It's fine Mathew you did it in the end and sometime in the future can you please do a part two to tinkerbell and react to the songs great divide and strange sight but I am not forcing or rushing you.
Just to clarify, it's not that people necessarily hate Victoria's voice. They just hate that the show didn't give the others as much of a chance to sing. Unfortunately, that can turn to hating her for something she had no control over.
Honestly, that complaint has always been pretty ridiculous to me. I mean, wasn't the show kind of literally named after her? Of course she's gonna be a huge focus
Lots of people have probably addressed the dislike of Tori's character singing the most already. But if people actually watched the show it kind of explains why more characters don't sing songs(in a way of not saying it). Tori and Andre literally attend the school for singing as their major. Beck and Jade are there for acting, Cat does special effects makeup, and I forget what Robbies was.
Plus Victoria literally was the only ones to not rlly be as big as Ariana and Leon Thomson is currently rising more and Elizabeth is an actress still adored
Wait, where is that discussed? I don't remember Jade being there for acting and Cat for sfx...Jade does re-auditions with a acting performance but cat does a whole musical
I agree w/ this logic to an extent because the show is very inconsistent when it comes to which characters majors in which major, like in the crossover episode we clearly can hear cat have a amazing voice yet she supposedly to be a major in special effects/makeup or the episode where jade sings to beck during their breakup. these moment make you want to hear their voices more because they have already shown they are great vocalist that are better then or equal tori’s . also, it doesn’t help the fact that the show doesn’t really highlight their major that much. we only see them in *one* class which is acting & because of this, I just completely forgot they all had different majors 😭
I always took “Best Friend’s Brother” to be sort of equivalent to “Stacy’s Mom”. The singer isn’t actually talking to Stacy/Best Friend, but instead just getting their feelings out through song, ideally without the people in question finding out.
to clarify tori isn't actually singing about her best friend's brother. her best friend is probably andre and he doesn't have any siblings. actually only cat has a brother and 1. she's not tori's best friend i'd say and 2. her brother is a freak that is an off screen running joke so no one has a crush on him
@@winxclubflora8446 cat's brother did make an appearance !! he was on henry danger, played by frankie grande (which is hilarious). he was named frankini and was a supervillain, whos sidekick was none other than goomer from sam & cat. frankini mentions in the show that "goomer used to hang out with my sister and her friend", which is a hint to sam & cat. not only that, but frankie himself said that frankini is cat's brother haha
I just had the aggressive flashback of the freaking The Slap website they had for the show and it literally has a comment from "Cat" saying "Tori just sang this song, but it's not about my brother." Or something along those lines.
I always lowkey had the headcanon that Cat's brother was Crazy Steve from Drake and Josh. I know it's not true, but it makes so much sense if you don't think too hard about it.
i do believe avan jogia (who plays beck, the guy in finally falling) didn't want to do a lot of singing, this is one of the few times he gets a singing line. his character is mainly at the performing arts school for acting, i think.
Ding ding ding, right answer! All of the characters actually have a different area of study. Beck is acting, Jade is acting/directing/film (it kinda slides around), Andre is songwriting and producing, Cat is a variety of things from makeup and costume design to acting and performing, and Robbie is comedy and backstage work. Tori was the only one with a main focus on music
You're right! Victoria has a great voice. She's just one of those celebrities where it's popular to hate on them for some reason even though she's literally so talented and unproblematic. Never understood the hate she got back then and still don't. Seems like more people are starting to appreciate her now though at least.
Since you want to hear more of André, I suggest 365 Days, Countdown and the Make It Shine Remix. Sadly, he didn’t get any solos even though one was well deserved. Also, I know you’d love It’s Not Christmas Without You. Those harmonies are magical!
songs to do (if you haven't done them yet) - Beggin' on Your Knees (Tori solo) - LA Boyz (Tori and Cat (ariana)) - Countdown (Andre and Tori) - Make it Shine Remix (Andre and Tori) - Make it in America (Tori solo) - You're the Reason (Tori solo) (I listened to it about 5 years ago and its still stuck in my head)
Yesss!!! Also to add: 365 (Tori and Andre) Song to You (Tori and Andre) It's Not Christmas Without You (Tori, Jade and Cat (Ariana)) Shut Up and Dance (Victorious cast)
But my question is who didn't know about these shows 😱🥺 like I mean I kinda feel like I did nothing but watching TV 😂 but I wasn't. Still I can't imagine someone around our age who doesn't know it or grew up with it 🥺😮
I mean that's honestly not a bad episode to go into cold. There are a few things that might be confusing to a newbie (like Trina being A LOT in this episode, esp with the kids) or some inside jokes a newbie wouldn't understand (like Shelby Marx), but because most of it takes place in a new setting for both casts and is centered around a plot away from their usual plots, you don't need to have a ton of knowledge about the shows.
In "Freak The Freak Out" song, Tori have disquise because Cat and Jade make a bet those two girls in the other table and Tori was the only one they didn't know. Those two girls chose Tori to sing that song. They didn't know she sing that well. Those two girls lose the bet and they have to take care of Tori's sister Trina, after the dentist.
From what I remember, Kat and Jade were banned from the building because they sang better than 2 specific girls who were the daughters of the owner. The agreement was that the daughters could pick anyone in the building to sing in a competition against them, but the people in the audience were the voters instead of the dad. I specifically remember that, when the 2 girls picked Tori in disguise, Jade (or the other girl who was part of the main cast) said "You don't want to pick her" and the daughters said "You said we could pick ANYONE"
@@adambrown7670 I know! It was just that thing that had to be watched. I remember recording it every time it was on too! So I could watch it later as well. It was just my favourite!
Victoria has a great voice! People were upset that she was so heavily focused on when other members in the cast were amazing as well. Past her being the MC Basically what you noticed here 7:33
@@BAChambers-235 also jade robbie and andre did have solo and duets in the show, cat only had duets but she still got to flex her vocal range at the most random moments so I think it is fair.
@rainbowsubs1711 Show was about her yes. BUT it's set at a preforming arts school there is 0 reason not to use the others talents. Which didn't happen nearly enough.
