The target audience for Camp Rock and Sonny with a Chance were young teenagers and her star image was aligned with her target fan age from the start. In Camp Rock Demi is portrayed as innocent and shy, wearing modest clothing and scared to talk to boys. This is the beginning of one of her most prolific star images as an innocent good girl fitting into middle class American Values (Giroux and Pollock, 2010). ]]> 2020-02-20 11:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/447958243 ID201316959 https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/449434359 Disney Star and Breakthrough]]> 2020-02-24 13:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/449434359 ID201316959 https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/449435902 At 16, Demi was compared to fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus to highlight her rising fame and to detail her relationship with Joe Jonas which gained excessive media attention.  The media concentrated on her figure in the news article, making her seem much older than sixteen and different from the Disney star seen on TV. This is an inconsistency in her image, seen wearing a bikini and represented as talking to boys takes Demi away from the innocent side she is made to portray and more of a real teenage girl. ]]> 2020-02-24 13:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/449435902 ID201316959 https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/450777707 After the success of the Camp Rock sound track, of which Demi sang four of the songs, she signed to Hollywood Records which is owned by Disney Music Group.

This is certainly true for Demi Lovato, her whole star image was created by Disney to be used as a commodity and this can be seen in the outfits Demi wears, the lack of makeup and her shy persona while acting. ]]> 2020-03-29 13:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/480462250 ID201316959 https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/480484279 The clothes that Demi has to wear in Sonny with a Chance again represents the innocence that Disney portrays in all their merchandise, to acumilate sales. Fans begin to obsess over Demi as an actor but also the values she represents and the Disney persona as a whole, they are made to believe Demi chooses to wear modest clothing, little makeup when in fact this has all been carefully chosen for her. By wanting to be like Demi, they are buying into the Disney commodity. ]]> 2020-03-29 14:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/480484279 ID201316959 https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/481130372 Demi, being an international popstar has a lot of fans who like to draw her to get her attention and be a part of a wide fan group. In this instance Demi caused an argument when she drew her a lot thinner than she is and commented on how her boobs did not look like that. By going against this one fan she helped others to realise that this is not an accurate representation of her body and not all women have to conform to it. However this is an abnormality in her star image as it is one of the first times Demi has had trouble with her fans, but it conforms to her authenticity as a mental health activist and promoting body confidence. ]]> 2020-03-30 00:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/481130372 ID201316959 https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/481131358 Demi's fan group call themselves Lovatics, it is a popular hashtag used by fans on twitter to get attention from other fans around the world and become more of a united fan base, sharing images and stories of the star.]]> 2020-03-30 00:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/481131358 ID201316959 https://padlet.com/ID201316959/iz6pzxim34lg/wish/482367022 The media began to discover a trend in the growing number of Disney stars who turned from innocent youths to troubled adults.
