Elizabeth Gillies and Ariana have actually been friends way before Victorious since they worked together on the broadway show 13! That’s probably one of the reasons they have such good chemistry in acting and singing; and of course Ariana brought Liz to perform Give It Up on tour.

[@samanthaarana2960]

1. Yes they go to karaoke a lot. The reason everyone is so hype is because most of us go to karaoke and just have fun. These characters go to a performing arts school and sound professional. 2. All I Want is Everything is a music video but the relationship is not part of the show. It has a part 2 of the music video where they do a fake flash mob for the guy as their "meet up". In the show, the song is actually used in the same special as the prison song. 3. Take a Hint was from an episode where the two girls had to hang out together, and as they're hanging out, 2 obnoxious guys start hitting on them and won't leave them alone. So they sing the song to get their point across and reject them. 4. "Where is Ariana?!" girl same. We all wanted more of her. We wanted more of everyone. The show was made for Victoria Justice, so it would've been kind of a crappy move to say "hey the other people we hired are more talented than you, so we're taking the show named after you and giving you fewer scenes and songs". The reality is the fans LOVED the ensemble and wanted it to become a more ensemble show (like Friends where everyone is equal), which it never did. As happens with many main characters, fans got sick of Tori. So everyone will complain saying Victoria Justice wasn't talented. Untrue, her voice is wonderful and she's a good lead. We just got sick of her as Tori because Tori was a boring and average character while the others were caricatures and had more interesting quirks, not to mention phenomenal vocals. [There's an episode where the characters all audition for a talent competition and the big complaint was how stellar everyone else did compared to Tori, but that was once again the whole point of the episode - they wanted someone good but relatable and easy to mold into whatever they wanted]. And obviously, Ariana Grande's vocal skill is out of this world and we know the training and intention behind so many of her runs and high notes, but again, it wasn't her show, and it's hard to make the "diva" vocalist the lead because she's not as down to earth relatable as a girl who is just a good singer and trying to figure out her wacky arts school. If memory serves, Jade got a couple of solos and Cat only ever sang duets and ensemble numbers, but I may be mistaken. 5. To reiterate everyone else's recap of the prison episode. The ensemble goes to a foreign country and performs for the chancellor. Tori's shoe comes off mid-dance (of All I Want is Everything, actually) and hits the chancellor in the eye. She gets sent to jail. Attempts at getting her free land them all in jail. They organize a performance for the chancellor where everyone sings I Want You Back, and Sound of Music style they slip out the back while everyone is distracted. Your joke was 100% spot on. This plot, to my recollection, is never addressed again in the series. 6. Ariana Grande and Liz Gillies during Give It Up was an iconic moment of the show. Firstly, because this is one of the first times we heard them really sing, so fans immediately fell in love with them both. Secondly, the girls were already best friends after having worked together on 13 the musical. So having them finally sing together was a big treat for anyone who followed them from before Victorious. I highly suggest, if you do another video, checking out more from Liz Gillies. 7. Dude with the glasses (Robbie) always has the puppet, Rex. He acts as if Rex is an actual separate person from him. Rex is basically his own character in this show. They ARE doing karaoke, not a talent contest, Rex just goes everywhere. Give It Up isn't part of a full on contest exactly, but more a personal competition against some other girls who insulted Jade & Cat after flirting with Jade's boyfriend.

[@leilanyx]

i think the issue with victoria justice is... she WAS put in an ensemble cast with people with far better voices than hers. she has a beautiful voice but it's not versatile enough or interesting like ariana's or liz's, who were both broadway trained. but she was also a bit set up imo bc of the fact all the other characters were far more interesting than tori, who plays kind of the "straight man" character.

Take A Hint is such a perfect duet, their voices sound great together. I wished you watched the episode versions rather than the official music videos. Like Beggin On Your Knees hits different when you know the episode and watch Tori in the scene, she’s a PERFORMER

victoria justice has a super nice voice. i just love how deep, raspy and powerful it is!

[@crxspy_coconut]

they are in a prison! this performance was to apologize to the chancellor of yerba for accidentally hitting him in the eye with a shoe. they also use this as an escape route.

[@-callmecrazy-5859]

The context for the prison one doesn't make it any less insane. The group went on holiday to a fictional European country at war, and in order to pay for their stay there they had to perform at the hotel. When singing the first song you heard, "All I Want Is Everything" , Tori's (Victoria Justice) shoe flies off her foot and hits the country's leader in the eye, which gets her sent to prison. When her friends are trying to persuade the leader to release her, the guy with the puppet accidentally electrocutes the leader's pet octopus, sending the rest of them to prison as well. In order to escape, they teach all the inmates to dance to that song as a distraction and are able to run out the back during a dance break to get on a truck that will get them over the border which is driven by their teacher who disguised himself as a prison guard to assist them. I swear I'm not making any of that up.

[@BeliebGrandelicious]

I used to be OBSESSED with Ariana and Liz's Give It Up I listened to this song soooo many times it was unhealthy lol. They're such good singers it's insane.

