Competition got thick this week but our winner was...
@topkpop - with her fantabulous Alicia Keys "Fallin" performance. Hittin those high notes like it's second nature, wow! We're guessing you didn't need the music for this one, you looked real comfortable. 4.3 total out of 5. Great job! We hope to see you again this week!
Second place
@yusaymon with Jamiroquai - "Virtual Insanity" and wow did you ever get into character! You are really performer and we love seeing you over here! Your final score was 4.1. Happy you joined us and look forward to seeing you again this week!
Third place
@the21plus with her (and her family's) soulful Alicia Keys "Fallin" cover. The judges have you with a final score of 3.8 and we lovee, love, LOVE seeing your mamsita and lil sis harmonizing together with you! Hope to have you back this week!
All of your awards will be sent in the next couple of days, thank you all for competing!

Last minute entry! I waited most of the week because I just couldn't decide what to sing. This was an interesting week as the song I chose I didn't really know very well. Loved all the great entries this week! Hope to see everyone again next week.
Post: https://steemit.com/karaokecontest/@topkpop/karaoke-contest-week-6-hello-adele
Noooooooommm!
OMG <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
There you are...So how I missed you in my feed! Nice performance!
Great job, I think you'd have a much better sound in the lower notes if you pitched the whole song up a tone
Ooh that's a good suggestion. I am not gonna lie I have never really pitched a song differently than what it was...dunno why, it always sounds a bit off to me. But I may have to try it because yes I definitely can't hit the lower notes that well sometimes
Holy shit K-Pop, and a cold?
Damn aren't you sweet! Had quite a bit of a stuffed nose yes, glad I could entertain though and apparently sounded decent. :)
I feel ya tho, had a head cold and been coughing all week myself...those frign vapor trails lol
lol colds sucks. Hope you stop coughing and whatnot soon :)
Wow that's awesome! Thanks. I absolutely loved that song I did as you can tell :) Love these weeks options, gotta figure out which one I will do. As long as I have power before the deadline I will definitely be putting in a submission. Congrats to the other winners as well! Glad there are some new faces showing up as well.
ok, Spoonman is tough to sing but I think I will give a try!! ;-)
Really cool!
This makes me smile:) Ha ha funny:)
DO IT!!! :D
I canΒ΄t believe it :D Thank u so much <3 <3 <3
Great job @yusaymon :) Look forward to your submission this week.
Oh my gosh do y'all want to hear a male version of Adele's hello? I might have to jump in on this one...
I think that would be awesome!
Wow check out these bad asses. You guys are really rockstars. I'm so glad there is a platform for you all thanks to our very own @enginewitty. Congrats @topkpop
Thanks @thequeendizzle, You should join us too :)
Hhmmm maybe
Awww...just feeding the need hun. Where is your entry????
#punkbeeotch
I knew it! Congratulations @topkpop you really sound great. :)
Thanks @beng05 for the compliment. Are you going to join us this week?
Really AWESOME! Thank you!!! Congrats @topkpop and @yusaymon! Great performances to the both of you!
Great job @the21plus ! Thanks :) I see a song that might have your name on it this week, look forward to hearing you sing it :)
You should pick from different genres every once in a while. It would be very interesting to see an alternative song, a pop song, and a country song compete together.
Those are great ideas! There are song/artist suggestions asked for every Saturday I believe, you should post a whole bunch of different ones every week :)
Cool thanks I didn't know that!
Wow! @golimbi
Good luck girl
