Steemit Open Mic Week 113

My Top 5 In Order

---

---

As one of the 6 judges, and as an original artist also, I aim to represent the best original artists in this contest from our wonderful Steemit community. I am keeping my ears open for cover artists as well, don't worry but creating an original song is indeed impressive, especially if executed and performed well. Best of skill and performance to you all next week. This week was filled with so many wonderful artists, even amongst the high amount of entries, and there were still many talented performers who entered, so forgive me if I didn't list you, I definitely heard everyone's entries. Also, be sure to check out the other judges' top picks for the week, @krystle, @soundlegion, @passion-ground, @meno, and @luzcypher, who hosts the Open Mic Contest. See you next week! And don't forget to please vote for @Pfunk, @Ausbitbank, @Luzcypher, @Curie, @Aggroed, @Helpie, @Lukestokes, & @Teamsteem as witnesses here https://steemit.com/~witnesses, all of whom are our biggest supporters who help to run, fund, curate, build and expand the Open Mic Contest.

1. @justinzidi's "Let's Hurt Tonight" By One Republic Cover Song

You sang this front and back with passion and soul and blessed the mic with some wonderful runs. There was no doubt about who won this week's Open Mic contest for me. Keep it up brother, you are inspiring.

2. @camuel's "Blackbird" By The Beatles Cover Song

Sounded like I was listening to the original recording, you nailed this cover song with perfection and this has high replay value. Easily one of your best and my most favourite of your entries yet. Great job this week.

3. @cristmounicou's "Give Me Love" Cover Song

You all did such a splendid job recreating this cover song and sharing your gifts of music. The chemistry you all have is getting stronger as well as your performances are improving. This was an easy breeze pick to the number three spot. Your sweet harmonies and smooth percussions were a treat for the ears.

5. @k0wsk1's "Traffic In The Sky" By Jack Johnson Cover Song

What is there to say that hasn't already been said bro? You are one smooth cat, and your cover choices of lately have been real serene yet memorable. Your multi-track videos often set you apart from the rest and you do a fantastic job layering it all out with care and great intention. Work ethic and passion like that pays off. Stay blessed.

Apparently a lot of people don't know that I, @Verbal-D, am a Hip Hop Emcee as much as I am a singer/songwriter/beat producer, so I will continue to showcase from now on the song that inspired @Luzcypher to create the Open Mic Contest that we are all apart of today. I hope it inspires you to write original music.