@rainbowsubs1711 it doesnt justify the hate she got and i think it was largely unfair. But my experience watching the show, i did get frustrated that the characters who were obviously great singers hardly got a chance to sing. I know and knew Victoria was the main character and im not saying she shouldnt have been, but it wouldn't have hurt the show to give the other characters more chances. But then again if that did happen, people probably still wouldve hated her for being the main character, idk. Its kinda common for fans to turn against the main character when you make side characters really likeable, ive seen it in other shows too.
I'd like to point out the best friend's brother song wasn't related to the show or episode... i'm pretty sure the song itself is meant to exist seperately and probably is more of a riff on Stacey's mom, you aren't supposed to assume someone was crushing so hard on their friend's brother that they wrote the song, so much as someone thought it would be fun to write a song about a hypothetical person crushing on her best friend's brother...
In the episode where 18:10 is from, Cat and Jade sang Give it Up in a karaoke contest, but they lost to the two girls who’s table Tori jumped on. The girls were “untalented” but they won bc their dad owned the place. Jade and Cat got banned, so they came back and challenged the girls to another contest, but the winner would be picked by the audience. They made Tori wear in a disguise to trick the girls into picking her bc she looked like an awkward “ugly” nerd.
So, “Freak the Freak Out” is the second song in that episode. The context is that the 2 mean girls got to win the contest that day when Cat and Jade sing because one of their dad’s is the owner. Cat and Jade later challenged them to a contest where the audience got to decide between the 2 mean girls and another of their choosing. They chose a disguised Tori, thinking they would win easily. This was set up by Jade, Cat, and Tori so they could get revenge.
It’s really tough being a Victoria Justice fan back then. I feel like watching someone else actually praise & appreciate her talents is oddly healing some parts of my inner child.
Hear me out, Matthew, if you want to listen to more great songs from another show I can't stress enough that you should check out the music from "Austin and Ally", the songs are great, Laura and Ross' voices are awesome, you'll love the production of the music and I can promise you that you would have a great time! 💜💜💜
The guy who had the tires and the gas canister is their acting teacher sikowitz and he is one of the best characters he just always does the most random stuff you should do a video reacting to out of context victorious because I bet there would be a lot of him.
Same I absolutely loved her since I was a little kid and always looked up to her. I never get the hate like for what. I just don't get it. Why do people always Need to hate someone or something as if they haven't better stuff to do 😭
@@The_froggy_one well it's basically a show about her so it's a bit obvious that she shines most of the time. But yeah if the others would have more time to sing it would be great because all of them are amazing 💗
Just you know, most of these songs have longer versions (usually with a second a verse) available on streaming platforms, but they shortened them in the episodes to save time ALSO, Tori, Jade, and Cat have a song together in the Christmas special called “It’s not Christmas Without You”
I'd once again like to recommend my favouritest song 'Okay' which is just Andre and Jade singing together and I love those two the most. Especially Jade, the reason for so many of our young lesbian awakenings.
So Matt Bennett, the actor who plays Robbie in victorious, did these DJ events where he would only play Nickelodeon and Disney songs and you could just go and party to these songs, and I got to go to one of those events. At the event, he played Freak the freakout and I was so hyped I literally pulled off my wig like she did in the scene here and threw it. It is one of the highlights of my life because it took a lot of people off guard since they didn’t know I was wearing a wig and actually made Matt laugh
Exactlyyyy tori was actually my favourite character in the show she was kind and friendly. She is also one of my favourite actresses she didnt deserve the hate
I agree! None of this started until Ariana blew up and her fans chose to start going after Victoria just because they were on the same show and they didn’t get to see Ariana featured more. But also… the show was designed to feature Victoria as the main from the beginning 😅
@@Makberries yes exactly!!! People likely would have not noticed/cared if Ariana wasn’t as famous as she was. They’d probably just say “cats voice was underused” and leave it there
@@Makberries exactlyyyy they are just toxiccc. Victoria is awesome and didnt deserve all the hate.she was the main character,kind and friendly and had a great voice for singing. So there is no reason for hate
Not to mention people with hardons for Liz Gillies. Like Jade was just an awful person 90% of the time, but because she's 'hot', I've seen so many fangirls/boys saying JADE should have been the main character.
7:35 honestly I wish they’ would’ve let Beck sing more. His voice is so good and that was literally the only time you actually hear his voice when he singing.
@@apollokickz oh goodness, just seeing this now. But oh, that’s a new fact I’ve never heard before. But I suppose that makes sense. Perhaps he didn’t want to take away from the show with his gorgeous voice lol. Honestly though it’s sad that he didn’t want to sing more.
we stan Mathew for actually listening to the viewers and giving us more Victorious reactions AND for loving Victoria Justice’s voice cause it‘s for sure not as appreciated as the others!!
Here are some more songs from Victorious that I recommend that are amazing bangers : Swell , Cheer me up, shut up & dance, It’s not Christmas without you, let it shine remix, favorite food, faster than boyz, sad news songs, bad boys, take a hint, 365 days, countdown, & lastly you’re the reason 🙌😁🎶🔥
I think people praise Victoria less because there was the perception that she was "full of herself" or had too much focus in the show. Tbf I dont know anything about her outside of Victorious but its always seemed a bit like hater energy to me, she really does have an amazing voice!
There was none of that tho people were mad that Liz and ariana didn’t sing as much so they tried to find any way and any non existent reason to put down victoria
People should blame the Nick's producers, who tried to make a second Miley Cyrus out of Victoria and make money from her, and not Victoria, who, due to rumors and bullying, could not do anything, neither sing nor act after the show. She even dislikes all of her songs that she sang on the show because it was Tori Vega and not Victoria Justice.
