{Best Usage of Dynamics/Volume: Violetta Villas - "Oczy Czarne"}

1:55 - end. Violetta checks all the boxes of your old-time-raunchy goddess. Bossing the guys around with growly belting and the softest whispering, increasing her volume to serenade men with the accelerating instrumental, affirming her status as the alpha bird by letting out her ear-piercing mating calls and calming down with some lilting falsetto for good measure, she never wastes a chance to give all those boys the old what-for. She even checks out with a clean final glissando, completing her #girlbossification into the final boss of the CEOs of #girl.

{Best Vocal Ending: Joe Lynn Turner - "More Than Money"}

3:12 - end. JLT unleashes a flurry of G5s, following the instrumental right up to and including the very end to really hammer in the climax of this last verse-chorus ending. I decided to leave in the verse because I think it's important for how the entire clip develops to serve the final conclusive notes of the ending.

{BEst Vocal Ending - Steven Page}

2:59 to 4:59. One of Steve's better vocal showcases in BNL, this live performance clip shows him bringing their ballad "Break Your Heart" to a powerful conclusion. He shows off everything from soft, understated crooning to a full-on impassioned scream in the climax, with some strong belts and a bit of falsetto at the end to cap it all off. - bass
