The Demi Lovato Appreciation Thread
 

Really like this song. Always enjoyed Demi's music, she's probably the only Disney alum who can actually sing well without the need for autotune. This song is rather stripped back and it was recorded just before Demi started treatment for her eating disorder. Performed well in America, was #1 on iTunes for a few days and debuted at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 last Thursday.

Her third studio album is called Unbroken and is released on September 20th 2011. :amazed: Preview of the album cover:

She's worked with Rock Mafia, Timbaland (who's wanted to record with Demi for years), Ryan Tedder and Kara DioGuardio to name a few and she's said in an interview that this album will be more pop than her previous albums.

Really looking forward to this album and I haven't been excited about many at all this year, so I'm hoping it won't disappoint.

She looks stunning :worship:

-likes skyscraper- :blush:

:D

I love it, it shows off her vocals, and you can feel the emotion and rawness because it was done just before she went into rehab, it reminds me of early Kelly Clarkson material.

Unbroken tracklist:


1. All Night Long (Featuring Missy Elliott & Timbaland)
2. Who’s That Boy (Featuring Dev)
3. You’re My Only Shorty (Featuring Iyaz)
4. Together (Featuring Jason Derulo)
5. Lightweight
6. Unbroken
7. Fix a Heart
8. Hold Up
9. Mistake
10. Give Your Heart a Break
11. Skyscraper
12. In Real Life
13. My Love is Like a Star
14. For The Love of a Daughter
15. Skyscraper (Wizz Dumb Remix)

can't wait to hear "All Night Long", this Timbaland collaboration has been talked about for aaages so I'm hoping it'll be really good. "You're My Only Shorty" is such a cringeworthy song title, I hope the song itself will be better. Aston Merrygold from JLS is credited as a writer on "Hold Up" too, got a feeling it'll be bad. I wish Iyaz and Jason Derulo weren't featuring on songs as well. :(

One week until Unbroken :amazed: :amazed:

Really glad it hasn't leaked, she's worked on this album for 2 years so I hope it doesn't. Got it pre-ordered anyway so I can wait another seven days.

All Night Long leaked and it's amazing :love: Reminds me of Ashlee Simpson's Outta My Head



:worship:

Isn't she a mess nowadays? Like hasn't she gone off the rails? I thought she was a goody-two shoes Disney kid.

What a silly thread.

She had an eating disorder which she went to rehab for earlier this year. She was cutting herself too and it all came to a head when she punched a female dancer on her tour. She's fine now though.


What a silly member

I don't care for her music, but my boy Iyaz is on the album. So I'll definitely buy it.

Oh right. :suspect: I just remember seeing every so often a while back, "Demi Lovato goes crazy blah blah" or something like that on the net but I didn't know why.

I might give her album a go. We'll have to see though. :suspect:

Yeah, it was sort of shocking at the time because she had always been portayed as the cleanest cut Disney girl, but she had been self harming herself for a while. :( It's good that she's so open about it though because it will probably spur the people going through the same issues to get treatment.

Her first two albums are good, they have a pop/soft rock feel to them, that was her style at the time but this upcoming third album is much more pop and R&B.

My sister's obsessed with Skyscraper atm haha

Beautiful song :love:

Who's That Boy (feat. Dev) :love:



this album is shaping up to be great

30 second preview of all the songs



:worship:

How can you not love this girl?! Such a nice video from Demi and Fix a Heart sounds amazing! Hurry up September 20th!

edit: Unbroken has leaked, I won't be listening to it until Tuesday but you should be able to find a link online pretty easily. Only track I've listened to is Fix a Heart and it's just beautiful, I can see it being my favorite Demi song ever. :love: Listen here:

Just heard Demi's version of "You're My Only Shorty" and Ariana's version is ALOT better. No comparison really.

Best songs on the Album

Yet to listen, ah it's killing me! I paid £18 for the import to arrive tomorrow, it better come! Only heard All Night Long, Who's That Boy, Skyscraper and Fix a Heart so far. Fix a Heart is amazing, her ballads are always brilliant. :love:

Not to keen on the album, the ballads are nice, but the rest is just a bit meh, it'll probably grow though

I love all the ballads on the album.

Lightweight, Skyscraper, For The Love of a Daughter, Fix a Heart :love:

I've heard Lightweight is better than Catch Me so I can't wait to hear it.

Second single confirmed as the uber radio friendly Who's That Boy featuring Dev :D

My least favourite :(

Finally got my copy today, another great album from Demi. :worship: Probably prefer Here We Go Again a little more but it's still consistently great and much better than all the other Disney alum's albums. Fix a Heart still my favorite track, I love the rawness of it and the effects they add to her voice are pretty cool. It has to be a single at some point. The title track Unbroken and Lightweight are both amazing too. All the ballads are good even though I would have liked one or two more upbeat songs. I can see why Who's That Boy is the second single, it has a real radio friendly feel to it, I hope it does well.

It debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 this week, with sales of 96,000. Not as good as HWGA's debut but still good figures.

can't stop listening to Unbroken :lovedup:
Such a good album. "Unbroken" and "Fix a Heart" are my two faves but I love the Xtina esque ad libs in "In Real Life", I also love how unautotuned the album is, it showcases her amazing voice. She's in a different league vocally to Selena and Miley.

The second single will now be "Give Your Heart a Break" instead. :)

Skyscraper is being used as the background music for a trailer of BBC One's new drama "Prisoners Wives". :D I think it's getting a UK release soon and hopefully she will do lots of promo here.

Skyscraper is finally getting UK airplay. It's the VIP Track of the week on all the music channels and Radio 1 have playlisted it. I think it's gunna go top 10 when it's released next month. :D

Skyscraper was finally released in the UK at midnight and it's already 38 on iTunes. I really hope it can go top ten, I would love for it to beat that God awful new Dappy single.

Skyscraper peaked at 32 over here, becoming her highest charting single to date in the UK. Impressive considering she did no promo.

also Demi's personal documentary about her issues with bulimia and self harming "Stay Strong" airs next Tuesday on MTV UK. It's well worth a watch.
