@temps: im sorry but ur answered is irrelevant to my question

I just say that if they had released that, fans could know they can do more than power ballads. They never did it, so we just expect power ballads.

but still can u expain to me why u expect power ballads than ballads?

Because I’m used to listen to Joyride. And a Roxette song for me is Fading like a Flower. When it does not have such a energy it’s deceiving.

but Santi, u have to understand that Roxette have moved on since Joyride and Fading like a flower...they have released 4 albums since then. You re not telling me that u only like FLAF and having that as a song model u compare every rox song with that are u?

In fact I really do like the new song, I was kidding. But I think some fans think this way ;-)

Why did anyone expect a powerballad?
The info of EMI Svenska told us, it’s gonna be a ballad sung by per with a guitar and strings-orchestra ... so all of you moaning ppl expected a power ballad - interesting! Your imagination cannot be pretty good ;)

Yeah, we already recognised on our german page that nobody except LEO said that it will be a power ballad. Check out the news and you will see that he uses the phrase “Power ballad” one time. Maybe because of that the people thought that has to be a power ballad. Ok then, now it is NOT, it is a soft ballad..and now ppl are disappointed because LEO told us wrong!
Maybe that is it?

@temps daurats: We are the same!
I compare each song with FLAF.Because This song is the best song of my life.I always hope Roxette to be as high as FLAF.
Of course I know no song can be like FLAF! It was a miracle!
@Vaxjoe:Because Power Ballads are much more beautiful.

@Yashar
MAYBE powerballads are more often played by DJ’s and VJ’s of radio-/tv-stations.
But actually there are sooooo many soft ballads which are sooooo beautiful.
It just depends on your mood, if you prefer powerballads, soft ballads or uptempo-songs!

@Nefatari:I agree that it depends on to the mood.
But I must say that young people are in “power ballad mood” most of the time.

Well, actually, NOBODY except LEO said that ATAY would be a power ballad. So don’t be disappointed ans let’s hope for BREATHE, or WEIGHT OF THE WORLD to be a power ballad.. ((-:

well i wil say this they had most of their success wiht power ballads that fm rock sound that per so blantantly hates and notice they have not had a huge hit since he abandonded that formula

And WHY do we dicide in what genre Roxette play or what power or not power balled they make?
They’re making Good Music we all like it... Isn’t it enough? We love them for that!!!
It makes no importance... ATAY is a very good song! I don’t know what to add.
We are not critics - we are FANS!

I would love to see the Power Ballads back!
They didn’t have one since 1993, and since 1993 they didn’t have a real international hit!

Because they never released officially the MTV Unplugged... That’s what they get for not calming down their fans.
