Demi Lovato isn't bothered about having radio hits, okay

Demetria Devonne "Demi" 'Demi Lovato' Lovato has said she doesn't care about radio hits and is bored of singing some of her biggest hits in a live scenario.

Having a chat with Latina magazine (as quoted here), she said the following words in the following order.

“I don’t care about radio hits. When you try hard for that, it doesn’t happen."

Someone should tell Max Martin this, he's obviously been doing it all wrong. Anyway, warming to the theme, Demi continued:

“It’s songs like ‘Stone Cold’ that I don’t get tired of singing on tour. I get tired of singing ‘Give Your Heart a Break’ [WHAT A TUNE] and even ‘Confident’ already."

Has she reached your peak yet though? Does she think her voice is better now than a year ago? Are you now in a position to show people what you can do?

"I have yet to reach my peak, and also, my voice is better now than it was a year ago. Now I can show people what I can do.”

A nice big radio hit would be a great start, right? Don't try to write one though!! That would ruin everything!!!
