The show Violetta has a lot of unique things about it. From love, to heartbreak, family, and following your dreams while trying to find you place in this world. The singing in Spanish is amazing, I wish for the English version for the singing they would've left that part out let them singing in Spanish and then let them speak in English for the speaking parts. Overall, it's so magical and very entertaining to watch. You don't need a laugh track to make Violetta what it is. I admire her for not letting anyone get in the way of what she is born to do. She is a very pretty girl and a great friend, it's a great they don't show us a Zoey Brooks (Mary Sue) type of girl with the female characters on this show; Violetta came from a wealthy home but lost her mother so young, never made any friends in her and never gone to an actual school. She had to overcome those hardships to fight for her dreams. So inspirational.

I loved it!!

People are really overanalyzing this show and seem to forget it was made for KIDS. I grew up with it and absolutely adored it. I did not notice anything wrong, I just enjoyed the beautiful songs and cheesy storylines. Rewatching it now, as I tend to do sometimes, of course I see how some parts weren't the best but for my childhood self this show was a big part of my life and I loved it.
Really bad dubbing
thomaxz-tc3 July 2015
This must be a joke. The really bad English dubbing, where many voices does not match the characters, but the worst it, the really really awful job of lip syncing, there isn't no synchronizing, a new low for Disney Channel wouldn't and does not match the usual quality to put this on their channel.
Maybe if the voices matched the mouths I might be able to watch it, maybe even enjoy it but as it is now it's so awful I can't bare to watch it! Disney Channel should really taking this down and forgetting it ever existed..
Don't watch it, absolutely terrible!!

A new low for Disney Channel.
kpower9823 July 2013
Wow. Where do I start? How this catalogue of errors was ever allowed to crawl out of the lowest depths of the Disney basement is beyond me. The show is terrible.
The "new age Disney" mistakes are more evident than ever - over acting, ridiculous subplots, very poor scripting and bad acting. New Disney shows such as Shake It Up have ruined the channel enough, but this is even worse, a new low. I implore Disney to cancel the show immediately - scrub it from all records - burn the script. Remove any memory of its existence. Its one saving point is the musical talent of Martina Stoessel - the songs are good.
I had rock bottom expectations for this from the trailers but Violetta has managed to expand my understanding of Television - I didn't realise things could get this bad.

When Violetta first came out in the Netherlands, Disney already spammed their channels full of advertisements for the show. And I can conclude that this show is just another marketing series to rip off little girls in buying merchandise. The people who wrote the storyline didn't have any inspiration. It's just another "Girl moves to a new school and find two boyfriends" cliché. But that is not the worst part. I've watched many TV shows and have seen a lot of horrible dialog, but this is a new depth. The characters are just acting childish. From the arrogant She-thinks-she-is-the-best-person-in-the-world-but-has-no-talent- type-girl to the Perfect-talented-honest-wants-everybody-happy-girl. For the main character Violetta, she is just a girl who wants to famous. She listens always to her heart and only wants to do good things. She is to say "The perfect girl." And in my opinion "The perfect girl" is something you want to avoid in anything. Disney wants girls to say: I want to be like her. However she also lies to her dad and justifies that it is OK to lie to your parents when YOU think you're doing something that is the best for you. This may be the case in this show but in real life most parents DO know what's best for their child. Since Violetta is made for little girls, the writers decided to let the boys act like ten year old boys. The whole progression of the overall story is really slow so Disney can just keep airing this trash instead on spending money on a real show, and whenever the story progresses eventually you will see the same over and over since all parts in the story are exactly the same. And although I shouldn't actually talk about the other reviews, everyone who give this series a 10 is behaving like a Justin Bieber fan girl. They are so brainwashed by Disney channel that they don't see that this program is trash. Just like the Beliebers are so brainwashed that they can't see how worthless that guy is. Almost all Disney Channel programs are crap (Fair to say about 99%) but this show is the the deepest you can get. That's why I am giving it 1 star.
Also, sorry for my broken English. It's not my native language.

