    T- Boz has a perfect low and raspy voice. hide show

    T- Boz is an inspiration and an amzing vocalist. T- Boz is best known for being the "T" in one of the best selling girl groups of all time, "TLC". T- Boz has a very low and raspy voice, but it makes her stand out in a crowd of many female artists. It is probably why she took the lead vocals in most of TLC's smash hits. T- Boz is also an inspiration because she has sickle cell anemia. Doctors told her that she WOULD NOT be able to perform in her life and die in her twenties. T-Boz is a true fighter for deciding to hold onto her dream and prove doctors wrong. She was able to have a successful career and continues to pursue a solo career... at a thriving age of 39! T-Boz is AMAZING!!!!

    This Girl is a trendsetter! hide show

    Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins is a strong woman. She's a trendsetter, she was apart of the Best selling R&B Girl groups of all time. All three members of TLC were trendsetters. They're my favorite band always have been, and probably always will, well, since I was six years old. Anyways, She is my idol, my inspiration, and so are Lisa and Rozonda. If you agree say you agree, if you don't say disagree.