Nickelodeon even created their own record label to make money from the songs sung on their shows. After Victorious, they wanted to release a full-length album with Victoria Justice but after the failure of Gold and Shake they scrapped everything with Victoria
CONTEXT FOR EACH SONG LEAVE IT ALL TO SHINE: Victorious and ICarly crossover, they sang a mash up of their theme songs at the end. FINALLY FALLING: Cat(red head) needed tori to be her model from her special effects class, she used gorilla glue on her Face instead of the regular glue, she did it because she’s dumb, but their is a play on her school where she has to be the pretty main character, this play is important because the famous writer of the play is coming to see it, so she needs to perform with the makeup in while cat goes and gets the glue remover. HERE IS TO US: just tori and Andre singing in a song for a school Dance, but the reason they are singing this song is because Cat and Robbie (red head and afro) are now officially dating. BEST FRIENDS BROTHER: just a song for the school prom doesn’t mean anything it’s just a song. FREAK THE FREAK OUT: Cat and Jade (red head and emo) perform a song (the one you saw in the first video) against theses two girls, the girls do horrible but they win anyway because their father owns the restaurant. Jade and cat get banned from the restaurant, but they make a deal with the girls that anyone in the audience can sing better then them and the girls can choose who they sing against, little do they know that cat and Jade have tori disguised in a nerd outfit to trick them, the girls choose tori in disguise, she performs the song, she dose amazing and they win so now cat and Jade are unbanned from the restaurant
i love how much you complimented and like victoria! she is so amazing. most people love "classic" pop voices that are more bright and high sounding, which is also a singing style i absolutely enjoy! but i love strong and dark voices just as much, like victoria's. she also, like you noticed in this video, really is super versatile! in her newest songs she sounds so different, singing in a softer falsetto.
I used to love music-based shows when I was younger like Victorious, Hannah Montana and especially Austin & Ally on the Disney channel. Can you please do that one next? It's the show where Ross Lynch from Teen Beach movie first got famous on and it has SO many bops including Steal Your Heart, I Think About You, Don't Look Down, Upside Down, Illusion, Stuck On You, Heard it On The Radio and so many more. I think you'd like it!
I cant wait for you to do more of these. There are still so many songs. I didnt realize how many songs they did on Victorious. Theres still 365 Days, Countdown, LA Boys, Shut Up and Dance, (It's Not) Christmas Without You, etc.
Your first victorious video was the first I saw of yours and I've watched every video since and working on all your past videos. Can't wait for what's to come!
I’ve always loved Victoria for many years, the hate she gets is so unnecessary and i wish people would take her seriously as an artist and stop making her just about her character from a nick show that’s 10 years old. She’s so insanely talented and it will forever infuriate me that she doesn’t get even half of the recognition she deserves simply because of fake drama and her clearly being so good an actress that people forget she’s a real person.
Thanks Mathew for acknowledging Victoria's beautiful voice. I know people love to hate on her for being the main character while "having the weakest voice" but she doesn't? I mean I don't think anyone on this show had a weak voice and yes Ariana is a great singer and all but her character wasn't supposed to be a singer so it's kinda normal that she doesn't sing much. People tend to hate on Victoria for really no reason because she's actually a kind person who didn't do anything to deserve this. But she really deserves people to accept that she's got talent and what makes me sad is how her singing career was "blocked" by all this hate because I would have loved to hear her voice in songs. So once again thanks for telling everyone "hey she sings well!" because it's true ! After finishing the video yeah I love how you became a Victoria fanboy because I definitly am a Victoria fangirl, her voice is incredible and her attitude is fantastic!
She’s disguised because Jade (Elizabeth Gillies) and Cat (Ariana Grande) performed in a karaoke competition and lost to two girls who had a trash performance but still won because they are the club owners daughters, they comeback a couple days later challenge them to another karaoke duel where the winner is chosen by the audience not the club owner but the two girls who sucked refuse to compete against them because they know they will lose so Jade says I bet any person in this place could beat you two and they purposefully had Tori in disguise too look crazy and nerdy so that the girls would pick her as their challenger and as you saw Tori showed them up big time.
We need more miraculous content, the show has a couple songs too! Listen to “The boy that i secretly love” , “Santa Clawz” and “The snap of my fingers “
The deal with people not liking victoria's voice is she has like- the most basic of the group in the show. ppl also generally are kinda iffy on her character which I'm guessing influences their like for her voice too. not me tho I just love her voice its so clear and pretty
for the next video: cheer me up, make it in America, Countdown, 365 days, faster than Boyz, bad boy!! THANK YOU FOR REACTING! I'm having so much fun and it's so nostalgic and it's so good to see that more people's actually like the things I was bullied for as a preteen hahaha ❤❤❤
Loved this reaction! You are awesome and such a mood. I totally understand your love for everyone's voices, they're amazing. Some more AMAZING songs from Victorious that I know you'll love: "Beggin on your Knees" "Give it Up" "It's not Christmas without You"
So. The old dude that’s dressed weird. His name is Sikowitz. He’s a teacher at Hollywood Arts. He’s that fun crazy teacher that people can talk to and he actually makes it fun to learn. I personally love him as a character
If it makes you feel better Best Friend's Brother was just a random song they sang for a showcase and had nothing to do with any Victorious plot points.
You NEED to do: Countdown (Andre leads, Tori backup) You're The Reason (Tori lead) It's Not Christmas Without You (Tori lead, Jade & Cat supporting, Andre feature) LA Boyz (Tori and Cat duet)
I LOVE listening to the full versions! Sometimes they don't, or maybe can't, fit it all in the episode and so cut some parts out. But they have music videos and their songs are on spotify too, and I love to jam out to them even now. Freak the Freak Out has a great ending (her voice is so pretty) and it makes me sad they don't put it in the show. But, I also kinda get it because it doesn't quite fit the victory feeling of beating the girls like the abrupt ending does... and I know we all loved them losing that bet lol
If you like listening to victorious I highly recommend Austin and ally there are so many incredible songs. my favourite childhood show and songs hands down 😇🥰
If you’re a fan of Victoria’s singing her and Leon’s duets always shine onscreen. Some duets of theirs you haven’t heard yet are Count Down, Faster Than Boys, and the Make it Shine Remix. If you want songs of just her there’s Your The Reason (slow and fast version), Bad Boys, Make it In America and Cheer me Up And if you want another song g with her and Ariana there is LA Boyz. 🙂👍
Why is no one mentioning LA Boyz? It's such an underrated song yet so good! Also Ariana sings in it as a duet with Victoria. Essentially, one of the guys' friends came to town from Canada and the girls all were paying attention to him instead of their guy friends so it is basically their apology.