I started watching Violetta over the summer, just to have something to watch while I am doodling or doing administrative things that don't require my full attention. I must admit that I kind of enjoy these shows. It's a telenovela, each show lasts 40 minutes or longer and there are 80 or more episodes each season. I prefer shows that are longer and have more content, although in Violetta it is sometimes redundant. Apart from that, the actors are all okay to good looking and the acting is pretty standard for Disney. I would not recommend watching the English dub, it's horrible. English dub's are generally more terrible and I hate the fact that they dub the songs too. Now to some more negative points: I HATE the fact they introduce(!) a show with plot holes. We don't really find out how old Violetta is and they never answer the question what kind of institution the Studio is. Is it a music school or a Conservatory? If it is so expensive, how can Violetta enroll and pay tuition without her control-freak father finding out about that? Do the other people there go to school? Their lives seem to be centered around the studio. How old are they? I find it pretty delusional about life as the writers seem to be incapable of including such substantial information.
Also, I abhor Ludmilla. Some of the things she does are outright illegal, I don't understand why she never gets punished. Moreover, she claims to be the best singer and she is considered one of the best singers in the studio, but her voice is actually pretty weak in comparison to Camilla's voice and her singing is perceived as underaverage.
Speaking of music, in the show the characters are not only constantly lying to each other but also to us. Everyone thinks Violetta is the best singer. I mean, she is really pretty and has star qualities, but she is by far not the best singer. Her intonation is often far off and she only has a limited and low register. Moreover, whenever Leon is playing the piano, Violetta goes: "Oh my goad you are a wonderful pianist", even if he is just playing four chords that any beginner can play. It is even worse when Violetta plays the piano, because she seems to think that it requires lifting up her shoulders, it looks so fake. I just don't understand why they can't do a basic "How to look like you are actually playing an instrument" when all the actors are "playing" an instrument in every episode. And sometimes they are rehearsing with instruments that you cannot hear, which I find rather interesting.
I just think the writers/directors should not try to convey that they are talented by constantly putting it into the script, but by actually choosing talented people. No offense, but it feels like they are manipulating us to think like it is good. Some actors are very good singers and performers.
In summa, make your own picture of Violetta. I like that it is musicy and encourages people to follow their dreams, I just wish there weren't as many plot holes. There is a lot more, but I am too lazy to rant on.
Have fun.

Intriguing and linguistically interesting however English dub, at times, is terrible.

I came across Violetta on Youtube in its original language: Spanish. I started to watch it. Even though I only understood very little, I really liked the songs and some of the characters and plots within the series. Violetta ignited my passion to learn languages and without Violetta I probably would not be taking Spanish for GCSE.
I've read a few reviews that are on IMDb about the show. Some I agree with and some opinions I consider and respect but I don't completely agree with. I know that, yes, there is a lot of lying involved with the plots of the show and while, yes, it does seem to give off negative messages, I don't think that that was their intention. I think it simply shows some aspects of people and the real world. However I could be reading too much into it, but that is my opinion.
As for the English dubbing... I could not agree more. Some parts do not sound good in English like they do in Spanish and they don't even resemble the actor's real voices. Some songs in English don't even make sense! Literally none! In my opinion, Violetta's character is lovable but by season 3 you start to become a little bored and irritated by her. Yes, she is naïve and young, we understand that, but she doesn't even know how to see through people! You would think that after what happened with Diego she would wise up and be more wary of people.
Another thing which I think becomes a little 'meh' over time is Violetta's relationship with Leon. While they are very cute together and I do like them as a couple, towards the end, their relationship dynamic becomes very predictable and it takes the enjoyment out of some of their plot lines. You can basically predict what the other is going to say when something bad happens.
Also, my mum and I have noticed that through different characters, the subplots of season 3 are very closely, almost exactly mirroring its previous seasons but with very subtle differences. For example with Clement (Season 3). Clement is a member of the Studio but he lies to his father and tells him that he is in business school because that's where his father wants him to go. (Season 1) Violetta hides to her dad that she is a part of the Studio. When she's preparing for the final show, German comes into the auditorium where they are rehearsing. Violetta manages to run and miss him. (Season 3) Clement is in a show to promote the Studio. His father comes to watch the show with Jade. He is seen by his father but manages not to reveal the truth.
I think of Nicolas and Jade's marriage just about resembles that of an arranged marriage. They don't really like each other. Jade is just using Nicolas to get over German. Much like German uses Jade to get over Angie. Luckily he doesn't marry her and ends up with Angie. Yay! With some shows, you can mirror the previous seasons and it can be done so well. Violetta doesn't mirror everything well. Some of the mirroring, when you think about it, is clever, but most of it is just predictable and makes you fed up.
Contrary to all the negativeness, I personally think that the most realistic and best written character is Angie. All of her plot lines make sense. Her reactions make sense. Her feelings make sense. The German and Angie relationship dynamic is romantic but realistic and portrays an adult relationship very well. Angie shows what it is like to be a good aunt. Angie is my favourite because you never get bored of her. :) All in all, the series is very good for learning a language, the soundtrack is catchy and well written, and I still really like to watch it.

