HELLO and welcome to the latest feature to hit the Madonna forum. Over the next few weeks, we will be collectively finding out our favourite Madonna ballad!

 

At this stage all you have to do is search back through her back catalogue and nominate between 3 and 10 ballads.

 

Now obviously we might all have different definitions for a ballad but if we stick to the definition of: "a slow sentimental or romantic song." we should be ok! Regardless of what inidividuals might think though, if the song gets enough nominations it will be put through, but please don't take the piss :P If there are any songs that WILDY go against the idea of a ballad, we might have to omit them, but I'm sure it won't come to that and we can always discuss ones we are not sure about in this thread :heehee: If in doubt think EMOTION~

 

So grab your tissues, get listening and NOMINATE :snif:

Oh gosh, this will be interesting!

 

I don't really think of her as a ballad artist and yet she actually does them so very well indeed. Oh Father is a must for me but so would I'll Remember, Forbidden Love (if that counts?), Intervention, Crazy For You, Live To Tell and Ghosttown too for that matter.

Oh Father

Power of Goodbye

Crazy For You

Does Where Life Begins count?

I'd say so.

 

My way of defining a Madonna ballad is asking myself whether it would appear on Something to Remember. 'Where Life Begins' would in terms of sound, although probably not lyrically.

Crazy For You

The Power of Goodbye

Rain

Take A Bow

You'll See

I'll Remember

Promise To Try

What It Feels Like For A Girl

Live To Tell

Frozen

 

So hard :cry: I did have Secret but on second thought it isn't really a ballad

Crazy For You >>>> all other Madonna ballads.

 

The music is so emotive in this one, the vocal is great too.

 

 

Live to Tell MUST win, all these years and it's still absolutely exquisite

 

Bal remind me to do noms if I never return to this thread

I just tried to make a list of Madonna ballads so that I don't miss anything out when compiling my Top 10 - I ended up with over 50 songs and at least half of them could quite easily be among my favourites! :lol: Like John says, I'm going to have to be brutal!

 

Oh Father is a must for me but so would I'll Remember, Forbidden Love (if that counts?), Intervention, Crazy For You, Live To Tell and Ghosttown too for that matter.

Presumably the Confessions one? I was a bit stuck on that one; I'd personally be inclined to say it was but I'd get arguments that it wasn't.

 

So hard :cry: I did have Secret but on second thought it isn't really a ballad

Again, I'd say it was but can see both sides.

Crazy For You

Frozen

Ghosttown

I'll Remember

Live To Tell

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

Rain

Take A Bow

The Power of Good-Bye

You'll See

Ghosttown

Intervention

You'll See

Oh Father

Rain

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

You'll See

The Power of Good Bye
