Open Mic Week 70 My Top 5 Judges Selection --- by @krystle

Special thanks to @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, and @passion-ground for help judging the contest this week. Great job guys.

Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connection on Steemit through music. Watching the collaboration 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.

Steemit Openmic Semana 70 Original Me Va Mejor Jose Cabrera --- by @joseacabrerav

---

*Dude seriously loved every single second of this entry, you have just created a masterpiece - and I am beyond thrilled I got to experience it.

I love your vocals, your range and control are always sublime - as is your playing and it was a thrill to get to see you with a full band, just an all round brilliant entry!

You should know by now I am a big fan of yours and your music, it is great to see you stepping it like this - I see big things ahead for you my friend and I can't wait to hear all about it, look forward to what you share next.* - @krystle

---

Surrounded by an adept group of musicians and capable producers, his original rendition of “Me Va Mejor” came to life in such a way that I simply could not ignore. For all of his past efforts, and specifically for this one, Jose’ finds himself sitting at the very top of my selections for week 70. - @passion-ground

---

"I believe we have heard this song from Jose in the past but he brings it back to us fresh and sounding absolutely stunning with a full band. Great performance, fantastic video presentation. I can see a lot of heart goes into this music and I have huge respects for this artist. Truly great performance from one of our openmic stars ;)" - @soundlegion

---

*Easily one of your best songs as I have previously stated as well as your best performance. This original has been a favourite of mine for awhile and I am so glad you got a whole band together to truly bring this wonderful masterpiece to life. The vibe and energy in the studio is inspiring and I can tell you were in the zone performing this one with mind, heart and soul. The positivity and soulfullness in this song is contagious and can definitely be played at many festive events to waken people's liveliness up. The visual presentation and sound quality enhanced this experience to the maximum. And I thank you for once again raising the standards for the open mic to make our judging process that much easier.> - @verbal-d

Steemit Openmic Week 70 Love Dominiqueguitars Original Song --- by @dominiqueguitars

In his post, although he’s been absent for the last 2-weeks, Dominique share’s with us a recent acquisition – a new baby girl - in the form of a guitar that is, which he’s aptly named, Monique! It appears that the acquisition of this instrument has inspired him to write an “original song,” and for that, I am ever-so-grateful! Perched atop a table in what appears to be a restaurant of sorts, Dominique serenades us with a most spectacular and moving performance with his newly acquired, Monique. His vocal range and melodic musings got the better of me, and as such, our esteemed Sir Dominique has earned himself the number 2 spot in my line up this week. - @passion-ground

---

*What an absolutely stunningly beautiful song, I was taken on a beautiful journey - your vocals are just amazing, you look like your whole now with your guitar in hand.

I loved this entry so much, it'e even more impressive given you wrote it - I just can't wait to hear more from you, you have a clear talent and I am excited to see the possibilities ahead of us.* - @krystle

Open Mic Weeks 70 One Last Story Original Song --- by @iqbalubit

---

*What a beautiful song and performance. Your vocals on this sound so good and full of emotion. Absolutely love it! * - @luzcypher

---

*For this entry I was sold the instant I heard those amazingly flawless vocals, I am a sucker for vocal control and you just slayed that song perfectly.

The vocal arrangement is just sublime, I love the vocal gymnastics and how perfectly they fit with you lyrics and playing - just an all round perfect entry.

I am looking forward to hearing more from you soon, you have a real gift so thank you for sharing it with us. @krystle

Steemit Open Mic Week 70 What S Good Is Good Benleemusic Original Song --- by @benleemusic

Composition, lyrics, production quality, performance skills, and just a great overall message embedded in a rather engaging and catchy song. For those reasons and those reasons alone, Ben Lee has handily carved out a spot within my top-5 here in week 70. Great song, Ben! I truly loved it! - @passion-ground

---

Loved the song and your playing. I hope we hear more of your music soon. - @luzcypher

5th Place

Steemit Open Mic Week 70 Slowed By Notes Original Song Darren Claxton --- by @mrbloom

---

This is normally not my genre or area of expertise but I know a good songwriter when I hear one and you definitely have talent and skill. This was a very good entry and you are a natural at performing, plus it was a really nice original song that gives a feel good vibe and an easy going sound. Thanks for sharing and best of skill next time you enter, we look forward to it. - @verbal-d

---

A man of few words, Mr. Bloom states his case quite eloquently thru his original rendition of “Slowed by Notes.” His vocals are so on point, bringing his brilliantly crafted melodies to life in a rather compelling way. Needless to say, Darren, or “Mr. Bloom” as he’s otherwise known, could not be ignored, and as such, I’ve placed him here in my number 4-slot for week 70. -@passion-ground
