🎵 Weekly Update

Celebrating 81 weeks of Hive Open Mic

The 81st consecutive Hive Open Mic event ran from October 24-30, 2021, with the theme: Romantic Nostalgia. This theme was selected by Spotlight Artist: Hive account@karlaquinviolin, of Venezuela. She is a violinist and vocalist, giving our community her grace and elegance week after week. Let's begin this week's highlights with the song she shared.

Hive account@karlaquinviolin stretches into new territory, singing a song in English, by way of Venezuela. Her voice and violin are precious, we all know, and now we know her English-speaking is adorable too. I hear elegance, grace, and power in this performance, complete with an admirable visual display. Song by Whitney Houston.

Nice, good job....... This is one wonderful thing about music, breaks language barriers. You don't need to be fluent to sing in a particular tongue. -Hive account@stefanovah

Con todo respeto Karla quedé así 👉😍 jajajaja, que espectacular lo que hiciste, tu voz, el violín, tu performance, la edición y sin ser menos importante tu vestido y presencia, te arreglaste muy bien para la ocasión 🌹... Pura magia lo que trajiste para esta semana, te felicito, muchos éxitos y bendiciones para ti, lo mereces 🙌😀🎙️🎶🎻❤️ —Hive account@fernanblog

Tú eres una maravillosa cantante, que placer poder escucharte una vez más. tienes un alma limpia y al interpretar esta canción, quedas al descubierto. Además de que has realizado un trabajo divino con la edición, toda mi admiración y respeto para ti, como siempre. —Hive account@jhoxiris

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ¡Bravo Karla! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 No sé ni por donde empezar... Eres la artista más esperada de la semana para mí... Tu voz está mejor que nunca y que te acompañes a ti misma con el violín siempre me ha parecido mágico. —Hive account@jesuslnrs

💛 Pillar of the Community

Continuing our new tradition of honoring an influential person among us, I announce our next "Pillar of the Community": Hive account@jesuslnrs. Anyone who participates in our Hive Open Mic event knows and respects this musician. He is a champion of encouraging words for other musicians. My guess is that he listened to ~100 live music performances this week, and he probably gave that many comments, each being kind and considerate. A heroic effort!

Also, being a moderator in this community, he does an important task of helping newcomers to stand in the spotlight, share their musical talents, and connect with their audience. His comments are much more supportive than mere flattery; his words often help people to overcome their challenges so they can grow and blossom in their artistry. In this way, he is a brother to us, because he really cares.

As a reward, we are pinning his post at the top of our community page.

🌟 Spotlight Artist

Hello (Cover) by Hive account@peaq

View the Original Post

Hive account@peaq gives an incredible vocal performance, singing a song by Adele, a cappella. To me, singing a cappella without any effects or enhancements or instrumental accompaniment is especially brave, although it is perhaps the simplest expression of music. After all, we all have our voices as our primary instruments. This artist's singing is pure brilliance. I hear pitch-perfect singing of this sky-high melody, plus subtle improvisation too, showing various facets of her creative gems. Wow. So much to enjoy and admire here. The song is tremendous in its potent lyrics, vocalized powerfully, with appropriate emotion and beauty all around. I am grateful for this musician's recent arrival in the Hive Open Mic community, and I wish for us all to be blessed by the bright ray of light she is.

My God! but how much perfection in your singing! It's incredible how you fill spaces and emotions with just your voice akapella, I've been perplexed by how wonderful your voice is. Thank you for the good music! —Hive account@naradamoon

Se me ha hecho habito escuchar lo que nos traes semana a semana, esta canción concuerda con el tema de la semana, llena de romanticismo y nostalgia y como siempre cantando como diosa, mil felicitaciones por tan destacada presentación, Dios bendiga tu potente voz y tu carisma. Bendiciones amiga Hive account@peaq🙏🏻🤗🎶👏🏼 —Hive account@cochanet

You hit those high notes...nice one... At 3:59 you killed that pitch...nice one!!!!! —Hive account@ebingo

I am pleased to acknowledge this musician as this week's Spotlight Artist. As a token of appreciation, I'm happy to invite her to choose our community's Hive Open Mic theme for our upcoming week 86. Hive account@peaq, please choose a theme that will inspire and enliven us as we explore new territory as artists. Just name it in the comments below, and we're good to go!

Ritmo sabroson y movido. Siento la selva en mis oídos. Exelente ejecución con la rítmica y la guitarra, y que bueno que en la vida conozcamos gente que nos abra la mente a más arte como tu novia en aquel momento. Saludos! —Hive account@naradamoon

Excelente tu música como siempre, sobretodo la manera en que la vas construyendo hasta llegar a la excelencia. De tu post me ha gustado mucho es que creo que fuiste el único que no pensó tanto en tristeza, pero aún así le diste el concepto de nostalgia romántica al post. Mas bien haces mención de que fueron tiempos divertidos para ti. Siempre original viejo, felicitaciones... —Hive account@jesusnlrs
