Please, everyone keep it up.
You're so talented.

What in the world?
She saw the video!
That was amazing! Thank you so much, Demi.
Oh my God!
I didn't know it was gonna be like that!
Demi, thank you so much.
I thank you for just being you and being real
when you get out on the stage, and just being you
wherever you are.
I really do appreciate you for viewing us,
our little old us from little old Mississippi.

Oh, that was beautiful too.
Karl is who just performed that
and his range is so big, that was incredible.
He belts so loud, which is something that I love
to do myself, and so he did a really, really great job.
That song has a lot of belting in it
and he did exactly that.
♪ If nobody's listening ♪
- Oh my God, is this even real?
- Wow.
Oh, that was beautiful too.
- Oh my God.
- The power
behind his vocal performance was really impressive.
You know, he sings with such a big voice.
Karl, your belting is on point - Oh my God, she said my name!
- And your range is incredible.
- Oh wow!
Oh my God, I have nothing to say.
Oh my God, am I dreaming?
Oh my God, is this real?
Can you give me a moment?
I need to suck it all, oh my God, Demi Lovato!
I just wanna say thank you, Demi,
if you're gonna watch this video.
Thank you so much for being such a good inspiration
and such a good role model to everyone.
Thank you for being the voice
for the silent people just like me.
Thank you for making day, Demi Lovato.

- Oh, yay.
They definitely made it clean,
left out all the curse words.
They stripped it down, too.
They put it acoustic to the piano.
And so, it's always really cool to hear a song
whenever I'm used to performing it really big,
to hear it stripped down
into something like this was really, really nice.
The story I wanted to tell with this song is I was
in a really, really great place when I wrote it
and when I recorded it.
And I wanted the world to know that, you know,
I'm doing a lot better.
And I took a break for a while and kinda stayed out
of the spotlight, but this was my first song,
or actually my second song back.
It was really fun to have something light-hearted
so that things were staying positive
and focusing on the up and up.
♪ Oh, why do I compare myself to everyone ♪
- Oh yay, I always loving hearing Cimorelli sing my songs.
They do such a beautiful, beautiful job of it.
And this was just another perfect example
of how talented they are.
These girls nail their harmonies,
which is really hard to do in a group.
They killed it.
- Oh my God!
Watching her talk about that was so intense,
like I almost started, like, crying
because I was like this is so wild
and like inspirational.
- It was nice to see her liking my idea for that
and the way that we changed it.
- The teenage me, like, on a walk, listening to her songs
while I'm going through a breakup would never guess that
that would happen years later, so that's insane to me.
- And there's just certain moments
where you just really appreciate everything
and all the hard work that you kinda put
in that no one sees.
- Yes.
- And this is definitely one of those moments.
- Thank you, Demi, for making me the woman that I am today.
Thank you for being so kind and supportive of our music,
all the nice things that you said.
I'll never forget them.
I'll get them tattooed on my back now.
- Me too, I'm going with her.

Oh, yes!
It's such a fun pop song, but he just added this little soul
to it that really got me feeling.
And I love it, I loved every bit of it.
I might play with that in my live shows
and make it sound more like that.
That's cool.
I wanted to convey the message of, obviously,
what's in the title
it's okay not to be okay.
Everybody had a rough year last year.
It was weird and confusing.
I wanted to put out an anthem that told everyone,
"Hey, you're not alone.
You might feel like you're alone, but you're not.
And it's okay to not be okay."
♪ It's okay not to be okay ♪

That was so soulful and had such a beautiful approach
to this song that I wish I had actually thought
of doing myself.
Charles, thank you so much.
That was so beautiful, so soulful.
I loved every second of it.
- Wow, that was incredible.
Oh my gosh, I'm lost for words right now.
It's like a kid on Christmas,
and it was just like the best gift ever,
and you're just like, "Ah!".
You know what I mean?
Like, it's just like wow.
That was mind blowing.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to that.
I'm so inspired and motivated right now
to even push forward and continue.
That touched every piece of my spirit and my soul.

