KISS In Concert - Inglewood, CA

KISS frontman Paul Stanley says he's been rewatching Demi Lovato's simple yet emotional Grammy's performance because he was so blown away by it.

Lovato has performed at the Grammys before, but Sunday's show marked the beginning of a comeback for the 27-year-old who is about a year-and-a-half removed from a near-fatal drug overdose.

Lovato's new song, "Anyone," was presented with just her voice and piano accompaniment — in stark contrast to the bombast of many of the other performances that evening. Stanley joins a chorus of famous musicians applauding Lovato.

"Rewatching the Grammys and once again blown away that the most powerful spectacle of the evening was a woman standing at a piano baring her soul and struggles while reaching amazing heights with her lyrics and melody," Stanley wrote via Twitter on Wednesday. "Demi Lovato... WOW!"

After getting overwhelmed at first, Lovato shed a single tear and restarted the song, delivering a stirring performance that brought the Grammys audience to its feet.

Lovato has described the song as a "cry for help," noting that it was written at a time when she felt "okay, but clearly wasn't."
