X-factors make the difference. The Cinderella video is truly over the top while trying to be cool. "You're my inspiration" has been used in approximately 42% of all weddings so that puts it a cut above. Bon Jovi being played more on soft hits radio than rock stations, great stuff. One of my other favorites is Scorpions "Still Loving You". It has all the typically ballad features, oversung, overeffected guitar and piano, whiny guitar solos, drums coming in late. In the end, my vote goes to the song that wasn't supposed to make it on the list of all time ballads let alone be made in the first place, but did in spite of itself "You're the inspiration" Great choices.