I'm used to hearing that song upbeat, obviously.
That's the way that I released, it recorded,
and perform it.
And that was so beautiful stripped down into a ballad.
That was really, really nice.
♪ It's okay not to be okay ♪
The melody switch-ups were so beautiful.
I loved what she did with some of the notes.
I think you heard an actual 'oh' when she did that.
Dani and Colton, that was so beautiful.
Your voices are great.
- That's so crazy.
- Oh my God!
- And that like feels so weird that she also said our names.
- She said our names and I will die very happy.
Nothing else will top that.
Oh, I'm sweating so much.
- I would say thank you to her for being, like,
unafraid to put out music that is vulnerable.
And always, like, living her life in a spotlight,
like I know that that can't be easy to share your feelings
with the world.
It inspires us to share our feelings with the world,
which inspires other people.
And I think that the world would be a better place
if we are all just like a little bit more vulnerable
and honest.
And I think that she's helping with that.
- It's like she is the creator, and she's a writer,
and a performer of that song that spoke to us
and made us reimagine it.
It is inspiring people
and making us what to do what she does.

I don't think I've heard skyscraper with a ukulele before,
so that was really unique and give it like a Hawaiian feel.
I don't know, it took me back to Hawaii.
This song, I actually didn't write on.
I remember hearing it for the first time and thinking,
wow, I need this song, like it just fits exactly
what I've gone through, who I am, where I am now.
And it represented triumph in a period of time
in my life that was really difficult to get through.

Aw, she's so cute, Sammi.
You remind me of me when I would play

'cause I know that's like a natural microphone.

I loved that. Keep it up.
- Oh my God!
That is unreal.
I can't even think right now.
Demi, thank you so much for watching that,
for saying what you said,
and for just being a constant role model in my life
for as long as I can remember.

- He had more of the acoustic singer, song-writy vibes.
Writy, writer?
Writery? I don't know. - Writy or writer, whatever.
- He had more of the acoustic vibes.
Tyler, I loved your version of "Skyscraper".
It was so beautiful.
You stripped it down to just the guitar and your voice,
and I think it was so powerful and so beautiful.
- That's amazing.
The way we communicate is through one of her songs,
and I think that that in itself is really powerful.
And we don't even know each other,
but yet we have a connection.
I feel connected, I don't know.
More than that, I feel really special.
I feel very honored.
I don't know, I just feel special. It's cool.
Demi, thank you for listening to my version.
Thank you for your words of encouragement.
And I feel honored and I feel like I'm kinda headed
in the right direction having your validation, so thank you.

or sometimes it's alternative pop-punk.

♪ Why am I always looking for a ride or die ♪
- At least she's smiling.
- That's a good sign so far.

It made me fall in love with the song all over again.
Holocene is so talented.
They did a really, really great job.
- Cool, awesome.
- That's so crazy!
- I'm just excited that she was smiling
while she was watching it, you know, bobbing her head.
- I'm glad that we could take her back
to her emo days 'cause we're still in them.
- Thanks for being in tune with the fan community,
and the YouTube community in general,
and other musicians who are just, you know,
small fish like us.
- Thank you for making such awesome music that is so easy
to cover and bring out the emotion in.
And it's so cool that, like,
she thinks that that's cool as well.
- We as a band are just, like, fueled by inspiration.
And we don't have to really look any farther than her music,
so thank you, Demi.
- Yeah. - Yep.
Keep on rocking.

- Wow, Raymond that was so beautiful.
That song is a really heavy song
and represented like a dark time in my life, as well.
So obviously, it's not ever really fun to listen to
when I'm in a good mood.
But you know, he did a really good job
of making it feel heartfelt
and bringing me back into that emotion.
And that's what music is about is about feeling,
and so he did exactly that.

Raymond, that was so beautiful.
I'm just so impressed and blown away
by the soul in your voice, too.
I could really tell that you were feeling it
and I loved it.
- Oh my gosh.
I'm so speechless right now.
It's a huge compliment, especially 'cause like,
just what she does is so powerful.
Like I mean, she's been a childhood influence
ever since I could remember.
So thank you so much, Demi, for watching my cover.
I really, really, really appreciate it.
I love you so much.
- I would say for anybody that's covering another artist,
any time you can try to make the song your own is
when I think it's the most impressive.
Whenever I cover a song, I make it sound exactly
like the artist 'cause I love what they're doing so much.
But, I've noticed that when I change it up differently
than what the artist did, it kind of perks people's ears up
a little bit.
So, don't be afraid to try new things, take risks,
'cause you never know what will set you apart
and make you different from everyone else.
Thank you so much to Glamor
and to all the cover artists that covered my songs.
