Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
It is very important to say the words "Steemit Open Mic Week 60" at the beginning of your recorded video and as the first words of your post title. Posts without that at the beginning of the title are hard to find in the feed and we may miss your post. Posts without those words spoken in the beginning of your live, recorded video do not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song by you it is very important you put the word "original" in the title and "originalmusic" as the second tag of your post
Here is an example of a correctly titled post.
These requirements make it easier for judges and curators to find your posts and reward you for original songs. Ignoring these requirements only hurt your chances of earning rewards.

Steemit Open Mic Process
Keeping it short and sweet, here is the flow of considerations for the Steemit Open Mic contest:-
Need to promote community participation in the spirit of Steemit Open Mic night.
So.. Steemit Open Mic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging are encouraged.
However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for Steemit Open Mic night.
- So.. community voting as the first filter, before internal voting.
- Another problem: late submissions are usually disadvantaged as they get less attention on the contest post.
- So.. we've tried to mitigate such a problem by including unique votes of Steemit Open Mic submissions in their own blog posts.
IT IS CRUCIAL WHEN YOU RECORD YOUR VIDEO THAT YOU SAY "STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 60" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO We're looking for real live performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. In the future they will be disqualified from the contest.
If you want a chance to earn the prize, make a new video and say STEEMIT OPEN MIC Week 60 at the start of it.
You can sing acapella if you don't play an instrument or sing to a recording if you want and still enter Open Mic.
How To Enter Steemit Open Mic Night
In a well lit quiet room, use your cell phone to record your performance. See recording tips here and here

Suggestion: openmic must be the first tag to enter open mic, but adding other music-related tags (such as music, music-trail) may help your post get more attention and perhaps even get curated by those music curators.
If your song is an original song, add orginalmusic as your 2nd tag. This will help curators know it is an original song which currently pays a Steem bonus to you.
Thank you all for the participation!
Thank you for the positive support from the Steemit community and special thanks to @kevinwong for his guidance, encouragement and support and @verbal-d for writing a song that inspired the idea and @pfunk for helping and supporting Open Mic.

Hello everyone!
For this weeks openmic I do a classic Frank Sinatra song.
Many of the classic Sinatra songs were standards even before he recorded them.
But this particular song was one he introduced in the movie he starred in,
"The Joker Is Wild."
I hope I do it justice in my vocal interpretation of this song.
Thanks for Listening.
Tom

Hej Steemians! This is my cover of „With or Without You“ by U2 for the STEEMIT Open Mic Week 60, performed in the lovely city of Copenhagen. Enjoy :)

Nice one. Very nice.
Thank you so much! I am happy to hear you like it 😊
Cool song, very laid back presentation ! And I love how you give us a glimpse of your hometown every week.
Thanks @geenaizzy, I am happy to hear you like it 😊
I agree with them @raci this is another job well done! It's always a pleasure hearing your performance although I was not as familiar with this piece as I was with the previous ones, I still very much enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for the kind words @the21plus, I am glad you enjoyed that one :)
I love this song. Probably my absolute favorite from radiohead. Great job!!!!
Thank you! Are you going to be able to get one in this week? I know how it is when you're staying somewhere that's not home and you want to make music. I just got settled in to a new place myself.
I'm working on an original song for this week. Almost had it last night but my phone died in the middle of recording it... Gotta try again.
Great sad song and beautiful pup, she looks so much like the dog I had. Stay warm an der toasty you two!
Thank you so much! We are doing our best, but we are both native Floridians in Colorado. It's an adjustment.
Nice one.
Thanks!

My pleasure,
Nice to be your friend here at Steemit.I already followed you to see all of your future blogs!The community needs cool people like you :)
I wish you more followers and friends!Don't forget to follow, resteem and upvote me too @laique so that we can be friend forever :D
I see you are new here. Welcome to Steemit.
Asking people to follow you on Steemit is not the right approach to having a successful account.
It is much better to create good content so they want to follow you.
This may help and I also suggest you read Steemit etiquette before you hurt your reputation.
There are a lot of people new to Steemit that think having a lot of followers is the path to making money here but not if you ask people to follow you to follow them.
Still don't believe me? Then read this
As simple as singing a song might look like, it takes the only talented to turn a song into a music 🎶, come let's openDmic!
"This time I'll share an Original Composition, his name is "Memories". It is inspired by those revived memories, when you are in a place and you feel that you have been there before, or when you perceive an aroma and it brings back memories of childhood."
https://steemit.com/openmic/@joedukeg/steemit-open-mic-week-60-memories-original-composition
I'll hope all of you like it.
Nice playing.
