Having wrapped up her judging gig on season one of The X-Factor (USA), MS. Demi Lovato is back to the day job- AKA releasing great music!
Produced by The Suspex, new single Heart Attack continues to demonstrate Demi's knack for releasing hot singles and delivering great vocals- seriously, that layered harmony on the bridge is impressive. And it seems people are sitting up and taking notice, as the track has enjoyed the third largest first-week sales of any single this year! So congratulations are in order!
Also, are Demi and Kelly Clarkson related, somehow? The physical resemblances between the two only became apparent to me while watching the video for Heart Attack. But now, when I combine that with them both having awesome voices, the only possible explanation (that I can come up with) for the similarities is that they must be family.... Right? No?! Well screw you guys, I'm going to start spreading it anyway!
You all enjoy the video while I start working on my pitch to the National Enquirer.
Thoughts?
They're both from Texas. You might be on to something!
ReplyDeleteTHE PLOT THICKENS!!!
ReplyDeleteDemi live doesn't come close to Kelly. If she is family...Kelly should disown her. ;-D
ReplyDeleteDemi lists Kelly as one of her biggest inspirations.

ReplyDeleteOh okay! that explains quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteNow see, I knew right away that's Kelly. Not Demi. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt also speaks well of Demi. ;-D
ReplyDeleteWrong! It's actually me! I'm the third sister!
ReplyDeleteThat's my girl ;) hehe
ReplyDeleteOah and you live so much closer than Kelly or Demi......
ReplyDeleteBut here was me thinking you were an entirely different sex?
Erm...do you think you are some kind of "charmed" one now DD??

Oh PS. You gonna do a review of Avril's "Here's To Never Growing Up" when the video drops? wink wink, nudge nudge ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG I WAS WATCHING CHARMED TODAY!! ITS A SIGN! I AM!!
ReplyDeleteI only saw today that she had a new song...I'm kinda scared to hear it. The only song of hers I liked was the slow one.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I have every season on DVD! I have to say my power of choice is a toss up between Piper's and Paige's! Probably Pipers though, I would have a lot of fun blowing shit up! ;)

It's quite a nice boppy lil' number! Very carefree indeed! Oh and loving the Angela Lansbury gif!
ReplyDeleteI like freezing time more. In the time I freeze, think of the hundred things I could do. Kinky! HAHAHAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteNono, someone should behave, sit there and look pretty while I finish the rest! LOL.

This might be because I just woke up like 10 mins ago. LMFAO.
Once again, Demi has disappointed me. After 'Skyscarper', I was so looking forward to hearing more from her- but she hasn't utilized the creaky effect on her belts since! Normally, I'm a fan of clear belts, but just as with Mariah, Demi sounds better with the creak...
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't really a creaky effect, her voice was so worn torn from Bulimia.
ReplyDeleteThat was her natural sound, given what she was doing to herself.
Demi has always been compared to Kelly, even on her debut album critics were noting the similarities. Demi has said she drove from Dallas to San Antonio to see Kelly perform after seeing her on the same tour (THATS 5 HOURS FOLKS). Kelly also said that if she could make an all girls tour, she would put Demi on it. They're both just so adorable and talented I can't.
ReplyDeleteThat would explain it. How terribly sad- another singer whom I'll have to boot from my list of faves then.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! They do look alike. This video also reminds me a lot of Epica's Storm the Sorrow video, and I see on tumblr I'm not the only one who thinks that... http://youtu.be/dNoTvg0t52c I actually think Epica's video is better, they did the concept better, and Simone sings better. Heartattack is more catchy though =)
ReplyDeleteIt's all a cover for my true identity. Ms, Demi Clarkson.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't trust myself with that power. Knowing my luck, I'd sneeze and take out a school or something.

ReplyDeleteHahaha I'm so going to snatch all of those gifs!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't hear? It happened this week at idol. Kelly had tweeted how nervous she was going on idol with Mariah there. Mariah very sweetly tweeted Kelly shouldn't be silly because she's always ''hashtag POW'', Kelly very proudly posted that on her facebook.
I have no idea what it supposed it supposed to mean but I gather it's a real positive endorsement. :-)
Positively fiendish! Now how are all the Kelly detractors on the blog gonna feel. Real silly I bet

