Ok i love listening to Ballads/Acoustic songs :)anyone got a fave ballad? i cant chose what mine is too many good ones
 
I love ballads! :)

Lately I've been listening to a lot of slow songs... Joss Stone, Alicia Keys, Corinne Bailey Rae, Damien Rice... ;)
 
one ballad i just love is butterflies from mike...i think when he sings a ballad, there's just no comparison...but most of the songs i listen to now are dance/pop...
 
Did someone say ballads????????

man, I'll listen to any of Michael's ballads, from j5 days until now!!!!!!!!!

he can sing a ballad like nobody else!!!
 
ballads are my fav type of music. i love man in the mirror, we are the world, you are my life, speechless, you are not alone, don't walk away, cry, keep the faith, the glory of love by peter cetera, tonight by elton john, from a distance by bette midler, all piano sonatas by beethoven, the theme from the first of the jurassic park movies, by john williams. heaven by dj sammi. only time, by enya. there are others, but i can't think of them now.

I love ballads, but it would be hard to chose one favourite. I really like "Dance with my father" by Luther Vandross. I know it's really corny but it's just so beautiful! RIP Mr Luther :( I love the Jackson 5's "Maybe Tomorrow" and "I'll be there" (Their two best songs IMO). I'm obsessed with "Stranger in Moscow" right now... it is such an amazing song :yes: I love "by the time I get to Phoenix" by Glem Campbell... and don't ask me why, because I honestly have no idea :rolleyes: "Desperado" by the Eagles is a great ballad. "Because you loved me" and "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion...There are a LOT of great ballads out there.
