Special thanks to @verbal-d, @meno, and @krystle for help judging the contest this week. Great job.
Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connections on Steemit through music. Watching the collaborations 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.

Top 20 Trending Open Mic Posts
NOTE: Having a trending post is not how judges pick entries for their Top 5 weekly picks. Sometimes you will trend because of a variety of reasons. Congratulations! You don't need to win Open Mic to earn rewards and build your audience. As you can see, sometimes trending posts earn more than the contest rewards! You could trend by getting curated by other curation groups like @curie for example. The judges look for entertainment value which, of course, is very subjective and varies over time. Just keep playing and engaging with the community which is the whole point of Open Mic. If you love music, we love you.

Steemit Openmic Week 116 Dueles Jesse Y Joy Cover By Crist Mounicou --- by @cristmounicou
I got goosebumps so many times I had to get up and get a glass of water. Week to week @cristomounicou keeps on improving not only the performances which of course have always been amazing, but the arrangements and the dynamics of the musicians that accompany her entries.
Words fall short, you just have to listen... - @meno

Steemit Open Mic Week 116: "Back Against The Wall" (Cage The Elephant Cover) --- by @k0wsk1
--- by @k0wsk1
This is the first time I've heard of this band and of course of this song, but I absolutely loved it. I don't really know what to say about Kowsk1, he's so talented it's almost ridiculous. Not only does he play all the instruments like a true pro, but the quality of the recording and the mix is so spot on, I could imagine listening to these recordings while driving around town. - @meno
*You absolutely nailed this song man. Love your version as much as the original. Keep up the good work. - @luzcypher
3rd Place
You won 26 Steem
Open Mic Week 116 Carol Of The Bells --- by @kayclarity
This was such an amazing treat, brilliant to have you back with us Kay - and with such an incredible entry, your performance was absolutely flawless in every conceivable way.
Your playing is just brilliant hun, you absolutely nail this - the staccato form of the song is enhanced masterfully with your precise playing, just beautiful accompaniment.
Then of course there is your next level phenomenal vocals, just wow I really struggle to find the words - but this was exceptional, you completely stole the show with this masterpiece. - @krystle
4th Place
You won 26 Steem
Steemit Openmic Week 116 Baby You Make Me Crazy Sam Smithbaby You Make Me Crazy Cover --- by @justinzidi
You've gone and done it again mate, what a brilliant entry and performance - you just kill it every single time you enter man, it's incredible.
Your playing as always is perfection, timing and volume are spot on throughout - I like to combination of strumming and moments of silence, focusing on the vocals.
Yet again you just smashed those damned vocals mate, you have a truly phenomenal vocal range - it's awesome to behold.
Then there's your insane vocal control, the vocal gymnastics you perform are sublime and such an pleasure to hear - you really are an exceptional talent and I'm stoke to have you as a part of the Open Mic family, hope to see and hear more soon! - @krystle
5th Place
You won 26 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 116 Original Music You Only Live Once Miizjef2 --- by @katrina-ariel
A songstress through and through I simply love listening to Katrina's musical creations. As I was reading the post, reading the lyrics I completely connected to it at an almost spiritual level. It seems like this is one of those songs that just needed to be born. - @meno
Your playing is perfection, I love this composition you have created - it has some great texture and flow to it, the tempo really adds a sense of urgency throughout.
But it's your crystal clear vocals that just sent me into overdrive, you have such an impeccable voice I just can't get enough lovely - seriously it sounds almost angelic and I just couldn't get enough.
Listened to this too many times to count now, just a brilliant entry and performance - your incredible and I'm really excited to see what you have in store for us next time. - @kryslte
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