I'm telling u right now u NEED to make a #4 Victorious songs because i know u would LOVE "it's not Christmas, without you" ft. Tori, cat & jade AND EVEN A LITTLE OF ANDRE PLS!!!
The problem is that the show set itself up as if Victoria was the only one who could sing, as if she was the end all be all, and gave about 90% of the songs to her with everyone else splitting the rest. And she does have a great voice, but it is by no means the strongest
12:40 that there is the main kids wacky teacher. He is almost always in bare feet in the classroom, and always wearing hippie clothes, but he’s hilarious and a very likeable character.
I want to thank you for appreciating Victoria, I definitely feel like people don't give her enough credit. Victoria is so talented and nice too. ( also I will never stop saying this when someone brings up victorious: Andre and Tori should have been the couple )
if you wanna hear more of andre singing listen to ‘countdown’ it has both leon thomas and victoria justice in the video clip and the audio clip is mainly leon
A song i ABSOLUTELY loved on the show and was terribly underated was "Countdown" its amazing. Also you should try listening to Victoria's solo song "Treat myself" it's a beautiful track!
Victorious songs are always bangers in my opinion even though there are a couple weird ones. The cross over song was EVERYTHING it melds so well it shocked me ❤
I wish you could listen to the fully version of the song Freak the Freak Out, because yes most of these songs are longer, just the episode versions are shorter. Don't know how you could get reactions out of them, maybe find a lyric version and check if you can find out that's longer. I'm only saying that because how the song ends in the full version is a fun listen.
An interesting 4th, if not 5th, wall breaking thought is that the actor the plays Andre in Victorious also played a character called Harper in iCarly when he was maybe 14 before Victorious was a thing. Also, Victoria Justice played a character called Shelby Marks in a special extended episode of iCarly; and they even give a nod to that episode/character in the crossover episode saying Tori kinda looks like the Shelby Marks chick Carly fought.
Freak The Freak Out is arguably the best song. Tori was dressed like that because those two snobby girls whose table she jumped on got to choose who would sing against them, so she made herself look geeky knowing they would pick her thinking she had no talent.
If you are looking for more songs to react to I recommend songs from the Scooby Doo movies. Just a few good ones I can think of are: Scooby Doo: Pirates Ahoy- “That’s the Way We Go” Scooby Doo: Pirates Ahoy- “Blow Ye Winds” Scooby Doo and The Cyber Chase- “Hello Cyberdream” Scooby doo and the Goblin King- “Goblin Oogie Boogie” Scooby doo on Zombie Island- “It’s Terror Time Again” Scooby doo and The Alien Invaders- “How Groovy” Scooby doo! Mystery Incorporated- “Trap of Love” Scooby doo and the Witch’s Ghost- “Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air” Scooby doo and the Witch’s Ghost- “I’m a Hex Girl”
The guy with the tires and gas canister is the crazy theater teacher, Mr Psychoitz. In one episode, he was giving out sausages and when he was asked what kind of meat it was, he laughed in their faces, making him look pretty sus.
I’m sorry freak the freak out took so long but it’s here 😭
If you do end up reacting to Victoria Justice's music, try Treat Myself and Stay.
But you didn't do the full version , that's the short one, there's a full music video of it
It's fine Mathew you did it in the end and sometime in the future can you please do a part two to tinkerbell and react to the songs great divide and strange sight but I am not forcing or rushing you.
Lmaoo ur forgiven xD
@amethyst352 oml the great divide is the best oneee
Just to clarify, it's not that people necessarily hate Victoria's voice. They just hate that the show didn't give the others as much of a chance to sing. Unfortunately, that can turn to hating her for something she had no control over.

No offense but that's a stupid excuse. It does not make any sense considering she plays the main character of the show.
which was always a super weird excuse
Lots of people have probably addressed the dislike of Tori's character singing the most already. But if people actually watched the show it kind of explains why more characters don't sing songs(in a way of not saying it). Tori and Andre literally attend the school for singing as their major. Beck and Jade are there for acting, Cat does special effects makeup, and I forget what Robbies was.
Plus Victoria literally was the only ones to not rlly be as big as Ariana and Leon Thomson is currently rising more and Elizabeth is an actress still adored
Robbie was for stand up comedy!
The guy who plays robbie is a dj now
Wait, where is that discussed? I don't remember Jade being there for acting and Cat for sfx...Jade does re-auditions with a acting performance but cat does a whole musical
I agree w/ this logic to an extent because the show is very inconsistent when it comes to which characters majors in which major, like in the crossover episode we clearly can hear cat have a amazing voice yet she supposedly to be a major in special effects/makeup or the episode where jade sings to beck during their breakup. these moment make you want to hear their voices more because they have already shown they are great vocalist that are better then or equal tori’s .
also, it doesn’t help the fact that the show doesn’t really highlight their major that much. we only see them in *one* class which is acting & because of this, I just completely forgot they all had different majors 😭
Tori and Andre chemistry is insane! and they sounds amazing together
I agree 100%. They always have the best songs imo
I always took “Best Friend’s Brother” to be sort of equivalent to “Stacy’s Mom”. The singer isn’t actually talking to Stacy/Best Friend, but instead just getting their feelings out through song, ideally without the people in question finding out.
Me too! It kinda reminds me of Stacey’s Brother by Mad Tsai!!
