(Hey I've been to Universal Studios Citywalk too!)

For me, I think part of the reason Tara's song isn't one of my favorite is mostly because it's sort of depressing when she realizes she actually is under Willow's spell. So I usually just for bad for her when she's singing because she doesn't know how true it is.
I also usually end up skipping Giles's song whenever I listen to the soundtrack, which is really weird because he's got such a great voice.

I'm gonna try to read that gif tutorial but it looks overwhelming. Thanks for the link.
