We need more power duets, we bloody love a duet😆

Chains - Tina Arena
You Give Good Love - Whitney Houston

not sure if they are classed as power ballards a but great songs to sing along to when alone driving

Laid - James
Excellent to sing ( shriek) along to
Also seconding REO speed wagon Keep on loving you/ Take it on the run
Rainbow - since you've been gone/ all night long
Maybe not power ballads in the strictest sense but perfect for a sing a long

Ballads not ballards …

Another vote for a Mumsnet Spotify or similar playlist.. perfect for driving or when doing the neverending chores.... excellent suggestions on here thanks all!
