Whomever created the Sputnik page for Demetria Devonne Lovato listed her as “A Disney Pop Singer whose musical style is similar to Miley Cyrus.” While it is certainly easy to think something like this, it is, quite honestly, a blatant falsehood. While both Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus got their push to fame by being in a Disney production which also required them to regularly sing pop-rock tunes, that’s about where the similarities end. You see, Miley’s music initially hinged almost entirely around her character–the lyrics were from Hannah Montana’s perspective, singing about what it’s like to be famous, and how cool it is to be both a popstar AND a regular kid. She did not sing about herself. And once she did begin playing songs as Miley Cyrus instead of Hannah Montana, it divulged into either awkward country-tinged pop or awkward synth-based pop. Demi Lovato, as insignificant as it may be (seeing as these lyrics are not exactly of the highest caliber) is singing about herself, what she does, and the world she lives in–not the world her character lives in. Her music, while distinctly pop-rock, leans much more heavily to the ‘rock’ side of the spectrum most of the time, sounding more like Paramore than Miley.
