can you define terms! how do you know if a song is a 'power ballad'
else how are we supposed to know what we think of them.

according to wiki:
Many a weekend have I stayed up, mincing around the living room or pub, closed eyes, open armed, singing in unison to power ballads. Cheesy as fuck but makes me smile.
P.S Power ballads aren't just for the ladies - the singing in unison is generally with a group of blokes who also have a penchant for hip hop. /shrug

Prof. Steinman's alchemical theory is formulated thus:
Overblown Production + (Poodle Hair x Lighter Aloft) = Power Balladry!

just songs women sing?
Women and long haired men, which are practically the same thing.

I heart power ballads.
I used to love that Time Life advert for them - now whenever I hear one of the songs from the ad I always cut to the next in the medley because it was so catchy.
I never did buy it though

That or put some proper shoes on
There's not a hint of irony in my liking them. Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, that's not remotely ironic, it's a tune.
There are several classes of Power Ballads.

the power of love by FGTH is not a power ballad, it's a pop song.

Ok: 'November Rain', 'Don't Wanna Miss a Thing', 'Everything I do'... all classics.
How do you define a power ballad anyway? To me it's over the top ballads, like ower of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
