i voted for him bcz i always do and always will...

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

but billy i's EYES W/O FACE is not a power ballad

I am disgusted with myself...

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

...for using the word 'constructed' instead of 'erected'. Carry on talking amongst yourselves.

ALL GOOD

all good.

Do You Have To Wear A Disguise

[koganbot]

I will befriend anyone who votes for "Love Hurts."

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

nazareth are awesome but much less known in the uk than the us i suspect

Livin' On A Prayer

[koganbot]

I voted for Belinda Carlisle but I will be very unhappy if she wins, especially since the song is a rip of the much better "Livin' On A Prayer."

Celine My Heart

[koganbot]

Celine Dion has covered two of these, very well ("All By Myself" and "Drove All Night").

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

this poll would be better if you could vote for meat loaf in all three sections

[miss-newham.livejournal.com]

Everyone stop LYING TO YOURSELVES and tick Nickelback already...

[maura.livejournal.com]

i could make a better power ballad triple cd than this with my ears plugged and my nose clipped

i mean 'bitch'?!?!?!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

This is a fantastic compilation! I ticked 23/39.

Matt, next time remember to include Favourite/Worst texty boxes! Then I could denote my love for FOREIGNER formally! And my hate for Chad K, of course (bizarrely I don't mind the Nickelback song so much as Chad on his own, though it isn't worth a tick).

FOREIGNER > BONNIE TYLER >>> Everything else >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chad K

Sinead O'Connor should not be on here.

Poison should be winning this easily.

I voted for 17 songs.

Cyndi Lauper's 'I Drove All Night' is so much better than Roy Orbison's version. I don't think the song suits The Big O at all and never understood why it was released (it was quite a while after he died).

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I wish you had done the best box, every time I scrolled down I kept seeing a new BEST THING. It's between Bonnie, Foreigner or BIG PHIL.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

missing you by John Waite is far and away the best song on this and is a proper Power Ballad too. DO YOU SEE, he says he isn't missing her, BUT REALLY HE IS, ie if it had jangly gtrs behind it, this would be indiest song ever TOO!

NO CELINE NO CREDIBILITY

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

'It's All Coming Back To Me Now' was co-written with Jim Steinman and out Meat Loafs Meat Loaf by a VERY LONG WAY. It is eight minutes long and quite, quite epic.

DISGRACEFUL

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

Alone should be way higher

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

I am quite happy with the current score, with a number of truly great tunes (and Simply Minds ERROR ERROR ERROR) holding their heads high, and still Bonnie comfortably in the lead.

Total Eclipse actually came up in conversation at the wedding I was at last weekend, someone mentioned that there is a Steinman-produced Tyler/Loaf album, power duet after power duet unto infinity. Does anyone know any more? jel_bugle, I'm looking at you.
