{Best A Cappella Singing; Lzzy Hale - "Crazy on You"}

0:00 - 1:54. Lzzy spans A3 - E5, except a cappella. I think it's cool how she manages to make the performance feel like a dynamic build-up with just her voice by frequently contrasting her i c o n i c rasp with softer phrases.

{Best Vocal Duet: Andy Bell & k.d. lang - "No More Tears"}

0:01 - 2:01. Two of the most gay people on earth sing about how gay they are. Andy and k.d. just weave into each other's parts really nicely by having some dynamic line trading and singing around basically the same range. The hand flailing completes the clip.