I don't really like Violetta.
It's simply the story of a young teenager who moved into a new town and goes into a new school, where she meets two incredibly beautiful boys, who are both in love with her, and then she has to decide between them. There's also the bad girl and her follower, who are trying to make Violetta's life horrible.
It kinda relates to "Twilight", but Twilight at least had a Romeo and Juliet type of story. Oh, it also had good actors.
So, my opinion is that Violetta has no good actors and no good story. At least songs are kinda catchy.
Remember, that's my opinion.

I like Violetta, I'm watching the show for the first time and it is really amazing. I don't see why people put series of 1/10 ect. If the characters act childish it's because it's a show meant for teens first of all. And after it's not that bad, it's perfect. The only thing annoying me are characters popping out of nowhere when someone sings. I'm currently watching season two, their songs, the characters, they are all okay, Violetta is really a good show. And it lasts long.
Life altering masterpiece

Honestly this single handedly ruled my childhood. I think I own all of the franchise. I even went to the concert.
Must watch for all little children.
My review needs to be longer but I can't really remembed much lmao.
It's a story about a girl who loves music and singing and has an enemy and shes also in a love triangle .
I went to the er in violeta pijamas. I basically broke my mouth and ate only violetta ice cream for weeks. I loved it please put it back in stores.
There also multiple videos pf me singing violetta songs in said pajamas. It literally consumed 5 year old me's life.
Best childrens show ever made.

Ive started watched the series about a over a year ago. And it was great! I even watched all 240 episodes with the English dub! As awful as it sounds, it not that bad. The voices of the characters don't match the lips at first but as the series goes on it gets better. The singing is not great but after a while it's actually kinda OKAY. The show slaps when it hits its 3rd season! Which i think is the best!
So bad that it is funny!

First thing that I realized was horrible acting.I really thought that actors act so bad in purpose!
Second thing:all of characters are little dumb and very,very hysteric. every dialog can be provided and it is so bad!
Third thing:the love triangle!Violeta do not know whom boy choose.
Fourth thing:Violeta have a father.He is trying to protect her.But he do not how.
(end spoiler)
When you look this show alone,you will probably get mad because plot is so stupid. But,when you look it with family or friends,it will be(if you are cheerful) so funny!You will maybe be able to get into story and relax. Because of that,i am giving 4 stars.

