Favorite Power Ballad

I was inspired by the "Favorite Ballad" thread.

What's your favorite power ballad? Yes, my guilty pleasure, as I've said before, is hair bands!

My favorite is "I'll Be There For You" by Bon Jovi. Love that song!
'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance... well, they're no friends of mine.

Wow. Mine has gotta be Is This Love by Whitesnake.
According to the VH1 survey, the greatest Power Ballad was Open Arms (Journey)
Yours was #5.

That's cool!

I saw Bon Jovi perform it live last year, and Richie Sambora sang instead of Jon, and it was awesome!

"I Wanna Know What Love Is"

I know it's cheesy, but I've heard some gospel acts do it some justice, replete with choirs...
