Steemit Open Mic Is About Building A Community Of Musicians On Steemit Not About Winning --- by @luzcypher
Special thanks to @krystle for help judging the contest this week. Great job.
Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connections on Steemit through music. Watching the collaborations happen online between musicians who played and met on Steemit Open Mic is very rewarding and many of the people who play and post earn some nice rewards for playing a song.
For many, it's easier to get some Steem in your tip jar by playing for Steemit Open Mic than it is to play music on the street.
Steemit Open Mic Trending Posts
Top 20 Trending Open Mic Posts
NOTE: Having a trending post is not how judges pick entries for their Top 5 weekly picks. Sometimes you will trend because of a variety of reasons. Congratulations! You don't need to win Open Mic to earn rewards and build your audience. As you can see, sometimes trending posts earn more than the contest rewards! You could trend by getting curated by other curation groups like @curie for example. The judges look for entertainment value which, of course, is very subjective and varies over time. Just keep playing and engaging with the community which is the whole point of Open Mic. If you love music, we love you.

1st Place
You won 40 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 147 Original Song Un Beso By Mariajruizb --- by @mariajruizb
This song feels so full of hope and happiness, I just couldn't help but bop along when you get to that chorus - you have yourself an addictive tune there my friends, that is a hook and a half (even without knowing the words lol).
That melody is just spectacular in every sense, you really just smashed it out of the park with this performance - displaying truly amazingly fantastic vocal range and control, brilliant vocal gymnastics with precision execution. - @krystle
2nd Place
You won 20 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 147 Or Viaje A La Paz David Suarez Original Composition On Guitar By Davidsuarezms --- by @davidsuarezms
*You created and set a mood, that changed and evolved as the song progressed - you displayed control and skill when adding small inflections and embellishments at key moments of the performance, creating a multi-textured feel that was all interwoven and belonging.(
What is even more perfect is how the birds and general sounds of nature and life filter through the sound, but cannot distract or take away from the intrinsic beauty of the music - you created such a peaceful and almost transcendent piece of music, that builds and ebbs creating a movement within the sound itself and therefore the listener.
This is a truly beautiful composition, with expert precision and execution of delivery - with a stunning background setting and seeing you in and your instrument in it's entirety, this is special on so many levels and I just loved every second of it. I really hope to see and hear more in the future. - @krystle
3rd Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Openmic Semana 147 Ya No Me Acuerdo Jose Cabrera Estopa Cover Esp Eng --- by @joseacabrerav
Man your voice is like liquid gold, just utter perfection on every level - you expertly display an amazing vocal range, but better than that you also show different textures and effects throughout the song to embellish different moments and emotions.
You never just sing a song, it is always a complete embodiment of the meaning of the song - you transport the viewer immediately into your moment in time, taking them on a journey that completely envelops them.
I just can never get over how brilliant your playing is, you never miss a note, never overpower the vocals, never seen to really need to acknowledge the thing is even there! - You need no other instruments, you create the complete experience all on your own. - @krystle
4th Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Semana 147 Desencuentro Cover --- by @origen1618
Wow you really captured my attention from the instant you started, it was such an emotive entry to the performance and it just drew me in - I absolutely love seeing a performance not just an entry or song, the difference is all in the delivery.
You convey so much emotion not only through your faultless playing, or your the depth and tone through your voice - it's also the facial expressions and showing the emotion behind the lyrics, your telling the story with all the tools at your disposal and that makes a true performance in my opinion.
Your vocals really do stand out to me, it's the emotion and delivery style you choose at different moments - you have amazing control performing demanding vocal gymnastics throughout, showing skill that seems to come as a second nature and requires little thought to execute just a raw natural talent. - @krystle
5th Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Openmic Week 147 Original Song Dejenlos En Paz By Danieldedosd2 --- by @danieldedosd2
I love hearing the two of you together again :D you both just compliment each others performance so well, also have to mention that outstanding outro - the overlapping vocals and melody lines were just divine and expertly delivered, not to mention one of the hardest things to pull off live let alone right next to each other.
You guys just kicked ass with this song, though at times the tempo seems exhausting (as a singer I felt short of breath just watching lol, so well done on pulling that off so well) - the focus and control used to execute the breathing required for this song was beyond impressive, you both smashed it.
Then to find out it was an original I had no choice but to include you again this week, this song features a brilliant composition - and the stunning vocals with amazing melodies and harmonies, just perfect! - @krystle
Here's a screenshot of the rewards transferred to the winners this week.
