Aloha !

1.Always
2.This Ain't A Love Song
3.Lie To Me
4.If That's What It Takes
5.I'll Be There For You

After 2000 Bon Jovi never recorded a ballad that could be considered a power ballad. Maybe These Open Arms could be considered one, but TYFLM, AALY aren't real power ballads. A power ballad should have:

a)strong vocals with a lot of emotion in them
b)a good guitar solo

And none of the ballads since Crush have any of this.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

The one that got away
Open all night (boxset version - Not really a ballad)
