    John Farnham - You're the Voice



    The choons just keep on rolling in, another song with a stunning chorus, fab entry. My wife had this as number one with a bullet - but she is not the judge here sadly for you entrant :P

    This decision might seem harsh but I just don’t like this song very much if I’m honest. I mean it is a power ballad for sure, but jaysus does your man’s voice drive me dolally.

    This is just epic. God Tier now, you just want to spread your arms out wide as this chorus blast. SPANDEX AHOY!! Bonus points as I haven’t actually heard this one before.

    The Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why


    Again, just not what I’m thinking of tbh, where is the power or the passion here? It’s all a bit too slow and sombre.

    Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream



    Ah man, the King can really sing can’t he? I honestly thought this wouldn’t do too well, it’s all over TV ads at the moment etc but christ just listening to his voice and the raw passion and emotion in it. The crescendo rising to the chorus is just incredible. Great choice and very very unlucky not to win this category tbh.

    Clarabel

    Hamburger Lady - Throbbing Gristle



    Imagine abandoning the monster playlist to enter this… I… I…I don’t even know how to describe it.
    It is patently AWFUL.
    It’s not a power ballad, it’s not even music.

    A bonkers entry and I have to give it the lowest possible score. Kate Bush or Madonna would have scored higher than this steaming turd.

    Initially the entrant actually submitted this…





    I may have preferred it tbh!

    First place and 22 points go straight to
    fixXxer


    Rammstein - Mein Heartz Brent




    Never in a million years did I expect that something from Rammstein would top ANY category, never mind a Power Ballad one. But shows what I know huh? This is incredible, I mean I have no idea what they’re saying, but I just want to sing along with them in typical power ballad fashion. Great choice. Love it. I mean, I cannot stop listening to it since it was entered, so it did it’s job right?

    Fair play Clarabel, I salute you for have the balls to submit this!!!
    Throbbing Gristle aren't easy to begin with, and this one is definitely at the more difficult scale.
