Special thanks to @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, and @passion-ground 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 71 Frozen Madonna --- by @pedromrmourato


I have never been big on Pop music, and have only heard a string number of hit songs from the world renowned Madonna, and this is not one of them. You both certainly elevated this cover song to an equally high level of quality across the board, as well as, creativity, presentation, performance and passionate conviction. I would first like to commend the guitarist for his real great playing and complimentary accompaniment. Your transitions and build ups were spot on to wing man your friend's wonderful vocals into the spotlight. The singing was truly moving and attention gripping. The chemistry between you two is clear cut and definite. You both bring new light to the open mic contest and this is a chilling performance, which freezes us listeners in our tracks. All puns intended. Thank you for this exciting entry that has stirred a buzz within our community. You are deserving of all the recognition you have been receiving and we look forward to more epic entries like this one. - @verbal-d


*So here comes @pedromrmourato, and I’m like – WTF is this! Well, never having heard the “Madonna” original – I just totally got into the duet for what it was worth on its own merit – and to say the very least, it’s worth a quite lot!

So, thereafter, I had to go check out Madonna’s original composition – and what do you know? I’ll tell you what… @pedromrmourato and company completely out-gunned Madonna’s original version at every twist and turn! Not at all just for that conquest, but rather for the incredible duet performance by these two fine artists, which is simply undeniable - I had no choice but to place them at the top of my list for week 71.* - @passion-ground


I have to say I've been listening to and sharing this track all week and am so blown away by how good it sounds. It's just so rich and expressive and chock full of emotion. Definitely glad you found us here and Steemit and hope to hear more from you soon. - @luzcypher


2nd Place


Steemit Open Mic Week 71 Original Song Hold On Strong By Lillym --- by @lillym

No matter which way you slice it, this chick has got the “goods" – and she “delivers!” I just loved everything about her passion-filled performance! This is my kind of music! It’s raw, pure, and from the heart. More than that, you can’t ask for. For this, and this alone, Lilly took my 2nd place selection without the least bit of resistance. - @passion-ground


"So great to have you join us here on openmic, and what a way to jump in. Fantastic voice, incredible song and delivered with a standing "O" in this room tonight. Catchy song sang with some fire pipes" - @soundlegion


How can anyone not enjoy this meaningful and heartfelt performance from you? You have an uplifting and sweet singing voice that brings evident vitality to this wonderful original song. Your confidence is sincere, your performance is poised and eloquent, your guitar playing adds just the right amount of background significance, as you allow your stirring vocals to navigate this catchy and captivating song. I am currently vibing to your track as I write this review, and that is one Earworm of a chorus. I'm holding on as best as I can lol I love the melodious flair you play around with as you coast around your falsetto range, and I can reflect on the profound depth of your lyrics. You are a talented songwriter and performer. Please keep making music, it's more than just noise and this is the kind of song I look for when I am scouting for original music. Music that has purpose and aims to make a positive difference in this cold world. Thank you for the uplifting vibes, it was such a treat. I look forward to what you share with us next. - @verbal-d



3rd Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 71 Story Charlemagne Walking On The Moon The Police --- by @storycharlemagne


"You could sing me anything all day long mista. Great cover of a really cool tune and you worked it in a way I felt was soo fresh, I had not heard the version you were referring to so all the credit in my ears on this will be fondly remembered to your version. Incredible! - @soundlegion


I may be heavy on the originals as what I normally favour heavily, but with a voice like yours, it is hard for me to ignore the pristine entries you continue to put out. Not only are the covers driven with a powerful and impacting range from your soulful singing, you know how to make each entry creatively your own, whether it's an original from your genius and artful mind, or a cover hit from an equally talented artist. I usually don't like such repetitive songs, but it's all about approach and execution, and your vibrato and transitions and minor note adjustments on such parts made this entry thoroughly enjoyable, not including the smooth runs and higher notes you belt out still within full power range. You're an elite performer and I thank you for keeping the standards of the open mic contest extremely high. - @verbal-d

5th Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 71 Angel Down Work Tape Lady Gaga Cover By Honeymoon 1611 --- by @honeymoon-1611


I do believe you have the voice akin to an angel. It is pure, melodic and full of musicality. You are effortless in your serenading and are no where near to straining your self to deliver this wonderful cover, which is a great song choice that fits your singing range comfortably and warmly. I can't help but notice that you are one of our younger entrants, and that is a delightful surprise because that just means you have so much more room to improve upon the potential to over layer the already evident talent and skillful control you possess over that stunning singing you produce. The reverb and echo chamber dynamics of the room you've decided to perform in does add a bit too much effect to your voice, but I would really like to hear your vocals more upfront and direct in a more dry setting to enhance the experience of your music. That is my only critique, but this was a really graceful performance and I will not allow it to be overlooked. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all and we look forward to what you will perform for us in the near future. - @verbal-d

I didnt get to catch @pedromrmourato performance and for that I regret not getting to see how awesome it was verbal-d and jaybird have filled me in that it was pretty epic. It still will not play for me for some reason, says its restricted in my area for some warner chappell thing. never seen that before so strange. Fantastic winners and apologies to @pedromrmourato for not getting to include in my judging this week.

There is a d.tube version, I had the same problem

Same here! I think I've clicked on it on three separate occasions hoping for a different result each time.. (didn't Einstein say something about this?)
