{Best Vocal Cover - Matt Bellamy}
1:24 - 2:44, Muse's famous cover of "Feeling Good". I used this clip last year in the alt team round, and it really is just a great cover and showcase of Matt's vocals. Muse really made the cover stand on its own.

{Best Late-Career Performance - Chester Bennington}
2:46 - 4:04, Mark Morton's "Cross Off", recorded just 3 months before Chester's tragic passing. The song itself is some pretty generic alt metal, but Chester provides some great vocals, proving that he maintained his abilities and grit until the very end, even at a time when Linkin Park were taking their sound in a more easygoing pop direction.
