Simply Amazing.,
I don’t think anyone really expected much of this 16 year old girl when they heard she was going to be side by side with the Jonas Brothers for the huge Disney success, Camp Rock. Boy, were those people proven wrong.
Quite personally, I’ve found most Disney stars entertaining, but never vocally talented. Demi took the stereotype of Disney stars and literally smashed it.
With her extremely mature debut album, Demi Lovato has exemplified that talent runs in all ages. Even more impressive? She co-wrote most of the album, except for two, “Until You’re Mine” and “The Middle”.
Although most of the tracks were co-written with teen bombshells Jonas Brothers, one of the most ear pleasing tracks is one she wrote by herself entitled “Trainwreck”. All the uptempo songs have a unique sense of fun, and each ballad is filled with heartfelt and personal lyrics. In the title track, “Don’t Forget”, you can cut the emotional tension with a knife.
The boys also come in for a great duet, which pretty much laid out every teenage breakup in a matter of 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
My personal favorites? Trainwreck, La La Land, On The Line, and Until You’re Mine. =]
I suggest you try this album out, especially if you’re a Disney fan. It will definitely redefine how you view “Disney stars”.

|Surprisingly good!,
So, I felt a little weird buying this cd because I felt like I was too old to be listening to her (I’m 23). But… I really liked ‘La La Land’ so I went for it. First of all, her voice is really good. She doesn’t really sound like anyone else out there that I have heard. Her voice is very distinguishable if you hear it. I should also say here that I am not a fan of Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers.
So, here’s my breakdown of each song:
1. La La Land – The reason I even bought the cd. I listened to some samples online after hearing this song and decided to be open-minded. Very fun, catchy song. Her voice is awesome. This is one of my favorites–just like the beat and how she sings the song.
2. Get Back – A song about wanting to be with someone when you’re not. A universal theme if you ask me. She kind of sings the chorus in the way that Kelly Clarkson sings hers–with a lot of emotion and really kind of belts it. Good song.
3. Trainwreck – A song she wrote on her own (she co-wrote most of them). About a guy who is, as the title says, a trainwreck. But that is part of the appeal in him and why she loves him, flaws and all. Another good song.
4. Party – Has a pop-rock beat to it, and she sings appropriately here. Just a fun song, suitable for summer. Her voice sounds really good.
5. On the Line – This song features one of the Jonas Brothers, which it would be better without him. She sounds good, and the song really would be much better without him (in my opinion). About having a fight or breaking up and not wanting to take blame at the time, but feeling bad about it later.
6. Don’t Forget – This song has a very vulnerable sound to it, especially the beginning. This song is about being forgotten and having your heart broken. About 2.5 minutes into the song, she really breaks it down and the beat picks up, before slowing down again. Another good song.
7. Gonna Get Caught – A little more upbeat than Don’t Forget. About a guy who is basically playing games (that is something any girl can relate to). The chorus is very catchy and upbeat and sticks in your head (which is something that reminds me of Kelly Clarkson’s songs). A good one.
8. Two Worlds Collide – A song about a friendship. This is kind of a typical song that teenagers tend to sing. It’s not a bad song, but it’s not super either. It reminds me somewhat of Ashlee Simpson’s ‘Giving It All Away’ on her first cd (obviously with very different sounding voices).
9. The Middle – This is one that she didn’t write on her own. The song starts out a little slower, then it picks up. I actually really like this song. It’s really fun to sing along to.
10. Until Your Mine – The grammar freak in me hates that she uses the incorrect form of ‘your’ (it should be ‘you’re’), but besides that… The song is a little slower, but the chorus picks up. The chorus is very catchy and she gives it a lot, like most of her other songs. This song is about wanting someone and being willing to do whatever it takes to get them.
11. Believe In Me – A little slower, but the chorus, once again, is catchy, a little more upbeat, and fun to sing along to. About self-esteem and trying to be yourself and believe in yourself. This is something I think many people can relate to, but especially young people when they’re trying to find themselves. I really like this song.
12. Behind Enemy Lines (*bonus track) – A different beat. Good song. She sounds a little more soulful when singing this song. I really like this song, which is good since I bought the deluxe edition for this bonus track (the other is in spanish, which I don’t speak).
All in all, I really enjoy her voice. It is very good, and she can really belt it out, but doesn’t do that too much on this cd (which disappoints me, but I know that some people don’t like that). She co-wrote most of the songs, which is awesome. She is 16 and sometimes that is reflected a little bit, but I think that she will definitely have more to show in the future as an artist as she and her music mature. Just think, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake started out on the Disney channel. And Britney, who is a great entertainer (maybe not as musically gifted as Christina and Justin)… Anyway the cd is definitely worth checking out.
