I like this so much better than "Cool For The Summer". I think on this song and "Cool For The Summer" she doesn't seem to be straining or over belting through out the whole song like she has done in the past. Except for her live performance of some ballad on SNL I think she has been sounding pretty good lately. I played "Confidence" the other day in my friends car and my friend asked me who it was. I told her and she said wow her voice is SO not distinct. LoL

I told her and she said wow her voice is SO not distinct. LoL It really isn't, though! Unless you're a fan, it's hard to distinguish her unique nuances that make her voice hers. Play "Father," "Cool for the Summer," and "Give Your Heart a Break" back to back, and to someone who may not be into her might think it's three different vocalists.

I don't think her vocal technique is terrible. Certainly not as terrible as Christina's. It's just terribly inconsistent. Sometimes it's incredible, and other times it's legit Xtina/Jessica Simpson level. If she didn't insist on lowering her larynx on this album to force a deeper, rounder, "soulful" sound (like Xtina, Charice, and the like), she would sound so much better. The ease and resonance on the upper belting notes do not indicate strain or improper technique. But, I don't think her vocals have impacted this song's performance at all.

I actually thought her voice sounded more distinct up until this era. Maybe it's more her belting that's distinct and where she doesn't belt as much in these last two singles it doesn't make her stand out as much??? During the verses of "Cool For The Summer" I could barely tell it was her singing the first couple of times I heard it.

Just to clarify about my earlier vocal technique comments. I think she sounds great on this album! The best she's ever sounded. I was simply referring to her live singing lately. She is straining for the gawds in these performances and it sounds painful.

I'm seeing a lot of low/weird updates so far today so this could be just a one-off, IDK...

On my local Top 40 station they were playing the new Justin Bieber cd last night. I wonder if this has anything to do with the strange updates?

It might have had an affect but callouts were bad again this week. Those bad callouts might hinder the song from going much further.

With the bad call out scores this is receiving, the not so good updates, this will fail in reaching the Top 10 on CHR. When this was released, I assumed Top 10 or better, but not looking good at all.

Top 15 is more than I expected for this when it first came out, hopefully this will rise a bit more before dying and letting Kingdom Come rise as third single *god please hear me*

Demi was great last night. She ended up being one of my favorite performers of the night. She sounded great and had a lot of Confidence. I know she can sing but last night she acted as though she had something to prove. You Go Girl!

Another amazing performance! #19 on iTunes, I really hope this manages to get top 20 on the Hot 100 at some point

Falls to #36 on the Hot 100. #17 on iTunes (I believe #13 is its peak). Ariana posted two Snapchats of Demi performing it.

She sounded good. Loved her look. She needs to loosen up those hips some though, she was a little stiff.
And this song gets me so pumped. I wish it would get a second wind.

Her performance was one of the highlights last night for me. I absolutely love this song and I thought that her stage presence and delivery of it were top-notch. She brought the attitude she needed and that look was AMAZING. She slayed it. I really need to see this have a resurgence in sales and airplay because this is a jam and I don't want to see it miss the Top 10 on CHR!
