Steemit Open Mic Week 66 - See Who Played Open Mic PART ONE - 365 ENTRIES WE HAVE TO MAKE 3 POSTS
Steemit Open Mic is an online, live music venue to give musicians a chance to share their music with the Steemit community and get their music heard. It is growing larger every week thanks to all of you.
This week's entries have been split into two posts because we have so many entries that we broke Steemit!
Steemit Open Mic Week 66 - See Who Played - Part 2
Steemit Open Mic Week 66 - See Who Played - Part 3
To see all the entries you'll have to go there too. The post was so big the website would not post it!
The number of entries shot up from a record 201 last week to a new record of 365 entries this week! Awesome guys!
Not all of the entries are in these posts though.
However, I spent as much time sorting through people trying to scam the open mic contest as I did listening to music. Some of the entries were not very good and we will have to make some changes. I will make a post about that soon but in short, we are looking for musicians and entertainers, not people mumbling into a mic with a look on their face like they are bored as hell.
If you're not a musician you really have no business entering Open Mic. You don't have to be a professional but at least there should some musical quality to what you are doing. This week was rough guys trying to find the gems through all the crap. I will make a dedicated post about this and we are going to have to enforce a certain level of quality to keep Open Mic what it is meant to be, a community of musicians.

Steemit Open Mic is growing so fast that a lot of people are entering without really reading the rules so I want to do a little house cleaning for those entering the contest.
The bigger this grows the easier it is to miss someone's entry post so following these rules makes us see you have entered so we can upvote you.
For more on the rules read, What Are The Rules To Enter Steemit Open Mic And Why Do We Have Rules Anyways?
Steemit Open Mic is a live music contest and we need to know that you are really playing or singing us a song for this contest in particular. That's why to qualify for prizes you must say "Steemit Open Mic Week" (next week number) at the beginning of your video just before you play or sing the song. If you don't or if you edit in later onto a prerecorded performance you will not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song then you MUST put the word "original" in your title. Original songs get a small bonus right now and it is easier to find all the original songs with the word added in the title.
The next thing that is very important it to begin your title with "Steemit Open Mic Week (the current week number)" and place that as the first words of your title or I may not be able to find your post at all.
Here is a perfect example of a correctly titled post to enter Steemit Open Mic for an original song.
This would be a perfectly titled post for a cover song entering the contest.
Theses posts are really easy to find in the feed and upvote them. They can easily be spotted so none of them get missed.
Also, @andybets from steemreports.com is working on a chart that is targeting those keywords to sort all entries by originals and covers.
It is SO cool and you can check it out with this sneak peak of the Steemit Open Mic Chart
NOTE: The order this chart lists the performances has no bearing on choosing the finalists. Just because a video is at the top doesn't mean they will win the contest.

Thank you for addressing many of the growing-pains and issues we've all been experiencing here lately at the open-mic @luzcypher!
I hope to do my part to assist you in helping to clean things up some with a forthcoming unofficial entry I'll be making for week #67 - keep an eye out for it everyone - there will be lots of Open-Mic "Tips &Tricks" for both newcomers and longstanding entrants alike!
Hi luzcypher,
