    So good, but, Confident is better, still is good. Loved this album, everyone should hear this, this shows how Demi evolved, and she's getting better always.

    Demi has managed to make ever single song on this album a hit. The songs are both lyrically and vocally magnificent. This is most definitely Lovato's best album to date.

    This album is beautiful and catchy. I'm keeping it on repeat, and I really look up to hear "Warrior" cause it's such an AMAZING song. I love Demi cause she really can sing and she can put all her emotional side on her songs!

    "Demi" is a very nice pop album, its a beautiful. Demi has finally managed to find her sound and the lyrics are definitely better than her previous album "Unbroken".

    What I like about Demi is that she has a powerful voice, but does not have the need to expose it to the whole song. Not a perfect album, far from it, but close to everything that the Disney Stars are showing, 'Demi' is by far the best album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1. Heart Attack: I personally love this song and I feel like when DEMI came out everyone forgot about it. The lyrics and relatabilty (i don’t think that’s a word) is so awesome. “Pain’s more trouble than love is worth” is one of my favorite lyrics she’s ever had. At first I didn't really understand the bridge but after i really thought about it, I was very impressed with the metaphors.
    2. Made in the USA: I kinda like this song, but I don’t love it. It doesn’t really stand out on the album. It is just another pop song to me (which isn’t bad) it just doesn’t really wow me. Her vocals on the other hand are really good, especially during the chorus.
    3. Without the Love:This song is probably my favorite off of the album. I feel like Demi went in a different direction with this. To me this song is the best off the album. The lyrics and comparisons and superb. Some of my favorite lyrics are “this is the bend before the break, where forget the harmony” and yeah you push me in the spotlight just to steal the show” and “you work so hard to get me just to let me go”
    4.Neon Lights: I liked this song for a couple of days, but i would love if there were more lyrics to it. I hate songs that repeat the first verse and chorus, they just lack originality to me. While this song definitely isn’t one of my favorites, i still like to jam to it every now and then. P.S. Her vocals during the dance break are awesome!!
    5. Two Pieces: This song reminds me a lot of fun.’s We Are Young but for a less mature audience. I don’t have a lot to say about this song, but I still like it a lot and it really displays her vocals very well.
    6. Nightingale: This song is just beautiful and raw. The emotion and mellow mood it sets is awesome. Although I can’t really relate to it because I’ve never felt like someone was watching over me, I still love it and it is one of the best on the album. I say grammy worthy.
    7. In Case: I can’t even begin with this song. Her vocals have got to be the best she’s ever done in any song. Like, this song in on a Fix a Heart level or higher. This one is a grammy worthy song.
    8. Really Don’t Care (ft. Cher Lloyd): It is impossible to listen to this song and be upset. It is such a great pop song and it is so fun. Another thing I love and notice about every song is that Demi made it so you heard an actual instrument in every song. Really Don’t Care has the acoustic guitar during the chorus and even the piano in Neon Lights.I really love the first verse in this song. I’m not in love with Cher’s part but it adds a nice touch of brat into the song.
    9. Fire Starter: While I can tolerate this song, I kinda don’t really like it. I definitely don’t have it on repeat like Without the Love or Really Don’t Care. I absolutely can’t stand the opening lyric, but I like the chorus and I kinda like the production.Her vocals are really the only part of this song I love.
    10. Something That We’re Not: God, this is another song I can’t listen to and be mad at the same time. This song is so fun and catchy AND BEYOND RELATABLE. I don’t care how ugly you think you are, you have all had the one person that was obsessed with you. Also, the little “ba da ba da da da da da” are so awesome and they really make the song I can just see her performing this song and the crowd singing along and just having fun.
    11. Never Been Hurt: This song is such an Unbroken 2.0 it ain’t even funny. I honestly hate the chorus of this song. If she took the production and chorus of Unbroken and put it on Never Been Hurt, I would be in love with this song. I absolutely hate the HUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT part, but the other vocals she has in it and the lyrics in the bridge and verses are pretty cool.
    12: Shouldn’t Come Back: I honestly love this song with all my heart. I have a hard time picking which song about her dad is better. At first I wasn’t sure if she was talking about her dad or an ex but I figured it out. Also, the emotion in here in unreal. That last time she says, "STOP, right now, you’ll only let me down" causes eargasms all the time. However, I do wish there was more to the bride.
    13. Warrior: I really like this song. I kinda prefer it over Skyscraper. I feel like it is very mature and not so juvenile. The lyrics are very relatable. BUT, I will say that I was very disappointed vocally. I am NOT saying that she didn't sound amazing, but I was expecting more from this song.

    Overall Review: I’d give this album an 8/10. I don’t think Demi has completely morph into an adult (which is perfectly fine) but I feel like she is growing with her fans which is something not enough artist do these days. Another thing, that I already said, is that you hear an actua    … Expand

    This is a great album! I liked every song on the album (it took me awhile to accept "Something That We're Not"), and it's been my favorite album ever since. Keep it up, Demi!

    'Demi' is a very personal and beautiful album. It reflects her versatility and her talent as a singer and songwriter that packs in a ton of replay value. Whilst the lyrical quality has ups and downs, her vocal performances are on point.

    Demi, Lovato's fourth studio album feels like a combination of Lovato's two earlier albums and her previous one, Unbroken. With a pop rock feel on some tracks mixed with R&B dance-pop production and a number of big, slick ballads, Demi feels carefully calculated. This album is not a personal one, it's just a collection of songs to prove Lovato a successful, hit-making pop diva.

