Open Mic Week 70 My Top 5 Judges Selection
--- by @krystle
Special thanks to @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.

1st Place
Steemit Openmic Semana 70 Original Me Va Mejor Jose Cabrera
--- by @joseacabrerav
*Dude seriously loved every single second of this entry, you have just created a masterpiece - and I am beyond thrilled I got to experience it.
I love your vocals, your range and control are always sublime - as is your playing and it was a thrill to get to see you with a full band, just an all round brilliant entry!
You should know by now I am a big fan of yours and your music, it is great to see you stepping it like this - I see big things ahead for you my friend and I can't wait to hear all about it, look forward to what you share next.* - @krystle
Surrounded by an adept group of musicians and capable producers, his original rendition of “Me Va Mejor” came to life in such a way that I simply could not ignore. For all of his past efforts, and specifically for this one, Jose’ finds himself sitting at the very top of my selections for week 70. - @passion-ground
"I believe we have heard this song from Jose in the past but he brings it back to us fresh and sounding absolutely stunning with a full band. Great performance, fantastic video presentation. I can see a lot of heart goes into this music and I have huge respects for this artist. Truly great performance from one of our openmic stars ;)" - @soundlegion
*Easily one of your best songs as I have previously stated as well as your best performance. This original has been a favourite of mine for awhile and I am so glad you got a whole band together to truly bring this wonderful masterpiece to life. The vibe and energy in the studio is inspiring and I can tell you were in the zone performing this one with mind, heart and soul. The positivity and soulfullness in this song is contagious and can definitely be played at many festive events to waken people's liveliness up. The visual presentation and sound quality enhanced this experience to the maximum. And I thank you for once again raising the standards for the open mic to make our judging process that much easier.> - @verbal-d
2nd Place
Steemit Openmic Week 70 Love Dominiqueguitars Original Song
--- by @dominiqueguitars
In his post, although he’s been absent for the last 2-weeks, Dominique share’s with us a recent acquisition – a new baby girl - in the form of a guitar that is, which he’s aptly named, Monique! It appears that the acquisition of this instrument has inspired him to write an “original song,” and for that, I am ever-so-grateful! Perched atop a table in what appears to be a restaurant of sorts, Dominique serenades us with a most spectacular and moving performance with his newly acquired, Monique. His vocal range and melodic musings got the better of me, and as such, our esteemed Sir Dominique has earned himself the number 2 spot in my line up this week. - @passion-ground
*What an absolutely stunningly beautiful song, I was taken on a beautiful journey - your vocals are just amazing, you look like your whole now with your guitar in hand.
I loved this entry so much, it'e even more impressive given you wrote it - I just can't wait to hear more from you, you have a clear talent and I am excited to see the possibilities ahead of us.* - @krystle
3rd Place
Open Mic Weeks 70 One Last Story Original Song
--- by @iqbalubit
*What a beautiful song and performance. Your vocals on this sound so good and full of emotion. Absolutely love it! * - @luzcypher
*For this entry I was sold the instant I heard those amazingly flawless vocals, I am a sucker for vocal control and you just slayed that song perfectly.
The vocal arrangement is just sublime, I love the vocal gymnastics and how perfectly they fit with you lyrics and playing - just an all round perfect entry.
I am looking forward to hearing more from you soon, you have a real gift so thank you for sharing it with us. @krystle
4th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 70 What S Good Is Good Benleemusic Original Song
--- by @benleemusic
Composition, lyrics, production quality, performance skills, and just a great overall message embedded in a rather engaging and catchy song. For those reasons and those reasons alone, Ben Lee has handily carved out a spot within my top-5 here in week 70. Great song, Ben! I truly loved it! - @passion-ground
Loved the song and your playing. I hope we hear more of your music soon. - @luzcypher
5th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 70 Slowed By Notes Original Song Darren Claxton
--- by @mrbloom
This is normally not my genre or area of expertise but I know a good songwriter when I hear one and you definitely have talent and skill. This was a very good entry and you are a natural at performing, plus it was a really nice original song that gives a feel good vibe and an easy going sound. Thanks for sharing and best of skill next time you enter, we look forward to it. - @verbal-d
A man of few words, Mr. Bloom states his case quite eloquently thru his original rendition of “Slowed by Notes.” His vocals are so on point, bringing his brilliantly crafted melodies to life in a rather compelling way. Needless to say, Darren, or “Mr. Bloom” as he’s otherwise known, could not be ignored, and as such, I’ve placed him here in my number 4-slot for week 70. -@passion-ground
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.

The 5th place should have been 2d... I personally preferred him over the others. More personality, more feeling, more rhythm, less boring, it's clear that music is totally subjective and you won't find the same things when you look for uniqueness and personality than when you look for just technique...
Thank you for being relentless @luzcypher!
Thank you too for your relentless collection of songs @tarotbyfergus.
I'm truly humbled to be in such amazing company as the other top 5'ers
Kindest
DarrenI want to thank everyone who voted for my #song 'Slowed By Notes' and of course to the #judges @passion-ground @verbal-d and the legend that is @luzcypher
Congratulations once again and thanks for the music. Really loving it.
@luzcypher last night I learned about your open mic contest and would love to compete as a comedian. Could you let me know how to get other and myself involved in this great opertunity.

I'm completely speechless right now... Y'all got me so overwhelmed that my lyrics have all gone on vacation... but before this last one would join them let me quickly say a very big thank you to:

@joseacabrerav is the stuff! @verbal-d style Bonus haiku (called Lesson from Previous Weeks):
Acoustic guitar
And a melancholy song
In a minor key
It seems I am having too much fun! I think I have to ditch my friends, grab an acoustic and find that place inside where I am crying. But then, @joseacabrerav makes a good case for not ditching my friends.
Hahahaha!
Congratulation to my friend @iqbalubit for 3rd place. You do it well bro!!!
I will soon have an instrument, wait for my entry :)
