Power ballad

A Power ballad is a type of song typically characterized by having a slow tempo, long voiced notes, electric and/or acoustic guitars, and less emphasized percussion and bass. Some sections of the song may include strong percussion and bass that are more typical of the hard rock and heavy metal genres for increased emotional effect, and often the electric guitar comes back in the song’s climax.

    As soon as Meat Loaf and Céline Dion do a duet of "I Will Always Love You" with Heart providing backing, then we can probably draw a line under all power ballads once and for all.
