Steemit Open Mic Is About Building A Community Of Musicians On Steemit Not About Winning --- by @luzcypher

Special thanks to @verbal-d, @soundlegion, and @meno for help judging the contest this week. Great job.

Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connections on Steemit through music. Watching the collaborations 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.

Top 20 Trending Open Mic Posts

NOTE: Having a trending post is not how judges pick entries for their Top 5 weekly picks. Sometimes you will trend because of a variety of reasons. Congratulations! You don't need to win Open Mic to earn rewards and build your audience. As you can see, sometimes trending posts earn more than the contest rewards! You could trend by getting curated by other curation groups like @curie for example. The judges look for entertainment value which, of course, is very subjective and varies over time. Just keep playing and engaging with the community which is the whole point of Open Mic. If you love music, we love you.

Diana was sitting there thinking, how can I blow somebody's brain with this entry? What is a hard song to sing I can try? And through this method landed on this idea. I had to go listen to the original and yes, Diana added a lot of flare to it holding those notes with that much power. Anyways, had to place it first, just had to. - @meno "Incredible voice, I get shivers each time I hear you sing. Always beautiful and touching" - @soundlegion 2nd Place You won 20 Steem Steemit Open Mic Week 127: "Breathe" (Pink Floyd Cover) by @K0WSK1 --- by @k0wsk1 "This was absolutely stunning, I absolutely fell into this performance. Great voice my friend and carried a powerful vibe straight in. Wow" - @soundlegion 3rd Place You won 13 Steem Steemit Open Mic Week 127 The Haunting Original Piano Piece --- by @drewley So, this particular composition has that thing, that thing that you can't really describe too well. You think you know it, you think you love this song because its so good, but you can't place the film that you heard it in; that!. I've found myself listening three times over right now. I freaking love it. - @meno "I always feel powerful things when listening to your original music @drewley. Very moving." - @soundlegion 4th Place You won 13 Steem Steemit Openmic week 127 Cover de "Nalgas" (Buena Fe) por @danieldedosd2 --- by @danieldedosd2 I first heard the song, and mistakenly thought it was a run of the mill love song, and then it clicked. They are talking about butts, about a specific beautiful butt. So, I had to listen attentively and found myself jamming along and laughing. That says it all... - @meno 5th Place You won 13 Steem Steemit Open Mic Semana 127 Or Porque Queramos Vernos Cover By Eugelys --- by @eugelys This was a beautiful performance. I was not familiar with the song, but I truly don't need to go look it up, to appreciate how well the interpretation was. Excellent vocal control, nothing more to say. Big thumbs up here! - @meno Here's a screenshot of the rewards transferred to the winners this week.
