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!

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...

The First Time: Act Like You Know

" You know I care about you", he whined. He always seemed to whine when he was trying to persuade her. His brown eyes were wild and pleading. She didn't want to. She couldn't put a finger on why she didn't or when she would, but she just didn't. He still kept at it. What was a conversation became a debate. Every sentence said was in the form of an argument. He was stating his case. Why was he so passionate? "I'm not going to go anywhere. You know that." His frustration became apparent. He was annoyed with her for being so indecisive. He was impatient. He didn't want an answer, he wanted "the answer". She began to feel nervous. He did care for her, she knew that ... he isn't going anywhere... she knew that . Why was it so hard to give in? He finally relented with a few cuss words and turned his back to her. She felt like she upset him. Her nurturing instinct told her to make him feel better. She touched his shoulder, be...
