What's your favourite Madonna ballads?

[Dashfox 156]

Man, Time Stood Still is simply beautiful, a truly masterpiece S2

I cant stop listening! 

But I have a crush in Falling Free, I dont know why, even if this song is not a known single like Masterpiece! 

Of course I love the classic ballads too like Crazy for you, This used to be my playground, Take a Bow,etc.

 

But I must say: my number one is Drowned World/ Substitute for Love   

 

What's yours?

Best Night

Intervention

X-Static Process

The Power of Good-Bye

Bad Girl

Falling Free

The Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

Ghosttown

Spanish Eyes

The Look of Love

5. Miles Away

6. Get Together (?) or Love Tried to Welcome Me

7. Living for Love (?) or Something to Remember

8. To Have Not to Hold

9. I F*cked Up

10. Crazy for You

[Turuncan 737]

Haha, I take this as a compliment. 

 

'Stronger' would be a good Madonna song title, though, considering she embodies power and strength.

I forgot Nothing Fails!!!! It would tie with I F*cked Up, as I could do without it, but Nothing Fails would have to be in my top ten. It's beautiful, much like the other ballads released with every album.

So many great ballads. I almost love them all but my favorite is Miles Away although it´s not a typical ballad more a love song.
