Nickelodeon Beats Disney In The Ratings With New Teen Queen!

wenn2789579vj.jpg

Wow!

Sunday night was the premiere of Nickelodeon's new show Victorious starring Victoria Justice and the show brought in 20% more viewers than Disney's Sonny With A Chance!

This is particularly impressive because Victorious is a brand new show and had only reruns for a lead-in and lead-out!

Disney even tried to retaliate with having Sonny star Demi Lovato sing on the show for the first time and buying ad time on Nickelodeon for THEIR show!

But Victorious prevailed in the end!

Better watch out, Demi and Miley– looks like there's a new teen queen in town!

      Oh Perez, Demi and Miley, I think you mean Demi and Selena, oh wait Selenas crap show doesn't even pull in 2 million viewers. So that just leaves Demi, seeing as just a rerun of Hannah Montana can pull in about 3 - 4 million viewers.



    2. 2

      Oh and btw, I'm sure if Miley was wearing the dress that Victoria was wearing you would call her a slut, seeing how short it is!!!!



    3. 3

      Lol you are stupid perez. Victoria Justice has been around since '05. Remember Zoey101?
      As for the show…It seems just as bad as sonny with a chance.
      And sonny stinks pretty bad.



    4. 4

      How old is she? She looks like she's in her 30's. Definitely dresses like she's much, much older. I won't let my daughter watch Miley Cyrus and I certainly won't let her watch this.



    5. 5

      Teen Queen? She looks like she's the "new" 40. Can you say, "real housewife of ______"?



    6. 6

      shes 17….so i got one more year then the lotion comes out…lol



    7. 7

      that's a teenager?!?



    8. 8

      How old is she? THere is no way she is a teen. She looks like in mid 20's..almost 30's..Hope she is not another one of those actresses who lie about their age just to have a show..



    9. 9

      She looks like a cougar… how the hell old is she?



    10. 10

      She looks like she is in her 30s.
      Trying too hard.
      Anyways, her show suck.
      Like Hannah, Sonny and Selena's show.
      Every teen show is starting to suck now.
      We need to get back to the "back in the days" shows.



    11. 11

      How old is that girl? She looks about 30! And she's on Nickelodeon?

    12. WTF?! says – reply to this


      12

      pretty girl, but there is not way she is a teenager, she looks like she's 30!!



    13. 13

      Victoria isn't as pretty as demi



    14. 14

      she looks like Elaina (Nina Dobrev or whatever her name is) from THE VAMPIRE DIARIES!



    15. 15

      I watched this. I'm 21 years old and it was fantabulous. x)

    16. Emesa says – reply to this


      16

      Jesus Christ. I'm 22 and I look about 10 years younger than her.



    17. 17

      Re: w00tw00t_here_i_am – Seriously, right?

      Holy hell, this girl is gorgeous! I mean that in the least sexual way possible. Christ, jail bait much?

      I mean FUCK. HOLY SHIT. WOW. Dude, this isn't right. I'm having impure thoughts, and I KNOW that she's not legal.



    18. 18

      Good for Nick. I tend to prefer most of it's shows over Disney's. Something about Disney's just seems more phony to me. This girl is smoking hot. I don't know what the hell some of the previous comments are talking about. Overall this show has some pretty good eye candy.



    19. 19

      wow shes on a kids show but yet she looks like a hooker? wow way to teach the kids lol



    20. 20

      She looks 30. What the hell?



    21. 21

      she is just a kid! Come on! she is what? 16, 17??? And she dresses and acts like shes 25 or older… Doesnt kids nowadays behave like KIDS anymore?? Whats the rush on growing up??? She seriously need to tone down a thounsand with the make up and clothing



    22. 22

      Wow, thats a suprise. Nickelodeon is still pretty crap though. Their shows are real gay and their stars aren't nearly as famous as the ones on disney



    23. 23

      Are you serious?!?! She looks like she's in her thirties..If I had kids I wouldn't let them watch this ho on t.v. Sorry but if you're young enough to have a show on nickelodeon yet dress like an escort…then you a ho.



    24. 24

      This woman is not a teenager!!!! Who the hell are they Fooling?? she looks older than me and I am 36!
      Teenager my ass!!
      Can you say Hooker??



    25. 25

      yikes. she was born in 1993



    26. 26

      she does look older and dress older for her age..she shouldn't be on nickelodeon. she should be in porn!!



    27. 27

      disney and nickelodeon's shows are god awful these days. no originality anymore.



    28. 28

      How can anyone think this girl is a good example for kids?
      Miranda Cosgrove is the only teen star, right now, who is a good role model.

