It's not breaking news that Demi has been and is struggling with her addictions, but regardless of her personal life struggles, or your opinion on them, her talent is irrefutable. To be fair, it took me a long time to realize the talent this woman has, let alone the skills she has honed in her years as a performer. I am glad she is being honest with herself and the world about her struggles because the idea of fame and a public image is too crazy to think about. It is this honesty that can also be heard in her voice in the following songs listed below.

Each one is unique, but they are the same in that they authentically showcase her true talent and passion in her work, and in music in general. I can't promise this is an objective compilation of songs. You can even take this as a recommendation to start really getting into Demi's music, starting with these. The order is not, particularly, of actual preference.
