Open Mic Week 72 My Top 5 Judges Selection --- by @krystle
Special thanks to @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, @passion-ground, and @meno 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.

Cover Of Beyonce By Etemi Steemit Openmic Week 72 Entry --- by @etemi
You absolutely blasted through the atmosphere with your epic vocals once again. Whew you can sing so impactfully @etemi. The soul and human emotions with your high quality, controlled tone is unmatched. I love how this song is about love between two strong in-love individuals and I can tell how passionately caring you are not only about your musical presentation but the feelings you harbor and hold dear towards @mrprecious. Great guitar playing as well. You both are definitely Steemit Open Mic's power couple and you have blessed us once again with another climactic performance. Thanks for sharing with us this gem. We look forward to what you showcase next. - @verbal-d
I love the raw passion in this performance. Stripped down to just vocal and guitar with no effects and still gave me goosebumps through the whole performance. Great performance guys! - @luzcypher
" A voice with so much power and so much beauty I am just in love with @etemi " - @soundlegion
2nd Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 72 Home Tonight Original Song --- by @zipporah
*What can I say about the talented Zippy, I found her entry to be one of those songs that was designed to hit you right in the feels. It's not secret that I'm a sucker for emotional music, for emotional deliveries, and the songs that speak to my soul are the ones that tell stories of hope, songs that are able to convey the longing for an emotional home, a safe place to call home.
It's exactly for this reason the lyrics resonated with me so much, aside from possessing a beautiful voice, and a kind soul that comes out in her writing effortlessly, the performance was just the icing on the cake for me. Thank you for sharing this little musical treasure with us Zippy.* - @meno
"@zipporah joins us again this week bringing another original masterpiece of hers. She has an absolutely stunningly clear vocal and delivers to perfection a quality sound that is not forgotten. Much love to this artist I am a fan" - @soundlegion
My sentiments on why I have placed you once again in my top 5 are akin to @meno's explanation as well. I am known for favoring original music, check, I love music that means something deep and is personally reflective and inspiring, check, I want to feel and be in tune with the performer because it is evident that they truly care about the music they are sharing because it has a purposeful and intentional impact/storyline, check. Not only do you sing beautifully on your Bluebird Microphone (a beauty by the way) your story is just compelling and adds so much depth with how intimately you have interwoven the care within your lyrics, which continue to showcase a raw realness and vulnerability that is fused within your original masterpieces. Thank you for your gift of music and being a beacon of light, hope and encouragement of strength for us all in this community. Looking forward to more of your originals. We can never have enough original music. :) - @verbal-d
I love how you poured your heart into this performance. It reached into mine and spoke to me as if I was having a one-on-one talk. Every performance I have heard from yu so far feels so real I think I'm in love with your voice. - @luzcypher
3rd Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 72 Still Haven T Found What I M Looking For Cover Nathan Kaye First Ever Entry --- by @nathankaye
"This guys rocked it out!! I was loving the slide guitar work and them killer vocals absolutely giving us this song. I love the tune and he had it was nailed down tight right here with flavor and instrumental awesomeness" - @soundlegion
*So I only found out about you a couple of weeks back now and I have to say it has been an absolute pleasure getting to hear your music, even with this cover you have reworked it and made something truly unique and wonderful.
The passion in the vocals were just perfection, I love getting such emotive performances - I am sure you're aware by now I am quickly becoming an avid fan of your music.
I am a big fan of the unique coupling of the slide guitar with the slide didge, it just creates such an epic sound and feeling - this is not just the Aussie in me talking here, you have taken an ancient instrument and reworked in amazing ways I just can't get enough of.
I am so looking forward to seeing what else you have hidden up your sleeve for us, I just can't wait to hear more and soon!* - @krystle
Your performance is amazing and you brought something new to a classic rock song that is uniquely your own style. This is your first entry and I can't wait to hear what you do next. I'm so glad you found Open Mic on Steemit and am sure you'll find many fans here who will love your sound as much as I do. You are a one man band and a true artist. - @luzcypher

Steemit Openmic Week 72 Story Of My Life Acoustic Cover By Dominiqueguitars --- by @dominiqueguitars
"I was incredibly moved by the soul in this performance. The vocals were fantastic and moving and the guitar work was lovely. you guys really pulled out an emotion in this cover that touched my heart and my skin" - @soudlegion
*You had me hooked from the first second, the pristine clear guitar had me - then you just blew me away with those amazing vocals!
I am such a fan of the harmonies you guys gave us here today, such range and control just pure brilliance and an utter joy to hear.
The both of you just smashed it out of the park, I love hearing this song time and again and to be honest I have never heard it before - so you've not only made me fall in love with your performance, but a new song as well.
I just can't get over those astonishing vocals, it was just absolutely divine to hear and I can't wait to hear more from you in the future! - @krystle
Great harmonies, soulful performance full of authenticity! - @luzcypher
5th Place
Steemit Openmic Week 72 Original Song Little Bird --- by @trevorpetrie
- What a beautiful song this is, and very fitting for Valentine's Week I guess. I suspect this second fact might have been intentional. I'm a bit of a romantic person myself, so of course as I was listening to the smooth sounds of the soothing melody, the lyrics resonated with me.
A beautiful tribute to the girl that became his wife, do I need to say more? I can almost imagine all the visits, the little dates, the discovery and the process of falling in love with her. A special tune, a musical story with a happy ending.* - @meno
Brooding as I was on Wednesday, missing the tenderness of that special kind of love, Trevor’s “Little Bird” hit home and brightened all such darkness I had been harboring that day. Despite describing how he missed such love himself, “Little Bird” shed a glowing light on the desires and hopes that envelop each of us when we find that ever-so-elusive and enduring love with that very special someone we call our own. In this case, it was Trevor’s “Little Bird.” Not simply because of any sort of Valentine’s Day theme, but solely in honor of his brilliant composition, performance, and stunning (3-Mic) audio quality, Trevor has earned himself my number 1 spot here in week 72. - @passion-ground
Beautiful song that opened my heart to tenderness! - @luzcypher
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.

How to find the words? It is such an incredible honor to be recognized in this way – to know that the sincere offerings of my heart (my voice and stories) are so well-received and appreciated.
I've already said it so many times this week, yet it bears repeating – You all are helping to heal an ancient wound, muffling the part of me that imagines my songs aren't good enough. I'd nearly given up, but you've inspired a wonderful reawakening.
To my esteemed, fellow winners – you guys blow me away with your raw talent and unflinching courage. Grateful to share space with you on this list, including the phenomenal artists named as honorable mentions, as well as all those with whom I shared space on the judges's Top 5's! <3
THANK YOU to all the amazing judges. You guys tackle a huge task each week and do so with heart and grace. And @luzcypher – your words are the sweetest gift. I'm glad you love my voice as you'll be hearing more of it.
Turns out, I'm in love with this community.

Wow!
My entry for the week 72 came in almost late, and when i posted i checked over and again just to know that @luzcypher had seen and approved it via that big badge he posts, but didn't see it for bout 2 days. I must say i became very worried with the fear that my effort was gonna go down the drain unnoticed, the worry however increased when i didn't see what I'd call an affirmatory comment from sir Passion ground. The confirmation however came finally from both luzcypher and @passion-ground and that was it... I finally was happy that they'd get to see what I've done and help me get better... Of course they did, and I'm grateful for that.
I always try to come up with the best of performances in my arts (music and football) and the openmic contest has given i and my likes that platform to grow and get better and most importantly "get appreciated"bigtime... I remain ever grateful to @luzcypher for putting this contest together... to @pfunk the witness for his benevolence week in, week out, and to our dynamic judges
