Yes she has released quite a few sleeper songs (slow medium-tempo), so I can understand why people might not want a ballad. But, she has yet to release a STRONG ballad. It's been 4 years since the last winter ballad I was satisfied with (Days) was released. I absolutely hated You were... - it's just a bunch of shouting and the chorus is just so ... UGH. But I need another winter styled ballad - I will cry of joy!! I love Christmas season and coupled with J-Winter Ballads, I look forward to it all year long!
I even have dreams throughout the Summer now and then, about the first snowfall. And I am always struggling to get out my iPod and listen to Days or No way to say and I'm like crying tears of joy over the fact that Winter is here in my dreams and I think "OH MY GOD I CAN LISTEN TO DAYS NOW". Lol.

I understand what you say about the melody. I am a freak about the melody in every song. I just think of how it should have been to really take it to the next level. That is why I hated You were... as the melody for the verses were pretty good but the chorus is just no good.
