Special thanks to @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, @passion-ground, and @meno 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 Week 75 There Is Love Original Song --- by @pedromrmourato
this is the first original song you all have shared with us and I knew it would be a masterpiece after witnessing such an accumulation of your talents and gifts within the music realm from your previous open mic entries. You ticked all the boxes of what a high quality and memorable performance is in essence. For an entry of such high caliber, my stringed words of poetry fail to stir up anything profound or inspiring to describe how wonderful this song is. Your vocals effortlessly surge emotions and conviction with a well controlled, yet seemingly limitless flow. The guitar and bass were just the right balance with clever and creative chords and set the canvas for you to paint on fluidly. You have inspired many of us and we thank you for this gem. - @verbal-d
"Wow I been blown away from first listen on the musical talents of @pedromrmourato This week they came in with an original song and knocked it out of the park. I love how the lead singer introduced the band and himself, I love the scene and the filter, the outfits, absolute A+ of a song. " - @soundlegion
*One of the best performances I have seen on Open Mic. * - @luzcypher
*I mean, come on, man – this performance is simply “the BOMB!”. You just have to listen, people – shortly thereafter, there will be no doubt that this particular entry was far and away the standout amongst all of the top tier entries for week #75. You guys killed it here, dudes – NICE * - @passion-ground
I absolutely loved everything about this entry, the energy, the lyrics the emotion conveyed in the voice. I can't find a thing I don't absolutely love about this song and performance. I don't know where @pedromrmourato came from but I'm so happy he gave us this musical gem this week. I can't wait to hear what other entries are to come from Pedro. - @meno
2nd Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 75 City At Night Original By Petrajordan --- by @petrajordan
I had my suspicion that @petrajordan was leaving her best for later and I was right. Her entry is absolutely stunning, even thought the lyrics swim in seas of emotional confusion and nostalgia I can't help but to find the arrangement, the vocal approach and the soulfulness sexy.
The piano playing and how it plays with the timing as the changes flow smoothly is something to admire being a musician, but if you are not one, you would not even recognize the difficulty of the arrangement. Absolutely brilliant Petra, please more of this. - @meno
PJ, as I like to call her, is a relative newcomer to the Open-Mic. Here in week 75, she graces us with the first of hopefully many more original songs! PJ is a true artist, and you really must hit play and listen to her “City at Night” composition to fully appreciate the talent, creativity, and artistry that this special individual has been blessed with. You go, PJ! - @passion-gound
I wonderful performance and song and I look forward to hearing more from you next week. Really exciting stuff! - @luzcypher
3rd Place
Open Mic Week 75 Or Go Long Hodle Everyday Lisa And Rhavi Video --- by @rhavi
The first thing I noticed here was Tom’s rather skillful guitar intro, - and in a non-standard “custom tuning” no less! Thereafter, the lyrics and melody he begins to sing in the first verse have all of the earmarks of an instant “hit!”
"Spot on timing when these two sing together! I am in love with these really catchy and fun positive uplifting tunes you bring to the table guys. :) Loved how you came in together and the repeat harm of the word Go was so damn entertaining and you both have just exploding good vibes coming off of you, love the smiles you are infectious! " - @soundlegion
Really good to see you back. Loved your performance this week - @luzcypher
The beautiful simplicity and catchy, melodic singing you both immerse us with is filled with positive vibes, good energy, and hopefulness for the long term haul for us early adopters. Your harmonies and clearly evident chemistry make this such a compelling, fun and welcoming entry that would boost the mood of even the worst of day traders who will learn to Hodl and join us on our journey to success and financial freedom. You both never fail to amaze, and your love for music and willingness to share your countless originals with the Open Mic Community makes you such valued members here on Steemit as well as in the world. Thank you for the uplifting words and encouraging thoughts weaved wonderfully in a moderately timed tune. Definitely has long term high replay value and is one for the Crypto-Music playlist. Looking forward to your next creation . - @verbal-d
4th Place
Steemit Openmic Week 75 Original Song Georgia With Ben Lee --- by @danieldyemusic
"These two are awesome together! love the vocal blending, sounds pretty awesome the way that carried in the video the vocals and the drums, this worked and I loved it, great tune you guys are amazing" - @soundlegion