@@LeoTheDowlLove that there is also a really good Stacy's Dad song just to show the full decay of Stacy's family 😂
Seems Stacy's family have really really good genes and natural 20 charisma and tho loved Stacy got hit with the normal stick
I mean, if the best friend is in the crowd, she kinda is 😂
Or even Scotty doesn’t know? Similar vibes
to clarify tori isn't actually singing about her best friend's brother. her best friend is probably andre and he doesn't have any siblings. actually only cat has a brother and 1. she's not tori's best friend i'd say and 2. her brother is a freak that is an off screen running joke so no one has a crush on him
cat’s brother molested a horse and is a raging maniac 💀

i do believe avan jogia (who plays beck, the guy in finally falling) didn't want to do a lot of singing, this is one of the few times he gets a singing line. his character is mainly at the performing arts school for acting, i think.
Ding ding ding, right answer! All of the characters actually have a different area of study. Beck is acting, Jade is acting/directing/film (it kinda slides around), Andre is songwriting and producing, Cat is a variety of things from makeup and costume design to acting and performing, and Robbie is comedy and backstage work. Tori was the only one with a main focus on music
You're right! Victoria has a great voice. She's just one of those celebrities where it's popular to hate on them for some reason even though she's literally so talented and unproblematic. Never understood the hate she got back then and still don't. Seems like more people are starting to appreciate her now though at least.
I’m so glad that someone appreciates Victoria’s voice! People are always so mean to her and they drag her down to uplift the rest of the cast.

But my question is who didn't know about these shows 😱🥺 like I mean I kinda feel like I did nothing but watching TV 😂 but I wasn't. Still I can't imagine someone around our age who doesn't know it or grew up with it 🥺😮
BHAHAAHHA yesss
Omg yes, I immediately came looking for this comment
I mean that's honestly not a bad episode to go into cold. There are a few things that might be confusing to a newbie (like Trina being A LOT in this episode, esp with the kids) or some inside jokes a newbie wouldn't understand (like Shelby Marx), but because most of it takes place in a new setting for both casts and is centered around a plot away from their usual plots, you don't need to have a ton of knowledge about the shows.
In "Freak The Freak Out" song, Tori have disquise because Cat and Jade make a bet those two girls in the other table and Tori was the only one they didn't know. Those two girls chose Tori to sing that song. They didn't know she sing that well. Those two girls lose the bet and they have to take care of Tori's sister Trina, after the dentist.
From what I remember, Kat and Jade were banned from the building because they sang better than 2 specific girls who were the daughters of the owner. The agreement was that the daughters could pick anyone in the building to sing in a competition against them, but the people in the audience were the voters instead of the dad.
I specifically remember that, when the 2 girls picked Tori in disguise, Jade (or the other girl who was part of the main cast) said "You don't want to pick her" and the daughters said "You said we could pick ANYONE"
This crossover was the childhood equivalent to Avengers Assemble!!!
I was *so* excited and I watched it every time it was on TV. I was absolutely obsessed with it!! Haha
@@Dazzlefaeyou couldn’t help but watch it more than once. it was on nick constantly and i watched it every time😂😂😂
@@adambrown7670 I know! It was just that thing that had to be watched. I remember recording it every time it was on too! So I could watch it later as well. It was just my favourite!
Victoria has a great voice! People were upset that she was so heavily focused on when other members in the cast were amazing as well. Past her being the MC
Basically what you noticed here 7:33
that is still a weird complain though considering the show was made for her.
@@rainbowsubs2 true. People definitely took it too far
@@BAChambers-235 also jade robbie and andre did have solo and duets in the show, cat only had duets but she still got to flex her vocal range at the most random moments so I think it is fair.
@rainbowsubs1711 Show was about her yes. BUT it's set at a preforming arts school there is 0 reason not to use the others talents. Which didn't happen nearly enough.
@rainbowsubs1711 it doesnt justify the hate she got and i think it was largely unfair. But my experience watching the show, i did get frustrated that the characters who were obviously great singers hardly got a chance to sing. I know and knew Victoria was the main character and im not saying she shouldnt have been, but it wouldn't have hurt the show to give the other characters more chances. But then again if that did happen, people probably still wouldve hated her for being the main character, idk. Its kinda common for fans to turn against the main character when you make side characters really likeable, ive seen it in other shows too.
Matthew coming in strong with an iconic title 😭
lmao I wasn’t sure how to title it so I just riffed
I'd like to point out the best friend's brother song wasn't related to the show or episode... i'm pretty sure the song itself is meant to exist seperately and probably is more of a riff on Stacey's mom, you aren't supposed to assume someone was crushing so hard on their friend's brother that they wrote the song, so much as someone thought it would be fun to write a song about a hypothetical person crushing on her best friend's brother...
In the episode where 18:10 is from, Cat and Jade sang Give it Up in a karaoke contest, but they lost to the two girls who’s table Tori jumped on. The girls were “untalented” but they won bc their dad owned the place. Jade and Cat got banned, so they came back and challenged the girls to another contest, but the winner would be picked by the audience. They made Tori wear in a disguise to trick the girls into picking her bc she looked like an awkward “ugly” nerd.
So, “Freak the Freak Out” is the second song in that episode. The context is that the 2 mean girls got to win the contest that day when Cat and Jade sing because one of their dad’s is the owner. Cat and Jade later challenged them to a contest where the audience got to decide between the 2 mean girls and another of their choosing. They chose a disguised Tori, thinking they would win easily. This was set up by Jade, Cat, and Tori so they could get revenge.
It’s really tough being a Victoria Justice fan back then. I feel like watching someone else actually praise & appreciate her talents is oddly healing some parts of my inner child.
Hear me out, Matthew, if you want to listen to more great songs from another show I can't stress enough that you should check out the music from "Austin and Ally", the songs are great, Laura and Ross' voices are awesome, you'll love the production of the music and I can promise you that you would have a great time! 💜💜💜
Omg I watched all 4 seasons at least 5 times that show was such a hit those years were the last golden era for shows
Yess listen to Austin ally he the mj of Disney channel
I second this! Loved that show's music
YESS OMG
Yes! Yes! Yes! He should totally react to Austin & Ally!
