Thank you SO much Hive account@ausbitbank for creating the Hive account@openmic account and helping to get it funded with 20,000 Steem Power in under 24-hours! Awesome accomplishment that really helps us reward people who enter Open Mic.

A great big thanks to Hive account@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 Hive account@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 Hive account@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 62" 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 62" 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.

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

and the winners are...

1st Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 61 Original Noria Thorns --- by Hive account@nirtsfaty

Hive account@nirtsfaty's "Thorns" Original Song
This moving entry of yours truly revealed your wonderful song writing skills and your impressive singing range. This was both momentous and delicate at the same time as you tell a story of being blessed with so much material items, yet the burdening of its frivolity and worthlessness to a life more meaningful outside of a noble and high societal class of silver and golden spoon privilege. It's amazing what a folm can inspire out of us musicians, I have had similar moments of inspiration and creative expression. You performed the heck out of this song, thank you for your wonderful song. - Hive account@verbal-d

Nir states in his post that the votes and beautiful comments he receives from listeners is his oxygen. Well, I for one am part of that fan-base. It’s very much a two-way street because I believe that Nir gives all of us a lasting dose of oxygen thru his music. His composition, Thorns, is exquisite as is his near-flawless performance of this brilliant song of discontent and running from one’s blessings. Nir really settles into the mood and gets quite passionate in his performance from the 2nd verse right on thru the end. Thank you, Nir, for yet another brilliant piece of songwriting! -- Hive account@passion-ground

2nd Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 61 Nestorchacin Igual Que Ayer Tema Original De Manolo Esis --- by Hive account@nestorchacin

Hive account@nestorchacin's "Igual que ayer/Same As Yesterday" Original Song
Man oh man, you guys came with the heat this week. way to bring out the wonderful harmonies to captivate us all. You each have your own distinct and equally talented voice which blend in tonality as well as vibe and feel. This is one of those entries which is completely hard to ignore and impossible to look over. As each of you began to sing and show your skills, the whole experience was just inspiring and reminds us how powerful conjoined voices can be when all are in sync with effortless chemistry. Thanks for setting bar high with your memorable entry, you, I'm sure have wooed many new followers to your profile for more music.* - Hive account@verbal-d

3rd Place

Steem It Open Mic Week 61 Hernan Suarez Moonlight Original Song --- by Hive account@nadabrahmasounds

Hive account@nadabrahmasounds’ ”Moonlight” Original Composition
You are very calm cool and collected before during and towards the end of your performance, the traits of a true professional performer. You certainly are skilled and apt in navigating your Pantam/Handpan. It is such a beautifully spacey (UFO-like) looking instrument and it give an equally capturing sound when placed into talented possession such as you. You switched up your rhythm and playing patterns throughout your entire composition and there was never a dull moment. Your melodies are refreshing and you structured the sections with seamless transitions. Way to bring it all the way full circle (pun intended), this is definitely going to be repeated.* - Hive account@verbal-d
