[@nicanproud]

Yayayay!!! Here We Go Again is next!! I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED.

[@nicanproud]

Sir, you and I are on the same page on this album. Its my least favorite of their discography. They really tried to take advantage of the era to promote Demi and it failed because you lose Demi's authenticity. This was also around the time they were going into and leaving rehab. They didn't have themselves figured out at all. The songs on this album that are more personal to Demi's life are so much better (catch me commenting while I watch lol)

[@nicanproud]

Demi's father actually died fairly recently. It happened after they released this song. There are AMAZING songs on this album, but the sound was very weird. Basically anything that didn't feel like forced promotion was good.

[@sarahcrisafi]

Skyscraper was their comeback single, this album was released after rehab but they recorded skyscraper beforehand. This was Demi’s low point and their voice was raspy because it was so damage from their ED, drug use and constant touring at the time. They re-recorded this song after coming back from rehab but didn’t feel it had the same raw emotion as the original.

[@TheMsharrypotter12]

Its so crazy!! Thats one of my fave demi songs and it sucks cuz their voice is so beautiful there but they were going through so much 😭😭😭

this is a really polarising album for demi stans but I believe it has some of their most beautiful songs in there, my love is like a star, fix a heart, lightweight, for the love of a daughter, skyscraper!!!! a truly underrated album in their discography

[@blogistuff4383]

Steven:literally th- Demi: Shhh, I'm not done

[@drebe96]

The streams aren't much because this album debuted before streaming era. You'll notice the same for their first two albums as well. I'm so glad you actually appreciate Hold Up! It's so underrated to me honestly. My favorite Demi song of all time is My Love Is Like A Star because it's just so lyrically great. There is also another previous version of For the Love of the Daughter from 'Here we go Again' era that is more rock than pop rock like this version! But the Hold Up appreciation really moves me lol

I like songs from this album 🎶🌸

[@yogobriane1156]

Unbroken is Demi's best album because of the quality ballads alone. Fix a Heart, For the Love of a Daughter, Skyscraper, Lightweight and My Love is Like a Star are all 10/10 ballads that sound completely distinct and different.

[@karinaortiz1459]

Unbroken era is so important to me, because I “came out” as a lovatic in 2011, and I was obsessed with them. Unbroken was the first CD I bought in a store, I used to play the songs every single day, and of course, I know every single lyric from this album 😍😍😍😍

[@melisamansilla1503]

YESS, unbroken reaction I'm so here for it

[@juliapakarinen7956]

In a certain way, this was the Demi-reaction I was looking forward the most, because this album has gotten so mixed reviews among critics and fans. "Together" was the first song on the album that made me excited as well. "Lightweight" is one of my favorite ballads by Demi, and the ballads in general are my favorites on this album. "Unbroken" feels like a sibling-song to "Never Been Hurt", if it makes sense. "Hold Up" and "In Real Life" are sadly underrated. I was waiting for your reaction to the high note at the end of bridge of "GYHAB", and was kinda disappointed when it didn't come. *haha* :D Like many people have said, Demi recorded the original, rock-version of "For the Love Of A Daughter" for "Here We Go Again", but it was left out because her team thought it would be too mature for her fans from Disney-times. I love both versions, but the first one was more edgy and angry, whereas this one naturally feels even more personal, emotional and mature. Lyrics are a bit different too. Thanks for this reaction, I can't wait your reactions to "HWGA" and "DF."

Demi’s dad was alive when this album came out. If I remember correctly, he passed away two something years later

I absolutely LOVE HOLD UP!! It's so underrated...

[@DaneTrotter]

The ‘almost whistle notes’ are actually called Intentional Vocal Breaks but tbh I prefer ‘almost whistle notes’ lol

[@carllangenscheid]

The streaming numbers are low because it was released in 2011 before the streaming era and where people were still mostly buying albums

[@melissathw]

This album is so special to me cause it was at a point where we weren’t sure if we would get more of them after their stay in rehab. And now we have dancing with the devil which is another pivotal moment where we REALLY almost didn’t get another album from them. It’s definitely not my favorite of theirs but as a lovatic who was there during this era it’s special 💗

I honestly LOVE this album, I think it features her best pop songs and also some of her best deep cuts. Definitely deserves more love from fans and everyone.

Give Your Heart a Break will go down in the history books. Genuinely so excited for you to react to her first two

[@afterglowlovato]

HOLD UP IS MOST DEFINITELY UNDERRATED THANK YOU!!!