First of all I want to say that I think that this is an amazing show because of the story. And to everyone who has just made comments because of the dubbing and the voices actually stop and think that the show is Argentinian, so of course the mouths won't be in sync and of course it isn't their real voices, but it is just like people in Argentina watching our Disney Channel shows. Also, the story contains a lot of drama and I find it very exciting, so much that I have even watched the season 3 episodes in Spanish because I live the show so much. But to everyone who doesn't watch it because if the dubbing just consider if you should be writing bad things about that on a website where you are supposed to write about the actual content. So basically, I would definitely recommend this show because every episode ends with suspense and I just love it! Also Tinistas are one of the biggest Fandoms! Go Tinistas
Literally worst show I've ever seen
rybeylerian29 August 2016
These are the words I have to say about this trash:
Garbage, trash, who came up with this, typical modern Disney show 10 times worse, burn it, terrible acting, horrid dubbing, annoying beyond anything, horrible dancing, cliché heaven, terrible dad that I would run away from, everyone is stupid, and the worse thing I can think of in my mind is this trash (I'm not even gonna call it a show)
And many more things are terrible about this show. Yeah imagine having an obsessed sister that loves this show and having to listen to the dubbing every day for at least a few hours. I say anyone under 6 and a female should watch this trash. Anyone above will probably be laughed at.

This is one of the most interesting shows I've ever watched! I've watched all episodes from season 1 and I'm almost done with season 2.
It has many characters which means more stories and they are all connected. And even though pretty much everyone lie in the show, the truth always comes out and the lie has consequences. Even if they are so much that it's impossible to hold on to all of them, it's a show and no one said that it's supposed to be really possible. And about Gregorio - he is supposed to be a weird and bad personality, but it can be funny if you think about it. I've actually had a Gregorio in my life (with dancing) and maybe that's why I don't find him weird. Even if Violetta has a typical love life it's only entertainment, but even if she is the main character she just hops around all the boys, but it's part of the storyline and what the whole show is pretty much about. The fact that they made kind of a different route to this classic story is what makes it interesting.
The acting seems like in every Disney show to me. Even if Ludmila's looks fake, that's the point and it even makes it funny. Everything that seems wrong in their acting is only part of their character.
The songs are AMAZING! Most of them are unique and you won't hear another one like them. The dancing is also great, but not as good as the singing.
This is my opinion. I hope it helped.

i love it, i watched every single episode, the first episodes are a little introductory but then it turns awesome for a teenage girl to watch... i watch it everyday on DisneyChannel! the best episodes cone after the 40th... I'm so happy the second season is coming! the series is airing in all LatinAmerica,Italy,France,Spain,Russia,Israel, etc. summary the series talks about Violetta a musically talented teenage girl(17) that goes back to Argentina to live with his Dad and his dad's girlfriend(jade). Violetta's mom was a singer that died in a car accident when she was a baby... Violetta knows little about her because her German(dad) is afraid that Violetta wants a singing career too, so she doesn't know about it.Angie is Violetta's aunt, the last time she saw Violetta she was a girl so German does not really remember her and Violetta does not know about her or her grandma.Angie goes to Violetta's house to work as a governess just to be close to her and to give her advices on love, teenage life etc just like a mother would do and also to protect her from Jade that wants Violetta OUT of her way. then Angie encourages Violetta to secretly(from German) to enter to a Music school Called Studio21 where she meets her friends,Ludmila the diva girl, and Leon her 2nd love interest.she met Tomas her 1st love interest the 1st day she came from Spain, and from the first time she saw him she madly fell in love but when she enters to the Studio21 their love will be interrupted by Leon and Ludmila.......
the series is better watched in the original language because the dub made on other countries is not that well done

Is this some sort of joke? Surely Disney Channel wouldn't put this on their channel. It's so out of sink it's... Unbelievable! Does Disney Channel really think where that stupid to not realize that the voices don't even match the people?
Maybe if the voices matched the mouths I might be able to watch it, maybe even enjoy it but as it is it's so awful I can't bare to watch it!
Disney Channel should consider taking this down and forgetting it ever existed. How did Disney Channel get from something like Lizzie McGuire to the rubbish Violetta.
Don't watch it, absolutely terrible!!

