Avril Lavigne is Back!

In 2015 she recorded the song ''Fly'' that was made in honor of the Special Olympics World Summer Games. Now After a few years of no new music, she came back Wednesday 19th with a new song called ''Head Above Water'' which was posted as a lyrics video. There is a music video on the way for this song. I don't know if there will be a new album or new music but we can only hope for more!


I'm glad she's back and working on music again. It must be pretty hard while dealing with her Lyme Disease. Her new song Head Above Water is based on the illness because Avril added: ''To find resources on Lyme Disease PREVENTION. Educate yourself on doctors and TREATMENT. Learn more about the most current scientific RESEARCH and Join our fight against Lyme, vist http://www.TheAvrilLavigneFoundation.org''  So, if your dealing with this illness then please go and find help!

My first Demi Lovato concert

Yes yes yes yes! Wednesday 19 June 2018 we finally saw Demi Lovato in concert at AFAS Live, after so many years. We? My cousin and I are the best of friends. After my cousin saw she was coming here, she texted me right away and we kinda bought the tickets right a head. But... The first time we where out of luck! Yep! The tickets went so fast the first time around but gladly Demi announced a second concert. I didn't know we where still going because I texted my dear cousin but she did not reply... Until my birthday! I opened my birthday card and the ticket was inside! I was surprised, I thought I was getting something else because I asked for a CD but I was so happy with the tickets that it didn't matter!

On Our Way There
On our way to the concert, we played Demi's newest album and we sang pretty much all the way there. But we almost didn't make it because of the lots of traffic on the road and because they where working on the road as well. We also still needed to eat something because we didn't had the time for it before we left.



When we finally arrived we saw the row for the concert was still very long but it was already moving. We decided to eat something quickly even that didn't work out so well because Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z where giving a concert in the Arena! Seriously, I think I've never ever seen so many people at the same place before, haha. I heard that even people flew all the way to see them. We saw all kinds of different people from all around the world, it was pretty cool. Anyway after we finally had dinner, the row was pretty much gone and we where kinda the last two to head inside.

Before we went in we bought a bracelet which is a sweet reminder of the show when it's over. When we came walking into the concert room, to our surprise we stood pretty close to the stage! That and we noticed it was a kinda small show room. I thought it would be bigger because after all it's Demi Lovato! But it was her first time here in Holland, so we couldn't blame her to be careful. You never know how many fans there will be.

The Concert

The lights dimmed and the room became darker, the for program was starting. Honestly we didn't like it very much. Little too slow for a concert, you couldn't dance to the music and we hardly heard a word she sang. She had a soft kind of voice, so maybe that was it? I don't know but we where very happy that Demi came on stage!

It all started with Demi's little videoclip which was more common during her show. The video's gave important messages as to stay strong. Demi started with her song You Don't Do It For Me Anymore which was followed by Daddy Issues, Cool For The Summer, Sexy Dirty Love and Heart Attack. Everyone sang alone but not much dancing or jumping around, like I was used to by 30STM. This was of course no rockband. It was some getting used too but I loved it in the end! Maybe no dancing or jumping around but we waved and sang on top of our lungs! During Give Your Heart A Break there was a Kiss Cam but sadly enough it didn't seem to work. After Confident, she sang Concentrate on her guitar while sitting on a bed. Followed by Cry Baby and Lonely which she also sang on top of the bed with dansers around her. After No Promises, Solo, Échame La Culpa and Fall In Line, a piano was put on stage and Demi took place. Demi asked if anyone has seen her Simply Complicated Documentary and teases with another one, she did not confirm it, so I guess we've to wait and see. She also wanted to talk about mental health but she decided not to because of speaking to much about it. She wanted us and everyone else to know that you can get though it. ''I'm going to sing this song for you. Not because I feel like I need to say something. This is for all my warriors out there tonight.'' Then Demi began singing Warrior because it it such important song to pretty much all of us. The final two songs where Sorry Not Sorry and Tell Me You Love Me.

I loved the concert. It was amazing. Amazing to finally see her live and in person. Amazing to see all the supporters out there, all so sweet and friendly. It was magical, as it always is to finally see the artist you've always wanted too see for the first time!



What I love about demi?
What's not to love right? Well there's one thing that everyone agree's on, her addictions but for me that's kinda it. I don't know anything els. I love how she stays strong and help us to do the same. How she always seems too think of others. How she speaks openly about her mental health. How she write all those strong songs that seem to speak to everyone and how she always sings so amazingly high! I love it! She has such a strong, beautiful voice.
