Robyn "Handle Me" - "Pert and insufferable" is actually a real good description of Robyn. AND I LOVE HER FOR IT. She has a winning way of acting like, oh, aren't I so cute, I just clawed out your eye. This is a terrific song. GIGANTO TICK
Avril Lavigne "Hot" - Her voice is so knowing, and she sounds snide, somehow, in the way that she'd, you know, making all these come-ons. I'm sure it's not deliberate. Good twist in the melody, easy TICK.
Alicia Keys "No One" - If I heard it more it might grow on me. My problem with it is that it's all one single emotion, which weakens its impact over three minutes. I have this problem with Nelly Furtado and Rihanna, too, they seem to only do one emotion per song, but they have more melodies in their songs, while Alicia's seem to be tour de force performances, but that's why I'm wanting more variation from her voice. Borderline nontick.
Craig David "Hot Stuff Let's Dance" - Like the overlay on the Bowie but wanted more power on top. Could grow on me. Borderline nontick.
Westlife "Home" - This isn't so bad, the thing is either a ballad hits me or it doesn't, and this is in the doesn't category, even though they do it well. Definite but not hate-filled nontick.
Elliot Minor "The White One Is Evil" - Totally catchy emo-pop tune here, and his white dorkboy voice holds up for a couple of minutes but by the end I'm not feeling it. No tick for the devil.
Cliff Richard "When I Need You" - Classic song originally recorded by I've totally forgotten whom. Cliff's voice is too old. Nontick.
Koopa "The Crash" - Oh if he could sing this'd be all right, like that mid-'90s novelty hit by Primus or someone. Tickless.
Cribs "Don't You Wanna Be Relevant" - Indie powerpop sound, but the voice is rougher than I'd expected but not in a good way. No Tick
