Hah, if you get some advice, let me know. Slow songs are the worst! Either a huge hit or a big bust.

Here's a few of my favorites for H.S. dances:

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri
Don't Matter - Akon
You and Me - Lifehouse
Adorn - Miguel
Only Exception - Paramore
Collide - Howie Day
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

A lot of these ARE a bit older, but still good and usually work. Everyone loves the new dance hits, but new slow songs take a while to catch on, unless it's a good breakup song. Everyone likes a new Pink or Ke$ha song, but a slow one by those artists just doesn't have the appeal that the upbeat ones have.

Bruno mars should work fine!

Mad Cobra - Flex
Snoop & Akon - I Wanna F** You
NIN - Closer

=P

Led Zepplin - Starway to Heaven

+i

I still drop old stuff at the proms

All-4-One - I Swear

is a good one.

DJ DisGrace is all about the teen pregnancy...lol

I had an urban prom this past weekend.

Slow song that killed: "Computer Love" - Zapp! (this song is waaay before their time but it has that Autotune effect so they love it)

Newer slow song that killed: "Bad" - Wale (play clean version)

(nm)

fixed

LoL! Okay, have it your way. I knew the group name both ways but it's easier to just say Zapp. When I think of the group, I just think of the album covers: ecx.images-amazon.com

No "Roger" listed any where on there. :-)

Tracking. Slow songs are my weakness

Typically, I play songs like Wonderful Tonight, Back at One, Don't Wanna Miss a Thing... I've been wondering if these are too old also. But they are classics and still work

LOL
yea, I checked on Discogs it's just Zapp. But it was more as a reference to another thread

Don't wanna miss a thing still goes over well, but I usually refuse to play it, because I just cannot stand it.

Don't forget K-Ci and JoJo, and you can probably swing that Stay song from Rihanna

Usher & Alicia Keys - My Boo
Usher & Monica - Slow Jam
Usher - Love In The Club

pretty much Usher...

Musiq - Love

Luv in her mouth

Luv in her mouth

K-Ci & JoJo always big hits! Imma try the new Rihanna one this weekend.




Me too.

Angel of Mine by Monica seems to still be a good one. Saw some middle school kids singing along a few weeks ago.

yeah, one of the best love songs of all time

Pussycat Dolls - Stick wit u works for me too

Just put Ass N Titties on loop.

Everytime I see this thread it reads like "songs for a porn"

They're usually pretty close.

no doubt :) I'll attest to that even...

Doing a prom with video tomorrow night and struggling for some slow songs. I'm sure I'll squeak by, though. Here's what I was thinking (more than I'll probably need just in case):

Bruno Mars -- When I Was Your Man
Hunter Hayes -- Wanted
Pink -- Just Give Me A Reason
Rihanna -- Stay
Ed Sheeran -- A-Team
Fun. -- Carry On
Colbie Caillat feat. Gavin DeGraw -- We Both Know
Keith Harkin -- Nothing But You & I
Jason Mraz -- The Woman I Love
Christina Perri -- A Thousand Years

There might be more somewhere in the back of my brain, but that's what I had lined up so far. They claim they want 25% slow and 75% dance-friendly, but we'll see. I think more than 1 or 2 an hour is too many and I'm only rocking 4 hours.

Any other thoughts? Trying to keep it contemporary even though I'm personally definitely a fan of the K-Ci & JoJo and all the 90's/early 2000 bangers.

Oh yeah and don't forget ...

Frank Ocean -- Thinkin About You

Adourn seemed to go over pretty well. So did A Thousand Years (good pick)

I'd stay away from the Bruno Mars one - it's a break up song. Like you said, you'll probably only be playing 4, maybe 5 slow songs anyways. There's some great suggestions above in this thread. I used a few for a prom I did a few weeks ago. Good luck to ya.

i guess look for top artists in the charts today, then check out their lovesong/baby making tracks

mariah carey - we belong together
usher - love in this club
maroon 5 - she will be loved
justin timberlake - mirrors
etc

Find the chris brown (dont wake me up) the angle bedroom boom edit. im telling you guys kids go nuts. its hot.

I still use old usher witch the kids all no and for urban that wale and kelly rowland kisses down low was hot at proms i did all weekend.

chris brown (with you) works well and jls (everbody in love)

This song might be a little too old for prom today, but the ultimate prom panty dropper from back in the day is...

True by Spandau Ballet
Watchwww.youtube.com

Molly Ringwald would have got it back then...

Zedd - Spectrum (DJ Marvel Buddha Lovers Remix)
Watchwww.youtube.com

need that withou the bunddha drop at beginning.

everytime i see this thread pop up... my mind reads "SONGS FOR PORN"

aliyah let me know,
Zapp i want to be your man
a thousand years
Rome I belong to you......

A few more Oldies but Goodies for any occasion:
Al B Sure! - Night & Day
Jodeci - Lately
Terence Trent D'Arby - Sign Your Name & Wonderful World
Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
Timmy T - One More Try
S.O.S Band - Weekend Girl
Midnight Star - Slow Jam
