    This is the best Demi's album.
    She decided to show herself , her emotions and experiences outside of her like never before. Here we can find power electronic tracks and ballads. From ''Confident" to "Mr. Huges" we can relax, wonder and dance. Remixes are also the best of all.
    I can listen to her songs all my free time. Melody are suitable to every lyrics. With this album I feel like    This is the best Demi's album.

    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

    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

The album is generic, pedestrian, and completely banal as the artist tries to produce something multi-faceted with the slew of producers and writers hired by her record label to help her, only to realize that this album is a failure, even with the generally positive reviews by critics. In actuality, the songs are completely one-dimensional, vocally and lyrically. Listening in closer shows how the artist had some assistance with tweaking her voice. The unfortunately bad production shows how the artist is not skilled as singing, and leads the audience to anticipate her struggle to replicate the novice vocal acrobatics in the songs. After researching the artist, previous albums were the same, HUM-DRUM, attempts at trying to capture the masses that her peers had successfully done leaving her in the dust as a failure to reach an acclaimed and well-known pop star worth that record contract. Unfortunately, the artist should learn to produce works with more substance than resorting to producing songs that may have well worked as album-fillers for high-profile artists. If she was really that successful, then she could've easily toured alone without the assistance of a competent artist.… Expand

    A pedesAs empowering as the album may look, it is a poorly produced, poorly written piece that I don't believe she can perform live without failing. Maybe next time.

    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.

    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.

Todavia, o trabalho soa como uma versão 2.0 do DEMI. Aparenta que as músicas foram feitas para mostrar todo o alcance vocal (poderosíssimo, por sinal) ou serem extremamente comerciais. 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

    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.

    Confident is one of the best albums of Demi's career so far. Although there are some moments where the music is just too much to listen to, such as the climax to Father, this album as a whole is excellent. My favourites include Old Ways, Waitin' For You, Wildfire and Confident. She really did deliver with this one!

    With some funny sounds and a lot of high notes, Demi Lovato came back in the industry. It isn´t her best work, because it's like "Here We Go Again" but with better sounds.

    The album brings a vocal evolution of Demi, with bold songs and mature ballads, what else really stands out is the power of his voice, especially in Stone Cold, Father and Lionheart, are incredible.

I think US don't know Demi at all and she can make them now by this track. "Kingdom Come" isn't one of my favorites but sounds great when you listen to a night party. "Wildfire" and "Waitin For You" are two tracks that are awesome, that further we have a Grammy Winner "Sirah" on WTF and that angelical whistle tone on Wildfire. My favorite song by far is " Yes" not only because of the vocals but also for musical arrangement and the music theme.… Expand

    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.

    Thing about this album, the tracks were either a hit or a miss.

    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.
