Singer/songwriter and actress Demi Lovato is arguably one of the top performers in the entertainment industry today. Along with being a Grammy-nominated singer, Lovato is also familiar to television viewers, appearing in such shows as Glee, as well as serving as a judge on the music competition series The X Factor.

As a teen actress, Lovato starred in Disney Channel's successful original movie franchise Camp Rock in the late 2000s. In this 2009 video, a then 17-year old Lovato talked about her preference for music over acting.
