Demi Lovato’s first music video has been released for her song Get Back (the song also entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #43 this week). I didn’t really like the song Get Back at first though it’s slowly growing me, I still don’t think it’s a great song but it’s not that bad either.

This video however doesn’t make the song any better. There’s nothing wrong with simple straightforward music videos but this one is just boring. It’s a stage set up somewhere close to Brooklyn Bridge in New York and she performs there (without a crowd). Now there’s nothing wrong with Demi’s voice but there’s still one thing she lacks; stage presence. She’s still relatively new at performing so that skill can grow in the future but for the video I think it would have been a better choice to do a more themed imaginative music video.

She tries to be somewhat of a rocker chick in the video but just doesn’t sell me on it. I don’t get why this video is set in New York anyway, one of the objections I had with the song Get Back is that it seemed like it wasn’t really personal. The same is true for the surroundings, Demi is from Texas so why would she shoot a video in New York? That might seems like an odd argument but it’s one of the many factors that makes the video lack in personality. This could be the music video for any song really, doesn’t matter who would appear in it.

I’m still hoping that the rest of her album Don’t Forget which releases on September 23rd will have a lot more personality than the first song and video.
