    She never change, but sometimes changes is good. She needs to grow up. This album is her worst. Maybe she needs more 5 years to record some good think.

    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

    "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.

    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, 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.

    The concept expressed in the cover and the title of the album was not well allocated on most tracks Most of the songs on this album speak of the same things whenever we hear what plays on the radio. There isn't a personal album. Unbroken is still better in a matter of production and musicianship.

    "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".

    Not her best album. Lyrically weak, musically generic. "Never Been Hurt" is another "Unbroken". "Warrior" is the new "Skyscraper" and "Shouldn't Come Back" is like "For the Love of a Daughter" Part II.

    Lovato could have tried to put the album together. Even though it's quite versatile, it seems to be all over the place and have no cohesion at all.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    What? This album is a joke. Demi Lovato again just shows someone that wants more and more money in music, and yes, Demi Lovato, must be so much rich. Awful album, except her voice that is a kind pretty.

    '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 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.

    It's predictable stuff--sassy songs, lovelorn songs, a couple of pop-psych pep talks--but Lovato is good company, and her voice has gustiness and character.

    Ultimately, this isn't an album of purpose, it's a collection of moments, and it has just enough good ones to solidify Demi Lovato's comeback.
