Demi Lovato - Dancing With the Devil: The Art of Starting Over

[POP!]

OFFICIALLY in at #2 US with 74k

Apparently it missed #1 by less than 1,000 units (Justin returns to #1).

 

[Gangsta Nancy Lam]

Saw her trending on twitter this morning and apparently it's because she's been picking fights with a FROYO SHACK.

 

[KindaCool]

Playing victim is her only talent.

 

[Gangsta Nancy Lam]

In her defence, she does have a good voice (whether she uses it for evil or not).

 

[RJN]

I see where she’s coming with but she’d have a better point if it wasn’t a frozen yogurt store, which is also meant to be a healthy alternative

 

[Bluejeans]

She does seem to be an objectively awful person. Good album though!

 

[RJN]

I don’t think she’s an awful person. More someone with a lot of mental health issues who doesn’t necessarily think before she speaks

 

[Bluejeans]

Well lots of people have mental health issues. I have direct experience of it myself. I'm always wary of mental health issues being used to excuse consistent rudeness/bad manners/disrespect.

 

[RJN]

Agreed and I’m not trying to excuse her behavior. I just don’t think she’s an awful person

 

[Barnacle]

Not every mental health condition is the same.

The worst thing about Demi Levato is the way she uses her voice. Calling her an awful person is a stretch.

 

[Phoenix]

Saw her trending on twitter this morning and apparently it's because she's been picking fights with a FROYO SHACK.

It’s the authority in which she speaks that makes her so unlikeable in this instance “do better” indeed.

 

[Jark]

yeah with all respect to the various mental health conditions she may suffer from, telling a frozen yoghurt store to "do better" on social media when you have 100m followers or whatever and they have 5k does seem a bit RECKLESS. especially when their only crime was serving SUGAR FREE SNACKS.

Like girl just shut up and send your assistant in to get your FROYO instead if it's so triggering for you!

 

[POP!]

I think she was expecting more backing with that “diet culture vulture” hash tag. It got a whopping THREE posts in 24 hours.

I’m not trying to minimize her trauma as someone recovering from an ED - it’s a notoriously nasty disease as you can never avoid food /triggers because you have to eat/go to grocery stores to survive - but her outrage seems VERY misplaced and I think she realized it by the end when she was semi backtracking. I’m just confused as to why she targeted this small yogurt shop. Has she not been to a grocery store or ice cream/yogurt shop since the 1990s? I’ve never gone to one WITHOUT a “sugar free” or “fat free” option. Where has she BEEN

 

[POP!]

She does seem to be an objectively awful person. Good album though!

Which album are you listening to??

 

[POP!]

She apologizes... kind of

"i'm sorry... if you took it the wrong way."

 

[Gangsta Nancy Lam]

"I'm willing to talk to the FroYo shop."

She makes it sound like a hostage scenario

 

[Pipo]

Which album are you listening to??

the expanded edition that includes I Love Me and What People Say

 

[POP!]

the expanded edition that includes I Love Me and What People Say

There's an EVEN LONGER VERSION?

 

[KindaCool]

Nice backpedaling. "I'm just trying to make the world a better place!" is such a cringey cop-out.

 

[Pipo]

There's an EVEN LONGER VERSION?

a whopping 22 tracks

 

[Tisch]

I've decided I really love her cover of Mad World despite it being completely unnecessary

 

[Jark]

it's beautiful! great arrangement and VOX!

 

[Pipo]

I ended up liking only about 5 songs from this and yes Mad World is definitely one, but to be honest you can never go wrong with that song! It's immense.

 

[Gangsta Nancy Lam]

She's got a TV show coming out where she tries to make contact with aliens.

 

[Jark]

this gaytastic remix of Met Him Last Night from Dave Aude is serving Flashdance and I'm into it!

 

[FetchFugly]

That remix is kind of all over the place but tremendous all the same. I've listened to it about five times today.

The off-centre artwork is wrong however.

 

[dUb]

 

[Gangsta Nancy Lam]

Good for them!

 

[dUb]

Good for them indeed! Still an absolute MELT

 

[Pipo]

good for you DEMI, why now don't you lot go back to the studio to record some decent songs instead of trying to get people's attention? There are other ways you know, like shutting your trap

 

[POP!]

In the words of @Suedey...... "oh."






The song is kind of a bop notwithstanding the awful lyrics.

 

[straightorbroken]

The Kind of Lover I Am is decent, mostly because of the production. Demi still a semi. Those track titles though: what a narcissist.

 

[Pipo]

They really said make it Taylor Swift and make it Miley but there's no whiff of a good song nowhere to be found.

 

[RJN]

I don’t think the lyrics of melon cake are even that bad. If anything, I think it’s kind of an interesting topic and getting over their eating disorder clearly is an important part of their life

also it’s catchy

 

[supermassive]

I NEED TO WATCH THIS

 

[Phoenix]

She’s so dumb

 

[Ellie]

Demi Lovato: "Alien" is a derogatory term for ETs

According to the singer, the term is "derogatory... for anything."

[Pipo]

Well, if the music doesn't pay the bills anymore
