NBC Censors Demi Lovato's 'Vote' Message at the Billboard Music Awards

[SouthernCal_Dem]

Demi Lovato performed her new protest single Commander in Chief at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, but NBC seemingly censored her message to “vote” — cutting it out of the footage that aired on television.

According to TMZ, at the end of Lovato’s performance, the word “vote” was displayed across each board on the stage, but that message was gone when the performance aired on TV, and a close up of Lovato’s face was used instead.

Demi Lovato performed her new song with a message for viewers to "VOTE" ... but when it aired on NBC ... the network muzzled her message.

Lovato took the stage Wednesday for a moving rendition of her song "Commander in Chief," a song that takes direct aim at President Trump. We've obtained footage of Demi's performance -- the way she wanted it to air and it was originally recorded -- and at the end the word "VOTE" is very clearly displayed across the video board on the stage.

That final message was gone when the show aired on TV. In its place -- a close-up of Demi at the piano.

Sources say the network pulled the plug on the "VOTE" message because the song itself was a slam on Trump and the "VOTE" message was a call to vote against him.
