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 64" 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 64" 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 64 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

- @music-trail team is part of the SteemTrail project, curating good music you can find 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.
Please contact @luzcypher in SteemitChat for any further questions you may have and you can post your entry there too. https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic

Esteemed Steemians :) It's week 64 of the #steemit #openmic challenge and today I play Valerie, as originally composed by the Zutons and later reinterpreted by Amy Winehouse.
As always, a big THANK YOU to @luzcypher, @pfunk, and all the openmic judges for making this contest as awesome as it is.
https://steemit.com/openmic/@raci/steemit-open-mic-week-64-valerie-the-zutons-amy-winehouse
Well done...heartfelt reminder of the ultra talented and troubled Amy Winehouse. Thanks for your rendition.
Peace.
Thank you for your kind words 😊 I am glad you like it
Yep...it certainly makes a lot more sense infinitesimally hearing male vocals linked to this song.
Best regards!
Peace.
Haha that's right 😆

Thanks for listening !
Sounds good man! What guitar are you using? It's got a beautiful open sound.
Thanks it is a low end Martin 000 size...not a solid wood guitar but it is old and the top is broken in. It is on its last legs and needs work like a full fret job; not really worth it so I am needing a new guitar soon. It helps it sound open that I tune two steps down to a D instead of an E...also you can see that I have a cloth stuffed in the sound hole...somehow it helps with the tinny sound caused by the fret wear.Peace
Thats cool. Thanks for pointing out the little details, which I would've never noticed. I hope you're going to keep this even if you get a new one?
For sure...someday if I have the cash I will get it fixed.
Good job !
Thanks very much thanks for checking me out!
Good afternon. Aquí mi presentación.
