She may be 17, but Nickeodeon star Victoria Justice still squeals for her “mommy” when she needs help answering a question.
Ah, youth!
In trying to recount when she was asked to perform for the legendary Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Justice chirped for her mother’s input. Mom helped (answer: the summertime). Now, the only thing between Justice and a barrage of colossal inflatable balloons (and a 5 a.m. hair and makeup wake-up call) is anxiousness—especially considering the longtime television event is a household tradition.
“I’m a little nervous,” Justice said. “I’ve gotten a bunch of rehearsal in. Hopefully everything goes as planned. It’s a big deal. It’s something that we always have on during Thanksgiving. It’s a family tradition.”
Justice will be performing “Freak the Freak Out,” a new song from an upcoming episode of “Victorious,” airing on Friday. In the one-hour special episode, Jade [Elizabeth Gillies] and Cat [Ariana Grande] lose a karaoke competition because it was rigged; the girls recruit Tori [Justice] to help them get revenge.
“It was super fun,” she said. “I got to wear a prosthetic nose and be really geeky for a section of the episode.”
The music video for “Freak the Freak Out” shows Justice, who is unsurprisingly working on an album, making the rounds in a warehouse/club (an all-ages affair, we’re sure) with her co-stars to … freak out; it’s been airing on the network since Saturday.
Take a look…
