^LOL... hate it for me as well please. It's not that bad... its history is sad because it was the only ballad after First Love.

Eternally is a let down for me (gotta be honest). Everyone was so crazy for another hikki ballad since First Love was HUGE. Well.. when I got Distance... Eternally was nothing compared to First Love. I dun mean I want it sounded like First Love, but the power and emotion level had less impact. If I didn't compare it to First Love in the first place, probly I would love it more.

The sadness in Keep Tryin'...? I guess I can sense that in the verses, but then the song is too energetic so it's hard to hear the sadness and darkness .

I'm sorry if I offended anyone by saying that most of her songs are ballad :O xD
No no no, we're just having fun defining ballads. Or else this thread will stop in the middle again lol . I'm curious tho, which songs you thought they were ballads in the first place?
