ย 

There were so many incredible entries this week, I struggled more than ever coming up with a top picks list let alone the honorable mentions and official top picks. ย ย ย When judging open mic I take it very seriously. ย ย As an music artist myself I know the heart and time that goes into alot of these performances and I really appreciate you all putting yourself out there like this and blessing us with your sounds. ย ย ย I have discovered some of my favorite musicians here on steemit through open mic and various other steemit music community projects. ย ย When judging each performance I rate on a scale of 1-10, taking into account instrumental and vocal performance, sound quality, video quality, lyrics and over all attitude and energy factor. ย ย

I am very, grateful @yourmercury I can't begin to express, how much overwhelmed I am, introducing me to this platform, is the best thing that happened this January, and less I forget you Re one of the most amazing falsetti singer I have heard in a long time, and then of course you double as an amazing friend. Indeed you were my Fireman yesterday, you know right, ?๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.looking foward to making good music with sooner than later.

Its energy like this that really excites us all!

@yourmercury you were incredible this week as well! I had to break the score system down this week to decimal points and you were really close in my friend, I love those highs this week really great stuff. I want to see lots more from you, I am such a fan. I saw that you must have brought them over as you all had same background, ya'll know how to sing your butts off that end of the world, fantastic stuff all around.

I cant thank you guys enough for this platfom.. I just told @mrprecious that he made number one for your pick and he's so over joyed that he's talking as if hes laughing and crying over the phone. Thank guys for this medium . you guys shouldnt stop now pls dont

good work of @kendramoriah and @mcmarian

ahhh.....One day....

Well done to the champs and a debt of gratitude is in order for your exertion...

Do you have any exhortation in the matter of what could convey me to a 8.5+ level? Beside more vitality/flare and engaging video/sound altering...

I'm lost regarding what else I can do. My last section was the Super Mario Drum Cover. Don't hesitate to tear it aparts...

I don't believe there's any critical hole in ability level, and don't have to win anything, yet I don't perceive how I continue missing noteworthy say.

I need be more fruitful here and trust your input can help other people also. I've seen some incessant past instrumental supporters vanish and possibly a little discourse could stop that if individuals are getting debilitated...

Carry on dear...โœŒโœŒโœŒ

Your post is very nice and I enjoyed your post and your post songs are so beautiful

Thank you so much! โ™ฅ

So so many artists....whoooo!

Thanks for the Honorable mention!:) That song means the world to me!!

Congrats man @mrprecious .. So sad I was not around to watch you guys sing that day .. I will be there live next week trust me

Congrats to the winners and thanks for your effort.

Do you have any advice as to what could bring me to a 8.5+ level? Aside from more energy/flare (difficult to project into an electronic drum kit), and entertaining video/audio editing (which I personally don't see as realism for an open mic performance), I'm lost as to what else I can do. My last entry was the Super Mario Drum Cover. Feel free to tear it apart.

I don't think there's any significant gap in talent level, and don't need to win anything, but I don't see how I keep missing honorable mention. I want be more successful here and hope your feedback can help others as well. I've seen some frequent past instrumental contributors disappear and maybe a little dialogue could stop that if people are getting discouraged. Thank you.
