Slow songs for a 13 Year olds party?

Ok so I was put in charge of my 13 yr old daughters party music and she gave me the list of fast songs she want but I need help with some slow songs. Its a boy/girl party so I don't want anything too mushy but you know the kids need something to slow down to because they are gonna wear out quick! Make sure the slow songs are new and not something from the 18th century as my daughter says... No country music. No screaming music either! Any songs will help but I will give the person with the most slow songs that my daughter likes the best answer! Good Luck!

Lyrical Solo Song for an 8-9 year old - Very emotional dancer

This is my daughter's 2nd year as a solo dancer and has taken 1st place in all the competitions she participated in. She is very dramatic, very emotional and her technique is beyond her years. We are heading into her second year and are searching for the perfect song! Last year she danced to "In my daughter's eyes" and it was perfect, this year we would like to see her do something "different" -
not about mom and dad but equally as emotional or "story-like". We prefer not to use "overused" or newer songs that are heard thousands of times by judges or songs that are too mature for her - for example, death, love, etc. We have picked a few to present to her lyrcial teacher/choreographer and she will come up with some to but I thought I would put this out there ans ee what others are thinking.

I have seen many post saying that lyrical shouldn't be done by girls under 12 and if you think they aren't capable, perhaps you aren't looking at the right girls doing the right choreography - although I agree it's not for everyone, there are younger kids that can knock your socks off!

She sounds like a mini-me!!!! I've been into lyrical dancing since I was six, and I've been dramatic & emotional since birth. And I definitely agree that you shouldn't be underestimated because of your age!

Nehoo:

My recs are:
Let the River Run - danced to this when I was 9. It's DEF. Dramatic
The Way I Am - Ingrid Michaelson
Dance with myself - Nouvelle Vague
Say It's Possible - Terra Naomi
Sea of Love - Cat Power
Feeling Good - Nina Simone (I PROMISE this is an awesome song to dance to)
Blackbird - Evan Rachel Wood

If you need more ideas, just shoot me an email. I've been dancing since I was three, and I totally appreciate the importance of the song.

Newer pop/rock/techno/etc. songs that are OK for a 7-year old?

I asked this question earlier and nobody seemed to understand what I was asking so I'm going to clarify: I am having my graduation party next weekend. While most people there will be about 16-20 years old, my very young second cousins (2 and 7) will be there for part of it. I need some lists of a few songs each from bands that are okay for kids that age BUT they also have to be pleasing to the main group at the party. That means:
-No Kidz Bop or artists who are specifically for kids (this includes Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, and anyone else from Disney/Nickelodeon, as well as Taylor Swift and Justin Beiber) or edited versions of songs.
-Also, this is not specifically about my personal taste. If you think I'd like DotDotCurve or Jeffree Star, great, but I don't think my cousin would want her 7-year-old son to hear that. The main objective here is to find bands kids my age would like anyway that have appropriate songs (such as Stereo Skyline, Owl City, The All-American Rejects and Forever The Sickest Kids).
-If you do list someone who has a mix of appropriate and inappropriate songs, please list a few songs that would be okay for a kid to hear (like if you say Blood On The Dance Floor, list "P.L.U,.R." and "Lovestruck") so I don't go searching around on lyric sites for hours.
-Please don't list The Beatles or things like that. Again, I'd like stuff kids my age would listen to anyway.
Thanks! (I forgot to add that)

admin answers:

The Postal Service (like Owl City but good :P).

Also, nearly all techno is appropriate for all ages. The song by Newton used in the pepsi commercials is a good one lol, called Streamline
