Why We Love Lovato: Demi Lovato Rocks SNL Performance

After many well wishes follow an auto collision, the recovery of Tracy Morgan was an much anticipated treat to fans of the comedian/actor. Seeing Morgan revisit his home on Saturday night life after having been on the show for about nine years and taking a 11 year hiatus as his career continued to flourish made hearts warm and faces grin. The only thing that added to the elation of fans was the performance of Demi Lovato.
My daughter grew up watching Demi perform on Barney, a family show that featured a giant purple dinosaur that came alive with the help of imaginative children. Selena Gomez also got her start on the show. After Barney, Demi made strides with Disney starring in made for TV films like Camp Rock and Princess Protection Program (alongside Selena Gomez). After a bout in rehab for a variety of issues ranging from cocaine and alcohol use to depression, Lovato faded from the spotlight after establishing a solid role in the homes of many families on her show Sonny With A Chance.
Just when people were starting their "what happened to Demi Lovato?" inquiries, she began dropping one toe tapping single after another until we all seemed to forget that she ever disappeared. Now, with hits like Cool For The Summer, which explores the road of bisexuality with a rocking tempo that paves the way Lovato seems like she is here to stay.
Her performance on SNL only solidified that argument as she commanded the audience with a skilled performance. Lovato came on the scene as a child actress, but now she is a skilled songstress and judging by her hardships, lyrics, and vocal expertise... she's all woman.
Kudos to Demi Lovato!

    I love Demi! She has a strong voice and personality to match. I think that she had a rough way as a lot of child stars do. I wasn't aware of the substance abuse, but know that she had issues with an eating disorder, bulimia I believe. I'm so happy that she's back. She's such a talent! And like Tracy, she shows that with strength and determination, as well the support of family and friends, you can overcome almost anything! Go get em Demi!!!

    I agree. I think that Demi is a great example of what a little perseverance can do. When I did my research for the post I was surprised to hear about the drug abuse as well however, as you mentioned Tai... most child actors do struggle with it. So glad that Demi came back and STRONG at that!

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re...

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,...

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha...