I'm twenty-one, currently I only watched the first season (dubbed into Italian) and I liked it. Martina Stoessel has a beautiful voice, four/five songs are stunning and there are touching moments, or that make the heart beat. Follow the story of this girl who tries to fulfill her dreams in secret is exciting, and, when she's likely to be discovered, you hold your breath. The last seven or five episodes, when the whole truth comes out, are done well. But, as far as such a story is engaging, there are some flaws. The first and foremost is that eighty episodes are too many, really too many. Several dialogues are recycled endlessly ("you have to tell the truth," "no, I can't, he wouldn't understand, but sooner or later I will"), the two/three times the truth comes out, a word game is enough to forget everything, and the fourth time that Violetta's father is likely to discover her, the only thing you can do is huff. The fight between the two boys for Violetta is exhausting for nerves because she's terribly indecisive and, even when she seems to have chosen one, she continues to upset the other, only to reject him again. Some of the characters are exaggerated and created to be ridiculous, not at all credible. Perhaps all this, however, isn't annoying for the younger, the target to which the series aims (I think up to thirteen years), but to me, often, yes. So, to conclude: an enjoyable series, with nice music, nice story and nice female lead, but that can be improved a lot. Filing defects, removing all unnecessary events and rehashing something, in thirty-five episodes it could still have been a beautiful and compelling series. More quality at the expense of quantity, please. Now I look forward to the second season on free television.
Horribly dubbed show with paper-thin characters that will dull down children's' minds.
ben_mccarron15 August 2015
This show is awful, as many people have said it's a new low for Disney. The characters are paper thin, over acted, and the dubbing is awful. It's incredibly disorienting when it comes to watching the show because none of the characters' lip movements match the dialogue. Furthermore, the characters' voices are do NOT match their characters at all. The story is completely uninspired and the show won't encourage or inspire children at all. It follows the Disney Channel trend of people who are pop-stars that have family issues, etc. It's bland. Plus, there are too many characters for the show to handle, and the plot line itself is hard to follow too.
Can't believe I watched this
chehbounka17 August 2017
This awfully written, exaggerated cliché telenovela has proved to be overrated. I had heard it was great for teenagers, so I decided to give it a try. I'd say teenage girls are generally mature enough to understand that Violetta's and other characters' behavior is not an example to follow. But there are 5 year old girls out there who keep watching this show, which could influence them negatively.
While watching Violetta, you'll notice that 16 year old teenagers act like kids who have no morals whatsoever, crazy people don't get send to psychiatric hospitals, and illegal actions are never punished.
Disney kept on promoting it over and over, like it was some kind of masterpiece, but it really isn't. It got an undeserved huge success all over the world, exceptionally in France, Argentina and other Latin regions. This is really not something I'd recommend. There are better shows out there. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your time on this.

Warning: Spoilers
Love this series! It is both so amazingly good and so horrible at the same time! There is a cliffhanger at the end of EVERY single episode and the main character Violetta has too many problems at the same time, just when one problem is solved another one appears and some plot lines like Andrés spying on the others for Gregorio is never revealed tot he others, actually the poor guy is so stupid that he probably doesn't even remember it himself. And it is never revealed that Ludmilla was the one who sabotaged Violetta's date with Tomás, making both of them think the other had stood them up. And then there is Gregorio, who sabotaged the studio's show and I never quite got why. I mean sure he was against the show because he said it was a ridiculous idea that would harm the studio but then he does something that he knows will harm the studio. And he never has a good reason to hate Tomás so much anyway. Ludmilla is unrealistically evil and just watching her ruin all the would-be-perfect moments makes me so angry. And then there's Olga's rants! Can't she just shut up? And then there is German (Herman in the English dub), Violetta's father. He does everything in his power to keep her away from her mother's family and he absolutely despises the idea of her becoming an artist like her mother and he doesn't allow her to have any friends or even standing within ten feet of a boy and then he has the nerve to lecture her about lying and be surprised when she gets upset and breaks one of his ridiculous rules! I really hope no girl has a father like that. And then Angie falls in love with Herman instead of Pablo, who's so gorgeous and sweet and caring and just perfect while Herman is this crazy control freak who should be admitted to a mental hospital! Apart from that the series is great and the lead girl, Martina Stoessel is GORGEOUS, can't believe she's only 17, which would make her about 15 when she started filming.
