Special thanks to @meno 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.

We Love You All! and the winners are... 1st Place You won 80 Steem Steemit Open Mic Week 106 For A While Now Original Song --- by @ingridkorneelia Not the first time I've found myself loving @ingridkornelia's vocal talents. This time however, she showed up with a beautiful original tune, full of emotion and delivered brilliantly. This is the kind of songwriting that makes me love our community. - @meno "oh my just love your voice @ingridkorneelia so sweet just a soothing piece of heaven, great song as well just wowed. love it! I can see your "wild heart and sensitive soul" making US feel" - @soundlegion Easily your most captivating, pleasure-lingering and melodically soothing original heartfelt song that you have shared with us today. Your vocals are luring us in and you deliver such a swaying and flowing sweetness. Truly a gift and musical moment to appreciate. - @verbal-d holy hell those vocals, what are you doing there? It's like your hitting harmonic notes, it's truly breathtaking and I am just a little stunned by the beauty - well, please share more that was just divine! - @krystle 2nd Place You won 40 Steem Steemit Open Mic Week 106 Original Skylit Eyes --- by @addiesworld " I am so glad to see and hear you again this week @addiesworld i love your voice every single time and your songwriting is fantastic, I am a huge fan - NO Doubt" - @soundlegion I got floored, that's the best way to describe it. When the notes go high, and the stab at the hurt is blunt, I got floored. I absolutely adored this entry from @addiesworld, an original that deserves all the praise. - @meno This was a moving and emotionally charged original hit song from you. You sang with such beautifully momentous passion, sweet moving lyrics, and that piano composition fit your vocals perfectly. You are levels beyond a one hit wonder and you continue to show and prove your undeniable skills and inspiring talent with ease. What a great impactful gift to bless your boyfriend with. Thanks for sharing this tenderly intimate and sentimentally personal song with us. - @verbal-d You have soulful depth in you lower range, but man when you belt it out the emotion is raw and just sucks me in completely - I love that your originals really show off the extent of your vocal range and control, it can be hard to get the balance right. - @krystle 3rd Place You won 26 Steem Steemit Open mic week 106 / HURT (cover Christina Aguilera) by @dianakyv --- by @dianakyv In my top five for a second consecutive week, Diana crushed it again with this awesome vocal cover of “Hurt.” - @passion-ground This was not an easy song to cover, not at all, and Diana did fantastic. I clicked on this asking myself, is this the song I think it is? Not only did she pull it off, she showed up!! Absolutely brilliant, some of the best vocal performances I've witnesses since I started judging this contest. - @meno You chose a very difficult song to sing and performed it very well. You poured your all into this one and it showed and provides inspiration. It takes passion and intensity to bring a song of this caliber to life and it was a joy listening to your soul lament with these beautifully sad lyrics and melancholic melodies. Keep displaying your impressive vocals, you are challenging yourself more and more and growing better as a musician because of it. Thanks again for sharing this, great choice of song. - @verbal-d Well I have wanted to perform this song for as long as I can remember, but hearing you sing it in just such a stunning way blew me away - you really have a truly phenomenal voice. Your accompaniment as always was just perfection, I love hearing a brilliant guitarist nail a piece of music as delicate as that one - he made the emotion and tension work amazingly. You have an incredible vocal range and this song really displays it wonderfully, not to mention the power you hold at the top of your range - its really beautiful to hear and take in. - @krystle 4th Place You won 26 Steem Steemit Open Mic Week 106: "Fever Dream" (Iron and Wine Cover) by @k0wsk1 --- by @k0wsk1 "The guitar melody on this was just stunning I was taken in right away and I love your voice on this track so beautiful you delivered a special piece here for us my friend I was very much into it a couple of times I love the vocal effect, works so nicely with this tune and your voice" - @soundlegion 5th Place You won 26 Steem Steemit Openmic Week 106 cover "Quedate" plays @mariajruizb --- by @mariajruizb *Maria is on fire! * - @passion-ground This was a very splendid interpretation of Quédate, your chemistry with @danieldedosd2 is clear and smoothly obvious. You both create such wonderful music together and your harmonies were on point as they were charming. You delivered this cover with life and fullness of honeyed sound and showed your musicality and experience once again. Thank you for another great entry. - @verbal-d Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week. Congratulation Everyone And Thanks For Playing Steemit Open Mic.

Cada vez que en estos post de @luzcypher encuentro venezolanos la alegría y el orgullo me invaden un poco normalmente porque además comprendo como se siente la emoción (aunque yo solo haya entrado 2 veces) y se lo que significa en ayuda algún premio de estos viviendo en Venezuela.

Pero si a quien encuentro es a tu prima @dianakyv o a vos mi querida @mariajruizb la sensación es mas linda aún. Imaginate encontrarlas a las 2 juntas jajajajaja Dios las bendiga a ambas! un abrazo enorme! Felicidades

como Barquisimetano siempre he dicho que mi ciudad es la capital musical de Venezuela, pero con el OpenMic he visto que no solo eso sino que Venezuela es la capital musical del mundo <3 amo ver a mis paisanos aqui demostrando todo lo que tienen, cantando con el corazón y ganando lo que merecen! un abrazo a todos

[mariajruizb]

La capital musical de Venezuela siempre fue Cumaná. Desde hace muy pocos años crearon un mito con Barquisimeto. Incluso el teatro mas importante del pais durante la colonia estuvo en la Provincia de Cumaná. La primera opera en la historia se presentó alli. Saludos!!!
