It's ironic that nick overlooked Keke Palmer, Leon Thomas and Ariana Grande and they ended up being more successful than their chosen anointed talents and lost them all when their shows ended. To be honest, I think it helps that Keke, Leon and Ariana were never labeled to be their television characters so it was easier for them to build their careers. While Victoria Justice, Miranda Cosgrove, Drake Bell and the members of Big Time Rush will always be linked to Nick.

When it comes to Victoria, I also believe it was the choice of the song released as her debut that stunted her chances. When Ariana released The Way, it was a much more mature sound for her (at the time) that garnered attention and drew comparisons to early Mariah Carey. It was a clear distinction between Ariana Grande the recording artist, and Cat Valentine the dim witted character on the show. Whereas Victoriaâs debut, Gold, sounded like a song that Tori Vega couldâve sung at any point in the showâs run. There was never a clear separation between her and her character.

Nickelodeonâs viewership success came mainly from spongebob. Theyâd air spongebob several times during the day. The only live show that was really competing with Disney was icarly. Every Disney show was successful viewership wise, while Nickelodeon relied on spongebob and icarly. I remember reading several viewership articles back in 2008-2012 and spongebob was carrying that network.

I feel like a lot of the reason why Nick stars failed is because Nick was never that serious about making music because their brand really relied on being quirky. I mean when you think of Disney you think of magic, wonder, imagination and just stardom and amazing experience. When you think of Nick you think of Slime, Gags, Jokes and a Wacky time.
Not to mention the general vibes of the shows were very odd or offbeat. Itâs a bit jarring to see Miranda Cosgrove make fun of a cranky man with a wart and make a spaghetti smoothie then listen to her new single. And donât get me wrong Disney shows were weird too but never as weird as most Nick shows were. I canât imagine that was a very easy translation.
They probably realized this and TRIED to make Victoria Justice something. But she obviously was not performing well and by that point Disney was phasing out most of their big names that raked in the millions already. They also did this while the world was slowly moving to streaming.
I think Ariana Grande wasnât really ignored based off of a perception of lesser talent than Victoria Justice I just think Nick really didnât try enough and when they did try with Victoria it was too little too late. I mean Keke Palmer, Elizabeth Gillies, Andre Harris, Miranda Cosgrove, Drake Bell, Kira Kosarin, NBB, etc, etc all couldâve had a more significant career and made Nick a lot more money if the Company was able to properly integrate their brand with their musical talent. Which they never did and never will.

Miranda Cosgrove never really fit the popstar mold, and didn't have any exceptional singing talent. But she was the highest paid child actress at some point, had a great time voicing Margo from Despicable Me, had a normal college life, and is now back to acting; so I would say she did pretty well for herself.

I honestly am glad Nickelodeon had this issue. As a Nick fan from my childhood, watching since the early 90âs, it felt more wholesome generally overall and like they didnât have to prove anything. They were not Disney levels of success, but successful enough to stay relevant and alive. So many amazing shows with actual values while they may not have been factories for pop stars, that didnât need to be their focus.
