{Best Distorted/Harsh/Heavy Singing - Paloma Faith}1:35–3:22. An impressive performance with fun usage of growls and harshness. Surprised I had anything for this category tbh !

{Best Vocal Ending - Moon Joo-ran}6:07–6:50. A final chorus with some neato octave leaps and dynamic shifts, ending with a satisfyingly dramatic resolve.

{Best Distorted/Harsh/Heavy Singing - Chester Bennington}
1:48 - 3:27, alright, it's time to bring out the big guns. This live version of the Linkin Park B-side, "Qwerty", shows Chester in beast mode. Spending most of the performance in the upper fourth octave, transitioning between his signature screams and some unreasonably clean belting. Chester is known to many as the gold standard of heavy singing, and this performance sure shows why.

Edit: 2:14 - 2:22 can be skipped btw

{Best Vocal Ending - Conor Mason}
2:26 - 3:34, Speaking of beast mode, Conor ends NBT's loud finish to "Drawing Pins" transitioning between soft falsettos and strong belts up into the 5th octave.
