Stereotypes & examples of 'Powerpop'

A definition is: Powerpop is pop but with a or some powerfull voices, usually powerpop is a one powerfull voice & therefore powerpop artisits are usually solo artisits. Modern examples of powerpop artists are: Leona Lewis & Mariah Carey. Leona Lewis & Sophie Pentecost are similar artists in the sense that they both have the same kind of style both musically & appearance wise & also they've both done covers of Other bands music. Leona Lewis with 'Run' by Snow Patrol & Sophie Pentecost with Coldplays, 'Fix you'. After looking at stereotypes of Powerpop video's (Faith Hill, There you'll be) (Leona Lewis, Run) & (Steps, The way you make me feel) we came to the conclusion that Powerpop video's tend to have a story to suite the song. Usually powerpop will be a love song either with an upbeat tempo or in balad style. My choices for example are are a mixture. Steps, 'The way you make me feel' is quite uptempo with a clear meaning behind the song, whereas my other two songs are in balad style, most of Leona's music is of the same manner, whereas 'There you'll be' is one of Faith Hill's only songs. Steps is the longest going song choice, over the years Steps were together generally stuck to the same genre of music, with the only variation being the tempo.
