A great big thanks to @xeldal who delegated over 20,000 Steem Power to my account in support of Steemit Open Mic. Great news for people entering the contest because now an upvote rewards you more.

When asked why they delegated Steem to my account the response was:

I've got it just sitting here and I'm thinking it does more good for everyone if I delegate it to people who bring life to the network. Plus, it makes me happy.

We all thank you for that.

A big shout out to @pfunk for sponsoring Steemit Open Mic and getting the word out with his post titled, Hey Did You Know There's A Weekly Steem Open Mic Contest --- by @pfunk

I just want to remind everyone that votes are only part of the selection process. Entertainment value and performance is factored in too.

ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAY "STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 58" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO ON NEXT WEEKS ENTRIES If you don't say that you will not qualify for rewards (other than what your post makes) for this contest. Very important. Some of you would have won the last few weeks if you would just remember to say those words at the beginning of your video.

Also, remember to start your post title with the words "Steemit Open Mic Week 58" so we can find your post easily in the feed.

If you are playing an original song please add the word "Original" in your title somewhere so we can find you and award you a bonus.

To learn more about the rules to entering the contest please read What Are The Rules To Enter Steemit Open Mic And Why Do We Have Rules Anyways

The coolest thing about Open Mic is it brings the Steemit community together and that is the whole point of this project.

Thanks to @pfunk for helping to sponsor Open Mic and he's even generously been giving Steem bonuses to participants posting original music. You can vote for @pfunk to remain a Steemit witness by clicking here and voting for @pfunk.

Open Mic Week 57 My Top 5 Judges Selection --- by @krystle

Steemit S Official Open Mic Judge Verbal D S Top 5 Entries For Week 57 Original Blog --- by @verbal-d

Special thanks to @jessamynorchard, @soundlegion, @krystle, and @verbal-d 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.

Steemit Open Mic Semana 57 Triste Mar Original Granaddiction --- by @granaddiction

@granaddiction's "Triste Mar" Original Song
I had to look up the lyrics in Google Translate after your performance and it is a beautiful song indeed, but aside from the well written original lyrics, that is only part of why I chose you to win. Your passionate singing and soulful performance shot you to the top of this list. On my first listen, you captivated all the way through, even though I had no idea what you were singing about. The emotions and how you carried your vocals with your strong guitar playing made this a moving and memorable entry. You have a lot of skills and I look forward to your next song. - @verbal-d

---

*Well damn here we go again another brand new steemian that has some insane natural talents, I am simply blown away by some of the caliber of some of our entrants - this is just so exciting.

The songs composition works perfectly, the combination of guitar and amazing vocals just leave the listener wowed - I love this sound and it just keeps getting better the longer you listen.

His vocal range and control is phenomenal, I am a massive fan of that voice and the perfect way you use it to create a unique and compelling sound.

I can't wait to hear what you have in store for us next week, you have an amazing gift and I'm honoured you shared them with our little community here - if you haven't already head on over and check him out!* - @krystle

I was amazed with your vocal range and had goosebumps all the way through the performance. Beautiful song and performance and a great addition to Steemit Open Mic. Hope to hear more from you - @luzcypher

Open Mic 57 Mi Vestido Azul Cover Espanol Traduccion --- by @orianaarmand

@orianaarmand's "Mi Vestido Azul" Cover Song
You sing wonderfully and your voice is silk smooth to this cover song which you did really great on. The entire video was from start to finish enjoyable and you know how to give out your positive energy smiling while you sing out your musical talents and sharing your love for music. Keep up the high quality entries, you certainly set the bar high as well for your fellow competitors and you brought your best this week. I look forward to what else you shall share with us in the future, thank you. - @verbal-d

---

This was a beautiful performance and I had to listen to it several times after returning to Steemfest. My neighbors knocked on my door while I was playing it and asked me who the artist was and where they could get the song. When I told them it was an entry from Open Mic they were impressed.

The performance speaks for itself and I hope to hear more from you. Any musicians looking for a female vocalist would be lucky to work with her. - @luzcypher

3rd Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 57 Original Song Keep Trying --- by @meno

@meno's "Keep On Trying" Original Song
I really loved your motivation song man. It is crazy catchy and has been stuck in my head. You brought the momentum, starting off slow and quiet, and building your message and passionate feelings into a steamrolling tackle when you hit choruses. The only thing that bothered me, is that I felt once you had reached the pinnacle of your song with a powerful chorus, you didn't repeat it one or two more times to drive the message home, and you had let up on the gas pedal during the climax of the song a bit early, thus making me want to sing out Keep On Trying cause I didn't want the song to end lol So it is a good and bad thing, because you certainly have a great original song to share with us all, and I appreciate you releasing this gem here. - @verbal-d

---

*Again another regular Open Mic entrant that is killing it in this contest, he has some amazing skills in not only songwriting and composition - but also with his skill in playing the guitar and it's all topped off by his awesome skills as a very talented vocalist.

There's a haunting sadness in the tone of this song, I just love the way every note and word draws you into the song further and further - building as it continues and then he just slams it, when you get to the chorus it is just sublime.

I love a song that can make you feel the pain and passion behind the lyrics, his vocals are dripping with emotion and that second run through the chorus sends shivers down the spine - really can't recommend enough that you check out his work!* - @krystle

---

@meno plays and writes beautiful songs but what really surprises me is his voice. It really is creamy and delicious and his melodies are spot on. The dynamics are well played as well as you can hear in this song as it builds up and he really delivers the passion in the crescendo. So happy you're part of Open Mic as you're a gem. - @luzcypher
