disclaimer: though don't cry for me argentina was a top ten single on the Billboard Hot 100, it is the recollection of the thread creator that the song achieved its greatest airplay via a siq'ning dance remix and was therefore deemed ineligible.

Obviously Frozen, the best pop ballad of all time.

Humoresque sis, how could you? Her ballads are always strong

If I have to choose one, I'll go with Prostitute for Love but they are all heavenly great tracks

I'll Remember is like the only song from that list I can dedicate to someone so

Drowned World, but it was v hard

Take A Bow
Frozen
I'll Remember

It's either Rain or I'll Remember for me.... ugh, I'm going to go with Rain for that whole "here comes the sun" bit and those golden harmonies.

All masterpieces (but Take a Nap).

However Frozen > by a small margin.

Ugh. Drowned World I guess. Not her most delicate but her hardest hitting.

This Use To Be My Playground

It's so ****in awesome

Thank you for picking it! I couldn't in all honesty, but I was hoping it would get some love.

U kno I would. Da song means so much to me.

I rebuke this flop thread! Where's Bad Girl ??? We're done,baby ! Love don't live here anymore ,indeed

Rain is M's best song to date

That part always kills me

Give me a minute.

Too many ballads to choose from

But ultimately I picked I'll Remember, followed by Take a Bow, Power of Goodbye, Frozen, Rain.

I don't really consider Substitute for Love a ballad

Either Drowned World/Substitute for Love or Take A Bow.

vote Take a Bow. It deserves it
