Lovato's debut studio album, Don't Forget, released on September 23, 2008, was met with generally positive reviews from critics.[43][44][45] Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly said, "Demi Lovato might satisfy her 'tween fans but she won't be winning any rockers over with Don't Forget".[46] The album debuted at number two in the US, with first-week sales of 89,000 copies.[47] Ten of its songs were co-written with the Jonas Brothers.[48]
Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, with Lovato reprising her role as Mitchie Torres, premiered on September 3, 2010.[82][83] Critics were ambivalent about the film's plot, and it has a 40-percent approval ratingon Rotten Tomatoes.[84] However, Lovato's performance was called "dependably appealing" by Jennifer Armstrong of Entertainment Weekly.[85] The film premiered to eight million viewers, the number-one cable television movie of the year by the number of viewers.[86] Its accompanying soundtrack was released on August 10 with Lovato singing nine songs, including "Can't Back Down" and "Wouldn't Change a Thing".[87] The soundtrack debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 41,000 copies.[88] Jonas Brothers: Live in Concert was reworked to incorporate Lovato and the rest of the film's cast;[89] it began on August 7, two weeks later than planned.[90] The Sonny with a Chance soundtrack was released on October 5; Lovato sang on four tracks, including "Me, Myself and Time".[91] It debuted (and peaked) at number 163 on the Billboard 200, her lowest-selling soundtrack.[92] In November 2010, Lovato announced her departure from Sonny with a Chance, putting her acting career on hiatus and ending the series;[93] she later said that she would return to acting when she felt confident doing so.[94] Her departure led to the actual spin-off series So Random! with the Sonny cast, featuring sketches from the former show-within-a-show. The series was canceled after one season.[95]

I would practice to his songs all the time."[290] In her teens, Lovato listened to heavy metal music,[291] including bands such as the Devil Wears Prada, Job for a Cowboy, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, and Bring Me the Horizon.[292] She has said that John Mayer's songwriting has in particular been a "huge influence" on hers[280] and that he taught her to write songs by starting with the titles.[246] Following the release of Unbroken, her musical style shifted towards hip hop and R&B.[280] Upon the release of the song "Without a Fight" by country music singer Brad Paisley featuring Lovato, she cited the country genre as a lifelong strong musical influence of hers, as she "grew up listening to country" and her mother "was a country singer".[293]
In a review of the Neon Lights Tour, Mike Wass from Idolator remarked "you don't need shiny distractions when you can belt out songs like Demi and connect with the crowd on such an emotional level".[305] In a review of the Demi World Tour, Marielle Wakim from Los Angeles magazine praised Lovato's vocals, commenting, "For those who haven't bothered to follow Lovato's career, let's get something out of the way: [Lovato] can sing....