With a pop rock feel on some tracks mixed with R&B dance-pop production and a number of big, slick ballads, Demi feels carefully calculated. This album is not a personal one, it's just a collection of songs to prove Lovato a successful, hit-making pop diva. In that matter, it succeeds. Too bad Demi shows very little musical growth for Lovato, besides vocally. Demi is pretty much a step backward into the familiar teen pop territory. Vocally, however, Demi is on point. She sings songs like she means them (not that she really does.) She wails, belts, screams, yells and it all sounds beautiful. Her voice may be the only thing that makes the material on Demi listenable. Lyrically, it's quite challenging. Lyrics are reminiscent of Carly Rae Jepsen's Kiss album in that they're both fluffy, but nonetheless interesting. Production-wise, it's pretty good. It's feel-good pop rock with dance and R&B influences and slick, radio-ready power ballad production. However, production on Demi is too teen pop. Too much like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez & the Scene. Demi is not a bad album for Lovato; it's quite entertaining. It's just disappointing that a pop singer with such attitude and a sense of fun, is now just fishing for hits instead of making music that feels inspiring in some way. Lovato needs a maturity check.

    Great album with a nice mix of Pop songs, and while some do sound the same it's certainly not a bad thing as they are great songs! Lead single 'Heart Attack' pretty much sums up the album and what you will expect for the following tracks to come, and any Demi fans who liked her first albums will surely like this one too.

    Demi decaiu muito do Unbroken para esse álbum, é um álbum bom de ouvir, com boas músicas porém a qualidade vocal que ela tem poderia ter criado músicas melhores; é um álbum legal porém poderia ser melhor.
    Pontos altos: Heart Attack e Warrior
    Pontos baixos: Never Been Hurt e I Hate You, Don't Leave Me

    "Demi" Um Excelente Album.
    Merece Um 10 Mesmo,Mas Acho Que Ela Exagerou Muito Nas Baladas Muito Calmas Podiam Ser Mais Bem Planejadas Como Mistake De Unbroken.
    Mas Mesmo Assim Merece 10.
    Top 5
    1-Never Been Hurt
    2-Two Pieces
    3-Made In Usa
    4-Without The Love
    5-Heart Attack
    Fire Starter E Something That We're Not São Pontos Altos Também

    Of course it's one of her best albums ever, Heart Attack, the smash hit was such a different (and good) song, Made in the USA sounds like an anthem, Neon Lights a party and that's the perfect mix!

    Her best work to date by far. So much emotion on songs like "Shouldn't Come Back" and "I Hate You, Dont Leave Me", you can tell this IS Demi. But it is also super fun and poppy on tracks like "Neon Lights" and "Really Dont Care" ft. Cher Lloyd. This is just perfection to me. There is not one bad song.

    Really nice improvement from last album. More of a fun, lighthearted sound, yet keeping all of "Unbroken"' honesty and theatricality. Every song is a pleasure to listen to, but I definitely have my favorites. "Never Been Hurt", "Something That We're Not", and "Nightingale" all shine.

    Nicely done Demi! I found this better than Unbroken. The lead-single choice for "Heart Attack" was great, but I kinda prefer "Made in the USA". Also I'm loving "Warrior" and "Never Been Hurt". xx

    Possibly the most consistently crafted pop record in recent memory, Demi showcases Lovato's impressive vocal range as well as well-produced, shimmering pop. Highlights include "Heart Attack," "Without the Love," "Nightingale" and "Something That We're Not."

    Like any artist turned around for teen public, Demi doesn't go so far about her music. In this side, she made a great album for her public. Lyrics easy for understand, Intrumentals that will play over and over in the teenager's mind. The vocals are great, in some songs too loud. My favs top 5: 1 - Never Been Hurt, 2 - Made in the USA, 3 - Without the love, 4 - Two Pieces, 5 - Warrior.

    Her vocal performances needn't be doubtful, but she needs to find more mature materials and leaves teen-pop in her next albums. The tracks in this album are mostly magnificent though "Something That We're Not" is my most disliked. "Never Been Hurt" is too-much alike Kelly Clarkson but still a good song.

    'DEMi' delivers the fun, bubblegum pop side of her career as an musician, while still lacks the courage to take control of her own creativity through her music. With singles aimed for the radio (which some failed) like 'Neon Lights' and 'Made in the USA', Hollywood records forced a Top 40 sound to Ms. Lovato. Sonically, the album is catchy and able to be listened more than twice.

    In My Opinion this album is more consistent and worthy listen than Confident & Tell Me You Love Me, of course she is more matured musically in last two albums, but in her last two albums many songs really don't work, of course too in Demi have very commercial songs like Heart Attack, Neon Lights & Really Don't Care.

    But in this album, the rest of songs don't seem forced like many songs of her last two albums that for me have many songs too forced that i think that Demi do it only thinking in win grammy's but musically these songs doesn't work.

    Otherwise that i said above have many songs here too, that are very matured like Two Pieces, Nightingale, In Case, Warrior Shouldn't come Back.

    and really great pop songs like Without Love, Made In The U.S.A, Never been Hurt & Fire Starter.

    Eu amo muito esse álbum dela, pra mim é uma das melhores cantoras que tem hoje e quanto às pessoas que fica vindo boicotar as notas, como já vi, só não ouvir, os haters nunca irão fazer diferença nenhuma da carreira dela. Espero que Demi consiga alcançar muita coisa boa ainda, pq ela é uma excelente cantora e compositora, diferente de outras aí né.
