Steemit Open Mic Week 73 - Record Your Performance And Win Steem - Sponsored By @pfunk And @luzcypher

in #openmic7 years ago (edited)

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.

I want to thank all the talented people that have made the Open Mic contest such a joy to host. It is a pleasure listening to everyone's music and getting to know you guys. Steemit is SO cool like that.

NOTE TO SCAMMERS: I have closed most of the holes scammers have found to cheat the contest except for one. Now people are stealing valid entries from the current week and entering it as their own thinking that because the person in the video says the words Steemit Open Mic Week (current week number) that I will not notice it was already entered. This is the worst form of cheating possible and I have started flagging those caught doing this.

From now on, anyone entering Open Mic must say Steemit Open Mic Week Number (current week number) and their username to have a valid entry. This is to stop scammers from stealing your video and entering it as their own.

It is very important to say the words "Steemit Open Mic Week 73" AND YOUR USERNAME at the beginning of your recorded video. Posts without those words spoken in the beginning of your live, recorded video do not qualify for prizes.

From now on, anyone entering Open Mic must say Steemit Open Mic Week Number (current week number) and their username to have a valid entry. This is to stop scammers from stealing your video and entering it as their own.

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 73" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO

  • We're looking for real live musical performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. 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 73 at the start of it.

.

New Music Category Communities

Music Category communities are coming together on Steemit and if you're a music lover, please show support and join in the fun. Here are a few new places to find great music.

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

Cool, thanks. Amazing vocals on this track. I can hear your voice getting better each week. It's amazing to listen to.

Great rendition of this song. You turned a metal song into a folk song!

Thanks man!
That was my mission ;)

Unfortunetely I say my username in the end because I remembered the new rule by then. I hope it still counts.
Thanks for hosting the contest!

I also made a short clip with the music of my performance, you may check it out aswell:

Of course, it counts. The whole purpose of this is rule is to stop scammers from claiming your video as their own. We know you by name an would spot it if someone did that to your video. Just remember next week please.

https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/voices-of-open-mic

If it counts, why am I on none of the see who played lists? This way none of the judges will even know about my entry;)

A song about finding hope, inspiration and positivity in a world of corruption, cynicism and trolls...
Remind you guys of anything???

Here is our Open Mic offering this week - a song of mine with @drkent jamming along

"Land of Criminals"

Hello my fellow Steemians! Here is my entry for this week's Steemit Open Mic, a messy little breakup song called Not your Jesus:
https://steemit.com/openmic/@bennettitalia/steemit-open-mic-week-73-not-your-jesus-an-original-song-by-bennettitalia

Loved this song and the lyrics are great.

https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/voices-of-open-mic

😊 Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Hello everyone!! Grateful for the opportunity to share some good music with this great community. Thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for the creation of the contest and for the initiative and support for the Spanish-speaking community.

Here is the arrangement of this week's theme "Thousand Years" I hope you like it!!!

https://steemit.com/openmic/@kkarenmp/steemit-open-mic-week-73-thousand-years-cover-por-kkarenmp

Success to all the participantes

You need to add a link to your post :)

Thank you so much!!! I had forgotten to place it !!! Already did

very well done, great tone ;9), just like @steevc said you should probably post the youtube video to your blog, then link that post to the wk 73 announcement by @luzcypher in the reply section and add the additional link to the you tube video, I hope that makes sense to ya... It would be a shame not to have this song in the contest.

If you already thank you very much, I added it I had not placed it, it happened to me but I already put the link. Thank you so much

Oh my word! This gave me Goosebumps!!!
Such a beautiful sound.

It is nice to know that you like my presentation, really thank you very much for your comment, it is nice to read this type of comments, I will continue doing it with much passion

Hey guys! Here is my submission for this week. I covered Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri on the piano. I hope you enjoy! ❤️

Ps... I posted my video without reading the new rule about saying the username. I guess that’s what I get for posting without actually reading the page first! If that disqualifies my entry, I totally understand. I hope you know it’s really me though! 😊 I’ll be sure to implement that starting next week.

Beautiful cover!!! I really liked it!!! Regards and Blessings

We would know if someone tried to claim your video as their own, the reason this rule was added. We know you by name now. Please remember next week.

https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/voices-of-open-mic

Hi Luzcypher - here is my entry for Week 73 - I only saw the new rules tonight but my entry was already up. My user name is @edenmichelle - I hope my entry will still be valid if I just used my name which is the same as my user name
https://steemit.com/openmic/@edenmichelle/steemit-open-mic-week-73-original-song-on-my-mind-by-eden-michelle

The whole idea of this rule is to catch scammers who steal videos from other valid entries and claim them as their own. I know, weird, right?

You don't need to worry because we know you by name now and would know if someone tried that with your video. Please, just remember next week. Thanks

https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/voices-of-open-mic

Thank you @luzcypher - yes, sorry I only saw that afterwards - but we took the rule for our joint submission of "Silhouette" - and thanks for your positive words about that song

@luzcypher and @pfunk A thousand thanks for this initiative !!! ;)

Hola Steemers! acá mi primera participación. Espero que les guste ;)

https://steemit.com/openmic/@maruvalerio/steemit-open-mic-week-73-monsieur-perine-nuestra-cancion-cover

love this! me encanta! que increible producion chicas - muy bien!

Muchas gracias!

love your groove, and what an impressive performance!

Thanks so much @marctwang !
I'm happy you dig the groove, buds! 🎶

here's my #originalsong submission for Open Mic #73! hope you all like it! it's called "Future" and in the post you can read about the inspiration for the song, but here's a little insight:

The song is called Future and is inspired by aspirational futurists and dreams of interplanetary habitations and species, fun intergalactic travels, and what it would feel like if global warming really did destroy the planet we call home. It builds upon dreamers' dreams and environmentalists' fears, and turns science into some sort of nostalgic love song for our ears and brains to consider:

What would it be like if catastrophic global warming really did happen - what would it feel like to be living on another planet in the future and reflecting back to our time on earth ?
