{Best Head Voice: Georgia Train}
2:01 to 2:51. Honestly my entire team tends to prefer belting for their highs for the most part, but Georgia does alright with this little bit of operatic head voice, getting up to a respectable B5 with a lovely, crystalline tone and closing it off with some fun melismas.

{Best Chest Voice: Will Wood}
3:12 to 5:06, instrumental from 4:06 to 4:24. The first half of this clip sees Will building up to the song's dramatic climax with lots of energy and character, not to mention some powerful full-chest A4s. The second half, meanwhile, goes to a much lower, softer place before slowly ratcheting it up to the finale. Tons of variety here.

{Best Usage of Head Voice/Falsetto - Paloma Faith}1:32–2:37. Just very pretty light poppy falsetto and a going a little harder for that final chorus. A veritable bold moment.

{Best Usage of Chest Voice - Moon Joo-ran}14:54–16:02. Lovely softness contrasting with those super satisfying lows, then the beltier moments got a fun mixture of clear tones and gruff "diva attitude" type tones. And who could forget the thiccness of it all! That'll be most of the bases covered for chest voice then l o l