ReplyDeleteI love her since The X Factor with Britney. She's so cool. I love her new single.
ReplyDeleteI think its funny that I used to be a big Demi supporter but now whenever I see her I get put off by how Kelly Clarkson shes being. I remember when she was first starting and would talk about her admiration for Kelly. I shoulda seen dis comin yall...
ReplyDeleteI actually really like this song...wasn't expecting to though. I wonder how the rest of this album is gonna come, I have high hopes for it because there were some pretty great songs on Unbroken. But she said this album was gonna be less pop and more 'real music' but judging off this song, I'm not sure that's true...but whatever, we have to see.
ReplyDeleteOkey I feel people talk more about Kelly then Demi, but IF you are gonna compare them, you must compare Demi with Kelly when she was 20! Of course Kelly is better now, she is 30! thats ten years more of practise. Given her age, Demi is a superb singer, and all that shit about her low notes and falsetto. That would have been relevante, two, three years ago! Find something new to critice. She has imporved in both areas.
ReplyDeleteI dare ANYONE! To find a 20 years old singer (who is/has)
ReplyDelete- better pipes then her!
- Funny, smart, has a great personality
- Can play guitar and/or piano
- Write owns songs
- Is a fantasic rolemodel!
Challange me!
Improving in those areas doesn't mean she still wouldn't get criticized. Her live notes are still spoken rather than sung. I'll find something new to criticize when she really stops talking on the low areas of her song.
ReplyDeleteThen please guide me to these parts..
ReplyDelete(Oh what a shock, Opie had to comment -.- )
ReplyDeleteBut are you kidding me?? This Sarah was as boring as growing grass! She is not a Belter. I aksked for someone with the same singingstyle as Demi/Kelly! I know there are many other singer her age who are also great, but again, I need belters, not "normal singers" Any bitch can sing a calm song with a guitar. And if that is your only suggestion, you have just proven me right :)
Dude, I apologize. I, in a very normal manner, responded to a comment I thought was posted by an openminded reasonable individual.
ReplyDeleteAfter the surprise of the vehemence of your response, I checked out your profile and found I was in fact responding to yet another stan.
And one with clearly not a musical clue.
Sorry if anything but belters bore you. But hey...your loss.
Anyway to be clear...no, you did not specify the genre amongst your requirements.
He did already..live renditions of ''heart attack'' on youtube.
ReplyDeleteWell you just have a (bad) reputation on this site, still you are entitled to your meanings. And I did not say that "nothing but belters bore me". It's just my personal flavor. Very oldwifewomensisk to put words in my mouth..
ReplyDeleteWell we where comparing Demi with Kelly, why should we put in singers with other singingstyles..
I just wanted to show how great this girl is, cause many comments, including your... Said that Kelly is better then her, when you didn't take in consideration that Kelly has 10 years on her. If you have to compare them, you must compare them when Kelly also was 20.
Yes, I can easily see how the fact that some people don't like me is a good reason for you to respond very aggressively to a perfectly normal comment by me. Bandwagons are such fun rides.
ReplyDeleteThat must also explain why you feel it is reasonable to call my words ''oldwifewomensisk''. But having never heard that word...maybe I am wrong in assuming it's a way to try and denigrate?
Looks like women aren't much your flavor either.
As for your claim of what was under discussion. That is true of the first comment but not stricty so of the second. I just took that one in the literal sense. In part because one of the things I enjoy of this blog is that some people love singers I never heard and love to share their favorite videos. It has several times lead to my finding singers I also really enjoy.
Kelly in fact is one of them ( thanks to Stuey. A dude with an imo excellent and varied taste)
Kelly being a recent new favorite, I haven't had a chance yet to hear all her material but I have heard stuff from 6 years ago and imo then too Kelly was a better singer than Demi is now.
And I know other singers who imo were better at 20.
I'm afraid I do not agree her age is a valid argument. Not in general, not in comparison to other singers.
Just my opinion.
Anyway, here's Kelly at 19.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN0m1m0h15o&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Kelly was definitely better at 20 than demi is now w/o a doubt, but watching this video made me realize how much Kelly has improved throughout the years.
ReplyDeleteI'm inclined to agree with you Mel even though this video is only a snippet really.
ReplyDeleteBut there are also three videos of all and full songs she did on AI. Only had time to watch part 1 so far. :-)
I love how she showed off the range only once...because she was in a competition but otherwise always opted for musicality over technical show off.
I love demi bu this video was like trying to give me heart attack cause she looked to aggressive and angry. after a minute of the vid i switched back to rebecca black
ReplyDeletePLUS they have such similar personalities. Both are SO hilarious in interviews - always laughing and cracking jokes. I wouldn't be surprised if they are long lost sisters.
