Steemit OpenMic Week 94 🎼//ON MY OWN// Les Miserables --- by @silentscreamer

---

Right from the very start, @silentscreamer - or "SS" as I like to call her, grabbed hold of my heartstrings, and for 4+ minutes, she never let go! This is a profoundly beautiful song rendered in equally exquisite fashion by one of our very own – the immensely talented, Marica! I LOVED THIS – “All On My Own!” - @passion-ground

---

What could I possibly say about our talented @silentscreamer that has not been said before? At this point I'm running out of words. Her violin playing as stunning as usual and her delivery was just exalting. That's the only new word I can throw into the mix that remained unused. However, now... I'm out of adjectives. -@meno

2nd Place

You won 40 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.

Steemit Open Mic Week 94 Hola Original Song --- by @ilazramusic

---

Whoa! – One could not ask for a catchier tune! @ilazramusic has once again outdone himself in assembling and producing “Hola!” His vibe is always positive, his music - always captivating, and “Hola” captures all of these blessings that have been graciously bestowed upon the musical genius who is otherwise known as @ilazramusic. ”Hola,” my brother… NICE! - @passion-ground

---

" oh man, all the parts in this are played out fantastic and I love the vocal, really in the groove, totally felt it, good energy, good vibes, perfection my friend you always impress " - @soundlegion

---

I just love the vocals on this track. Not only the catchy lead, which of course is so contagious it should come with a warning. But the details of the background vocals, the openness of the voices keep my heart cruising. What a beautiful track, excellent production, just brilliant. - @meno

3rd Place

You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.

Steemit Open Mic Semana 94 Latiendo De Mas Cover --- by @jotadiaz12

---

Okay, so in my estimation, these two talented performers are the “sleepers” here in week #94! Both of them set forth incredibly impassioned performances in covering this most beautiful song. The backdrop, audio quality, vocal and guitar performances are simply outstanding! Bravo! - @passion-ground

---

Fresh faces, I had no idea what to expect when I first listened to the performance. I had no idea I was in for such a treat. The vocals are an almost indescribable combination of fragile and emotionally powerful. Which obviously sounds like a paradox. The guitar performance was also spot on, some of the best rhythm guitar I've heard in a while, understanding the necessity for dynamics and buildup. Bravo!! - @meno

---

" the feeling here was just so pure for me, I particularly loved the vocals as they were delicate yet strong, I felt a humbleness to this that charmed me to bits. Fantastic work guys, this is what openmic is all about, fantastically heartfelt performances such as these. I do not need to understand a word being sang to feel this" - @soundlegion

4th Place

You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.

Steemit Open Mic Week 94 Or Long Way Home Or Orignal Song By Daily Musings --- by @daily-musings

---

There are those times when I'm lucky enough to find a song so simple, so sweet that it captures me instantly. It's not the first time @daily-musings is on my radar, but this original tune had to be on this list. I had to go back to it, listen again and if a song does that to you, if it makes you feel like it was too short.... Then it's no doubt a little gem. - @meno

--

"ohh I was just in heaven on these lyrics and vocals. Very emotive delivery and that is a way to get me. I am all about getting them feelers on and @daily-musings pulls down in and grabs you from the inside, I was warm all over with this original piece." - @soundlegion

---

5th Place

You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.

" The movement on those keys is just incredible. Loved the beat add to this was really filling up the sound in a cool way. This was a mission track, really driving emotions in there. Was feeling it big time.. fantastic work, and the way it ended on that note and your hand just holds there... bang" - @soundlegion
