Another great song from the amazing Demi Lovato! Really up-beat and catchy!
Had to pitch up the audio to avoid any copyright issues.

i saw that on a review, is that allowed? and we're able to monetize it? while they music is playing?

well. that is a tricky one to answer. most music do not want people to upload. but there some music you can upload without copyright mark. see your freedom, there is a big list music you can use that will not get you a mark and plus can be monetize. but i am sure there is rule on it. if i recall right, you can use it as blog. not sure on product reviews. someone can help[ you on rule. i just give you link where you can see list on music that freedom can use. any music mark freedom is ok. http://positionmusic.com/

Ya, it's not something you should do if you value your channel. As @Hail Kira has pointed out, it only bypasses the automated detecting system. In other words, it's a loop hole. Besides that, it's still copyright infringement regardless. I would imagine your channel wouldn't even get a warning and just be shut down because you purposefully tried to get passed their systems.

i agree with everyone here. dont try it your self. system id will pick it up. it can take 1sc to lock on. it may take 1yr. how i know this. i use a song that from audio swap. it never got flag for 1yr. youtube system pick it up after 1 yr. video remind up and was limited on what place can see it. i was lucky it was only audio swap. if that been any other music. my channel will have been done by now. be smart and dont try it!!!

In one word: Don't.

In 36 Words: It is against the YouTube terms of service to modify music to trick or avoid the copyright recognition system. By doing so you put your channel at risk of being completely closed due to copyright violations.

Do NOT do that!

It's still copyrighted material & trying to bypass that and make you money of it can result you in losing your channel forever & not being allowed to make more channels! (Basically banning you from Youtube forever)

So please be careful with your channel! :)

how do those people earn anything when all they're doing are reviews, such as music, or shows?
I've never heard of anyone reviewing music... but if you want to do that there are lots of music options you can you in various freedom music catalogues.
Reviewing shows is tricky... I wouldn't use any footage, you may be able to get away with screen shots of parts you want to talk about though... but video clips can get you in trouble sometimes
