Another great week of music as we head into the Holiday Season! Speaking of Holiday’s, I will be traveling to enjoy them for the remainder of the year and as such, I won’t be back to judge Open-Mic entries until 2019.

Please, VOTE for These WITNESSES...

IMPORTANT: Before we move on, please don't forget to vote for @Pfunk as witnesses! Hive account@pfunk is our biggest supporter, and plays a major role in helping to fund, the Open Mic contest each week.

Steemit Open Mic Week 113

# My Top-5 Picks in Order

FIRST PLACE: Hive account@cristmounicou – Give Me Love - (Cover)

Crist’s cover of Ed Sheeran’s Give Me Love is simply outstanding! This production and group performance is stellar from top to bottom - and I’m giving them my top spot this week.

SECOND PLACE: Hive account@joseacabrerav – Teoremas - (Original)

Jose and his bandmates killed this original composed by Jose! These guys are truly fantastic musicians and performers. For that and more they handily take my #2 spot this week.

THIRD PLACE: Hive account@camuel - Blackbird - (Cover)

Okay, so I’m a sucker for Beatles covers… However, they have to be really good. Camuel delivered a truly outstanding performance of this Beatles classic this week and in doing so, he’s taken my #3 spot.

FOURTH PLACE: Hive account@k0wsk1 – Traffic In the Sky - (Cover)

I love hearing songs that I’ve never heard before that I truly enjoy. I can be a tough sell on new songs & artists; however, k0w’s skillful rendition of this particular cover sold me straight away!

FIFTH PLACE: Hive account@esthersanchez – Autumn Leaves - (Cover)

I’m an older dude – just turned 59 in September… This is my father’s generations music and I LOVE IT! Esther and her partner totally knocked this well-covered classic right out of the park!
