Oh. Hey, Angela! What’s going on?
Wait a second. Did I just hear the sound of your phone not making
a sound when I called?
Well, I don’t know what you’re...
He-llo, how are you?
Cause yesterday I changed your ringtone to my new song
“What’s Not To Love.”
Yeah, I found that out when my phone rang at the Museum of Silence.
Yeah, the tour guide was so mad he almost said something.
Well, this isn’t a museum, so why don’t you turn it back on?
Uh... because... let’s see, how can I put this?
I knew it. You hate my new song.
What?! I like it. Everybody likes it... I mean, Hank, what do you
think of Angela’s new song?
Uhh, I have to go and uh… watch my carrots grow...
I planted carrots in my excuse garden.
Okay, Angela, fine. You wanna know the truth?
The truth is...
I loved your song!
Really? Oh!
Yes! Totally! And now that I think about it, I’m gonna make sure
I hear “What’s Not To Love” every time I get a call.
Wow!
And...There!
Wo-oh, wo-oh, what’s not to love...
Mmm, earthy.
Did you wash that carrot?
No, did you wash your cereal?
You guys, guess why today is better than yesterday and why tomorrow
will be even better than today.
Okay, so you know Victoria Payne?
Victoria Payne? Isn’t she that really mean music critic from the
Thumbs-Up, Thumbs-Down Report?
Yeah, remember when she made that hip-hop star, Tough-Guy No-Tears, cry?
And then she gave his crying a thumbs-down.
Wow, she’s so cool!
Well, tomorrow she’s coming here to interview me and review my new song!
What?! Why would you agree to that?
Because if Victoria Payne gives you a thumbs-up, it basically means
you’ve made it in the music world.
Angela, this is a mistake. Victoria Payne doesn’t like anyone!
Thumbs down. Thumbs down. Thumbs down.
I know she can be negative. But guess what - I’m positive!
And you know what happens when a negative meets a positive?
An angel gets its wings.
Close. It turns a thumbs-down into a thumbs-up.
This isn’t good. Angela got upset when she thought I didn’t want
her new song as my ringtone?
How is she going to handle a review from Victoria Payne?
Well, if Angela’s going to do the interview, all I can do is be there for her...
Wo-oh, wo-oh...
Instant springtime!
Tom, what are you doing?
If Victoria’s allergic to these flowers you’re guaranteeing a bad review.
Tom, relax. You’re getting all worried for nothing.
I’ve never had a bad review.
Yeah, but look who reviewed you... Happiness Monthly, Journal Of Positivity.
Don’t forget The Awesome Report.
The Awesome Report.
That’s me. It says I’m awesome. Oh, and Smile Magazine...
Smile Magazine... Victoria Payne doesn’t work for Smile Magazine.
She makes a living out of ruthlessly crushing singers.
This is it! Break a leg, me.
Victoria, welcome! It is an honor to meet you!
Well, look at you. You are definitely Angela.
Ooh. What was that move?!
A curtsy?
Not a cool move in this situation. Definitely not cool.
Is there anything I can get you? Oh, are you cold? I can get you a sweater.
Sometimes when I’m cold I put on a sweater.
Ooh, no thanks.
Oh, that’s cool. I mean, not like cold,
cause it’s the right temperature. But that’s great.
“When I’m cold I put on a sweater?”
Oh...
So...
Do I talk or...
Sorry. It’s just that you’re just so...nice.
Thanks, Victoria. So are you.
How did you come up with your new song... “What’s Not To Love?”
or I’m sorry, do you still say “love”.
Great question, Victoria. Well, I started thinking about the things I love,
and I realized I pretty much love everything!
You know what I mean?
You know, I’m not sure I do.
Well, I know what you mean, Angela! -I’m Tom.
Hi, great!
Tom!
So, here are some of your song titles: “Look For The Rainbow In Every Rainbow,”
“Happy Longer Than Forever,” and now “What’s Not To Love.”
So, how would you respond to a person who says your songs are too cheerful?
A person said that? Who? Can you tell me their name?
