Steemit Open Mic Week 143
My Top 5 In Order
As one of the 5 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, @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, @PRC & @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. @joseacabrerav's "Pintura Sobre Tela" Original Song
Your sound is rich, bassy and refined, flavorful original music that we will rewind, pouring out to us your passion and spirit as wine, holding back nothing as you deliver your lines, just happiness in this time, @joseacabrerav in his prime, sublime...
2. @jhon.slowman's "Still Got The Blues" Original Song
Beautiful bluesy lamentations, a father's heart crying out in desperation, a sunken ship to a distant relation, pain in an instant, far from indifferent, waiting, patient, and impatient, it feels like your baby boy’s in a different nation, or you're working in a far away land where you are supposed to be stationed, pouring out your tears through performances and radio stations, the sadness and longing is so blatant, you just want to hold him in your arms, reality is hard to face it, the wind blows away his fragrance, as if he didn't have scent, in his absence, you're sent to earn money which is past spent, daydreaming and night wandering in the past tense, memories you had cradling him in your arms as a dad's sense. Absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder, and this performance shows how powerful your love is as a father. Don't change, don't alter, stay strong, don't falter, push forward, don't saunter, release the love and it'll halt hurt. Reunite with your family brother in due time.
3. @gojen.gepsol's "Piano Metal" Original Song
The return of the metallic masked marauder, feeds us more than fodder, guitarring quickly sprinting, no plodder, the one who shows up new at the first band practice and makes everyone feel awkward, only because his intense playing garners everyone's full attention and applauders, while the others are now hesitant to play their instruments any longer...lol

4. @minuetoacademy's "Padre Nuestro" By Alberto Taulé Cover Song
Lullaby-melodics, birthing new sounds, embryonic, foreseeing wonderful creations, frequencies ultrasonic, layered romantic harmonics, beautifully lyricked and wit that's euphonic, piano playing and voice are synchronic, and the fullness of sound is awe inspiring, symphonic.
5. @drewley's "Your Song" By Elton John Cover Song
Powerfully inspiring, puts us over the moon, a song dedicated as a tribute to swoon, you both sing wonderfully in tune, piano mastery attacking as a military platoon, musical genius far from a buffoon, aiming for the heart with a musical harpoon, enjoying the fruits of your labor before the others are pruned, expected and then some, unlike the darkest of junes, you paint with performance an ear-pleasing landscape with marshes and dunes.

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.
