{Best Use of Vocal Dynamics - Smitty/Eminem}
(1:38 - 2:48) For the dynamics section here, Eminem in this pretty emotional song goes from soft impressive low singing down to C3 to emotional belts up to A4. Found it pretty impressive that a rapper can just switch styles like that.

{Best Vocal Ending - Gilad/Ryan Tedder}
(5:57 - 7:27) In this performance, Tedder finishes off a performance of his classic single "Apologize" with an emotional cover of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me", and a breathtaking 10 second sustained Bb4. Truly an undertalked about vocalist in the pop game.
