's songs, as he's always comparing life to things that rise up (i.e. "Elevator", "Parachutes And Airplanes", etc.) 

I think this song is the perfect way to describe Demi; as hard as things have been for her this past year, she's still standing strong, and she's not going to let anything knock her down. Even if her vocals aren't up to par in this song, the imperfections make the song even better, making it even more raw and emotional.

And if this new release isn't exciting enough, Demi recently announced that her next album will be out on September 20th! be on the look out for more from Demi and don't forget to follow @ddlovato on twitter!