    29. Cass says – reply to this


      29

      Whoever that is, she's done up like a thirty-year-old dayshift hooker. I don't want my kids watching someone like that.



    30. 30

      No fuckin way is this LADY a teen. I want proof! She is @ least in er mid 20's. I know they cast oldr people to play teens in movies the majority of the time. I hope Nickelodeon is not following suit. She is beautiful tho, regardless of age.



    31. 31

      Such a shame you say nice things about this totally inappropriate looking twenty something. You do nothing but attack the adorable perfect role model Miranda Cosgrove. Miranda stayed in school helps children all over the world and actually looks her age. I thought Nick knew what they were doing. My children will not be watching anything with this women!



    32. 32

      @maddieskyes

      um, ya her CRAP SHOW, won an Emmy.. so ya. thought so



    33. 33

      She's a teenager?! I'm sure if it were Miley in that dress, people would freak.



    34. 34

      shes pretty, but isn't she a little old to be on the Disney channel???



    35. 35

      She's 17?! She needs to add inches to hem and take off most of the makeup.



    36. 36

      HOT



    37. 37

      Miley may not be a great role model, but at least she actually looks her age. Even when she dresses like a slut.

      How old is this girl going to look by the time she's ACTUALLY 30?? If she were really in her late 20s/early 30s I would think this girl is gorgeous, but seeing as she's just a kid, it's just sad.

    38. Ryze says – reply to this


      38

      I give her 6 months before she has an album out.



    39. 39

      Um I don't see no teen queen. Maybe a thirty-queen, but no teen queen. Yay for having thirty-queens on Nikelodeon! Maybe they'll be as big a hit as Sponge Bob!



    40. 40

      Re: vincenotvance – I agree vincent!



    41. 41

      I think a fair amount of the people commenting here might work for Disney.



    42. 42

      i saw the first ep while babysitting. i actually lreally liked it.



    43. 43

      WHAT IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT?
      Victoria Justice is drop dead gorgeous! She doesn't look 30 or 40 years old…look at her videos on YouTube and you'll see that she's pretty and she seems really sweet and funny. Stop judging her on the way she looks and dresses in this one picture. She seems a lot better than Miley, Demi, or any other disney stars.



    44. 44

      Victoria is gorgeous and really talented! And for the ones saying she looks 30 or 40, you guys have probably only seen this picture.



    45. 45

      Miranda Cosgrove has already been destroying Disney cashcows with her fatty paycheck and cult hit show ICarly to my knowledge…so Victoria Justice plays second fiddle imo…

      Anywho…I happened to take a gander at Victorious… It's really not all that good…it was just new…

      What am I saying…none of these shows are good…
      Poor kids of this generation… calibre of programming is rubbish…



    46. 46

      new whore in training!!!



    47. 47

      If you look up other pictures of her, she doesn't look nearly as old. I agree that she's made up to look way too sexy. In other pictures, she looks like some sort of mashup of Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens. Weird.



    48. 48

      KalexiS I couldn't agree more about Miranda



    49. 49

      She looks like a whore on a Venezuelan soap opera.

      Which isn't bad unto itself.

      It people want their under-age, teen whores, so be it.

      But the problem isn't the teen slut.

      It is these KIDS channels like Disney and Nickelodeon selling themselves as one thing and then sticking all this hyper sexualized stuff in kids' faces.

      No way could either Disney nor Nickelodeon not tell little girls not to dress like this. Their target demographic is 9-14 anyway.

      And they got the boys shirtless and the girls in stilettos.

      Nickelodeon and Disney execs, why, if you didn't know any better seem to be staffed with pedophile executives - getting sloppy. Maybe they think no one notices?



    50. 50

      Sonny with A Chance is by far the worst show one earth, Demi Lovatos fake smile all the time makes here look like the people from the enzyte male enhancement ads



    51. 51

      Re: truly_blonde – hahahaha so true!



    52. 52

      that teen looks 40 for me

    53. koe says – reply to this


      53

      No mention of how incredibly short that girls dress is? If it was Miley you would be all over that saying how inappropriate it is.



    54. 54

      She's 17? I thought she's 30.



    55. 55

      God, she's weird looking.



    56. 56

      teen queen? Emma watson isnt 21 yet, she still the Queen



    57. 57

      There's just NO WAY thats a 17 year old girl.



    58. 58

      Generally girls that look really old at a young age (most models have this) they tend to look the same way into their 40's..Meaning when shes 40 she'll still be hot..not a fat wrinkled cow



    59. 59

      Re: RosaLupa – Parents like you needs to be shot. For one, If someone 30+ was wearing that outfit a cop would arrest her and send her back to the pig farm. So you think shes trying to be sexual by wearing a dress that in your opinion is too short? Are you a closeted pedophile that you need to look at her and be like "oh that girls wearing a sexy dress that reveals too much"?

