I don't understand. Is not the ballad a slow song?

I thought so too... but if u look at the list from powerballads 3, there's final countdown by europe - certainly not a slow song. And there's Mike & the Mechanics which moves at an average pace.
But logically, yeah, Ballads are slow tracks.
By the way, has anyone heard I'd Lie For You(Pioneers Of The West Mix)? What kind of mix is this?

My power ballads:

1. Meat Loaf - For Crying Out Loud
2. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love (long version)
3. Counting Crows - Colorblind
4. Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever
5. Scorpions & Berliner Philharmoniker - Send Me An Angel
6. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - C'est La Vie
7. Bon Jovi - (It's Hard) Letting You Go
8. Guns 'n' Roses - November Rain
9. Stratovarius - Forever
10. Rhapsody - Lamento Eroico
11. Bryan Adams - Brothers Under The Sun
12. Aerosmith - Dream On (symphonic version)
13. Rufus Wainright - Halleluja
14. Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin (long version)
15. Europe - Coast To Coast
16. Marillion - Bitter Suite
17. Tristania - Sequal Of Decay
18. Alanis Morisette - Uninvited
19. Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Philadelphia
20. Sting - Shape Of My Heart

It's just a radio edit, available on the 3 track single. Nothing special.

white of high wrote
a ballad is a slow song where a power ballad has more rock /metal undertones to it a lot of the best p/ballads are sung by softmetal/rock group's like def leopard,heart,bon jovi ,whitesnake etc
as my music teacher said a ballad is for crying over a power ballad is for crying over with a bit of spunk(not in the waty that you are going to think lol)

its all coming back to me now a kick ass power ballad that makes you to kick the person who is crying :evil: :evil: :twisted: :twisted:[

Great definition Rick!!! Really good clarification there. Now I know, I don't like ballads but I love power ballads!

But then Out Of The Frying Pan or Where The Rubber Meets The Road are not power ballads. These are rocks! For Crying Out Loud is power ballad!

definition:

Ballad - Slow tempo, usually a lament. Most decent ballads contain some form of real emotion.

Power ballad - Most of these are melodramatic tripe with no emotional substance usually performed by godawful softock bands such as The Eagles, Whitesnake and Queen.

oh, and Bryan Adams.
