We love it when artists pull out unexpected covers, and Demi Lovato surprised concertgoers in New Jersey when she recently covered Chris Brown’s “Turn Up The Music.”

.
Say what you will about the song choice, but the X Factor judge looked and sounded stellar and she lead the crowd in a huge sing-along. If you missed Lovato’s recent shows, she’s back at X Factor auditions in Rhode Island today but we’re sure she’ll be back on the road again soon.
.
Admittedly, we do think that it is a little strange for a pop star to cover another artist’s hit live, but it’s obvious that Lovato is a fan of Brown’s music. She manages to make the song her own, so we can’t really criticize her. Plus, she’s had a rough couple of years, so let’s cut her some slack.
