I mean... 6 out of 10 songs in the top 10 in the US are really either POP (and not the electropop thing) or alternative... |
But then again, Somebody I Used To Know started to become popular in Europe first (The Netherlands was one of the first where it was #1 on iTunes, and the guy is Flemisch so...  ).
Also I even heard the frikkin song before it was known in Europe. I saw the Youtube Video of the Music Video in August last year. Hardly anyone even knew it :s
But it is rare of a song like that to even become popular, but the song is so frikking good...

WE7 had the privilege to meet Disney teen star and role model to millions Demi Lovato on her flying visit to the UK earlier this week. Find out what the American singer-songwriter, actress and spokesperson had to say about tweeting to six million people and her admiration for Adele.
Hi Demi, it’s great to have you here in London - how do you find travelling and are you enjoying your time here?
I really love travelling and I’ve had a really great time here in London. I’m only here for a couple of days but since I’ve been here the fans have been so amazing. It’s always fun coming to London.
Your new album, ‘Unbroken’, is out this week. That’s quite a defiant title - what is the meaning behind it?
The meaning behind ‘Unbroken’ is that it just kind of represents the journey that I’ve been on. I’ve gone through a lot but nothing has been able to break me and today I stand unbroken.
The new album seems to have taken a different direction to how you started out with Disney. It’s a lot more R&B. Do you think it shows more of who you are and the route you want to take with your music in the future?
I chose to make this album more R&B because it’s something that I haven’t done before and I just really wanted to experience what it would be like. I don’t know if it necessarily best represents who I am so I don’t know if I’d do it again on the next album, but you never know. Sometimes I go into an album prepared to record say a pop album and it comes out pop-rock, so you just never know what can happen!
You worked with some great artists on the album. How did these collaborations come about and who was your favourite to work with?
It just kind of happened, I didn’t really plan any of it. The most memorable was definitely getting to work with Timbaland and Missy Elliott. I had so much fun working with them in Miami, it was one of the best weeks of my life! It was awesome - I had a blast and I really enjoyed working with them.
You started your career with acting. Is that something you think you will go back to?
I definitely want to go back into acting at some point, but right now it’s not my top priority. I’ve really just been focused on performing, and making music is my number one passion. Maybe in a little while I’ll go back to television or movies but for right now I just want to focus on music.
You have an incredible 6.3million Twitter followers (and yet only follow 233 lucky people!). Do you enjoy using Twitter and how do you decide who to follow?
I follow people that I find really interesting or people that I’m friends with. Everyone that I follow I think I’ve probably had some sort of encounter with, except for Britney Spears, but you have to follow Britney Spears! I’m really thankful for twitter because it’s almost like a direct line to your fans - you can tweet something and it’s instantly put out into the world in front of 6 million of your fans. I love it. I think it’s a great way to communicate with your fans.
There are so many strong female artists in pop right now. How do you feel you fit in?
I don’t really put myself up there with artists like Katy Perry or Rihanna. I still feel like I’m working really hard to get there. Hopefully one day I’ll be at their level, but for right now I’m content with where I am. But of course I still want to achieve those kind of goals and have those aspirations.
You do a lot of work for anti-bullying campaigns and have spoken a lot about the struggles you have been through. What advice would you give to young girls who might feel the pressure of trying to fit in?
I would say if they’re being bullied then to speak up about it - tell someone, don’t bottle it up. If you’re struggling with self image, you’re not alone. It’s something that I still struggle with today - I’m not always perfectly happy with my body. After all, I’m a woman and what woman is? But I make sure I tell myself that I’m beautiful and I tell myself daily affirmations, so I would recommend that to younger girls - and guys.
As you are here in England, which British stars do you admire?
I love James Morrison. He’s one of my favourite musicians. I also love Corinne Bailey Rae, and Amy Winehouse of course was so incredible, but I think Adele is my favourite.
What are your ambitions for your music?
I don’t really know where I see myself going with my music but hopefully it’s some place where I can reach a bigger audience and I can really speak to people with my music and have them relate to it. I feel like Adele’s career has taken off and gone so far because she’s so easy to relate to and so vulnerable in her songs. I really want to accomplish that on my next album.
Who would you say are your main influences, and who did you listen to growing up?
Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera were really my two main influences growing up, but thanks to my mum I also had a lot of other, older influences like Motown and stuff like that. I loved Billie Holiday and Aretha Franklin.

But i hope not only like adele... I mean, she should make her own sound for the next album. I want some upbeat songs too! Not like Unbroken *song* maybe, but definitely like GYHAB or something like ANL.
And I hope she doesn't think if she does it like Adele she will be successful like her

I like GYHAB more than most of her pop-rock, but I like pop-rock more overall I guess...
Kinda just because I listen a LOT to rock/hard rock I guess

She never said she'd make songs like Adele.

She wants to be easy to relate to and feel vulnerable in her songs.
Basically, she wants to sound real. That's all she's saying and I totally agree 
Edit: Also, she said she's really not sure yet what style her next album will be, so that also shows she's not going for an Adele type of album, as she'd know that then

well yeah but i just hope she makes fun stuff too. I mean it's good when songs have meaning, but an album full of that would be too much imho. I need her to make light songs too, maybe without much meaning.

Demi got some criticism with thisn album cause the difference in all the songs. Many say that most songs seperately are really good, but put together on the album are a mess. And I can see their point honestly...

meaningful songs are all good, but it'd bore me fast to listen to an album like that...
and fun songs don't have to be electropop or so? She's had fun songs on HWGA and on the same time meaningful songs, you can mix it up and the genre won't be too different
