You actually need to be a good vocalist to pull off a power ballad that explains its disappearance from the modern music industry

The ballads didn't disappear: the ability of the label-promoted stars did.

We don’t have super singers anymore. Nobody is able to match the intensity of Mariah, Whitney, and Celines voices

No attention span for ballads. Song used to be 3,4,5 minutes long. Now "hits" are 2 and 3 minutes long
