LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it...
so many great voices,
but the votes are in and...
No, no, no, I didn't forget about you lovely Steempeeps. If you read my 📢 📣Attention All @killerwhale Contest Entrants!💹🎶📷 post, then you already know that I need the weekends to go seal hunting. This will now be held on Fridays. To make up for the loss of time, I will resteem and vote on the winners' most recent post(s). But, let's cut to the chase, I know you're all very anxious to find out who we picked as winners last Monday... This weeks winner is @luismarcanoxd! Did an awesome 'Feel Good Inc.' rendition that had us all bobbing our heads! Very well done for not knowing how to rap, congratulations!
Coming in behind him this week is last week's winner, @gabrielamenesesg. SIA is a very difficult artist to cover and you did an absolutely beautiful job! Your voice sounded like a songbird's echo to hers, awesome!
Almost cried listening to this one. What a voice! the final winner this week is Semana nº 34 Equivocada that @jessalin sang...wow, just...wow. Great movement with the song and everything, are you a dancer too?

Community
This is all made possible by the fantastic community and involvement we have here on Steemit. Huge kudos to @enginewitty for the vision and @michaeldavid for initially helping to orchestrate this contest. Big hugs to all our fellow allies that help out with donations and spreading the word. We have recently joined the SMA (Steemit Music Alliance) Discord server and Killer's Karaoke has his own channel over there, so do join us and get more exposure for your good times and talents. Big thanks to @seveaux for giving us a spot! Music is an art and a passion of ours and we would now like to bring up our strongest supporters and think you should give them a Shout too!
