{Best Use of Chest Voice: Axl Rose}
Using Axl lows Rose here for this category. He usually uses a heady mix, but in this clip I managed to find some of his chestier singing - soft third octave notes, smooth lows down to B2 and some of his iconic gritty belting (which, in this clip, sounds chestier than normal I might add).

{Best Use of Head Voice/Falsetto: Marcella Detroit}
2:21 - 4:08
Marcella Detroit's brief opera stint included this as possibly her best head voice performance. It's a condensed version of the full aria, but she still includes everything you could ask for. Dynamics, effortless fifth octave singing throughout, legato and staccato sections, a dramatic closing C6 - and it's sung entirely in head voice!

{Best Use of Head Voice/ Falsetto: Eddi Reader}4:41-4:50 and 5:24-6:30 (the bit in between is mostly chest voice). Some pure falsetto and some nice blending of head/mixed voice.