A person could say anything on the Internet. That doesn’t mean it’s true.
Guys. You can’t let stuff written on the Internet bother you, okay?
Well that is just! Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay, I won’t.
What’s not to love?! Yeah.
Thank you, thank you.
What a performance.
Thanks! I’m so glad you liked it.
Well, I think I’ve seen enough to write the article.
Oh.
It has been really nice meeting all of you.
It was nice meeting you too.
Huh.
She’s not as mean as I thought.
Yeah, I kinda like her.
I just don’t get it. She’s not like I expected at all.
We were wrong about Victoria Payne. I guess we worried for nothing.
Hey everyone! Victoria Payne here. Welcome to the “Thumbs-up, Thumbs-down Report.”
Today we’ll be talking about a local singer trying to make a name for herself.
This is Angela. She’s likable, she’s friendly, she has a nice voice...
And she has a new song called “What’s Not To Love.”
What’s not to love? Well, let me see, for starters, this song...
Oh, no.
“What’s Not To Love” sounds like it was cranked out by like a song writing machine
that doesn’t know what ears are. Its sugary, sweet sound
and fake positive message give me a headache. I have a big message
for Angela’s friends. And it’s: “Don’t encourage her.”
Oh and Angela I have a message for you too: Write better songs.
Angela, Angela, Angela. I want to tell you that if this is all you’ve got,
you gotta never sing again, okay? I give Angela a ... thumbs-down!
Payne out.
Ben... Is it possible to erase the Internet?
Well, not without a pretty major solar flare...
Then I guess my career is over.
Okay. It’s the day after the thumbs down. And I still feel mad. No, I feel super mad!
You know what? I just thought of something.
I am going to write a mean review of Victoria.
Okay, you guys, update. I couldn’t write a mean review. I really try but
I’m like what’s the point? And then I went on the internet and I saw
this thing that said you can’t fight fire with fire and I was like,
yeah, you can’t, that just causes more fire.
Oh, someone should put that on a pillow.
Oh, no. Maybe Victoria was right. Yeah. Maybe I do give people headaches.
I have a headache right now.
Oh, that is it. I am never singing again. That’s sad. I know, I love singing.
But I’m not going to do it anymore. I’m really, really going to miss it.
Hey, Angela? Do you think maybe it’s time to come out from under that blanket?
That’s Tom. He doesn’t like my music either.
Alright, that’s enough!
Hey, give me back my sadness cave!
You’re not getting back your sadness cave until you listen to what I have to say...
Smoothie?
Thanks.
First of all, I like your music, stop saying that I don’t. And second,
why do you even care?
What do you mean, why do I care?
Do you like your music?
Yes...
And do you like your new song?
What’s not to love?
I meant it as an answer to Tom’s question, but it’s also the title of Angela’s song.
Yes, I love my song.
And doesn’t your opinion of the song matter more than my opinion, or Victoria’s?
Let’s see if I can interpret... Angela thinks her problem is with her music.
But the solution to this problem is also her music.
So instead of being sad, she should write a song that turns this thumbs-down situation
into a thumbs-up.
Maybe you guys are right. Writing music does make me feel better.
I emerged from the sadness cave
With a smile on my face
All your negativity Is gone without a trace
Never sing again? Never sing again?
Check your ears right now, Victoria. Cause I am not never singing again!
Payne can’t hurt me.-Victoria Payne
Payne can’t hurt me.
You see, it’s her name
You called me sugar sweet
You gave me a thumbs-down
-Thumbs-down
I got news for you...
You were right. Writing a song made me feel so much better.
The number of views is going up like crazy.
This is your best song ever!
Thanks, Tom.
On a scale of one to ten, you guys are the best.
Oh. Listen to what people are saying!
“Angela, you’re my hero.”
Aw... that’s sweet.
“Your song made my day.”
Well, that comment made my day!
Here’s another one “Angela, you’re horrible.
You should probably never open your mouth again.” - Oh, no.
What, who said that? What’s their screen-name? Write it down, we’re going after them.