[@malcomchance]

first off, i'm a huge fan of your channel and reactions. i love how you listen to music and truly connect with vocal performance, lyrical content, and production. i was waiting for this reaction because i feel like context is needed when listening to this album. this record is truly a time capsule of the early 2010s sound in pop music fused with hip hop and r&b. that being said, demi was very inspired by r&b artists like keri hilson and rihanna and wanted to experiment with their sound. personally, i think the record was rushed as it was their first record released just 8 months after their first rehab stint. additionally, i think rearranging the order of the track listing could have helped the overall flow of the record, but i agree with your sentiment towards the features (minus "all night long" which still slaps for me). that aside, the deep cuts on this album make it one of my favorites from demi. tracks like "lightweight" (produced by timbaland), "fix a heart," and "in real life" need more attention. they really showed out with the vocals, which is incredible given their continued struggles with bulimia and drug addiction at the time. i just wish we could get more visuals from demi when they release an album. but maybe i'm just being greedy, haha. as long as they are happy and taking care of themselves.

[@valentlna.x]

YES AFTER THIS ONE WE WILL ENTER THE POP PUNK/ROCK ERA

[@juanh6099]

For the love of a daughter was written for Demi’s Here we go again album but the label thought it was to mature to release it. Demi was 16. Her father died in 2013. I think Demi was around 20 at the time.

[@giannaminocha]

*their

[@yogobriane1156]

That version was so bad with the unnecessary instrumentals. I'm so glad their label didn't allow them to release it in that album because the stripped down version we got on Unbroken instead is literally their most amazing ballad. If anyone hates Unbroken, they should remember For the Love of a Daughter has the amazing instrumental arrangement and vocals that it does because that album exists. If they put it on Here We Go Again, it would've had that poprock instrumental we all heard to leak to, and if it were on DEMI, it would've only been piano alone, plus Demi's voice changed between the 2 albums.

[@guidobarritta7405]

omg im so happy you are reacting to them entire discography, but also sad cause there are only two albums left

[@gioaarons]

It's crazy you didn't know skyscraper, it was her big comeback single after going to rehab

[@victorrivera9131]

Can’t wait for him to react to pop/rock era! Is so good!

[@Kimiblues]

I really love unbroken... Then again I listened to it when it came out on repeat &i feel at that time it felt like it really fit Demi. Some of my fave of their songs are on there. I think demi just likes to experiment

[@trevorbrannon4818]

I'm so happy you are on this album finally. This is my favorite album of their's because it is the first album of their's I bought. It is the album that caused me to fall in love with Demi.

[@jasminesmith8328]

I remember when I used to listen to this album all the time 😂😂 My favorite ones are Lightweight, and My love is like a star

[@Sarahca323]

I love that you loved hold up! I used to be OBSESSED with it! If I was streaming in 2011, I probably put 4.5 million streams myself lol

[@LazicNikola]

can't believe some people dislike this album...it's literally my third fave from them

[@brendamarjorie2723]

this album is my least favorite because it doesn't sound like demi... I don't know... It's probably cause they only wrote five songs. On the other hand, there are songs that I love sooo much like my love is like a star, it's in my top 3 of all Demi's discography

[@thisismecindy]

it has a lot of filler songs that are pretty corny... we can't deny that.

[@gagoncho]

I think it has a lot of fillers but the good songs are amazing like MLILAS

[@arneallemeersch]

If we look at it from the perspective of that time, this album is pop perfection for sure. If they were released as singles at that time, I do believe All Night Long and Together definitely had hit potential

[@AngelofAmbrosia]

While I love many of the songs on the album, I do remember her saying that this album was weird for her. She said something like “I just got out of rehab and thought I was Rihanna” when talking about the direction. The more personal songs definitely stand out on this album.

[@jjceja8872]

For the love of a daughter has a more rock influenced version on KZbin because it was originally supposed to be on “here we go again” but Disney/Hollywood Rec believed it was too serious for their audience. However it’s demo leaked on KZbin.

[@oriana_fortunato]

Minute 10 is Steven literally trying to convince himself that he needs to keep listening... same, my boy. That was me being 13, Demi being my absolute hero, trying to convince myself that because I loved Demi, I was supposed to love all of the songs... I think the problem was the first 3 songs. I always liked Together.

[@oriana_fortunato]

YES, HOLD UP IS UNDERRATED.

[@Sarahca323]

We alllll struggled through the first 3 😭 but I loved Demi so much so we made it through!