I love seeing collaborations between Steemians and this one sounds so good. Keep up the good work guys. - @luzcypher
Wow, man! Daniel and Ben collaborating yet again! I was just taken by the lyrical content, the melodic transitions, and yes – the harmonies, and well, yeah, Ben’s skills with the brushes on that golden drum kit! Folks, you most definitely need to click play here people, and check out one of the finest Open-Mic Collaborations to date! Beautiful work, Daniel & Ben! - @passion-ground
5th Place
Steemit Openmic Week 75 Original Song The Voice That S Within --- by @builtinfire
"Love the voice here. Really powerful southern rock vocals, and a killer tune, great writing, love this downtempo feel from you, I like the change up from last weeks energy vocals, into more a mood, cant wait to see what else you got cooking up" - @soundlegion
I remember when I had first heard your Original Week 74 entry "Finding My Way Back Home" and I heard the potential you had and could really appreciate your passion and dedication to the performance of your music, and you have the songwriting formula down. I know you have heard many compliments and references to Nickelback, Creed, Bush, and even ACDC. You just remind people of other very talented artists just as you clearly are. There's no denying you have a story to tell and you convey it in such compelling and moving compositions like this poetically written song. This may not be my daily genre, but I know good music when I hear it, and regardless of genre, good music is a universal language that can speak to the hearts and souls of anyone willing to listen. It catches people off guard when you waken them up with something profound. Keep up the great original songwriting. Thank you for this gem, I look forward to your next one. - @verbal-d
Great song and the vocals really fit the song well. Loved it and can't wait to hear more. - @luzcypher
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.

Hey guys! I have to thank all of you for all the "love" you've been giving me since the first entry back on week 71. I never expected to be noticed so fast among all the great entries the OpenMic has every week. So, i just want to thank all the juris, and especially @luzcypher for the amazing job he's been doing, and the huge amount of time spent every week so that all the community can enjoy this. I'm sure if it wasn't for the OpenMic, many of us here that today have the chance to share our music and get listened, would be around Steemit without getting noticed, drowning in the sea of new posts everyday... This is the great value of the OpenMic contest in my opinion, give us, musicians, visibility and an opportunity to stand up in the middle of everything that happens on Steemit everyday. So for that, I can thank you guys enough! And the only thing I can promise is to keep working every week to bring you something you can enjoy, and add something to this community, that grows every week in number and talent! Cheers! See you all in a couple of days!
This is exactly why I do this too. For the music community. I'm so glad we found each other here. Through music, we are creating a worldwide family of musicians. Like magical Steemweavers.
Congratulations, thanks for the wonderful music, and can't wait to hear what you play next.
Not a surprise to see those guys win. Open mic is moving to another level, but I hope it will always have a place for the bedroom musicians.
Let me try this tonight......
Lady, wanne hear some bedroom music by me .. LOL
Great to have you all here at steemit
Fear not, my friend. The last few weeks there has been ‘bedroom musicians’ beating professional musicians each week for the top positions.
Plus I’ve noticed many bedroom musicians earning vastly more steem than many pro musicians.
Anyway, it’s really just about having a platform for everyone to share music, rather than the competition aspect.
Raising the bar higher is good for every body.
🙏🏽🎶👌🏽👍🏽🎼
Bedroom musicians sound so sexy.
I second that..
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! You made my day, week, month, my present moment - which is the only thing there ever is anyway ;) My 3rd entry ever to OM and already up there in the OM clouds! This is gonna be challenging to top but I will do my best ;)
A HUUUUGE (not “his” pronounciation) THANK YOU to all the judges for all your hard work and support - @luzcypher, @passion-ground, @meno, @soundlegion, @verbal-d, @krystle, @pfunk! It really empowers us musicians and that is incredibly invaluable! Thank you, merci, ďakujem 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
And massive congrats to all the other winners! You guys totally deserved it! @pedromrmourato, @rhavi, @danieldyemusic and @builtinfire - it’s an honor to share the winning prizes with you!
I can go back to bed now and sleep - or not cause of the excitement ☺️
Long live Steemit Open Mic🎤🎤🎤
Thanks for the wonderful music and congratulations.
Thank you so much @luzcypher and @pfunk! Thanks to all the judges for their hard work and time. Openmic is such a great community! And thank you to @benleemusic!!!!