      You can come off as sexual with the type of clothes you were? You are dumb.



    60. 60

      This girl is a teenager? She looks like Vanessa Marcil and Vanessa is a bit over 30, I'm sure.



    61. 61

      She's a fine ass Puerto Rican girl!!! Go Victoria, all these ppl are just jealous.



    62. 62

      Disney has been trying for two years to shove Demi Lovato & Selena Gomez down everyone's throats - trying frantically for the next Miley Cyrus. It has yet to work, as both of them stink in terms of talent. Nickelodeon has far more successfully reeled in the tween market with better quality shows, where the stars have far more talent & charisma then Demi & Selena.



    63. 63

      Is Victoria legal?



    64. 64

      jealous much ?



    65. 65

      and demi sucks



    66. 66

      Teen ??? She looks 25 !!!!!



    67. 67

      I never dressed like that as a teen..



    68. 68

      She looks like Paula Abdul! How old is this girl? she looks 40 something! Its just wroooong! wrooooong as Cartman would say.



    69. 69

      she looks good.. much better than when she was on ZOEY 101



    70. 70

      I am so happy for Victoria! She is a really sweet girl. I worked with her on a Sprouse Twins movie and she was great.



    71. 71

      She shouldn't be on a child/teen show shes dresses like a slut. Even on the show she dresses slutty she wears super short dresses and on the episode on Sunday she had on a short shorts Im surprised her ass was hanging out. None of these girls have any talent they cant sing nor act. And this show might be the worst of all of them atleast the other kid shows are slightly funny.



    72. 72

      They all look the same to me… Demi, Selena, and now this person.



    73. 73

      surely that girl is 30, not a teen queen?



    74. 74

      Victoria Justice is 17. I have met her, her mom, and her sister on the set of Zoey 101. I have seen some pretty mean comments on her about her character, and I just want you to know, they are some of the nicest people you could ever want to meet. As for how Victoria is dressed - why are you staring? A gentleman learns the fine art of looking from the neck up. How she is dressed is between her and her mom - who is very protective and on top of every situation - in other words a good mom.



    75. 75

      I also saw some pretty harsh words for executive producer Dan Schneider. He, too, is one of the finest men I have ever met. He works 20 hour days to make family friendly TV shows that kids can watch with their parents, and both kids and parents be entertained. And he succeeds, because adults are watching in large numbers. I am a fan of his work because it is good, clean family entertainment of a sort not seen since the 60's - I never thought I would see good clean family television again in my lifetime, but he is producing it. Nickelodeon is extremely protective and careful of its young stars, taking every precaution to insure their safety and that there are no bad camera angles revealing things that shouldn't be revealed on minors. My own daughter was an extra on Zoey 101, and I was extremely impressed by the professionalism and care taken by the production staff. They are definitely not a bunch of dirty old men who are making the kids wear skimpy outfits because they enjoy looking. The extras on the show, for the most part, are kids of the crew - and parents or their appointed guardians are on set at all times. So back off your comments about Victoria, Dan Schneider, and Nickelodeon because you do NOT know what you are talking about!



    76. 76

      WOW



    77. 77

      she looks JUST like Katharine McPhee!!!!!!



    78. 78

      Re: KatieBremer – this girl is miles better looking than that demi, i just googled them both



    79. 79

      wow some of the comments on here are just ridiculous.



    80. 80

      wow some of the comments on here are ridiculous.



    81. 81

      That because Demi sucks as an actress! -___- 'Sonny' is cute with the others, but kinda gay since its all about Demi. Never really liked Victoria since Zoey 101, but im glad Nickelodeon is starting to get attention for its funnier shows. =P



    82. 82

      demi can sing and act.. this girl can't



    83. 83

      oh lord, some of your parents are freaks and your kids will never have a life if you can't let them expierence life by themselves.
      and some other people are probably jealous that they don't have their own tv show so their like "hating" if that's what you'd like to call it. Go judge your own life instead of everyone elses. Cause 90% of you probably don't have anything as good as what she has or anyone else on these disney/nickelodeon shows or whatever they are.



    84. 84

      Re: Galinda – you probably only think that because Miranda looks like she's 12.
      i'm 17 and i know a LOT of people my age who look like they're in their 20s
      she shouldn't be judged negatively because she looks a certain way
      she can't help that.



    85. 85

      You people need to not insult her! She is 17 and she looks like it, acts like it, and dresses like it, so don't complain! If this was you would you like that???!! Victoria is an amazing actress and singer and if you're being protective of Miranda, she's still great, even if Victoria is, too! So just stop insulting!
