I was introduced to Demi Lovato as both an actress and a singer at the same time when I came across the Disney short series, As the Bell Rings, a few years back. One of her first albums “Here We Go Again” was the soundtrack to my summer just two years ago and even though I was older than the Disney stars then, I was still a fan of hers. If you think about it, it’s no different than girls I know who are Beliebers.

Earlier this year, she suffered from a breakdown for which she received treatment for her eating disorders, depression and bi-polar disorder and now she’s back – stronger and healthier than ever before. Many musicians that have gone through similar ordeals were unable to bounce back, but her comeback has proven otherwise. I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant to hear her new album Unbroken especially when I noticed that some of her tracks were titled “You’re My Only Shorty” and “My Love Like a Star,” but believe it or not – I’ve found some tracks to love out of the bunch.
I even caught a snippet today of Demi Lovato’s interview w/ Ellen about her dedication to being a role model for young girls, which I found to be inspiring. When I was growing up, my friends and I didn’t go through the same struggles that many girls today are facing and I think that Demi – having gone through these experiences – has the ability to be that strong icon for young girls especially during a time when it is so crucial.
