Special thanks to @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, @passion-ground, and @meno 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 Open Mic Week 78 My First Entry Morning Light Original Song --- by @yidneth

---

---

Your strong vocal delivery cuts through the beautifully supported guitar textures and really makes the performance shine. Chill bumps formed all over my arms listening to you sing and I can't wait for another hit. You're turning me into a junkie for your music. Congratulations and keep bringing it on. - @luzcypher

---

What a bloody brilliant entry in every single way, your playing is impeccable, the composition is perfection, the vocals are stunning - the overall performance was spectacular, I had high hopes of your entry when you mentioned it and my dear you have not let us down.

I love the way your music captures or is creates the moment, your lyrics are deep and heartfelt - the lyrics are beautifully balanced with the melody, which you perform to such excellence it was truly breathtaking! - @krystle

---

I was so stoked when I saw @yidneth's entry this week. It's no secret to anyone at this point that she is just a magical musical creature with a unique approach to music. I've said before that to me she is just a fairy that found Steem and happens to not be shy in the slightest.

It would be difficult for me to sum up everything that the song represents, in a way the song has evolved from its original inspiration and to me it represents overcoming all fears, but I will let her do all the talking. You honestly just need to hit play, if you are not engulf into the experience in less than ten seconds I would recommend calling a Doctor. - @meno

Please forgive my reference but this wonderful original song of yours has the beautiful and entrancing essence and effect of Evanescence's "My Immortal" all over it. I don't know if you have ever gotten such a response from performing and sharing this piece before but both your song and hers compliment each other so well. You have a riveting and exceptionally virtuous voice that weaves throughout and blankets your flowing piano playing and the poetic lyrics you have crafted are highlighted by the dream state melodies you've paired them up with. This definitely calms the soul and provides a lingering glimmer of hope and light for the times we are surrounded in seemingly never-ending darkness and despair. You can story tell tales and wisdom with that lulling voice and bring peace to a large, and unsettled crowd. This was such a great first entry and we look forward to more of what you have to showcase for our inspiration and growth. Thanks for this charming and memorable gem. - @verbal-d

Steemit Open Mic Week 78 Hinds Brothers Flesh Temple --- by @gonetroppo

I love music that doesn't need flashy elements to make it shine, this is a pure and absolutely stunning song and performance - with a focus on the lyric and the emotion this song is designed to melt the soul.

A unique song with a genuine feel, there is a depth to the song - the way it makes the listener feel is intense, there's a sense of beauty in the melancholy.

This song was such a pleasure to hear, you guys captured an amazing sense of emotion in this composition and presentation - just a stunning entry that gave me everything I could ever want from it, it really is musical perfection.

I am an instant fan and so look forward to hearing more from the both of you soon, just a stunning performance that I can't get enough of! - @krystle

---

This was one of those special surprises of the week, I absolutely loved this song in more ways than one. The interaction of the harmonies along with the familiar sounds a folk guitar. The melancholy of the melody compliments beautifully lyrics that talk about the loss of a precious life and coming to peace with such an event.

I took it upon myself to visit some of their other work on social media and these guys are the real deal. I fully expect to see them making a big splash on Steem. - @meno

Steemit Open Mic Semana 78 Entra En Mi Vida Sin Bandera Cover --- by @jotadiaz12

I love how you sang this entry with so much care and focused passion. You truly care about the sound you are delivering and the impact it makes on the audience. You captivate while living in the moment as you create it how you envision it. This was such a good cover choice as it highlighted your range and complimented your ability to showcase conviction and translate the emotions and message of the song through the universal language of music. As usual, I listen to entries before translating the lyrics if they are provided and although I didn't look up these lyrics, I do appreciate the feel good frequencies and positive build up energy that this song provides. You and your guitarist friend put on a display of pure skills, musical chemistry and connected with the audience with ease. This was a very high quality entry, and we thank you for sharing this with us. - @verbal-d

Steemit Open Mic Week 78 Yo No Quise Enamorarme Original Song By Honeymoon 1611 --- by @honeymoon-1611

---

I went and translated the lyrics and I like the general feel I got from them (translation doesn't always convey meaning as well as intended so I am really flexible with how it comes out), I loved the feel of the music the emotion you conveyed through the melody and your playing was just brilliant.

Your singing just stole it for me, as I have said before your vocal control is amazing and you do it all while playing is even more impressive - you have an amazing voice, you control it with precision and the emotion you convey in your vocals is just perfection.

I am thrilled you shared your song with us, I hope that we can encourage you to continue to amaze us with your talents and create even more songs in time - I for one cannot wait to hear them. - @krystle

---

Bravo on your first successful creation, you have created such a beautiful song. You are quite the skilled performer and your voice has a mature low end range that adds that sound of an experienced woman revealing her heart and wailing out her emotions. The guitar melodies drove your celestial voice forward and you capitalised on the momentum you created. I listened to it a couple of times absorbing the musicality of your voice and you utilise volume very well, decrescendos and crescendos placed throughout to keep the song engaging and your vibrato is such a great attribute to your performances. Thank you for sharing this original with us all, we look forward to your next creation or cover entry. - @verbal-d

Steemit Open Mic Week 78 Original Callin Out My Name --- by @markaustin

---

I’ve had my eyes and ears on Mark since he first arrived at the Open-Mic venue a month or two ago. Bear with his long introductions folks – they are a bit long for a reason. You see, Mark has to “loop-set” the stage for his epic one-man-band performances. Give him a chance to ramp-up, get up and running, and man I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed! Mark just sinks into his freshly looped grooves and never resurfaces until he has ripped through every blue soul-searching riff that one could hope to experience. This one rocked me in particular, and I especially loved his vocal harmonies. You get your blue-self down brother, Mark! - @passion-ground
