Not really, so many songs in the 2010s started inserting random dubstep in their tracks that it really doesn’t set it apart from other pop songs of our time
They probably thought it fit better. And it's generally frowned upon to have repeating parts (pre-chorus/chorus/post-chorus) significantly change because it becomes harder to remember. Is this the first chorus? The third chorus? It's easier if it's just "The chorus." Legs & Heels / Nails & Perfume vs. Nails & Heels / Nails & Perfume
I adore the final version of the song but I think they should’ve had an extended version with the dubstep on the album as a deluxe track! That would’ve been sick!
One of the best demo versions for song that I've heard thus far! I personally prefer Demi's voice, as it is in my opinion richer, stylistically versatile and more powerful. Plus my favorite part of the song is that very high note Demi added in the last hook.
Nikki wrote this by herself & did a great job, Mitch only produced it, hence he was listed as a songwriter, she did not want to use it because by the time she was ready to record her album it was 2 years later, this was song was shopped around and Demi picked it up, they clearly used some of Nikki's vocals on Demi's like in the chorus, that electronic part at 0:08 and the big note at 2:27 and the whole bridge too. Anyway, they both win, Demi gets a big hit and Nikki gets tons of money for the songwriting credit
OKzs The big note in the official version is sang by Demi for sure!!! They are both very talented but there’s no reason Demi would put a different vocalist’s high note!
yeah it just needed to be properly mixed and mastered and then it's a SMASH HIT. Can't believe she really gave this song away, this is her biggest hit.
Something to remember...there is a reason they call it a demo...while Nikki's version sounds like it is finished, (because she is a vocal master and everything has a decent balance) it is not. This was made to be enough to get the point across to the record company, which they weren't interested in for Nikki, because they wanted to go a different direction. Obviously, since the record company wasn't wanting to get behind it, Nikki's work stopped there to focus on other songs. No improvements or changes made to her version mixing or vocally, because at this point the song was dead. As the rumors are floating around say, (which are 100% true) Nikki started from scratch writing the song, and quite a bit of the lyrics (most in fact) we hers, and of course all of the vocal parts. When Demi heard the song and took it over for her album, she took it to the next level because it was already to go and she as an artist has a lot of power in the industry. She is a known artist who picked a song they wanted to do, the label of course approved (because they knew the song would be a hit), it's a done deal. (Note ,that this doesn't work for artists in the developmental stage as Nikki was) During Demi's taking over the track, she kept all of Nikki's Background vocals, added her own lead parts as well as some of her own BG vocals (like the higher notes that everyone keeps talking about that Nikki could easily have done), changed a few words, cut out the dub step part, etc. All in all though, this song says a lot about who Nikki is, and that makes it her song not matter what, because that is her soul for everyone see, well, hear.
Demi writes most of her songs, this was one of the exceptions. She didn't change the song's structure drastically because she thought it wouldn't be respectful to the original songwriter.
i've always loved demi's singing and this song in general but after hearing this, omg wow this should've been released as nikki's song and stayed just like that!!
*I get what u mean, but I don't think it's an "extra layer"...i think Demi just took the last note up higher than Nikki did* Nikki went: "flaaAaaAaaames" ...and Demi went:"flaaAaaAaaAAMES!" ...hopefully that makes sense 😅
Demi may have a larger range, but it terms of vocal control, Nikki has her beat. Go watch Nikki live and go watch Demi live. However, Demi does make the sing with her riffing.
i guess she does get a bit shouty at certain live performance but i dont think heart attack studio is one of them, her belts sounds full and resonant to me. what i dislike about her is she lowers her lyrnx too much for my taste. th-cam.com/video/yxkOvo-Miyc/w-d-xo.html this is one of her best mixed note. now that i think about it i get your point, its a preference thing i suppose, demi could be considered more shouty compared nikki i guess :D but still that doesnt mean demi shouts, its just the lower lyrnx and big open sound kinda of technique
Demi should keep the instrumental like this, is a lot more catchy and attractive though. In all the interviews, she said she was intending to do less electronic music and so... So what Neon Lights is doing on the record girl? You're totally wrong.
i love this version because it's actually the original. Demi does it justice for sure,but this is Nikki's song. look it up if you don't believe me. haha. it's beautifully sung & written. & quite honestly,they sound pretty similar. don't diss the person who made it because then it wouldn't be what it is now.
you're right, I'm doing research about this song and Nikki was the original and wrote it herself but they didn't want to publish it but then Demi helped changing some lyrics and then published the song, this song is Nikki's
Mitch and Nikki did an excellent job on writing the song and Nikki did a VERY good job on laying out the vocals but thankfully Demi came and not only edited the lyrics abit but I'm mostly thankful for the vocal arrangement she did on the 3rd verse with the overlapping of the three octaves she displayed on the track. Clearly I would have liked it if this was Nikki's but I'm so happy Demi got her. Best song of her career AND the added notes Demi sang made it so much better. Phew. Love Demi

I love the sound of lower notes and the chorus better than Demi’s, but the latter’s version has a voice made for reaching those high notes in the post-bridge.
O: It's crazy how a few changes can make the final version sound like a cover to the demo. In the demo it sounds natural for her to be reaching such high notes, while the final one sounds out of place when you have comparison to this. As well, this I think the first song that I have ever liked that have vocals and dubstep and dubstep empowers the voice. Not only that it was used as a medium to detail the complexity of the situation wtf?
why didn't they keep the dubstep, 12-year-old me would have rocked out to that
Wow I did not expect to see you here. Hello my melancholic monotone king

This version has a dubstep part, which makes it more unique.
yeah, this version is less repetetive and more creative, to be honest
Eclesy's Galaxy Completely disagree, it's worse. It uses the same chorus loop for the Pre chorus. Making the chorus less of a chorus, it's repetitive.
W R Yea the pre-chorus needs to be tuned down
the dubstep part sounds generic af glad Demi removed it
Not really, so many songs in the 2010s started inserting random dubstep in their tracks that it really doesn’t set it apart from other pop songs of our time

Painted nails sound more catty though. And more stereotypical.

I just love that chorus of this version! (beats and effects) :D

This sounds like the final version instead of demo. It sounds so clean. I love it
yeah it just needed to be properly mixed and mastered and then it's a SMASH HIT. Can't believe she really gave this song away, this is her biggest hit.

just to clarify, demi sang all the bg and harmonies herself in her version. proof is the videos on youtube showcasing filtered vocals
When the dubstep came out, i be like " OMG !"
The *“shave my legs”* part was so unexpected and amazing!
This demo could totally pass off as a remix of Demi’s LFNKSNFKNSF
Holly shit this demo sounds as good as the actual song.
So basicly she did all the work for Demi, even layed down runs.....
That's how it generally works, singers who don't write their own stuff basically just cover songs that are given to them
Yes, some songs they write and some they buy

Cute
Chris Pretorius it was obviously demi in her version, are you dumb?
Jacob Smollet they clearly kept nikki’s backing vocals.
Well, they sound similar, but not the same. Demi sang the part, but kept Nikki's as a background vocal.
Nikki did write the song but Demi changed a few lyrics and got the dubstep break edited out
I like the dubstep drop but it feels oddly timed where as the final studio version feels more smooth and organized.
2:32 omg the dance break. i want to put that dance break into Demi's version. it will sounds like award show performance of her 😭💕
It’s crazy how these demos sound so much like the final fingers. Like it makes sense why they do it but still
I like Demi but I think this sounds much lil bit better than Demi’s version. It sounds natural and not like she’s screaming.

i dont think they sound the same. Demi's voice is more metallic.
