Steemit Openmic Week 86 Paintingangels Original New Song Fly --- by
Always a pleasure to hear you sing. This uplifted my like you uplift other in the Open Mic community. Beautiful song and voice. -
I once lived inside a cage, I too tried to decorate those walls and pretend everything was going to be fine if I made it pretty enough. When the illusion was broken, when I saw the bars and the rust, I had to recognize I was just a cage all along.
This song, this beautiful ballad took me back to my cage. To those years of my life where I felt trapped, and it reminded me of the painful departure. The moment I knew I had to leave, I had to rise....
Like I told Serena, she broke me... I cried like a little child, but felt grateful that I don't live inside that cage anymore. -
You went and did it again lovely, what an epic performance and song hun - you just mange to capture emotions perfectly, it really is a stunning entry I just couldn't get past it. -
2nd Place

Spectacular is how I would refer to your vocal abilities, I am just sitting here watching you sing your heart out and it melts my heart every time - not to mention the power behind those amazing vocals, just breathtaking in every way possible. -
3rd Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 86 - COCO RAMOS (ORIGINAL SONG) ''ENEMIGO'' --- by
What is going on with the world? When did people get so talented and where as I when this all started to happen? Do not be tricked by this beautiful face,
is a music powerhouse and in this performance she shows me why I should get with the times and possibly learn a thing or two about loops already.
Absolutely brilliant performance and stunning, stunning vocals. -
Really nice original song and I'm impressed you were playing all of the instruments live at the same time. Can't wait to hear more. -
4th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 86 Time Original Music By Darrenclaxton --- by
Though he valiantly brushes it off as simply another life lesson learned, I can’t help but imagine just how painful writing and performing this song must truly be for Darren. I mean, I fell apart just listening to it and reading his post. He writes, “To the world, you are one person, and to one person you are the world.” The person to whom he refers is his mother. Yes, time heals all wounds; however, scars tend to last forever. This is a deeply emotional song about the magical bond or in Darren’s case, the lack thereof, that each of us holds most dear throughout our lifetimes. This is a beautifully crafted song about how the slow and painful march of time eventually helps in healing us. Brilliant guitar work and performance, Darren… bless you, mate! -
Great picking and love the song. Good to see you back on this chart! -
5th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 86 Original Adentro By Moccamonica --- by
Absolutely Stunning performance. Monica's vocal control must be the envy of absolutely everyone in her home town, she hits those notes with the precision of a sniper. I have to ask, how is it that she was able to surround herself with such talented musicians? When the Latin Jazz elements kick in, I had to get up from my chair and move a little bit. Like we say back home... Sabroso!!! -
Totally unique sounding performance. Well played and soulful vocals -
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
