Demi Lovato will be honored with the inaugural "Rulebreaker" award at Billboard's Women in Music event on Dec. 11 at Cipriani Midtown in New York. This year's Women in Music event will air on TV for the first time via Lifetime on Dec. 18.
In addition to the "Rulebreaker" award, the "Confident" singer will perform at the 2015 Women in Music event.
"Demi Lovato is an artist in full control of her career," said Janice Min, co-president and chief creative officer of Guggenheim Media’s Entertainment Group, which consists of Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter. "Her ability to use and not hide her personal story in her music and in her own mission is inspiring. She has a passion and drive to empower other girls and women that is remarkable. She’s a true force in the industry and a ‘rule breaker’ who has inspired millions."
The only rule she's broken is releasing music without seeing adequate results and apparently stealing a band's intellecual property.
I'm so sick of her copying Selena's every move as an effort of being succesful. Selena released her lead? Demi does a week later. Selena releases her album? Demi does a week later. Selena announces a world tour? Demi announces hers a week later. Selena releases her follow-up single? Demi does a week later. Selena's performing at the AMA's? Demi is announced a week later. Selena is receiving an existing Billboard honor? Demi pays to receive a fake one a week later.
The only difference is that Selena has been more successful in every single aspect.
Her team is trying so hard with this "rulebreaker" image that they got Billboard to give her an award for it, I just
HOW does she break any rules? Releasing an album + single called Confident doesn't make you a rebel sis. You're a bit late on the empowerment anthem trend. Also late on publicizing traumatic events.
