Demi Lovato Informs Her Buzznet Fans That Hayley Williams Is An Inspiration

Demi Lovato has already achieved TV and pop music stardom in her short career, but she's had to overcome plenty of obstacles along the way. How did she find the determination to never give up? Her fans might be surprised: she looked for inspiration to a star only three years older than her — Hayley Williams, lead singer of Paramore. And now Demi is about to share what she believes is her biggest accomplishment yet.

Demi already surprised (and thrilled) her fans a few weeks ago when she revealed to Buzznet that she has a huge desire to collaborate with pop superstar Kelly Clarkson, whom Demi has adored since age 10.

Now back with Buzznet for Round 2, Demi has answered 7 more fan questions. You might be surprised at what she has to say.

Bunday: What motivated/inspired you to not give up on your dreams?

Demi Lovato: My music and my passion for songwriting and playing piano and guitar was my greatest motivation. I was inspired by people who followed their dreams and made it. People like Kelly Clarkson, Christine Aguilera and Hayley Williams.

Lisaxcore: If you never got the part on Barney, how do you think your life would be like right now?

Demi Lovato: I think if it hadn’t been for Barney I would still be acting and singing but just may never have met Selena.

Alexismarie123:
What has been the hardest obstacle` you had to face during your rise to fame?

Demi Lovato: I have had to learn that no matter who you are there will always those who criticize you. But in the end you just have to be true to yourself and focus on the ones who love you. I

Ilsepla: What or who inspires you the most to reach every goal you have set for yourself and why?

Demi Lovato: I draw from the fans for inspiration. There are so many young people who inspire me, like Sarah who suffers from Eosinophilic disease. I met her at one of my meet & greets last year and now I try to work with APFED every chance I get. Then there’s Austen who I met thru Make-A-Wish Foundation who came up on stage with me. There’s so many more to name but I am out on tour meeting them every day, they are my inspiration because if they can dream big so can I.

Gibsythegypsy: How do you plan to help girls who have been bullied?

Demi Lovato: I'd really like to put all my thoughts and advice into a book to share with my fans.

Mykspace60902: What is music to you? What I mean is, is it that burning passion you feel pervading your entire body as you eloquently release those oh-so exquisite notes and stand before millions of people while the ground is vibrating beneath your feet and your heart is pumping. Or, is it more intimate like when you're alone ensconced by self-produced melodies with the scent of lyrics thick in the air?

Demi Lovato: That's an awesome question, you sound like a writer. It would have to be both, on stage and in my room where it's quite and I'm alone and lyrics come so easily to me. Then on stage is where I get the excitement of sharing those lyrics with fans.

Larissaxoxo: What is she most proud of accomplishing in her career?

Demi Lovato: My new album “Here We Go Again” .

Okay, so now the only the reason I like her-ish is because Hayley Williams inspired her.

(: rofl.

Is it funny that her album is titled "Here We Go Again" and that's also the title of a Paramore song?
I find too many similarities between Hayley and Demi that it makes me wonder......

Hayley is one of my role models though.... and Lacey Mosley.

in the last picture it looks like a shirt and vest that hayley wore in that picture where she like "wtf?" that is used as the weightless banner. you know what i'm talking about. aha.
jennylin: 08/12/2009 1:30 AM
I just find her to be a little too wannabe Hayley. I don't mean anything bad and I don't want to sound all immature and shit, but there's a lot of similarities between them. It just annoys me sometimes. There's also something about her that makes me think she isn't all that innocent. Anyways, I'm done, I don't mean to hate. I just hope she doesn't end up as a poser and wannabe.
adriennesmission: 08/12/2009 1:37 AM
Everyone has their similarities. Because they dress kinda a like, and Demi's admitted that Hayley's a role model she's ultimately a wannabe; right? Individuality is a pretty little virtue. People should start to realise that. Nice answers from Demi.
xcollapsingcities: 08/12/2009 1:55 AM
Man, I totally love Demi. I think she has a sort of realness about her. And boy does she have some pipes.
xxxpsxxx: 08/12/2009 2:45 AM
I think that Selena and Demi are the real thing for many reasons...its just their 'luck' that they became famous so soon and thats why ppl find it hard to believe that their talent is real

she just stole her album name from paramores song 'here we go agian'

its cool though that Hayley is her role model

cuz Hayley is mine aswell

hayley is a lot of peoples' role model, guys. i have a little giggle at the "here we go again" joke, but that's a pretty common phrase, and guys, paramore didn't copyright it so she never actually "stole" it. i'm not a huge fan of demi, and i do like to poke a little fun at her at times, but i think she's a hell of a lot more of the real thing than, let's say, people like miley. she and selena are on the right path - they just managed to land a channel with a bit of a bad rap, unfortunately.
elise: 08/12/2009 7:35 AM
It's cool that Hayley is her inspiration and everything, but it honestly shows way too much. Just cause I love Hayley Williams doesn't mean I go out and buy red pants for my band so they look like Paramore. And I didn't write a song called Here We Go Again after I met her. Really, just make up your own shit. It's funner to be original.
amymarissa: 08/12/2009 8:22 AM
I think it's awesome that she's inspired by these women. Thank goodness she actually has some respect for herself. I think she'll go far. Even though she's from Disney, she's not the same as the others(Miley, Selena) and most likely will have a strong career in the biz after 20.

Well, she twittered before and said she's naming the album "Here We Go Again" because it's her favorite Paramore song. So I guess it's kind of a tribute, kind of thing? But I totally agree.