[@jydakota95]

Context wise for take a hint the girls were out “bonding” for a play target were in together and they two guys wouldn’t stop hitting on them and then asked the girls to sing for them so they chose take a hint for obvious reasons. The boys look into it for a while because obviously they can’t take a hint. The prison video they were indeed in prison in a foreign country and trying to escape. I think that number was probably inspired by the prison flash mob thriller thing that happened. The guy with the puppet always has the puppet it’s his thing. They do a decent amount of karaoke just because a lot of them are singers so it’s something they do for fun.

the fact that you didn’t even hear the full version of give it up. it has a whole bridge where ariana hits some whistle note runs. it’s so incredible and the fact that nickelodeon didn’t put it in the episode is a crime

[@thisisasupersayin376]

I think the reason these songs don't sound made-for-TV is because a lot of them weren't. Victorious as a whole was kind of a stealth promotion for Victoria Justice's music, so a good number of the songs she sings in the show are songs Nickelodeon was already professionally producing for her. Ariana Grande was cast on the show as the silly airheaded best friend character. Nickelodeon did not expect her to blow up bigger than Victoria. By the time they recognized what they could've had, she was already signed to a bigger label. That's why you don't see Ariana sing a whole lot in this show, even in the later seasons. Nick doesn't own her music.

[@tabaxi]

16:43 they went to a small country for vacay, couldn't pay hotel so they said they would perform in exchange for staying, they performed for the Chancler, kicked a shoe into his eyes, they got arrested so then they trained the prisoners how to perform and befriended them so that they can help them escape the prison and leave the country with the performance as a distraction.

I was just listening to shut up and dance last night and this morning. a really underrated song from victorious. there’s the tv version and the album version. you can choose just know the album version is a Victoria justice solo while the tv version has a bunch of the cast singing with more pronounced harmonies

[@RammerHammer]

As someone who adores this show and knows it back to front, ill be the one to provide some context. In the I Want U Back performance, the reaspn theyre in prison is because the group went on a trip to a fictional country called Yerba and during a performance for the one-eyed chancellor, Trina's (Daniella Monet's character) heel comes flying off and hits the chancellor in his good eye, and while theyre trying to apologize to the now blind chancellor Robbie (Matt Bennett's character) accidentally kills the chancellor's pet so they get thrown in prison and do a Jackson 5 number as a distraction so they can escape.

[@spectrum4524]

There are obviously many more songs from Victorious that will be requested (such as Freak the Freak Out), but one that I personally want to highlight is Leave It All To Shine, a mix of two theme songs.

[@EnderWarlock]

Context. Yes, they're in prison. They went on a school trip to a fictional European country and accidentally blind the dictor, so they ended up in prison. The show is set in a special school where only students who are extremely talented in the arts can join. The guy has the puppet because ventriloquism is his talent (and also maybe a mental health issue). The song between Arianna Grande (Cat) and Elizabeth Gillies (Jade) was set in a karaoke bar, their friends were just there, and the ventriloquist guy rarely is separated from his puppet which is why he took it to the bar. Also Ariana doesn't get many songs. Most songs are performed or led by Victoria Justice as she's the main character.

ariana grande and elizabeth gillies were both on broadway originally. in fact, they met on the broadway show “thirteen” when they were thirteen and have been friends ever since. imo they are the strongest singers on the show. liz gillies hasn’t put any music out though she’s sung on most of the recent shows she’s on and regularly collaborates with seth macfarlene to perform jazz covers (they put out a holiday jazz album i think). her matured voice is even better than her voice on the show- it’s very unique. jazzy and smoky.

Freak the freak out and Okay are probs my fav songs, highly rec. Also, context for 'All I want is everything': *spoilers for that episode* They're on holiday in another country and they had to do a preformance. Tori's shoe accidentally kicks off into the Chancellors good eye, hence 2 eyepatches. They get thrown into prison and Cat joins a gang and teaches them to dance so they give another performance to get out of prison and get out the country. I think, don't fully remember tbh.

There wasn't a lot of karaoke in the show, so it was just coincidence you picked 2 karaoke songs. The show actually is about a high school for kids with special talents. Tori (Victoria Justice) fills in at a performance when her sister's tongue swells up. Her sister was supposed to do the show. After that she gets offered a spot in the school where she becomes friends with Robbie, Cat, Jade, Beck and Andre. The show mostly follows them through school as crazy things happen to them. Like, there was one episode about method acting where they wrote each other's characters and had to go to the house of their Drama teacher mr. Sikowitz and keep playing their part for a full day and night or the episode where they had to give up their phone for as long as they could. My personal favorite was the 'Breakfast Club' episode where they did the whole Breakfast Club thing, except making the characters fit the Victorious characters. Another favorite of mine was their crossover episode to ICarly. The show is actually pretty fun and amusing and even as an adult I sometimes just go back and watch it.

