    At a certain point it starts to sound like the same thing over and over again, but demi is a wonderful vocalist and I still think it was a nice album.

    Demi actually tried to changes her comfort zone, but it didn't actually work. We had some powerfull songs like Stone Cold, Father and Wildfire. But by other side, we had some commercial songs, like Confident and Kindgdom come.

    Confident did well as a pop album, but Demi failed about the concept of the album. The feat with Iggy is a powerful song(shallow lyric), it should be a single so Demi would finally get her Grammy nomination.    … Expand

    A Disappoiting Album, for who said that wanted to win Grammy's this one is very weak...............
    But "For You","Lionheart" & "Cool For The Summer" are absolutely incredible... But this one isn't the Best album Of Demi i continue with Here We Go Again 2009 and Demi 2013..

    Em comparação aos outros álbuns da Lovato esse não é um trabalho ruim, chega a ser bom. Mas ainda acho o Here We Go Again o melhor álbum dela, os outros só tentam ser melhores.

    A Strong voice, there's no doubt. But need more than it to make a good pop album. The songs seem threw in without a line, the songs seem the same. Some seems a lot of scream, the album cover is not what the songs say. Demi is trying to be Confident, but her work on Confident don't show me it.

    O album está bom não esta otimo porque tem muitas farofas e musicas chatinhas, Mas algumas musicas são hinarias que pra mim são as melhores da demi, Me agradou muito.

    kind of that pure pop average stuff. starting off the album with her first single 'cool for the summer' she kind of was trying to go mainstream. I feel like she can do so much better.

    Demi did the same thing again! She did the only thing she knows, I could not see nothing new! I'm giving 6 because the album has cool songs like "Confident"! I really hope she can do something better and new! XO

    Lovato has been looking for her moment, but unfortunately, Confident does not seem to be her shining glory. Strong belts and emotional ballads bring her some of the way, but not all of the way there.

Demi does have high highs, such as the incredible "Father" and the bop "Cool for the Summer" produced by Max Martin, but she also has extremely low lows, such as "Stars" and "Waitin For You." Choosing Iggy Azalea and Sirah as features also prove to be problematic to the album. Overall, the album is almost solid; Demi just needs to be more consistent and differentiate her sound.

    Thing about this album, the tracks were either a hit or a miss. You had hits like Confident, Lionheart, and Mr. Hughes, but there were also some duds like Cool For The Summer (Yes; I didn't like that one), Wildfire, and Stars. Unfortunately, I found most of the album pretty bottom-heavy, but its bright spots were shining strong.

    A decent mainstream pop album. Some good songs here and there. And Demi sounds pretty good.
    Pretty decent overall. Not amazing or anything, but it's alright

    I have been waiting for this because I wanted another Demi, a different work. A new work. This is DEMI with a summer song. Lovato really disappointed me.

    Demi não me surpreendeu em nada no album, sempre a mesma coisa, agora só está mais trabalhado, varias musicas tem "gritos" desnecessários, parece que ela não consegue cantar sem gritar, tem algumas musicas boas, e outras que cairam na mesma coisa de sempre.

    The album does have stand tracks like "Confident" / "Father" & "Waitin' For You" but there isn't a vibe that she had on her last album, i got bored really quickly and tried really hard to be sexy when i really isn't, she is at her best when she belts out songs like 'Confident' because at least that song is exciting unlike 'Kingdom Come' and 'Yes' which are really bad.

    Sim, é um bom álbum, mas não vejo nada de especial nele, pra alguém que quer indicação ao Grammy, acho que ela não está no caminho correto. Stone Cold é uma preciosidade perto de tanta música mais ou menos.

    She is screaming too much, the songs begin well but at the end it looks like she lost control. Is overproduced and have some terrible lyrics like the "band-aid" verse on "Waiting for You". But I have to say that "yes" and "father" and maybe "Kingdom Come" are great songs.

    É a Demi, sua voz poderosa permanece, mas em conjunto como um todo, é muito previsível, não há nada de inovador quanto a seus outros álbuns, me lembra um pouco Ariana e Adele.

    A Really OVERRATED Album.

    Any other album of Demi Lovato is better than this yes any other album, Unbroken (2011) is better, Demi (2013) is better, Here We Go Again (2009) is lights years better Even Don't Forget (2008) the most disney album is better than this one.

    Full of trash melodies. Demi if you want win one,two or three grammys, you can do better. you ever done.

    Em seu quinto álbum, Demi Lovato traz uma mensagem de confiança, já no título, e auto empoderamento depois de tantos momentos que ela passou. Todavia, o trabalho soa como uma versão 2.0 do DEMI.

Demi não precisa para provar para mais ninguém que tem um bom alcance vocal, e ficar reforçando isso a cada música pode soar muito enjoativo. É necessário que a cantora se reinvente e possa buscar um som que soa realmente natural nela. Foi um álbum bem mediano.… Expand

    É triste ver o fim que se tomou. Um linda voz mas com uma pobreza em letras e produção. Tem melódicos pontos altos, como Wildfire e Lionheart, mas decepciona no quesito letra. Quem sabe em uma outra oportunidade a gravadora tome mais cuidado e consiga produtores mais qualificados para trabalhar com essa voz unica que a Demi tem.

    Demi Lovato's fifth studio LP is the album she was born to make: a brassy, sleek, dynamic pop production that lets her powerful voice soar to new emotional highs.

    Lovato mistakes the ability to cram as many syllables as possible into each word with virtuosity. And the album likewise mistakes overwrought for confident.

    Too often equating emotion with shouting (see the final third of Father), Confident doesn’t quite elevate Lovato to where she needs to be.
