After starring on Zoey 101, Victoria Justice cemented herself as a tween icon when she took on the lead role in Nickelodeon's Victorious. Set at a performing arts high school (so Fame, but with a laugh track), the show introduced Justice as a talented singer named Tori Vega. The series also gave pop star Ariana Grande and Dynasty actress Elizabeth Gillies their first tastes of fame.

And it was a good time to be on Nickelodeon, as the 2000s were truly the golden age of the popular kids' network with its wacky sitcoms about young people.

But starring on a major TV series by the age of 15, as Justice did, is no small feat and it certainly isn't easy. Thankfully Justice was rewarded for her efforts with a slew of kudos, like three Kids' Choice Awards nominations. While appearing on Victorious, Justice also stayed busy with a pop music career before going on to score some voice work and guest-star gigs. However, she's definitely not as visible as she once was during the early 2010s … and here's why.

I hope she makes it back in Hollywood either as an actress or singer she's made a few guest spots on the here and there but it's not the same

Maybe this is an unfair assessment to make, but perhaps Victoria Justice didn't really have the talent (compared to Ariana Grande) to lean on to take her to the next level. A similar sort of thing you can say, happened over at Disney, where Zendaya is now starring in blockbusters while Bella Thorne is posting her own nudes online. Also, if a studio is looking to cast a “Victoria Justice type” they’ve already got Nina Dobrev.

Victoria Justice is the Nickelodeon starlet that never achieved her solo success her acting was steady however I feel like it was the music that we all thought she would excel in but after the end of her hit show “Victorious” her career has stalled.

At the end of the day, Victorious was a show that despite being at aimed towards teenagers, they more than likely had enough sense to discern who was more talented between Tori, Jade and Cat. With Victoria, she was pretty much playing the blandest character (she was in essence, the straight-woman), while everybody else were not only arguably better singers, but better comedic actors.
