What genre is the song Salute by Whitney Houston?

It's a power ballad, with a rhythmic cadence that is like a march (she sings about being a "soldier girl in my world"). Some people say it was about Bobby Brown, but that is difficult to prove, since Whitney did not write it-- R. Kelly did, and he sang backing vocals on it. More likely, it could refer to her own career and to the people who let her down or disappointed her, Brown among them, as well as to the people who said she was finished as a performer.


When was tha ballad born?

A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative set to music. Ballads were particularly characteristic of British and Irish popular poetry and song from the later medieval period until the 19th century and used extensively across Europe and later the Americas, Australia and North Africa. Many ballads were written and sold as single sheet broadsides. The form was often used by poets and composers from the 18th century onwards to produce lyrical ballads. In the later 19th century it took on the meaning of a slow form of popular love song and the term is now often used as synonymous with any love song, particularly the pop or rock power ballad.
