    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. " STONE COLD" es para mi la mejor canción del álbum, tal ves suene simple pero la calidad vocal de Lovato es impresionante y claro su sentimiento. Confident es uno de los mejores trabajos de Lovato espero siga superandose.… Expand

    It's a good album, but it's not the kind of album that you say: "OMG I NEED TO HEAR IT AGAIN". There are good songs, but stone cold is the worst of the album, she tried to show her amazing voice and the song stayed bad.It's a good album, but it is not the best of 2015

    Apesar de toda a expectativa para com esse álbum, não achei que a Srª. Demi Lovato tenha correspondido a todas, pois simplesmente não passa de mais um álbum genérico em meio ao mar desgostoso que é o POP da atualidade. Mas nem tudo foi ruim, algumas músicas se destacam, como é o caso da parceria com Iggy Azalea, e Old Ways, que lembra bastante Too Little Too Late da JoJo, à respeito.

Esto no sucedió con Confident, es un buen disco pero Demi Lovato sigue sin arriesgarse lo suficiente y sin salirse de su zona de confort. No hay mucha diferencia entre "DEMI" y "Confident", fácilmente todas estas nuevas canciones pudieron ser tracks de la re-edición de "DEMI". Sin embargo muchas de las canciones en el disco no serán fácil de olvidar. Las mejores en mi opinión: Confident, For You, Stone Cold, Kingdom Come, Lionheart, Yes y Father.… Expand

    É um álbum bem mediano. Demi pode até ter quebrado barreiras? pode. Mas não me surpreendeu muito. O material contém ótimas faixas, mas tem umas que só a misericórdia. Enfim.

    Bom, mas nada muito impressionante, "Confident" mostra uma evolução de Demi em relação a seus trabalhos anteriores, embora ainda escorregue ao possuir faixas clichês como "Cool for the Summer". Um disco competente.

    Eu considero o Confident o divisor de águas da Demi. Aqui, ela está a um passo de realmente conseguir encontrar o seu verdadeiro rumo musical. No álbum, existe músicas ruins, como "Waitin For You", medianas, como "Stars", boas, como "For You" e uma maravilhosa chamada "Kingdom Come". Ou seja, em quase todos os níveis.

    Demi Lovato at the beginning of his career has always shown a talented artist, but at the same time a singer "weak" and fragile. With "Unbroken" she tried to get out of this role, but in a childish manner that is not marked his career in any way. He promised "Confident" as a strong album,> confident

    confident is absolutely incredible. demi's vocals are flawless and there is so much emotion in Lionheart, stone cold, and father. stars, old ways and cool for the summer are songs to dance too and even old ways has a deeper meaning. confident is an empowering anthem with incredible high notes at the end. for you really displays demi's vocals. overall, this album is the best pop album of 2015.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    This is a really bland album with almost no creativity. I liked a few of the songs (Cool for the Summer, Kingdom Come), but most of it is just very dull, even for a pop album. I'll admit that Demi is a very talented vocalist, but hearing her belt it out track after track gets exhausting. And it doesn't help that the music and lyrics are really underwhelming.

I'll admit that Demi is a very talented vocalist, but hearing her belt it out track after track gets exhausting. And it doesn't help that the music and lyrics are really underwhelming. Half the songs are pretty standard pop/dance tracks, and the other half are soulful ballads, so it's kind of a weird, uneven collection of songs. Maybe if she didn't have 500 different producers writing cookie cutter songs for her, she'd finally be able to put out an album that does justice to her vocal talents.… Expand

    “Confident” is the name, confidence is what she is trying to show, but it is all a lie. Demi has said on Twitter she really wants a Grammy award, she would do her best to get it and “Confident” is Demi’s try to do it. A bad try. The songs don’t show the idea of the album: confidence. She is totally phoning about it in the whole tracks. Sometimes they seem as Demi’s old albums, with her“Confident” is the name, confidence is what she is trying to show, but it is all a lie.

    I feel like this album has no identity at all, there's no memorable track. All tracks are good in the first 15 seconds but the quality goes downhill on the chorus. But her voice is getting a lot better, I can't wait to hear her next record.

    First with the harsh stuff: Confident is filled with lack luster beats and is a little set back from her previous work. This albums tries to portray Demi's voice in a variety of mediums: as an upbeat, high note (Confident), a gospel voice (Father, Stone Cold), and a seductive tone (Cool for the Summer). This proves mainly to fail. Some songs sound like they have unnecessary auto tune. DemiFirst with the harsh stuff: Confident is filled with lack luster beats and is a little set back from her previous work. This albums tries to portray Demi's voice in a variety of mediums: as an upbeat, high note (Confident), a gospel voice (Father, Stone Cold), and a seductive tone (Cool for the Summer). This proves mainly to fail. Some songs sound like they have unnecessary auto tune. Demi Lovato has a nice voice and some powerful belts but sounds a little raspy, sometimes. Most songs contain drops in the beat after the chorus which prove unnecessary. The beats are poor in an EDM point of view and don't fit the album well. The album doesn't flow very well, also. The album transitions from "For You" with upbeat and an EDM style into the song "Stone Cold" with a low key and piano ballad. But that's basically insignificant when debating if the album "sounds good".

    Now for the good stuff: She can sing. Period. She has great belts and a powerful voice. Her voice pairs greatly with piano with her dark, low key. She can, also, hit high notes; which makes you realize she is a well trained singer.

    The best songs on this album are "Stone Cold" and "Confident". Both songs portray her strongest vocals on the album. She should continue with these genre. It obviously works for her.
    The worst song is "Stars". "Stars" is a mess. Honestly. The opening is like combining 10 instruments that are playing 10 different songs accompanied by a babyish scream and cuts into a keyboard verse and pre-chorus; but the chorus continues the trash opening sound.

    Compared to "Revival" by Selena Gomez, which I also reviewed, "Confident" is trying to hard. "Revival" showcased Selena in a new medium which proved successful and more subtle. "Confident" is a combination of trials. It's basically Demi experimenting with a few different types of music and vocal range. "Confident" is okay. It's pop. It's not great but not bad enough to give a completely negative review.    … Expand

    Repleto de canciones olvidables y aburridas, Confident no es el mejor álbum que Demi Lovato haya lanzado en su carrera. La única canción que se destaca y genera emoción es "Father", el resto de las canciones son tan insulsas que ni merecen ser mencionadas.

    "Cool For The Summer" was a perfect kick off for the album, while songs like "Yes", "For You" or "Stars" doesn't fit with her sound and the whole album concept. This is not the sound Demi should be following, and i hope she is stil finding herself.

    This is not the best Demi can give us, actually, this album is even worse than 'DEMI'. I felt like someone was screaming in my ears. I've expected more than gererical lyrics and melodies. Waiting for the day when she'll realise that her best work is "Here We Go Again" and go back to her good "Old Ways".

    What a messy album. Cool For The Summer is completely boring, Confident is okay and she destroyed a beautiful song like Stone Cold yelling that much. Demi has an awesome voice, but sometimes it doesn't work in this album. Kingdom Come and Old Ways are just like the other boring pop songs you listen to on the radio all the time. She can do better than that.

    Confident is the same thing as the her album DEMI , there were no changes. It has only a few good songs and the rest sounds like songs discarded by artist who did not want to repetitive music and without any content. Overall, it's a pretty bad record.