I haven’t scrolled very far but I haven’t seen someone explain the “I want you back” clip. So basically the characters went to some random small fictional country by mistake, and while performing for the chancellor, Victoria’s character blinded him because her shoe flew into his face so they got put into prison. The episode came out like, really close to MJ dying so they worked references into the episode (I honestly don’t know if the episode was even supposed to happen before his death) and one of the most watched and popular videos on KZbin at the time was a prison coming together to perform to MJ so they basically recreated it as their diversion to escape their imprisonment.

If you come back for more songs for the show, I'd highly recommend some of the songs that feature Leon Thomas' character. Dude is also really good and pairs with Victora super well.

[@carlawilson2931]

The Take A Hint video, the Want You Back and the Give It Up videos are all directly from the episodes

[@akanemilevski364]

It was so damn good, I remember Victorious popping on TV and the songs were bangers fr. I also loved freak the freak out which in the show was just before or after the last one. Nothing related but I just happened to watch your reactions on some kpop groups and it was fun, so I wanted to share a girl group that I really appreciate, it's called Mamamoo and its four members are all talented vocalists. So if one day u happen to consider reacting to this group I would recommend the Dingo music Killing Voice one, they perform a bunch of extracts from their songs live, it's 15 mins long and as an introduction of what their voices and style can be I think it's a pretty good start^^ Anyway love watching your videos! 🔥🤍

[@vstopbiaswreckingme7194]

oh if he reacts to mamamoo he's going to be mindblown, truely one of the most talented groups in all of kpop

THIS SHOW WAS MY CHILDHOOD

[@siljaravens]

I wanted to go to Hollywood arts so bad as a kid. Still do if I’m being honest

[@yurikatsuki]

You missed another banger from this show which is "Freak the Freak Out", and the main theme "Make It Shine". Also, you should listen to Victoria's new music as an independent artist. It's called "Only A Stranger", really different from her Victorious sound, but it's really good too.

[@musingsofmessa]

"Take A Hint" is by far my favorite Victorious song. :D

[@phiasfieldnotes]

for the i want you back song context - they were on holiday and supposed to perform every night to pay for the hotel but tori (victoria justices character)'s shoe whacks the chancellor in the eye and the others kill his octopus accidentally and this song is the one that they used to distract everyone and escape prison. now that i think about it i cant believe i never questioned the plot as a kid.

[@spraticstudios8651]

The entire video I was crossing my fingers hoping you would listen to the song "Give It Up" and when you said its name I CHEERED!!! Ariana and Liz's voices are SO GOOD!!! Their characters in the show are usually supposed to pushed to the side in favor of Victoria's character but this was one of the few times we could see their talent without Tori "outshining" them (even though she got a song in the episode too called "Freak the Freak Out" which was supposed to be the grand finale). TBH even as a kid I enjoyed "Give It Up" way more than Tori's song. Plus! Fun Fact: The song "Give It Up" was actually inspired by the song "Lady Marmalade." I like to think of it as its PG sister lol

[@frances442]

I've never realized just how strange and ridiculous the Locked Up episode looks out of context, its honestly hilarious

[@BAChambers-235]

17:17 Petition to give Andrew headphones!

[@kitija5272]

it's so funny to watch Matt getting confused about what is going on in the show especially when you know what is happening in the show :D

[@sophielem59]

Yeaaah, there was amazing songs in Victorious! There also was a crossover with iCarly where they did a mashup of both theme songs and it was good!! If there's a song you should listen to I recommend anything by Trina 🤭

[@brokengirlnet]

So with the Prison outfits, its an episode of the show. I think its a two-parter. They travel across the country to perform for some - really high leader? in the first performance someone's shoe accidentally hits said leader. he was already blind in one eye, but this did the other. they try to redeem themselves but someone ruins his fish tank and they get sent to prison. this song and dance is for an escape they have planned.

[@nerdyozzy]

You gotta listen to the full version of Give It Up. Cause if you thought that was nuts then wait til you hear that one ❤ In the show they cut up the full song but it's just amazing

[@LaraArnhold]

7:51 Jade and Tori have a date in this episode, and we can FEEL THE ENERGY! Just say, that if they want this two togheter in the show, they could be done.

[@dudavasconcelos4736]

We NEED a part 2!!! Victorious has so many great songs.!

[@cosmicspark6772]

i have seen the prison episode multiple times and i don’t even think i can’t explain it to you.

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

Big Time Rush songs when?

[@EverLilac0226]

I love "Beggin on your knees" version from the show, with context 😮

[@BAChambers-235]

Anyone else wish he was watching the scenes from the show? Lol

[@Andrea-nm7ch]

CONTEXT: they WERE actually in prison in ‘want you back’ (they went to another country to perform and tori’s shoe hit the dictator getting them arrested; the song they sang was actually the first one you listened to that said ‘MJ RIP’) and ‘want you back’ WAS a planned distraction for them to escape and that was karaoke, that one character just always brings his ventriloquist dummy with him everywhere

I can’t tell if Mathew is ok, or if he’s losing it
