Even though I'm enjoying her more than I ever have, I can't help but wonder about the state of her career. Radio seems to be sending her songs up the charts despite the lukewarm reception she gets. She gets the airplay, but the sales are never there and the call out scores aren't either. "Cool For The Summer" was AN ABSOLUTE BEAST of a pop song and she couldn't even take it top 10 on the Hot 100 with hefty airplay, a hot video and various promo spots. Katy Perry would have rode that song to #1 for multiple weeks without 1/5th of the effort. And she's never really on the tip of anyone's tongue. Like who's sitting around talking about Demi Lovato? She is not connecting at all, not sure why, but she needs to do something. Radio's good graces aren't going to last forever.

I would only shell out that kind of money if I could sit in Nick's lap.

Can we talk about "Wildfire" for a second? Constant repeat right now. Give me that sex jam Demi! Surprised to see it was produced by Stargate, sounds nothing like them. They really hooked her up with a great instrumental.

I think it's just a sound effect. No. She explicitly tweeted about singing whistle notes in the studio. @jules Also, what kind of vocal slayage here?: I hope the fact that she's acknowledging vocal fatigue at the end of this video, means she'll do something about it.

Her cover of Adele's Hello is going viral. I hate to say it but I hope she finally realises that's the type of songs that suit her incredible voice the most eventhough I also enjoy her sugary pop anthems.

An angry Demi Lovato fan BLASTS her after a very disappointing meet and greetJosh Helfgott took to Instagram to share his experience meeting Demi Lovato in Seattle last night after the Kiss FM Fall Ball. Josh blasts Demi for a very disappointing meet and greet. In his essay, he says that Demi Lovato refused to look into his or his friend's eyes, ask for their names, or say "two words" to them. He then went on to describe how Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, and Taylor Swift all showed more interest and had fun with their fans during their respective meet and greets. http://instagram.com/p/-SuXoNx7sp Dear @ddlovato , Thanks for taking the time to meet me and my friend Carissa in Seattle. Thanks for not looking us in the eye, asking our names, or saying two words to us. Thank your team for forcing the 15 year old girl, who traveled alone to meet you, to squeeze on the side of another group’s picture. And thanks for keeping your jacket on for photos while your team collected the wet jackets of fans who waited in the rain to meet you. Sorry I am being passive aggressive. I’m angry. I’m angry because I assumed you were in a big hurry - that’s the only reason you would pay no attention to all of your fans, even though we all spent a lot of time waiting to meet you. I even flew across the country. You had to be in a hurry, scrunching 200 fans into 15 minutes. There’s no way, I figured. But as I walked out of the room, I saw you slam your head back against the wall in relief - we were your last picture. Meeting your fans was over. You didn’t run out - you stood there. This isn’t my first meet and greet. I’ve waited in the rain and snow many times for rushed moments and quick pictures. Kelly Clarkson’s was rushed, same style as yours - run us through a line for photos - but she asked for our names and even asked to wear my “Work Bitch” (Britney!) hat in the photo. It took 5 seconds, I was happy. Britney Spears did group photos, same as you. She even surprised us with that fact, same as you. But when my group went in to meet her, it wasn’t a photo. It was a meeting. She spent 10 minutes with our group, she heard all our stories, told us her own, and gave us M&Ms. And I’m not even going to bring up Taylor Swift because that’s going to take us into unrealistic territory, People have bad days, but you didn’t seem to be having one. It’s not fair for me to say. You could’ve been tired. I know I was. As I watched you perform about two hours later at the radio station’s concert, I felt angry at myself. You were in a great mood - greeting the crowd, covering Adele’s new song, and thanking radio for playing your songs. I just wanted you to thank your fans. Disappointed, Josh #demilovato #demi #kissfmfallball #taylorswift #britneyspears #meetandgreet

^I like how Adele in your sig appears sympathetic to his pain.
I have no idea how artists can put on a happy face for every single person they meet while on tour. That must be utterly exhausting. And I'm a people person with a retail background.

With how much she makes per meet and greet (and according to the post there were 200 fans), she should be a bit more professional/friendly. I worked retail and food for 6 years and I was forced at times to put on a smile and be personable but if I was getting paid what Demi is, then I would definitely be the most outgoing person in the entire room. Still love Demi though

The whole point of "meet and greet" is to do that - meet and great your fans. At the very least, at least act happy and grateful to see them. If you don't feel like being bothered, don't do them.

I worked retail and food for 6 years and I was forced at times to put on a smile and be personable but if I was getting paid what Demi is, then I would definitely be the most outgoing person in the entire room. Exactly. That amount may be pocket change for Demi, but it's a ton of money for us regular folks. And 200 times that, it's a lot of take home pay for Demi. She could put in a little more effort. She doesn't need to fawn over her fans (or give them lapdances the way Rihanna does) but she could be more engaged. Even if it is just for a few minutes. The whole point of "meet and greet" is to do that - meet and great your fans. At the very least, at least act happy and grateful to see them. If you don't feel like being bothered, don't do them. THIS. Certain artists just don't do them and that is totally fine. It's not a requirement to do them, but if you do, you should put in some effort. I just wonder if Demi is the type who does not want to do these but her management and whatnot want her to despite her objections. Or she is going through something else in private and it's really hard for her to deal and it manifests itself in this manner. Either way, she shouldn't do these meet and greets unless she is going to put in even a modicum of effort. And, she should charge much, much less.

I'm surprised to see the tour is starting seven months from now. I figured she'd want to strike while the iron was hot. With "Confident" underperforming, I don't see this album having much legs after December. But I'm sure with Nick on board, they'll maintain enough hype to sell well.
The closest show to me isn't until September of next year, lmao.

She needs some serious re-branding stat. This is a great pop album, but going into uncharted territory for the next era might be worth some thought. It's very frustrating to see some of her peers, especially Selena Gomez, find so much chart success with such mediocre (at best) material. She has great stage presence, a decent catalog of hits and killer vocals most of the time.. I just don't know what's missing. Very frustrating to watch.

I'm a performer and I would HATE to do meet and greets. When I get off stage, the last thing I ever wanna do is talk to anyone, actually. The rush of performing is such a high that afterwards I need a quiet calm.
I'm not excusing Demi at ALL (plus she's making a killing doing them) but I'm assuming it's incredibly taxing.

Her vocals on "For You" in that performance are fantastic! Her setlist: 00:50 - "Heart Attack" 04:44 - "Confident" 09:10 - "For You" 14:01 - "Stone Cold" 17:46 - "Cool for the Summer" (cheesy intro at 17:44 )
