Violetta

Okay, just for fun I clicked too see how many stars this series had and discovered it only had 5.2. Then I read some of the rewiews and honestly it's like people really don't know what they are talking about. In my opinion this series is for 5-12 year olds maybe 13. When this series came out and was popular, i was a big fan and yes I can now look back at it and say that some of the things was a little unreal and some people will find it cringe. But give me one Disney film of Disney series that doesn't have something unreal in it. Almost every Disney series has that, because it's mostly made for kids. Things like that makes it more interesting for them. When I say unreal I don't mean that there are unicorns, more like real life situations that can happend but usually don't. They Take a real life situations and pimp it up a little, too make it more interesting, especially for the kids. This is a good series. Yes the dubbing in English is terrible. When I saw violetta I watched it in polish where it actually was pretty good. In English its terrible, also the fact that they make other people sing the song in English is also terrible, leave at least some of the real content. I just wanted to say that this series is something I really can recommend to people between 5 and 12. Yes older people can watch it too, I just think that people In the age of 5-12 years old will enjoyed more. Looking back at it Im so happy I watched it, it really is good and I hope you won't judge this series based of the bad reviews it has, its really not bad at all. I loved it. Today I'm 15 years old and I don't think I would have loved this series as much if I haven't watch it when I was 10-12 years old. So if you beetween 5-12 WATCH IT!!!

I love this series so much! The characters, the songs, it's so nostalgic!

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.

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.

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.
