Top Ten Best Pop Ballads

The Top Ten
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.

Breath of Heaven - Amy Grant
New York State of Mind - Billy Joel

Do yourself a favor and watch the live performance of this song on BBC Old Grey Whistle Test 1978.

Lately - Stevie Wonder
Angels - Robbie Williams
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.

The Newcomers

? Skyscraper - Demi Lovato

AMAZING vocal performance and a really meaningful message. This girl is an amazing vocalist.

? Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel

Without a doubt, one of the best songs ever written.

The Contenders
This Woman's Work - Kate Bush
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!

Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion

This song is absolutely beautiful! I mostly know it because of the Titanic movie, but that doesn't change my current opinion of it. May all of our hearts go on.

I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys

I can't believe why this song is not number one! Best pop ballad of all time! Oh, memories...

Simply the best! Just listen to feel it!

Take My Breath Away - Berlin

The legendary romantic song of Top Gun, one of the best soundtracks ever released.

Looking In - Mariah Carey
The Power of Love - Jennifer Rush

A classic, a bit forgotten. It touches the heart and soul. Jennifer Rush's voice masters every high and deep note in perfection!

Brilliant song. It tells us all about love, adds the feelings at its best, and the solid, strong, and warm voice of Jennifer Rush penetrates the soul.

What a song, what a sound, what a voice. The one and only original. This song means so much to me! Thank you, Jennifer Rush.

I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

I love this song so much even though it is old. It will always be the best song ever.

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.

An Angel - The Kelly Family
Reflection - Christina Aguilera
Eternal Flame - The Bangles
Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

A beautifully inspirational song sung by pop legend Christina Aguilera. The message is clear: "You are beautiful, no matter what other people say or do."

My favorite ballad of all time.

Everytime - Britney Spears

Just listen to it, and you'll feel something happening to your soul, to your heart. Now, do you understand why Britney is so loved? Because her voice isn't so strong or so powerful, but it has an amazing intensity, the capability to break a heart in two words.

Heartbreaking was the only word I found when I first heard it. I fell madly in love with this song of fragility, and I still love it very much. Power comes from the weakened soul singing a song of sorrow.

I had to add this song because it wasn't even here. Every time makes me cry. It's such a beautiful song.
