You guys realize "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" isn't really a ballad?

I'm usually not one to interject but...
bal·lad[bal-uh d] noun
1. any light, simple song, especially one of sentimental or romantic character, having two or more stanzas all sung to the same melody.
2. a simple narrative poem of folk origin, composed in short stanzas and adapted for singing.
3. any poem written in similar style.
4. the music for a ballad.
5. a sentimental or romantic popular song.

"When The Lights Go Down" "GoodBye" "Extraordinary" "Future Baby Mama" "Love (So hard i fell)" "Scandalous" "Beautiful Ones" "Shhh" (Tevin Campbell version) "Elixer" "Adore"
Bonus track "Soul Sanctuary"  will ALWAYS think of  like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

No problem, I do the same. Just because a song is slow doesn't make it a ballad. Thanks 4 post what I was about to post too.

i'm differentiating btwn ballads and midtempos here. Somebody's Somebody is not a true ballad IMO. and for me amid all the complaining here, i think P's ballad game has been mad tight in recent years.
In no particular order S.H.O.E Better With Time Sea of Everything Still Would Stand All Time The One Adore International Lover Do Me Baby The Beautiful Ones I Love U in Me

4ever n My Life is not a ballad... :roll: Fuck it, I'll bite. Please, by all means, tell us how you (obviously the org's resident expert on balladry) would define a ballad? Ya know, seeing as your so quick to tell so many folk how their picks are "definitely" NOT ballads. | |

That's not a ballad dummy "Climb in my fur." | |

Insatiable That's not a ballad!
Ok, let's try So Dark Are you clueless? That's definitely not a ballad!!
Hmm, how about Endorphinmachine Good choice. I'm fairly certain that qualifies as a ballad.
