You won 80 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 109 // The Prayer by @dianakyv feat @mayneth --- by
This is a most incredible duet from two rather extraordinary Steemit artists. Certainly worthy of filling my top spot this week! =
What a beautiful performance and in three languages at that. I got goosebumps so many times listening I just knew this had to go as my first place this week. -
Just breathtakingly stunning as always, I was hooked the instant I heard the music intro - then your vocals come along and steal the show, that goes for
as well... what a beautiful contrast. -
2nd Place
You won 40 Steem
Steemit Open Mic 109 Crying Knot Fiddle Cello Voice --- by
I'm so glad this one was brought to my attention, of course I had it in my queue for listening, but a little bird told me I was in for a treat and boy the little bird was right. What a beautiful performance. I can't quite place my finger on the style, but for some reason I'm thinking Alt J and that doesn't make that much sense, I know. -
Ahhhh the sound just hooked me instantly, I couldn't get enough and listened to this countless times - I am loving the unique sounds we are getting this week, I love hearing some serious variety and this was just perfect. -
3rd Place
You won 26 Steem
Steemit Openmic Week 109 - Jose Cabrera Ft. Wilins Mendez - I do not remember anymore (Estopa Cover.) --- by
Two of my favorite Steemit dudes and friends! Both of them knocked this cover right out of the park! -
How awesome is this!! Two mega talented troubadours getting together to do some emotional music. What is not to like? - I'm so glad these two have become good friends and are dedicated to making music these days. I fully expect more and more amazing songs to keep coming from this duo. -
4th Place
You won 26 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 109 L Ve Got You Under My Skin Frank Sinatra Cover --- by
Belen got under my skin with this sultry rendition of a Sinatra classic. That means she mainlined it directly into my top-5 - boom! -
What vocal control!!! I was really impressed to hear how Belen was hitting all the notes, not missing one single one, and then to just drive it home, decided to simulate a trumpet right there in the middle of the song, just to make sure I don't pass this by. -
5th Place
You won 26 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 109: "With a Little Help From My Friends" (The Beatles Cover) --- by
As an avid beatles fan, of course this is going to hit my radar and Kowsk1 did a super job with this amazing little song. The falsetto tone was so good, only that merit alone I knew he would make the list. -
Just wow the changes are so subtle, but the effect is truly amazing - this was a truly brilliant rendition and just perfect delivery on every level. =
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
Congratulation Everyone And Thanks For Playing Steemit Open Mic.
