It’s nice to see how positive these comments are. As someone who’s idolised Demi my whole life, I honestly feel like we’re finally seeing her genuinely happy for once in her life where she’s focusing on herself and not trying to live up to what people expect of her yet people still need to make negative comments on any interview about her new album with “Demi needs help” or “Demi’s gone crazy” because she’s wearing the clothes she wants to wear, make up and hair she wants to wear, singing the music she wants to sing and seems completely comfortable in her body. But people still feel the need to make negative comments because they don’t like seeing her happy.

[@beverleyeliane]

Totally agree, those people still looking for her old image will never be able to appreciate the pure art she’s putting out these days. None of her contemporaries can even hold a candle to the skill and honestly in her singing and song writing.