HELLOOO Victoria Justice finally getting actual and not only backhanded compliments??? you're a real one
Matthew loves making his titles iconic lol.
thank you 😭💙
It reminds me of the chapter titles in Percy Jackson
@@hanakokun4694 Rick Riordan is the most hilarious author I know
@@hanakokun4694 omg i just jumped head first back into my PJO hyper fixation after years and then i see this- 😂
The guy who had the tires and the gas canister is their acting teacher sikowitz and he is one of the best characters he just always does the most random stuff you should do a video reacting to out of context victorious because I bet there would be a lot of him.
I love Victoria's voice I don't understand the hate about her voice 😪
Same I absolutely loved her since I was a little kid and always looked up to her.
I never get the hate like for what. I just don't get it.
Why do people always Need to hate someone or something as if they haven't better stuff to do 😭
I not her voice it the fact that the others don't get the attention they deserve
@@The_froggy_one well it's basically a show about her so it's a bit obvious that she shines most of the time. But yeah if the others would have more time to sing it would be great because all of them are amazing 💗
@@The_froggy_onevicTORIous🚶🏾♀️
Me too I love everyone's voice!
Just you know, most of these songs have longer versions (usually with a second a verse) available on streaming platforms, but they shortened them in the episodes to save time
ALSO, Tori, Jade, and Cat have a song together in the Christmas special called “It’s not Christmas Without You”
If you wanna hear a couple songs where Leon is the lead and Victoria does the backing vocals, I'd suggest Countdown and 365 days.
I'd once again like to recommend my favouritest song 'Okay' which is just Andre and Jade singing together and I love those two the most. Especially Jade, the reason for so many of our young lesbian awakenings.
That crossover episode was life-changing for me as a kid! I couldn’t process it throughout the whole thing, I was like 😮
i feel the same way u do abt victoria, shes so talented but ppl literally just hate on her for no reason😭😭
I just want to see Matthew reacting to Trina, he's enjoying so much the songs that he needs to listen to Trina who had the best songs in the show.
He would *love* her voice!
a shecago reaction would be delightful
@@Ariyelle Definitely!!!
Shecago please please please 😂
Honestly, it's refreshing seeing someone praise Victoria so much since it isn't an often occurrence. She really does have a lovely voice 😌
So Matt Bennett, the actor who plays Robbie in victorious, did these DJ events where he would only play Nickelodeon and Disney songs and you could just go and party to these songs, and I got to go to one of those events. At the event, he played Freak the freakout and I was so hyped I literally pulled off my wig like she did in the scene here and threw it. It is one of the highlights of my life because it took a lot of people off guard since they didn’t know I was wearing a wig and actually made Matt laugh
he’s doing it again this year! i have tickets to go in a couple months :)
The hate on Victoria is mostly just cause of toxic Arianators tbh. I really like Victorias voice as well
Exactlyyyy tori was actually my favourite character in the show she was kind and friendly. She is also one of my favourite actresses she didnt deserve the hate
I agree! None of this started until Ariana blew up and her fans chose to start going after Victoria just because they were on the same show and they didn’t get to see Ariana featured more. But also… the show was designed to feature Victoria as the main from the beginning 😅
@@Makberries yes exactly!!! People likely would have not noticed/cared if Ariana wasn’t as famous as she was. They’d probably just say “cats voice was underused” and leave it there
@@Makberries exactlyyyy they are just toxiccc. Victoria is awesome and didnt deserve all the hate.she was the main character,kind and friendly and had a great voice for singing. So there is no reason for hate
Not to mention people with hardons for Liz Gillies. Like Jade was just an awful person 90% of the time, but because she's 'hot', I've seen so many fangirls/boys saying JADE should have been the main character.
7:35 honestly I wish they’ would’ve let Beck sing more. His voice is so good and that was literally the only time you actually hear his voice when he singing.
avan said he didn't really wanna sing much, so i assume they wanted him to sing more but he said no
@@apollokickz oh goodness, just seeing this now. But oh, that’s a new fact I’ve never heard before. But I suppose that makes sense. Perhaps he didn’t want to take away from the show with his gorgeous voice lol. Honestly though it’s sad that he didn’t want to sing more.
we stan Mathew for actually listening to the viewers and giving us more Victorious reactions AND for loving Victoria Justice’s voice cause it‘s for sure not as appreciated as the others!!
If you wanted to know, theres another song Andre sings in the show named "365 Days" and hes the main one singing in it.
Yeah
Here are some more songs from Victorious that I recommend that are amazing bangers : Swell , Cheer me up, shut up & dance, It’s not Christmas without you, let it shine remix, favorite food, faster than boyz, sad news songs, bad boys, take a hint, 365 days, countdown, & lastly you’re the reason 🙌😁🎶🔥
I think people praise Victoria less because there was the perception that she was "full of herself" or had too much focus in the show. Tbf I dont know anything about her outside of Victorious but its always seemed a bit like hater energy to me, she really does have an amazing voice!
There was none of that tho people were mad that Liz and ariana didn’t sing as much so they tried to find any way and any non existent reason to put down victoria
@@Tarikkb yeah I figured, I never saw any good reason when people made those sorts of claims.
People should blame the Nick's producers, who tried to make a second Miley Cyrus out of Victoria and make money from her, and not Victoria, who, due to rumors and bullying, could not do anything, neither sing nor act after the show. She even dislikes all of her songs that she sang on the show because it was Tori Vega and not Victoria Justice.
Nickelodeon even created their own record label to make money from the songs sung on their shows. After Victorious, they wanted to release a full-length album with Victoria Justice but after the failure of Gold and Shake they scrapped everything with Victoria
5:36 Hmm yeah I never knew why the fans hated Tori so much. Her voice is gorgeous.
CONTEXT FOR EACH SONG
LEAVE IT ALL TO SHINE: Victorious and ICarly crossover, they sang a mash up of their theme songs at the end.
FINALLY FALLING: Cat(red head) needed tori to be her model from her special effects class, she used gorilla glue on her Face instead of the regular glue, she did it because she’s dumb, but their is a play on her school where she has to be the pretty main character, this play is important because the famous writer of the play is coming to see it, so she needs to perform with the makeup in while cat goes and gets the glue remover.
