The main thing for all of us was having a ballad, a slower song. Finally, they get to hear more of a vulnerable side to us! We didn't really have that in 'Reflection,' and that's something we all fought for.
My music is very diversified. I'll have a rock song then I'll do a ballad.
My favorite song to perform is 'Love of my Life.'
I seem to be drawn to the really romantic songs.
I always loved that old song 'Banks of the Ohio' - it was always such a man's song, so I've always wanted to record it.
Nothing Rhymed,' my first single in England, was a nice ballad, which I thought would sound like a songwriter typical of the day - denim, jeans, long hair, early 20s.
I always feel on film you have to earn a ballad, because it's a different kind of pace.
I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.
I can write a love song or a ballad, or when I read something and it pisses me off, I know how to go in.
Years ago, I wanted to be like the girl Ne-Yo. You know, with the mid-tempo ballads - I come from the Babyface era. But that's not trendy; that's not hip-hop.
I love blues, mellow rock 'n' roll.
Jesse James is like a Leonard Cohen song, I wanted to do something that was like a pop song.
It's the subtleties of a ballad that truly make it beautiful - and it's all in the way you present it to the listener.
One of the things that I think is such a constant in country music is that the song is so much a story. I believe it is supposed to be based around a story.
But I think beautiful is simple and elegant, like a ballad with simple harmony.
I'm a hip-hop kind of guy, but to be honest with you, I could listen to R&B all day. Give me some slow jams, and I'm a happy person.
But stories that live longest Are sung above the glass, And Parnell loved his country And Parnell loved his lass.
'Turtle' is one of our favorite ballad songs that we've written. It is very quiet but also so bright.
You know One Direction do a lot of up tempo songs, but when they did that Ed Sheeran song 'Little Things,' that was probably their biggest song off their last album, so it shows you that a ballad never goes out of fashion.
A ballad once in a while doesn't go amiss.
I like to sing love songs.
I love heavy-metal music more than anything in the world, but I'm equally drawn to Michael Buble or Michael Feinstein.
'Nashville' songs and country music have always been about storytelling and about the heart and confessionals. They're monologues.
I'd like to do a pop album with an R and B influence. I definitely want to have those big ballads with the uptempo hits as well.
Gaga is a gorgeous singer, and when she sings a great ballad, I get goose bumps.
