My "Thing" For The Poppy Teens

So, I have a confession to make.  Approaching the downward slope of my 20's, I am still always flurried by the teeny, Disney, bubblegum pop stars.  (I'm pretty sure I will be one of those 40 year old moms at the concert dancing harder than her kids!) You know the ones I'm talking about.  There's the Beibs, oh man I do love me some Justin Bieber.  And the newer and ever increasingly popular One Direction.  I'm liking the sound of them and they are British, added bonus.  On the girl's side I simply adore Miss Taylor Swift.  How could anyone not?  She has talent and charm shooting out of her phalanges.  Her good friend Selena Gomez, also charismatic and talented to boot.  One lady who I have liked from her start and I have recently gained new respect and love for is Demi Lovato.  At 19 she has publicly battled an eating disorder, self-mutilation (cutting) and a host of other splinter problems that stem off of those two.  Her newest album, I feel, is beautiful.  For someone who has experienced some similar feelings I can just hear the emotion dripping from her voice in many of the songs.  It is so pure and genuine.  She seems to have a very strong motivation behind her healing, not only for herself but she wants to be a positive person for young girls to look up to.  I will be keeping my eyes and ears out for her...she is definitely one of my new favs :)
