What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this is the first album from rising Disney Channel star Demi Lovato, best known for playing Mitchie in Camp Rock and making YouTube videos extraordinaire with fellow Disney darling Selena Gomez. Lovato and her music have a bit more edgy than standard Disney fare, but the subject matter is age-appropriate for most tweens -- expect lots of talk about young love and relationships and staying true to yourself while having a positive self-image.

Positive messages: There's an obvious recurring theme about being yourself and having a positive self-image. Lyrics include lines like "And I know that I'm OK, cause everyone's perfect in an unusual way ... the mirror can lie, it doesn't show you what's inside" and "I'm not a supermodel, I still eat McDonald's, baby that's just me ... I'm not gonna change."
Violence: Nothing alarming, but "Get Back" says "I wanna talk back and get yelled at, fight for nothing, like we used to."
Sex: One song, "Get Back," has the line "kiss me, like you mean it, like you miss me."
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: McDonald's, Converse.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids

Families can talk about the images of young stars like Lovato, Gomez, and Miley Cyrus. Do you think they're seen as positive role models, especially in the eyes of tweens and teens? Do you think they're presented accurately in the media? How do you feel about the fact that many of these young stars like to post videos and blogs on the Internet?

What's the story?

What's the story?

With a little help from good friends the Jonas Brothers, fellow Camp Rock-er Demi Lovato releases her debut album, DON'T FORGET. It's full of 11 hook-laden tracks that have hints of JoBros-brand pop-rock, with Lovato's own feminine touch.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

Pairing slick musical arrangements with powerful, fresh, yet sweetly endearing vocals, Lovato seems to be in a league of her own when it comes to the ever-growing teen pop-star club these days (move over, Miley!). Though she's only 16, Lovato's voice has incredible control and strength -- which balance well with her edgier, rockier sound. At the same time, she manages to pull back in just the right places to bend your ear to her delicate vocal lines.

Every song is good, with real self examination and declaration that could empower young girls to be true to themselves. "Trainwreck," "On the Line," (which she sings with the Jonases), and "Until You're Mine" will get you early, and title track "Don't Forget" is haunting and sweet.

"Until You're Mine", "La La Land", "Trainwreck", "Don't Forget", and "Party" are must-haves. Amazingly talented. She completely blows Miley Cyrus or Emily Osment out of the water. Selena's okay, but Demi's voice is awesome. God has really blessed her.

First Disney Singer I've Taken A Liking To
I do not love the album, but Demi Lovato is the first Disney singer I've ever taken a liking to. She has a very big voice, and her songs talk about things we all can relate to like body image and how we should all just be ourselves. 4/5 stars from me.

Sucky
Demi Lovato is just plain ANNOYING. She pretends to have attitude, and it really just doesn't work on her. Her songs are pointless and unreal, and she talks to much about the Jonas Brothers in one of the albums.

Demi is NOT your average Disney chick!
I have to admit, when Demi first came onto the scene, I was reluctant to listen to her, thinking her to be nothing more than another Hannah Montana wanna-be. However, I decided to give her a look-see, and I was pleasantly surprised. Demi can actually sing! I think her song "Trainwreck" is the best one on the album, and I'm looking forward to seeing what path she chooses in her music career! Go Demi!

Mediocre Debut
It's okay. The record isn't as good as her second, which although is sad, is more "real". This album has too much with the Jonas Brothers, and sounds like their 4th album and not her debut. Her vocals have gotten better since this album, and I'd say nothing on here should get anyone worried!

Amazing, Demi is a kid and teens role model!
Demi is a great role model, an average teen from Texas fallowing her dream. Positive messages, telling kids to be their self. Demi has amazing vocals and I look forward to more of her music. Parents, buy her cd's for you kids, she is awesome!

Yay Demi! :D
Demi Lovato is a great role model! Love her, but I suggest Selena Gomez too. :D I like the songs by her~ Don`t Forget, Catch Me, and La La Land They`re pretty much all completely clean. The music video for La La Land even has the Sonny with a Chance cast in it!
