{Best Soft Singing: George Michael - Jesus to a Child}

One of Michael's greatest vocal performances, his beautiful soft tone is crucial to driving home this tender tribute to his friend Anselmo who passed away of AIDS. At its softest, it's airy in an almost spectral way. Even when he goes into a fuller tone, he still sounds fittingly light and not at all forceful, and his control as he shifts in out is virtually flawless.

{Best Sustained High Note: George Michael - Wake Up Before You Go Go}

Yea IDK George didn't have much of the way of big sustained belts or anything bombastic, so yea I just went that falsetto note from Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. The song's kind of a meme anyway so might as well use it here.