[@georginamoreira6723]

Fix a heart, was the song that makes me a Lovatic for sure. At the momento it really describes how i was feeling, and it makes me feel less alone.

[@ruchelleshamp5256]

I wish I could hear Skyscraper for the first time again, I still get chills every time I hear it.

[@costasurblvd]

my spirit left my body with that JaSOn dEruLo 😂 ps: unbroken is demi’s 3rd album and the one recorded after the first rehab and i guess demi’s team tried to get those features to make sure the album got a more “mature public”. plus i guess this was the album they wanted to have in order to switch from the pop rock genre. and finally, for the love of a daughter has a pop rock version recorded back in 2009.

[@leandrorojas3243]

I love your reactions, I can't wait for the next two, "Don't forget" is one of my favorites. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷💞

[@benitezriosjulieta8273]

Yeeees!! We love your reactions of Demi's music ❤️✨

[@dopeelectric3900]

For the Love of a Daughter was written for their Here We Go Again album but Disney thought it was too heavy for their audience. It had more of a rock instrumental and actually leaked online. You can find it on KZbin. Demi’s father passed away in 2013, so he was actually alive at this time.

[@fernandonarvaezgomez9362]

Today I woke up with the hope Steven upload this reaction!

[@Thesantefebells]

For The Love of a Daughter has a rock version also! Definitely recommend listening to it also!

[@JoshuaGarza-m2z]

You’re My Only Shorty is originally Ariana Grande song but Demi took this song i think because ariana doesn’t see her self with this song

[@mirialie345]

Demi’s collabs are really hit or miss for me bc I end up just wanting to hear them only. I love this album still but do skip the collabs often I am so excited for the next two album reactions!! Those are my favorites of theirs

the shift between the first half of the album and the second is honestly insane!! fix a heart and lightweight and my love is like a star are some of their best ballads. feels like they had more creative control over the second half of it.

[@manni1148]

So happy to see you react to this. I know you’re gonna love it. Hope the Julia Michaels album soon.

[@briigee544]

Demi recorded skyscraper before they went into rehab for the first time , came out of rehab and tried to re-record it and felt like they couldn’t get the same emotions in the voice , because the original recording was them like screaming out for help , they said they were bent over like sobbing in the studio recording this song . It reminds me of their song Sober and how it was recorded and written before the overdose , and they kept those same vocals because it felt like such a cry for help

[@bowiehs]

Underrated Gem!! Love you Steven! Keep them coming!

[@osielmacareno7448]

STEVEN PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK HOW OLD DEMI WAS WHEN YOU REVIEW THE LAST 2 ALBUMS. IT WILL SHOCK YOU.

[@afterglowlovato]

idk if someone has already said this but demi recorded skyscraper before they went into rehab as like a cry for help song and when they got out they tried re recording it but it didn’t have that same cry for help feel so they kept the first recording!! also for the love of a daughter was meant to be on hwga so you should definitely check out their pop rock version on youtube it’s soooooo good!!!

[@OTHWORLD]

The ballads came through on Unbroken but I believe that the first tracks weren't really Demi and they were probably put there because the record label was worried with the whole rehab thing. I mean they were releasing the album like in last than 6 months after their rehab entry Demi's dad passed away in 2013 so he was still around for that song

[@discoveralexis]

Ahhhhh yes !!!! Clicked so quick!! Just 2 more albums after this !!! Can’t wait. Was so happy to watch this reaction!!!!

[@skylerbridges1694]

We need her first two albums please, you’ll love them

[@idoltina]

The amount of synchronicity I felt while listening to you talk about this album is off the charts. It DOES feel like there's a lot of outside influence in this album- particularly when the first four tracks are features. The first FOUR! I think the first two fare better than the others, but I think when I look back on this album as one of my least favorites from Demi, it's BECAUSE of those features (I just- I cannot deal with "You're My Only Shorty"). The overall sound of this album (particularly the features) is also a departure from her previous two, so the whole album feels very much like trying to make a mark and have more staying power? Which is so interesting to me, because I think there are other albums both before and after this one that left way more of a mark on the musical scene than this one. The rest of the album where it's just them (just Demi) is so solid. Like the difference when we get out of the features and move onto "Lightweight" gives me chills. It's night and day. Also, selfishly, I am SO fucking excited for you to do the next album, Here We Go Again. It's in my top 2-3 Demi albums, if not my actual favorite, and I think these last two you've got in front of you you are going to LOVE.
