Demi Borgir

I'd heard Demi Lovato was a metal fan, and backstage [...] she confesses her affection for the headbangers. "I had an ex-boyfriend who was a total metalhead," she explains. When asked, she ticks off some of her favorite metal bands: Glendale, Arizona's Job for a Cowboy (sample lyric: "Nauseated/She chokes on her own vomit emitted from her distended and desiccated throat") and Norway's Dimmu Borgir (classic album: Death Cult Armageddon).

"I don't want kids to listen to Job for a Cowboy," Lovato says cautiously. "But there is a certain uniqueness to metal music. When someone comes over to a mike and screams — I can't do that. I listen to pop music and I'm like, 'OK, I get it' — that doesn't fascinate me. What fascinates me is metal."

For a second, Lovato looks nervous, as if she's said a terrible thing that will soon have her waiting tables at a Dallas-area Applebee's. She wonders if she should have mentioned the bands at all. "I think [Disney Channel president] Gary Marsh would kill me."

Maybe. But I think it makes her sound 15, and totally awesome.