HERE IS TO US: just tori and Andre singing in a song for a school Dance, but the reason they are singing this song is because Cat and Robbie (red head and afro) are now officially dating.
BEST FRIENDS BROTHER: just a song for the school prom doesn’t mean anything it’s just a song.
FREAK THE FREAK OUT: Cat and Jade (red head and emo) perform a song (the one you saw in the first video) against theses two girls, the girls do horrible but they win anyway because their father owns the restaurant. Jade and cat get banned from the restaurant, but they make a deal with the girls that anyone in the audience can sing better then them and the girls can choose who they sing against, little do they know that cat and Jade have tori disguised in a nerd outfit to trick them, the girls choose tori in disguise, she performs the song, she dose amazing and they win so now cat and Jade are unbanned from the restaurant
just living for the victoria justice hype 🫀
i love how much you complimented and like victoria! she is so amazing. most people love "classic" pop voices that are more bright and high sounding, which is also a singing style i absolutely enjoy! but i love strong and dark voices just as much, like victoria's. she also, like you noticed in this video, really is super versatile! in her newest songs she sounds so different, singing in a softer falsetto.
I used to love music-based shows when I was younger like Victorious, Hannah Montana and especially Austin & Ally on the Disney channel. Can you please do that one next? It's the show where Ross Lynch from Teen Beach movie first got famous on and it has SO many bops including Steal Your Heart, I Think About You, Don't Look Down, Upside Down, Illusion, Stuck On You, Heard it On The Radio and so many more. I think you'd like it!
I love and totally agree with all the Austin & Ally love in these comments!
OMG I am so glad to see you react to leave it all to shine! When I saw that as a kid for the first time I freaked out so hard!
I cant wait for you to do more of these. There are still so many songs. I didnt realize how many songs they did on Victorious. Theres still 365 Days, Countdown, LA Boys, Shut Up and Dance, (It's Not) Christmas Without You, etc.
I really wished they got Tori and Andre singing together more. They had such good stage chemistry.
Your first victorious video was the first I saw of yours and I've watched every video since and working on all your past videos. Can't wait for what's to come!
I’ve always loved Victoria for many years, the hate she gets is so unnecessary and i wish people would take her seriously as an artist and stop making her just about her character from a nick show that’s 10 years old. She’s so insanely talented and it will forever infuriate me that she doesn’t get even half of the recognition she deserves simply because of fake drama and her clearly being so good an actress that people forget she’s a real person.
If you want more context about those two characters from before (you asked if they were a thing), "I think you're swell" would be the best song
Thanks Mathew for acknowledging Victoria's beautiful voice. I know people love to hate on her for being the main character while "having the weakest voice" but she doesn't? I mean I don't think anyone on this show had a weak voice and yes Ariana is a great singer and all but her character wasn't supposed to be a singer so it's kinda normal that she doesn't sing much. People tend to hate on Victoria for really no reason because she's actually a kind person who didn't do anything to deserve this. But she really deserves people to accept that she's got talent and what makes me sad is how her singing career was "blocked" by all this hate because I would have loved to hear her voice in songs. So once again thanks for telling everyone "hey she sings well!" because it's true !
After finishing the video yeah I love how you became a Victoria fanboy because I definitly am a Victoria fangirl, her voice is incredible and her attitude is fantastic!
For more Victorious songs, I would suggest Shut Up and Dance, Make It In America, and LA Boyz
She’s disguised because Jade (Elizabeth Gillies) and Cat (Ariana Grande) performed in a karaoke competition and lost to two girls who had a trash performance but still won because they are the club owners daughters, they comeback a couple days later challenge them to another karaoke duel where the winner is chosen by the audience not the club owner but the two girls who sucked refuse to compete against them because they know they will lose so Jade says I bet any person in this place could beat you two and they purposefully had Tori in disguise too look crazy and nerdy so that the girls would pick her as their challenger and as you saw Tori showed them up big time.
We need more miraculous content, the show has a couple songs too! Listen to “The boy that i secretly love” , “Santa Clawz” and “The snap of my fingers “
Snap of my fingers is unironically so good ngl
And don't forget Cat in The Night 😮I love that one
Yes!!! And when Gabriel sings 😂 or the unofficial songs like Hawkmoth Rap and Ce mur qui nous sépare
The deal with people not liking victoria's voice is she has like- the most basic of the group in the show. ppl also generally are kinda iffy on her character which I'm guessing influences their like for her voice too. not me tho I just love her voice its so clear and pretty
Which is weird cuz to me she has an interesting voice too , it may not be Broadway trained , but it’s raspy and strong
I love the contrast of Tori's more deeper voice to sopranos like Cat and Jade.
for the next video: cheer me up, make it in America, Countdown, 365 days, faster than Boyz, bad boy!! THANK YOU FOR REACTING! I'm having so much fun and it's so nostalgic and it's so good to see that more people's actually like the things I was bullied for as a preteen hahaha ❤❤❤
I don’t get why Victoria gets so much hate ?! Her voice is great she slays everytime
Loved this reaction! You are awesome and such a mood. I totally understand your love for everyone's voices, they're amazing.
Some more AMAZING songs from Victorious that I know you'll love:
"Beggin on your Knees"
"Give it Up"
"It's not Christmas without You"
Awww, I was hoping when you reacted to Leave it All to Shine you also reacted to Cat's "he didn't say I couldn't sing" line. It's amazing.
Freak the Freak out studio version is just so😩💕 The production, quality and attitude Victoria brings is amazing💖
I can't even explain how many times people sang or played my best friends brother at me cuz everyone had a crush on my older brother 😂
Here's to us is one of my surprise favourites bc that isn't usually my type of song.
So. The old dude that’s dressed weird. His name is Sikowitz. He’s a teacher at Hollywood Arts. He’s that fun crazy teacher that people can talk to and he actually makes it fun to learn. I personally love him as a character
If it makes you feel better Best Friend's Brother was just a random song they sang for a showcase and had nothing to do with any Victorious plot points.
Is there any way that you could do the rest of the songs from The Greatest Showman? It would be so fun to watch!
