Steemit Open Mic is an online, live music venue to give musicians a chance to share their music with the Steemit community and get their music heard. It is growing larger every week thanks to all of you.
This week's entries have been split into three posts because we have so many entries that we broke the post size limit on Steemit!
This post is part one and this is
Steemit Open Mic Week 68 - See Who Played - Part 2
Steemit Open Mic Week 68 - See Who Played - Part 3
To see all the entries you'll have to go there too. The post was so big the website would not post it!
The number of entries shot up to a record 727 entries this week of which 398 are valid entries! Awesome guys!
Not all of the entries are in these posts though.
Due to the sheer numbers of entries this week we have only picked 298 of the best ones to put in these posts. If I included all posts it would require over 7 posts. Everyone who had a valid entry was supported even if you don't find your post in these pages and I hope you enjoy the diversity of music from around the world this week.
There have been a flush of new accounts downloading people's valid Open Mic entries, uploading them to a new YouTube account, and posting it as their own performance on their multiple Steemit accounts. Those will not be included and I have muted those accounts.
To the scammers doing this, muting your account means I will no longer see your posts so you are wasting yours and every one elses time continuing down that path.
We put a new rule in place that is designed to stop scammers, not singers as some people seemed to have interpreted this post.

Steemit Open Mic is growing so fast that a lot of people are entering without really reading the rules so I want to do a little house cleaning for those entering the contest.
The bigger this grows the easier it is to miss someone's entry post so following these rules makes us see you have entered so we can upvote you.
For more on the rules read, What Are The Rules To Enter Steemit Open Mic And Why Do We Have Rules Anyways?
Steemit Open Mic is a live music contest and we need to know that you are really playing or singing us a song for this contest in particular. That's why to qualify for prizes you must say "Steemit Open Mic Week" (next week number) at the beginning of your video just before you play or sing the song. If you don't or if you edit in later onto a prerecorded performance you will not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song then you MUST put the word "original" in your title. Original songs get a small bonus right now and it is easier to find all the original songs with the word added in the title.
The next thing that is very important it to begin your title with "Steemit Open Mic Week (the current week number)" and place that as the first words of your title or I may not be able to find your post at all.
Here is a perfect example of a correctly titled post to enter Steemit Open Mic for an original song.
This would be a perfectly titled post for a cover song entering the contest.
Theses posts are really easy to find in the feed and upvote them. They can easily be spotted so none of them get missed.
Also, @andybets from steemreports.com is working on a chart that is targeting those keywords to sort all entries by originals and covers.
It is SO cool and you can check it out with this sneak peak of the Steemit Open Mic Chart
NOTE: The order this chart lists the performances has no bearing on choosing the finalists. Just because a video is at the top doesn't mean they will win the contest.
Steemit Open Mic Week 68 performances are in and there's still time to vote for your favorites.
Great songs and performances this week. Have a listen to them below and be sure to show your support and upvote your favorites.

