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.

1st Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 69 Let Her Go Cover Passenger --- by
*Well the playing here is just a perfect example of precision execution, you caught my attention within moments and I love this entry and unique rendition so very much.
I am not to sure (with so many new entrant it's hard to keep track), but if I'm not mistaken this would be one of your first entries into the Open Mic contest - well firstly welcome and secondly wow you kicked arse, right off the bat with this entry!
You have an amazing vocal timber and control that you displayed to great effect during this entry, you created a new sound for a song I absolutely love and you made it your own in the process.
Your playing was just phenomenal, you have some serious skills there and I can't wait to hear more from you in the future.* -
*This guy just covered all of my scoring bases from production quality, entertainment value, musical dynamics, passion, persona, and overall quality - I mean, geez, come on already... - this rendition of "Let Her Go" was simply thru-the-roof on every single one of my scoring criteria benchmarks!
’s musical performance speaks far louder than words could ever describe. Just take a listen, and see for yourselves - precisely what it is to which I am referring here. Yep, that’s exactly why he took my number 1 spot this week. Congratulations, brother – you’ve earned it!* -
2nd Place
Open Mic Week 69 Aqualung Cover Brighter Than Sunshine --- by
As I generally alluded to in my reflexive comments beneath his post, - this rather gifted member of our most esteemed "Songwriter's Challenge Community" simply blew me away!. I truly could not believe that this was a "cover" and not one of his "original" compositions! I've never heard this song before, and Luis's rendition thereof made me love it like no other! Not simply "the song itself" but rather the creative and unique rendition that Luis has graced us with here. As such, yet another "cover" has found its way into my number 2 spot here in week #69. Check it out, you're gonna love it! -
"Brighter Than Sunshine" By Aqualung Cover Song
Brighter than sunshine? Or Better than Aqualung? I might go with both on this one. You have provided so many quality entries it is getting pretty ridiculous bro lol People know you are super passionate and skilled within your vast limitations :) Many might be saying, "Ok, now this guy is just showing off lol" You truly do this cover song justice and then some. Almost like a radio ready live recording, I've always appreciated your attention to detail and concise precision that a perfectionist aims for in music. How can anyone not feel better after vibing out to the positive rays of brightness and serene frequencies this provides the soul? This definitely has a high replay value, and I shall be revisiting this one along with many of my other favourite top picks. Thanks for the good vibes and the awesome high standard entry once again. Keep them rolling out please. -
3rd Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 69 Kaleidoscope Grey Original Song --- by
Your very first entry is quite compelling, and you have a very sweet songbird style of singing. Your guitar strumming and how your have structured this song is very intentional and effective to command my attention and compassion. Even without the revealing and inspiring explanation given on your post, this song definitely speaks volumes of the human perspective within the conditions of a encapsulating depression and limited mobility. The pain and the raw exposure of your experience and the vicious circle that seems to swirl about your beautiful soul is what makes this more gripping. I am truly humbled to see the strength you are showing to provide a bit of light on the situation you are currently dealing with. Lyrics are extremely important to me in my eyes as a songwriter, you have infused a self reflecting and vulnerable string of poetry that glimmer with a lining of hope. I pray God does have mercy upon you. Thank you for taking the leap to share this wonderful gem with us all. You have a community here on Steemit, and I wish you nothing but the best, and improved health in every aspect. -
4th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 69 Mario S Let Me Love You Cover --- by
*Mr. “P” has become somewhat of an overnight sensation here amid the Open-Mic community - and for a very good reason at that! This week, he simply got the better of me with his move toward a little bit of "R&B" as it were, (which of course, translates to "Rythmn and Blues" for those not quite familiar with the reference). He talks about "connecting" in his post - and I couldn't agree with him more! Connect he did - (with me anyway)! After you click play and listen to this, I guarantee you'll be going "R&B" in no time flat! Hat's off, Mr. Precious - you continue to live up to your handle, my brother! Much love * -
5th Place
Steemit Openmic Entry Week 69 Shontelle Impossible Cover By Etemi --- by
"Impossible" By Shontelle Cover Song
You hoped we liked it? This was amazingly moving! This is an easy call for me. You have the gift to convey the raw emotions from your past experiences and tether them seamlessly with that blessing of a voice you have been given from God. The feelings you instill in this awe inspiring performance are riveting with profound tangibility. Us in the audience, as your listeners, respect and are attentive to your impacting lamentations. Your soul-filled vocals, your facial expressions, your guitar accompanying, your genuine conviction and the tunnel vision you experience towards the latter half of the video all encompass the passion and seriousness you take with sharing music. Even that slight pause in the middle, you recovered so well, and gained some serious momentum like a professional! Big kudos and appreciation, and thank you once again for another great entry. We look forward to what you do next. -
