I actually don't like the horsey-voiced lead vocals on "Creep" even though I ticked it. It's got an amazing backing track, though. Almost ticked "Connection" because it's got pushing niggling insinuating guitar parts when no one is singing, but then the voices start and it forgets to be a song. I think "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" is great passionate music with a singer who's running away from the passionate goodness - still, I'm surprised it's doing so poorly in the Land of Tickdom. "A Girl Like You Before" needs vocals that are either more r&b or more flamboyant Rick Astley. But it's a catchy dance track.

This year was the tickiness of ambivalence for me.

It's T-Boz's horsey-voiced vocals that really help make TLC for me, it's very different from most female R&B groups (where all the girls sound like Chilli, the sweet-voiced one from TLC). Plus obviously Left Eye's rapping, so they have three different vocal styles in one group, which makes them much less samey than most of their peers.
