Music Review: Demi Lovato - Don’t Forget

Demi Lovato went from flirting scenes with Joe Jonas in Camp Rock to releasing her brand new CD, Don’t Forget in only a matter of months. She sings in Camp Rock, but her voice on her new CD is a lot more edgy and the CD has a rock image. My sister and I closely associate the CD with Canadian Singer, Skye Sweetnam (“Tangled Up in Me,” “Number One,” “Billy S.”) Demi sings under Hollywood Records, as does Miley Cyrus, and the Jonas Brothers. Demi and Miley have similar sounds, but Demi’s definitely got my vote.

Demi does a duet (With two extras?) with the Jonas Brothers in “On the Line.” Anything the Jonas Brothers sing is automatically good, but Demi definitely adds a special touch. This song is nothing like Joe Jonas and Demi’s "This Is Me." Instead it has more of a rock edge. Very, very sweet song. I’m glad Demi paired up with them. Now, if she could only do a duet with best friend, Selena Gomez of Wizards of Waverly Place

I really enjoyed track one, “La La Land.” Not only are Demi’s vocals good, but the song has very amusing lyrics that makes her fans  relate to her. For example, the first three lines you hear are “I am confident but I still have my moments/Baby, that’s just me/I’m not a supermodel. I still eat McDonald’s.” Her vocal range varies and it produces a great song.

The song that made me break down and buy the CD was the single, “Get Back,” which I saw on Youtube. Rumor has it that it’s about her ex, Cody Linley (Hannah Montana) but she denies it. Very powerful, exciting. Another song Demi totally rocked on.

“Gonna Get Caught” is another good song. It reminds me of a guy that I used to know; so, I would definitely say Demi connected to me in this song. She likes this guy and the guy’s playing her and she figures it out. Now, if only I had this song, when I was going through this crises. I cannot think of anyone better to sing this song. Demi does it perfectly. Yeah, it’s totally my number one.

    Yeah, nice review. I've heard all of the songs on her album, and I'm excited to get it soon. She brings a unique quality to Disney, which I absolutely love. Demi's just awesome.

    this fat cow can't sing or act...wtf is she doing being compared to ultra-cute superstar Miley Cyrus?

    "DON'T FORGET" is an amazing album very incredible for it being her debut album. She has amazing vocals and connects with the audience. I relate to almost every song and i am sure that every1 who listens to it will relate to at least one song as well. This is a MUST BUY. Demi is on her way to the top and i agree Miley and the rest of the teen queens should watch out because Demi Lovato is taking the stage.

    To comment # 6: How is demi even close to fat? I won't insult Miley because i'm bigger than that and she never did anything to me but Demi is a better singer and actress in my opinion.

    Demi's album is amazing. Definately the best thing to come from Hollywood Records. Demi did extremely well for her debut album. Demi will go very far if she keeps this up. Amzing job Demi!

    Comments # 6's jojo is stupid. Demi is nowhere near being a fat cow, just as the other person said. She has an amazing body and an even more amazing voice. She is definately the best out there as of now and mily has nothing on her. Mily sounds like a man she can't sing or act. Demi's song are all super good, she's the best I'm like obsessed. She has the best voice ever. And she will for sure be the top disney earner soon.

    to da #6 comment [Personal attack deleted by Comments Editor], u don't know anything about music or anything else. miley is da one who can't act & sing. she is nothing but a stupid hillbilly whose fame will soon shade away. so don't compare that thrash 2 demi, cuz demi has more talent in a little piece of he than miley in her entire body.

    Did you forget
    That I was even alive
    Did you forget
    Everything we ever had
    Did you forget
    Did you forget
    About me

    Did you regret (did you regret)
    Ever standing by my side
    Did you forget (did you forget)
    What we were feeling inside
    Now I'm left to forget
    About us

    {CHORUS}
    But somewhere we went wrong
    We were once so strong
    Our love is like a song
    You can't forget it

    So now I guess
    This is where we have to stand
    Did you regret
    Ever holding my hand
    Never again
    Please don't forget
    Don't forget

    We had it all
    We were just about to fall
    Even more in love
    Than we were before
    I won't forget
    I won't forget
    About us

    {CHORUS}
    But somewhere we went wrong
    We were once so strong
    Our love is like a song
    You can't forget it

    {CHORUS}
    Somewhere we went wrong
    We were once so strong
    Our love is like a song
    You can't forget it
    At all

    And at last
    All the pictures have been burned
    And all the past
    Is just a lesson that we've learned
    I won't forget
    Please don't forget us

    Somewhere we went wrong
    Our love is like a song
    But you won't sing along
    You've forgotten
    About us

    Don't forget

    People are saying lots of great stuff about Demi and bad but I think she is cool because she dose not sing stuff corny from disny.All of her music is ROCK and new. Just saying disney channel is kinda stupped for cutting out in her song (GET BACK) from kiss me like you mean it to hold me like you mean it.
