Top Ten Best Pop Ballads

Purple Rain - Prince & The Revolution

Someone Like You - Adele
Such a beautiful, famous song that even non-Adele lovers know it. Gorgeous and should DEFINITELY be voted the number one ballad song of all time. Takes your breath away how pretty it is, doesn't it?
This song just gives you insight into Adele's painful past. She sings with such pain and grace. The thing that makes me love it is that she wrote it. AMAZING.
It's a great song by a great singer-songwriter. It reminds me of a song I wrote for my ex-girlfriend.

Listen - Beyonce
Beyonce's voice in this song is just absolutely incredible, especially when it gets to the third chorus and she just belts it out. I love her voice.
Beyonce, girl, that song is unreal. Amazing vocals and words. I'm doing a project for English class, and that's my song!
I love this song so much.
This song is the one I chose for my homework on pop ballads. I really think the richness of Beyonce's voice in this song will wow my class when they hear it. Really lovely song!

Lately - Stevie Wonder

Shape of My Heart - Backstreet Boys
This is such a great song that everybody can enjoy. Even people who are not fans like it. They have a lot of ballads that are good, but this one is really good.
Backstreet Boys rock! They remind me of when I was 4 or 5. Love all of their songs. Good to know they still rock, and of course, they will always and forever be number one of all the pop bands.
When it came out, everybody was singing it. Such a beautiful, unforgettable song. A classic from the best pop group ever.

Because of You - Kelly Clarkson
One of the best songs ever, no doubt! Kelly's vocals are perfect, the lyrics are touching, and the instrumentals are superb.
One of the best songs ever! So moving, and the lyrics touch me every time. Best ballad in my opinion.
So many people can connect to this song!

Feel - Robbie Williams
The pain and emotion in this song are breathtaking and give an insight into his life at the time.
One of the best male singers.
He sings with such deep emotion, and his voice is sexy and beautiful.

You're Still The One - Shania Twain
WOW! There are so many great songs on this list. But this beautiful ballad comes from one of the best female singers of all time. It deserves recognition for being the lead single of one of the best-selling albums of all time!
Also, Mum walked down the aisle to this song, so it's very special in our family.
Shania for the win! Where is she now? She needs a comeback! Come on, guys! She never fails to give REAL music!
I love Shania, and I love her voice. When she sings a ballad, it sounds like a lullaby.

Take a Bow - Madonna
God only knows how Listen is in front of this!
Take a Bow has been named by many organizations as one of the best ballads ever. It's beautiful.
Madonna's vocals are warm and strong.
Madonna does the best ballads to me, even though she doesn't have the fifth octave like Mariah. Who cares?
Crazy for You, Live to Tell, Spanish Eyes, Rain, Take a Bow, The Power of Goodbye. The list goes on and on. Madonna is the Queen of Pop but also the Queen of Pop Ballads.
All hail her majesty, MADONNA.
This song is beautiful as heaven. Madonna does the best ballads: Live to Tell, The Power of Goodbye, I'll Remember, You'll See, and one of my favorites, The Look of Love.
