With producer Jon Fields at the helm, Demi teamed up with Jonas Brothers to co-write several of the album's 11 songs. It was a natural collaboration, since Demi counts Nick, Joe and Kevin among her best friends. Their inerrant feel for hook-laden rock helped Demi deliver on her vision. 'If I were to write the album by myself it would probably have been a little more serious,' she notes. 'But I didn't want that. I wanted a fun album.'

It's hard to imagine anything more musically fun than full-out rockers like 'Get Back' and 'Gonna Get Caught,' both written by Demi with Jonas Brothers. Says Demi, 'So many guys cheat and play games. I thought there needed to be a song about a guy getting caught. Nick said, `Can't it have a happy ending?' But I said, `No, no, no!''

She balances the uptempo tracks with sweeping ballads like 'Two Worlds' and 'Believe in Me,' the latter featuring a message Demi takes seriously. 'Being a teenage girl you deal with insecurity,' she says. 'People think if you're in the spotlight, you're overly confident, but most of us deal with so much criticism, it gets to us. I'm the type of person who wants to take it with a grain of salt.'

Demi's vulnerable side comes through on 'Until Your Mine' and the title track, a touching ballad (co-written with Jonas Brothers) about a faltering relationship. She explores similar territory in 'On the Line,' an uptempo duet she co-wrote and sings with Nick Jonas. 'We wanted to write a breakup song,' Demi says, 'and what better way to say it when you're breaking up over the phone than with the title `On the Line.''

Demi's inner rocker girl comes roaring back on 'Party' and 'LA LA Land,' a droll take on SoCal life and all its attending artifice. Showing her songwriting skills Demi wrote 'Trainwreck' all by herself. She wraps the album with 'The Middle,' a strikingly mature song about finding balance in love and life.

Rating: - * Pleasantly Surprised ... Okay, first off, I will admit that I'm NOT a Disney fan. The Disney people know now is a little past my generation. I never really liked Miley Cyrus, I thought Camp Rock was a bad movie, and I can't really get into the Jonas Bros. So to say the least, I was skeptical. I heard her single, "Get Back" because it was on the radio and I liked it. I downloaded the song, but I never considered getting her entire album until recently. Now, I've been playing it non-stop practically. The best thing about her is that her lyrics are not specialized towards a particular population. There are obvious lines that are supposed to appeal to her Disney audience (wearing converses in "La La Land"), but songs like "Don't Forget" have no targeted audience. It could be a song about a middle-aged couple and I don't think you would have noticed if it wasn't a teenage girl singing it. She balances maturity and adolescence very well. I'll admit that the second half of the album that is more sappier, and is not as enjoyable as the first half, but "Believe in Me" does showcase her voice, which is actually pretty nice. Best tracks: La La Land, Trainwreck, and Don't Forget. The duet with the Jonas Bros is also great. Track that could have been better: "The Middle." If there is one song you don't download, I guess it would be this. It's one of those mediocre songs. It's not really upbeat, but it's not a ballad either. It just gets lost in the rest of the album. But anyway, this album is definitely worth a listen...especially if you're not a Disney fan. Rating: - * Excellent! ... This CD is excellent! It is in VERY good condition. My daughter enjoyed it very much! You can barely tell this CD has been used. Rating: - * Demi Lovato is amazing: ) ... I knew the second I heard Demi was making an album, I was gonna buy it. I love Demi, she is such a good role model. She is a great actress and has a beautiful gift of singing. This album is amazing, not kidding, I love it so much!<3 If you like the Jonas Brothers, you will definitely enjoy this album. "Believe In Me" would have to be my favorite song off the album, even though I love them all just because it means so much to me. It's like she read my mind. Rating: - * AWESOMEEEEE! ... I LOVE Demi Lovato.She has GOT talent.She shows herself in this debut album.I'm a fan and of course GREAT CD. Rating: - * This Girl Has A Voice ... Being one of my 2 daughters favorite singer, actor, performer, I have to say, tis girl has some pipes in her voice. She sings like an angel and is a natural performer. Nothing in her talent is fake. She's the true deal. The cd is great and the songs and the feelings when she interprets them is just outstanding. I only give honors to whom it deserves them, and she definitely does.