This post is part one and this is
Steemit Open Mic Week 68 - See Who Played - Part 2
Steemit Open Mic Week 68 - See Who Played - Part 3
I've been trying to watch them all - man, do you do anything else with your life? There is no way I won't start listening to week 69 submissions before the 68 list is exhausted. I get the feeling I was probably upvoting irresponsibly, so maybe it is for the best - just happy to not have to sort through what you rejected - I envy your job not one bit.
Hahaha! That's funny. This song says it all.
Do not try to watch them all at once. Do like me. I saw a few of them and kept them to see them all after.
Lool.. I have asked myself that question everytime, every week. Like these people do actually have their own lives. Man its crazy! They deserve the world for this.. But if they get the whole world where am I gonna stay? Well I guess the open mic studio haha.
@luzcypher has done a most phenomenal job here!
Yes, it is he who has had to use his finest discretion in distinguishing which amongst the valid entries to include in this week's "See Who Played" lists.
And by golly, even with nearly 300 entries selected, (and this is props to the growing number of really good entries) the quality of talent in this week's contest is simply AWESOME!
WOW! Fantastic that it's growing so fast!
Going to watch a few that catch my eye!
Glad to be part of this list! Thank you for everything you do @luzcypher
It's crazy how fast it's growing! It's only possible because of the fantastic talent on Steemit and the many hours the Open Mic team contributes to making this work. It's pretty damn cool, right?
Let me answer did you say cool? MAN it aint just cool, its AWESOME it gets BETTER EVERY WEEK..
So happy you are enjoying the music too.
In the days ahead, do be certain to review each of the judges top-5 picks and honorable mentions amongst all of the entrants in week #68 - of which ALL are listed so thoroughly here, by none other than our most esteemed host, @luzcypher!
In doing so, you will get a further and comprehensive, more condensed breakdown of exactly which entries truly stood out amongst the many worthy possibilities.
Do follow @krystle, @verbal-d, @soundlegion, and myself, @passion-ground to gain such insight and entertainment value with regard to all of these "soon to be revealed" most outstanding entries.
Shortly thereafter, our grand-master of ceremonies, @luzcypher - after taking everything into full consideration and account, will post the final winners of this weeks contest - granting much- deserved recognition and rewards to all of the chosen artists who have put in the work and effort to attain such status in making the "Open-Mic" grade - and taking their respective place within the realm of "SteemIt's" most sought-after musical seal of approval - which of course, resides within the very realm of the clearly unstoppable Open-Mic venue!

i watched some of the videos its good. I will listen to all of it. its awesome to have a part of it. I will try to make one. thank you soo much for sharing these videos.
Glad you enjoy them. I'm posting part 2 and 3 right now. It's a lot of musicians on Steemit all in one place.
Ha! Okay I have seen it. Thought you made a mistake was surprised cause I know you never make mistakes . #smiles
thank you sir
No link to enter people who played part 2 and part 3. Is it gonna be posted seperately?
I can only post after 5 minutes from making post 1.
The links are there now.
I can no longer make it in 1 post because there are too many entries, so many I cannot list them all.
Yeah copy
Mine wasnt upvoted https://steemit.com/openmic/@barineka/open-mic-challenge-week-68-original-song
Got it, thanks.
my entry is not in any post and was not voted either :( I did something wrong?
https://steemit.com/openmic/@introspectiva/steemit-open-mic-week-68-estaciones-emocionales-cancion-original
You did everything right. Thanks for entering. I don't know what's going on with steemit but sometimes posst don't show up on time they show up in my feed a couple days later than they were posted. I don't know why that's happening but they all seen to be posts from Africa, Indonesia, and India.
I upvoted you now.
Wow! So many entries. I though scores were in order of performance but thank you for this note: 'The order this chart lists the performances has no bearing on choosing the finalists. Just because a video is at the top doesn't mean they will win the contest.'
The quote you mentioned I was talking about the Open Mic Chart on SteemReports.com. Here's the link to that: http://www.steemreports.com/steemit-chart/openmic/
The order that the entries are listed on Open Mic is the order that they are posted and also have no bearing on the final selections.
it's great way of entertainment :) thanks for sharing
Wau demasiado lindo. Luzcypher. Haber concentrado tantos vídeos de músicos excelentes en un solo post es un gran regalo. Realmente es increíble que tengamos la oportunidad de ver todos esos buenos vídeos musicales sin pagar nada. Muchas gracias por tan excelente iniciativa.
Gracias.
Hours upon hours of great music video. Some wonderful musicians and talent thank you for making this available

here is my entrance, I think it has not been taken into account.
I do not know if I fail to comply with any of the rules of the contest.
If so, I would like to know.
Thank you very much and greetings.

Hey there @luzcypher! I don't seem to find my performance anywhere? Let me know if there were an issue with it, the tag, or the fact that it was uploaded on DTube and not Youtube.