“Ok slay omg get it” - Mat 2023 (adding this to my Mat Once Said note)
You NEED to do:
Countdown (Andre leads, Tori backup)
You're The Reason (Tori lead)
It's Not Christmas Without You (Tori lead, Jade & Cat supporting, Andre feature)
LA Boyz (Tori and Cat duet)
Please, if you do another Victorious video you NEED to include It's Not Christmas Without You. Its such a banger.
I LOVE listening to the full versions! Sometimes they don't, or maybe can't, fit it all in the episode and so cut some parts out. But they have music videos and their songs are on spotify too, and I love to jam out to them even now. Freak the Freak Out has a great ending (her voice is so pretty) and it makes me sad they don't put it in the show. But, I also kinda get it because it doesn't quite fit the victory feeling of beating the girls like the abrupt ending does... and I know we all loved them losing that bet lol
Finally some Victoria Justice appreciation!!! She's incredible and i love your reactions!
if u want more of andre (the guy from here's to us), you should DEFINITELY listen to countdown, it's one of my favorites and he leads that one
YYEESS
It makes me so happy how much you love Victoria's voice.
Finally Freak the freak out Yayy. Also the thumbnail is iconic lmao
19:55 The nicest tone and voice I have ever heard in my life ❤
Victoria help with the composition for Best Friends Brother, Leon Thomas(Andre) helped with "Song 2 You"
If you like listening to victorious I highly recommend Austin and ally there are so many incredible songs. my favourite childhood show and songs hands down 😇🥰
Tori wasn’t singing about anyone’s brother lol, it was just a song she performed (probably a popular song in their world or something)
Okay, who else wants Mathew to watch the crossover?
I saw "Andrè" perform at the Indy Superbowl. He was good.
If you’re a fan of Victoria’s singing her and Leon’s duets always shine onscreen. Some duets of theirs you haven’t heard yet are Count Down, Faster Than Boys, and the Make it Shine Remix.
If you want songs of just her there’s Your The Reason (slow and fast version), Bad Boys, Make it In America and Cheer me Up
And if you want another song g with her and Ariana there is LA Boyz. 🙂👍
For context on Best Friend’s Brother, there is no context. Tori doesn’t actually like her best friend’s brother. The song is just a fun song.
Why is no one mentioning LA Boyz? It's such an underrated song yet so good! Also Ariana sings in it as a duet with Victoria. Essentially, one of the guys' friends came to town from Canada and the girls all were paying attention to him instead of their guy friends so it is basically their apology.
I haven't heard that in years and I'm so surprised that my mind just remembers that song I hope it's on spotify 😆
I'm telling u right now u NEED to make a #4 Victorious songs because i know u would LOVE "it's not Christmas, without you" ft. Tori, cat & jade AND EVEN A LITTLE OF ANDRE PLS!!!
The problem is that the show set itself up as if Victoria was the only one who could sing, as if she was the end all be all, and gave about 90% of the songs to her with everyone else splitting the rest. And she does have a great voice, but it is by no means the strongest
12:40 that there is the main kids wacky teacher. He is almost always in bare feet in the classroom, and always wearing hippie clothes, but he’s hilarious and a very likeable character.
I actually love Victoria's voice and my absolute favorite is Take a Hint (ft. Elizabeth Gillies).
I want to thank you for appreciating Victoria, I definitely feel like people don't give her enough credit. Victoria is so talented and nice too. ( also I will never stop saying this when someone brings up victorious: Andre and Tori should have been the couple )
if you wanna hear more of andre singing listen to ‘countdown’ it has both leon thomas and victoria justice in the video clip and the audio clip is mainly leon
A song i ABSOLUTELY loved on the show and was terribly underated was "Countdown" its amazing. Also you should try listening to Victoria's solo song "Treat myself" it's a beautiful track!
Victorious songs are always bangers in my opinion even though there are a couple weird ones. The cross over song was EVERYTHING it melds so well it shocked me ❤
I wish you could listen to the fully version of the song Freak the Freak Out, because yes most of these songs are longer, just the episode versions are shorter. Don't know how you could get reactions out of them, maybe find a lyric version and check if you can find out that's longer. I'm only saying that because how the song ends in the full version is a fun listen.
An interesting 4th, if not 5th, wall breaking thought is that the actor the plays Andre in Victorious also played a character called Harper in iCarly when he was maybe 14 before Victorious was a thing. Also, Victoria Justice played a character called Shelby Marks in a special extended episode of iCarly; and they even give a nod to that episode/character in the crossover episode saying Tori kinda looks like the Shelby Marks chick Carly fought.
I'm so here for the fangirling, the victoria justice slander has been going on for too long, and very unnecessarily at that!
I Tottaly agree !
Freak The Freak Out is arguably the best song. Tori was dressed like that because those two snobby girls whose table she jumped on got to choose who would sing against them, so she made herself look geeky knowing they would pick her thinking she had no talent.
If you are looking for more songs to react to I recommend songs from the Scooby Doo movies. Just a few good ones I can think of are:
Scooby Doo: Pirates Ahoy- “That’s the Way We Go”
Scooby Doo: Pirates Ahoy- “Blow Ye Winds”
Scooby Doo and The Cyber Chase- “Hello Cyberdream”
Scooby doo and the Goblin King- “Goblin Oogie Boogie”
Scooby doo on Zombie Island- “It’s Terror Time Again”
Scooby doo and The Alien Invaders- “How Groovy”
Scooby doo! Mystery Incorporated- “Trap of Love”
Scooby doo and the Witch’s Ghost- “Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air”
Scooby doo and the Witch’s Ghost- “I’m a Hex Girl”
Omgg yess more victorious, u know who i would love u to react? Big time rush songs uwu 😂
(If i remember victoria sings with them in one episode)
The guy with the tires and gas canister is the crazy theater teacher, Mr Psychoitz. In one episode, he was giving out sausages and when he was asked what kind of meat it was, he laughed in their faces, making him look pretty sus.
As someone who doesnt like cartoons i appreciate the mix of content youre putting out
