A great big thanks to @xeldal who delegated over 20,000 Steem Power to my account in support of Steemit Open Mic. Great news for people entering the contest because now an upvote rewards you more.
When asked why they delegated Steem to my account the response was:
I've got it just sitting here and I'm thinking it does more good for everyone if I delegate it to people who bring life to the network. Plus, it makes me happy.
We all thank you for that.

Special thanks to @jessamynorchard, @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, and @passion-ground for help judging the contest this week. Great job guys.
Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connection on Steemit through music. Watching the collaboration 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.

Open Mic Week 64 Or Leva Ao Vento By Lisa And Rhavi Or Original Song --- by @lisamalletart
It’s been a while since they’ve topped the charts, but Lisa and @rhavi have done it once again with “Leva ao Vento! Together, their free-flowing positive vibes bring this passionate fun-filled percussive song to life. Their harmonies and overall chemistry are simply captivating. For that and so much more, Lisa and Rhavi get my top spot this week. -- @passion-ground
*"These guys are also not strangers to our top picks, coming in hot again this week another brilliantly put together original piece. This one right here has groove all over it I was really getting into it with head bob listening to this one right here. Vocals are spot on to perfection, and harmonies perfect as well, I just cant get over how great you guys blend, he never over powers on those backings and she carries that main so right" * -- @soundlegion
@lisamalletart’s "Leva Ao Vento” Original Song
You, the power couple, have done it again. You’re synchronocity and ebb and flow vibing is such a joy to watch. You truly love performing and sharing music and you do so with such precise skill and soulful singing and playing. It is effortless and your entries are always high quality and make you feel one with nature with the organic approach.

3rd Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 64 Aunque Sea Poco Cover --- by @nestorchacin
Nestor and company really brought it to the table this week with their stunning performance of “Aunque Sea Poco.” Trust me; there was nothing small about the performance of these three rather talented gentlemen! What a great song choice to cover! All three vocal leads in concert with their respective harmonies just floored me! The guitar playing and recording was also brilliant. - @passion-ground
@nestorchacin’s "Aunque Sea Poco Cover Song
I loved the fact that you all are so in sync, (sorry, bad pun?) I didn’t mean to reference any similar groups, but I do enjoy the chemistry you have. Just the right amount of singing from each of you three, individually, as well as a whole. You know you are skillfully talented, the harmonies are silk smooth, and the overall passionate and energetic performances convey a potent believability even to people who speak a different language. You all did great, keep the entries flowing through. - @verbal-l
4th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 64 Shawn Mendes Mercy Jared Khamanah Cover --- by @jaredkhamanah
You gave a really good entry and from the beginning I could tell you could sing and about almost a minute in, you turned up your conviction and poured your all into the song belting out emotions that connect wth the soul. Really nice performance and guitar playing, you owned this entry entirely and the energy in this that you share is a force to respect and appreciate. Your warm vocal textures, presence, artistic driving style and your steady singing control earned you a top spot. Keep playing and singing, I look forward to your next entry, if you have any originals please share them - @verbal-d
Ok so I am a sucker for fancy vocal gymnastics and embellished vocals, as a singer I love the challenge and as a listener I like the varied texture it adds to music - your song fulfills all my needs to make a perfect song. I love the varied softer verses then smashing it out in the chorus, I love this song and you just performed the hell out of it! I absolutely love your vocal control and range, but also the power you have hidden beneath the surface - you can feel the emotion in the softer sections and you really hit the tone and emotion of the more passionate/powerful chorus.
This was a brilliant entry, especially considering it's only your second week entering the contest - you just blew me away. I can't wait to hear more from you soon, keep it up that voice of yours is amazing! - @krystle
5th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 64 Stay With Me Sam Smith Cover By Me Yourmercury --- by @yourmercury
@yourmercury‘s "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith Cover Song
I am so happy you entered in for the second time in a row. Your last entry was solid, but this entry really showcased your singing abilities. You were so much more smooth and on point with the high end falsetto notes and you do Sam Smith’s song justice. You are singing into a mediocre headphone mic and it still sounds amazing. I can only imagine how great your entries would be with the proper equipment to enhance the tonalities and qualities of your superbly ranged vocals. Keep up the great entries. - @verbal-d
I am just simply in awe of this entry this week, this guy has a simply amazing voice and his control is phenomenal - I just can't get enough of it. I did struggle this week, but as soon as I heard you sing I knew I had a place reserved - as I continued through the entrants your entry just stayed with me and I had no choice you belonged in the top five this week.
I was already a big fan of this song, I love to hit the highs and man did I love to hear those highs from you - you have a truly insane falsetto, you have such a beautiful timber to your voice.
The control required to pull of a song like this is phenomenal, by the end most voices would be exhausted - but with a Sam Smith cover, that's when you need to pull out the super high notes and embellishments and you killed it. I love it when someone's first ever entry just blows you away, the joy it brings me as a judge t know we have a new big player in this game - I get excited just to think what else you will bring to the open mic table, how will you amaze us next time!
You conveyed the emotion in the song perfectly, the whole performance was just a pleasure to see and hear. I really can't wait to see what you have for us next week, keep it up you have an amazing gift keep sharing it with the world! - @krystle
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
Here are the performers this week
This week there was a record-breaking 153 entries to Steemit Open Mic! So many we had to make 2 posts to see them all. We reached the size limit of a Steemit post!

I see you are new here. Welcome to Steemit.
Asking people to follow you on Steemit and begging for help is not the right approach to having a successful account.
It is much better to create good content so they want to follow you and read your content.
This may help and I also suggest you read Steemit etiquette before you hurt your reputation.
