Steemit Open Mic Week 59
My Top 5 In Order
As one of the 5 judges, and as an original artist also, I aim to represent the best original artists in this contest from our wonderful Steemit community. I am keeping my ears open for cover artists as well, don't worry but creating an original song is indeed impressive, especially if executed and performed well. Best of skill and performance to you all next week. This week had many many gems and wonderful music to heal the soul and move the hearts, and there were still many talented performers who entered, so forgive me if I didn't list you, I definitely heard everyone's entries. See you next week!
1. @denis.savisko’s ”Brand New Day” Cover Song
The way you executed this entry was extremely well done. You completely succeeded in giving out big, powerful positive energy from start to finish. Some people lose focus if they stand up and walk around while trying to sing and play an instrument but it was so natural for you. This was almost like a mini music video with how you stepped outside to share your love of music with your neighbors. What carried you to the top of my list was your passionate voice, and driven guitar strumming and how well you performed this entire piece with everything you put out for us. Thank you for this Brand New Inspiration and for setting the bar high for your fellow Steemian Musicians. How will you top this entry in the coming weeks of future contests? I look forward to seeing what you do next.

2. @lynnm's "Río Caipe - Pasaje" Cover Song
There was something about this entry that drew me in. Your coupled happiness and chemistry shined through your intertwined culturally fused playing and you both truly provide some highly sought after beautiful sounds to our extremely diverse Steemit Open Mic Contest. The longer you both played, the stronger your bond seemed to become in syncopation and rhythm. What a wonderful piece you chose to display for us all this week, and you ended it very strongly indeed. Please keep doing what you do best, it is such a treat to listen to. You both get better and better and I am excited for your next collaboration.

3. @g10a's "At Sana (And I Wish)" Original Song
You, without a doubt, sang and poured your entire heart out on this one. From your very first entry that I seen of you, I knew you would bring something special to our contest. I always commend original artists for their creativity, and this song is really heartfelt and moving. The chorus is an Earworm and makes us all want to sing along with you. When you incorporate your true emotions and feelings into music, you connect with your audience so much easier without needing to force anything. You certainly gave an influential performance both vocally and guitar-wise, so this and your growth of impact is what decided me to place you third on my list. Thank you for this entry, looking forward to what else you will surprise us with.
4. @mogatiexperiment's "Luchin" By Victor Jara Cover Song
Talk about masterful collaborations. Individually, you all can stand alone and hold your own to captivate your listeners, but when interwoven together into a cultural tapestry, you blanket us with a wonderful realm of feeling, nostalgia and surrealness. I commend and respect your high quality and professionally seamless entries. Despite winning 1st last week, we cannot deny your greatness and what you provide to our community when you showcase your teamwork, and you placed 4th because you also have a new member within your successful experiment. Please keep creating and sharing, each song is thus far a gem. I can't wait for your next masterpiece.

5. @melavie’s ”At All" Original Song
This was a beautifully haunting and enchanting performance from you. You are able to encompass a suspenseful storytelling aura to your sweet sounding and well-controlled voice. Your vibrato gave your melodies that extra chilling momentum that commands us to stay keen and truly tune in and listen to what you are conveying to us. Your musical talents and skills are certainly not an illusion and your impact on our contest indeed matters. Keep creating wonderful original songs and more success and growth shall come of it. This definitely deserves many playthroughs. Thank you and I look forward to your next entry.

I have long followed your post and I do not understand how to make it. how to how to megikuti him
can you explain a little. for my friends
I appreciate the mention @verbal-d Thanks my man!
You're welcome bro, good to see you are back consistently submitting entries and improving your craft
brutal!!
I hope that is a good thing bro lol
I can be a tough judge, I know.
Thanks for the recognition and getting me on the map. Reading your feedback on the others above helps me gauge what you look for.
It'll be tricky for me to add much more artistic flare, color or interaction given the nature of what I'm playing, and the only vantage point I can record myself from. I'll just have to trust in and rely on some good old fashioned drumming on its own.
Great job assessing the field.
You're very welcome @steemmatt, you actually came really close to hitting my top 5, and Red Hot Chili Peppers was a great cover choice, and yes I am heavy handed on originals unless a cover exceeds expectations, but better success to you in the future weeks. You got this, just please don't get in trouble with your neighbors lol
Totally awesome picks, mentions, and reviews “D!” Somehow or another, I totally missed @lynnm’s collaborative duet entry with @digitalopus – thank’s for bringing it to the fore – it was truly a treasure to behold!
