That would make me the other.

Voted All Over Again. My second choice would be As Long As You Follow then Warm Ways but... kind of hard to tell what's a ballad of not with Christine. Unless it's like Sugar Daddy or something.

It just has this haunting quality to it... and the way the arrangement is with the electric piano running into the bass line.... ohhhh goose bumps... (intro)

so many layers yet sparse..

I was thinking that same thing with Nights in Estoril.

It's a ballad, no doubt about it! Ballads can have guitar solos - otherwise known as "power ballads." And isn't that slow-burn guitar solo none other than Lindsey Buckingham?

Songbird. End of story.

So do I. (And my dad, too, btw.)

I voted Songbird. It was tough but it's the only one that makes me cry. That's how powerful it is to me.

This version is my favourite. Chris in the middle of the spotlight at her grand is exactly where she belongs. Being treated like a queen with her Cham. and Roses.

I adore this song mainly because it's a time machine. It conjures up the score to movies like Romancing The Stone. Just the sound and production of it is so very 'adult' 1980s. I miss music sounding like this...

Northern Star

If it's a good enough title for Sporty Spice, then it's good enough for Christine.

[Conga]

Yeah I'll admit I would've chosen Why if it were on there.

I had to go with Warm Ways. Looks like I was alone, heh.

I'd have gone with Smile I Live For, but went with Songbird...
