Demi Lovato Covers Lil Wayne's 'How To Love' (VIDEO)

This young lady did a nice job with this song!! Here's Demi Lovato covering Lil Wayne's song, How To Love!'

From MTV:

Demi Lovato Covers Lil Wayne's 'How To Love' (VIDEO)
Posted 16 hrs ago by Jenna Hally Rubenstein in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Calling all Lovatics -- prepare to have your mind BLOWN. Our girl Demi Lovato recently stopped by VH1's Top 20 Live to perform a few songs from her album Unbroken. But in between hits from her current catalog, Demi took a little detour to Rapville via her unexpected cover of Lil Wayne's "How To Love." Looking chill in a long boho maxi dress and black hat, Demi took a more acoustic and gentle approach to Lil Wayne's originally harder record.

Armed with a band and two "oohing" backup singers, Demi breathed new life into Weezy's "How To Love" with her soulful and R&B-tinged vocals. Girlfriend definitely had a little twinkle in her eye as she sang, "You had a lotta crooks tryna steal your heart/Couldn't never figure out/How to love/How to love." You can admit it, Demi -- you knew you were killin' it.

If you're wondering what inspired Demi to choose this somewhat unpredictable cover, our pals at MTV News have the 411: "I just love the way that Lil Wayne took a risk doing the song. I put a little spin on it, and I think that it fit with my platform and the message that I have for my fans." Demi goes on to gush, "I've never met [Lil Wayne] in my life so if I got to be on stage with him I would just die!" PAGING LIL WAYNE! Hook a pop star up, will ya?

A special message from Benita Charles Music

Dear Friends:

As many of you know, the East Coast is facing an unprecedented major hurricane (Hurricane Irene) that has crippled New York City and other cities and communities on the Eastern seaboard.

I'd like to send a special message to my East Coast Friends to let you know that my thoughts are prayers are with you and your families for a safe journey through the storm.


I'd also like to send a special thank you to all my family and friends who have called me to check on my status and my whereabouts. So far, the area that I live is okay and I am okay. I thank you for your thoughts, prayers and concerns. It really means a lot, especially at a time like this. It is a wonderful reminder that we are not alone!

Take care and I wish the best for everyone!

Sincerely,

Benita Charles Music
