Quote:

Grande went first, with “The Way,” and the song was a hit from the get-go. Co-starring on Victorious had helped Grande accrue millions of Twitter followers before her debut single was released, and when the buttery R&B track dropped, a fan base for the song was already in place. Even with Grande’s pre-existing TV fame factoring in, however, “The Way” took off with unexpected rapidity, debuting at No. 10 on the Hot 100 chart and selling 219,000 downloads in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Chalk it up to the delicious Big Pun interpolation, Mac Miller’s flirtatious guest verse, Grande’s gigantic pipes or all of the above: “The Way” made good on Grande’s promise to longtime fans while introducing her to mainstream pop fans curious to know who was behind that big voice.

Less than three months after “The Way” blasted onto the Hot 100, it was Justice’s turn — and it was reasonable to believe that she was destined for even greater success than her former co-star. By the time “Gold” was released as Justice’s debut single in June 2013, the 20-year-old had already been a more well-known star in the Nickelodeon world than Grande: she had co-starred on the mid-00s dramedy Zoey 101, headlined Victorious, appeared on several other Nick shows and starred in the Nickelodeon Movies production Fun Size, which hit theaters in October 2012. The Victorious soundtracks were primarily composed of Justice’s voice, and had been relatively bankable, with two out of three scoring Top 20 debuts on the Billboard 200 chart. Days after “Gold” was released, a summer tour with fellow Nick stars Big Time Rush was set to begin. Justice was an enduring star with fiercely dedicated fans, and the surprise hit of her co-star was primed to precede her own pop smash.

But it never happened. Justice’s debut single didn’t just miss the Top 10 of the Hot 100 chart — it missed the chart altogether. By the time Justice’s tour with Big Time Rush wrapped last August, “Gold” had become an afterthought — it’s sold 33,000 downloads to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while “The Way” has moved 2.2 million downloads — while Grande was preparing to guide the debut album that followed “The Way,” Yours Truly, to a history-making No. 1 debut in September. One year later, Justice has yet to release a follow-up single or announce a debut album, while her former co-star has an even bigger radio hit than “The Way” under her belt (“Problem” featuring Iggy Azalea) and is preparing for another big album debut with My Everything, due out Aug. 25. To add insult to injury, Grande even found time over the past year to guide another Nickelodeon show, Sam & Cat, to huge ratings — this time without Justice, and as the title star.

Quote:

Justice has musical chops and a recognizable name; she just needs the right project and set of collaborators to make herself shine. According to a rep for the singer, the 21-year-old is currently focused on a handful of acting projects, including the upcoming MTV series Eye Candy and the romantic comedy Naomi + Ely’s No Kiss List. She has also recently written and recorded new tunes with Toby Gad and MAGIC! frontman Nasri Atweh, and is planning to release new music “next year sometime.” Justice has also left Columbia Records — the home of fellow Nickelodeon stars Miranda Cosgrove and The X Factor, but not Grande, who signed her own deal with Republic Records — and is currently weighing her label options.

Whenever Justice does return to singing, it will be understandably tough to recalibrate her audience to bring in adults — but then again, Miley Cyrus recently did just that, taking a break from music to star in edgier films and shake off her Disney persona. If Justice spends a year or two away from music and comes back with a bulletproof single courtesy of a producer like Gad (One Direction, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato), who knows what she can accomplish?

VMA's 2014

*Beautiful Stranger* · 09-04-2014, 04:36 AM

Oh my god, she looked stunning at the VMA's.

And that skirt is crazy.

I'm not a big fan of her outfit at the TCA, but she still looked great.

Victoria did the ALS ice bucket challenge.

Some pictures from The outskirts.

I'm super excited for this movie.

I feel so bad for Vic atm. I can't believe what's going on. I'm definitely not going into the VJ tag on tumblr right now.

Poor bby.

**lyndell75** · 09-04-2014, 05:15 AM

^ Me too

I didn't want to report on that

*Beautiful Stranger* · 09-04-2014, 05:22 AM

I wasn't sure if I should mention anything either.

I hope this all just blows over fast. I want to focus on all her new projects that we're excited about. I just feel so bad for her. I can't imagine how she's feeling.

**lyndell75** · 09-06-2014, 11:45 AM

Seems like she is in good spirits

NYC Fashion Week

*Beautiful Stranger* · 09-06-2014, 12:01 PM

Thanks for those.

She looks so beautiful.

~Lost and Found~ · 09-06-2014, 12:13 PM

Oh wow she looks so stunning. ;love:

I heard she already finished filming The Outskirts. That happened fast.

Can't wait to see her and Avan together on screen again.

*Beautiful Stranger* · 09-06-2014, 12:15 PM

Really? That's fast.

I hope they won't wait to long to release it then. Yes Vavan!

I can't wait.

ETA: I'll go get a new thread ready. Almost at 300.

~Lost and Found~ · 09-06-2014, 12:22 PM

Hope so too! And Naomi and Eli's no kiss list is also coming soon. Very excited for both.

Yay new thread. took us long enough.

*Beautiful Stranger* · 09-06-2014, 12:26 PM

Haha yeah it did.

She has a lot of fun stuff coming up.

I'm probably the most excited for Eye Candy.

I can't wait to have her back on tv every week.
