Well actually the the majority of that stuff is not power metal.

the singing doesn't match

I agree with you on that, I preffered the singing on the first two albums to this third album, I would not say they had sold out though as their most recent album is the least mainstream in terms of style.

In general power metal singers are quite good I am quite a big fan of Joacim Cans if not for his singing then at least his dramatic hand gestures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3ah7U4juz8 Thats a video of hammerfall singing blood bound, it is a pretty awesome video.

I am not actually sure how much power metal reaches America, I know dragonforce have released there but it is generally only popular in Europe, Scnadanavia and a few other countries.
