1st Place
You won 40 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 126 Lie To Me I Need A Friend Original Song --- by
Well this was amazing, what else can I say? I mean, if you've never related to these feelings then you are not old enough, and life has not shaken you around enough. In other words, we've all been there, we've all felt that need to give the steering wheel to someone and finally find happiness, but know that is not how it works. -
Your playing is brilliant, as is your overall composition - you have created such an amazing texture and flow throughout this song, it is really wonderful to hear and enjoy.
The vocals were spot on and just kick ass, you manage to convey the emotion of the song perfectly - you really have a knack for smashing it out of the park and I must say you didn't let us down!
It's always such a treat to have you with us, I love you music so much and you always perform them so exceptionally well - I feel like I'm there in a pub listening with mates, just brilliant! -
2nd Place
You won 20 Steem
I could listen to Zipporah sing all day, I really could. I mean, unless you heart is frozen in black ice, there is no way her voice and her lyrics can't reach your heart. This song, this little lullaby is all about her biggest strength, her ability to show her vulnerability and to call it special is to call the sun hot. -
I absolutely love the harmonies you've performed here, just showing a snippet of the range you have at your disposal - your gifts are just wonderful to behold and I just can't get enough.
Your music always has a soothing/healing feel to it, just pure emotion - pouring that feeling into ever ounce of that song.
Just an absolutely phenomenal performance, of a truly brilliant song - by a fantastically amazing and lovely woman we affectionately call Zippy, much love and just fantastic as always. -
3rd Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 127 House Of The Rising Sun Cover --- by
My man showing up to rock the house. This cover was just superb, a true classic and Tarot made it his own. I think
has been one of the most consistent musicians on this platform and I feel blessed to have him be part of our community. If you love the original, you will love this take on the classic. -
That was a splendid performance in every aspect, I really can't get over that brilliant display of power - just breath taking man, not to mention the kick ass acoustics.
You made a classic song your own by simply messing with the cadence at times, that truly shows the skill you have at hand - I just can't express how much I loved that bloody entry, you stole the show with that my friend. -
4th Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemet Openmic Week 126 Cover Que Lloro Sin Banderas By Dianakyv --- by
Diana is just one of those singers that can make anyone's skin got into goosebump mode at will. I remember listening to the original song a long time ago, but it works so much better with a beautiful female voice, that I won't listen to the original in the same way ever again. -
You really both sound so amazing together it really is phenomenal to witness, you never let us down - and I swear each week your even more brilliant then the last, I don't know how you both do it!
Again Diana you have one of the most amazing talents I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, your vocal control leaves me speechless - your vocal range is stunning and best of all, you wield your weapon with such skill and precision it's utterly faultless.
You guys are just next level brilliant, I count myself so lucky to be able to hear your music every time you enter - just such amazingly talented musicians, I can't get enough! -
5th Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Openmic Week 126 Cover De Y Nada Mas Interpretada Por Davidcentenor --- by
All I have to say is "Woah!" - Listen, I don't know what's going on here, but somebody must investigate their ability to harmonize so perfectly because its too good to be legal. You must, and I repeat, you must listen to these guys. Do it now, do it today, right now, don't wait. -
You both play so damned well and together it really just is something else next level, I loved the depth and texture two players added to this performance - you guys are just amazing musicians.
Then there's the vocals and holy hell the vocals just left me floored, that song showed so much vocal range and contrast it was more than just impressive - not only is the falsetto range used brilliant throughout the song, the harmonies were just spectacular.
No matter what way I look at it, I had to place you in first this week - your performance was just impeccable and rather incredible to boot.(
I am absolutely enthralled by your joint performances of late, you both really help to accentuate the others dazzling facets - it's another brilliant collaboration, from to brilliant musicians! -
Here's a screenshot of the rewards transferred to the winners this week.
