- Zoey: Who’s your singer?
- Cloud: We don’t have one. We’re an instrumental band.
- Zoey: Lame.
- Cloud: There are already too many good bands with bad singers.
- Zoey: Maybe you’re right. There aren’t many people who can sing as well as I can after all. I have a voice like an angel!
- Sandra: Says who?
- Zoey: My grandma, when we’re singing Christmas carols together.
- Sandra: Mmmpf
- Larisa: HA HA HA

Grandmas are rarely objective in their statements, but if she does sing well, it could be a good thing for the band. There was already a Beatles reference and what was the key thing pushing them toward musical innovation? Rivalry between Paul and John.
This would either propel them to legendary stardom or end up in a fiery explosion of temperament tearing the whole school apart. Fireworks either way!
Well, if someone are laughing like Sandra and Larissa they can’t mock at a bad play.
Zoey can make her performance. (And when they see she sing well the laughts become tears. It’s Zoey, anything is possible (maybe have a girlfriend after more than two strips))
I am begging for Zoey to get a spot on the band.
And then they find that Zoey is an outstanding singer!
@ Cromm:
Zoey is outstanding in everything. So the best plot-twist would be if she fails spectacularly.

You’re right. It’s her chance to show Sandra and Larisa what she can do and then disdain the band in the end. Go, Zoey! Make them beg for your voice! #teamzoey
@ No one of consequence:
But this means they’d have to be in the same band as Zoey. They’d probably rather be an instrumental band of marginal success that a famous band and have to spend time with Zoey.
@ Wanderer:
Sorry… THAN a famous band and have to spend time with Zoey.
&*$#^ spellcheck… got to quit doing comments on my phone.

Silly Zoey! Grandmothers lie worse than mothers. (How many times has your mother told you that you would -not- melt if you took the trash out during a rainstorm? 😉 )
Wonder if they are laughing more at the idea of Zoey being like an angel.
Plot twist: Her Grandma is [insert female music legend here]
@ Ichneumon:
Hey, i didn’t think on that. Good eye 👌 👊
You know it would end up being “Zoey and the….”
@ Iron Ed:
Of course you won’t melt in the rain, you’d dissolve. You’d melt in high temperatures.
The question is, does she sing like a christmas card angle, or a biblical angle (with many eyes, near-eldrich looking)?
Okay, her grandmother’s still alive. So… hmm… Joan Jett, Joan Baez, Siouxsie Sioux?
Wait, I forgot this strip is German. It’s Nena.
Turns out Zoey does sing in the sweetest, most innocent voice, but also chooses the most obscene lyrics you’ve ever heard.

Which could lead to jokes about them begging for Zoey’s tongue…

…lyrics that she learned from her grandma.
No one is good at everything! Perfect timing for Zoey to learn to be humble. Her voice will not be great but not horrendous either. She will need voice lessons from the super shy girl. Just my take but I hope it becomes true. Both characters could use this as a chance to improve.
Do I sense some kind of bias here? 😛
Zoey sings like a fallen angel?
No, that’s Larissa.

The thing is that fallen angels still sing very well. Also, I think Larisa is more like a devil.
Oh, wait — perhaps that makes her better suited for a metal band!

Does Zoey sing soul? Like Ray Charless? O.O
Zoey might be good “King of the Moors” singer/actress on “Tiernapojat” (Star singers finnish version)
Zoey is how you write a compelling gay character. She is awesome everywhere she appears. Hammy, bombastic and chews the scenery like crazy.
She also happens to prefer girls.
She has flaws and vulernabilities that does not revolve around opression or bigotry, and her biggest hurdle as a gay character came from her crush being incompatibile, and the heartbreak was very visible on her face.
She is very charming and sympathetic, despite technically being an antagonist.
And to think, that she started as generic bitch bully of the protagonist.
Now, she is FABULOUS bitch and I love her every appearance.
We need a quick delivery of some 25 tons of rocks, to cushion Zoey’s upcoming hard landing. There is always autotune though. And death metal.
@ Vandroiy:
There are a good number of “written in Olde English” (or in this case several archeological layers of Germanic) hymns that have lyrics which do not fit in with the goodness and kindness view of modern Christianity.
(From ‘Mediatorial Reign’.)
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Loose all their guilty stains.
Turns out her grandmother means one of the old religion angels whose singing vaporizes people or the angels from Neon Genesis Evangelion
“There are already too many good bands with bad singers.”
Somebody finally said it!

@ David Nuttall:
Yeah, I remember more than one hymn about being washed in the blood of the Lamb.
