Dtube Does Not Work For Entering Steemit Open Mic Or The Open Mic Songwriters Challenge --- by @luzcypher
Prizes
- 200 Steem from @pfunk
- 100 Steem from @luzcypher
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
It is very important to say the words "Steemit Open Mic Week 70" at the beginning of your recorded video and as the first words of your post title. Posts without that at the beginning of the title are hard to find in the feed and we may miss your post. Posts without those words spoken in the beginning of your live, recorded video do not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song by you it is very important you put the word "original" in the title and "originalmusic" as the second tag of your post
Here is an example of a correctly titled post.
These requirements make it easier for judges and curators to find your posts and reward you for original songs. Ignoring these requirements only hurt your chances of earning rewards.

Steemit Open Mic Process
Keeping it short and sweet, here is the flow of considerations for the Steemit Open Mic contest:-
Need to promote community participation in the spirit of Steemit Open Mic night.
So.. Steemit Open Mic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging are encouraged.
However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for Steemit Open Mic night.
- So.. community voting as the first filter, before internal voting.
- Another problem: late submissions are usually disadvantaged as they get less attention on the contest post.
- So.. we've tried to mitigate such a problem by including unique votes of Steemit Open Mic submissions in their own blog posts.
IT IS CRUCIAL WHEN YOU RECORD YOUR VIDEO THAT YOU SAY "STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 70" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO
We're looking for real live musical performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. They will be disqualified from the contest.
If you want a chance to earn the prize, make a new video and say STEEMIT OPEN MIC Week 70 at the start of it.
.

Suggestion: openmic must be the first tag to enter open mic, but adding other music-related tags (such as music, music-trail) may help your post get more attention and perhaps even get curated by those music curators.
If your song is an original song, add orginalmusic as your 2nd tag. This will help curators know it is an original song which currently pays a Steem bonus to you.
Thank you all for the participation!
Thank you for the positive support from the Steemit community and special thanks to @kevinwong for his guidance, encouragement and support and @verbal-d for writing a song that inspired the idea and @pfunk for helping and supporting Open Mic.
Please contact @luzcypher in SteemitChat for any further questions you may have and you can post your entry there too. https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic

haha that intro
HAHA I'm loving this intro - lots of energy! :D
Hello good afternoon friends of steemit and open mic today I want to present my instrumental version of the song Hello by Lionel Richie. I made the arrangements for solo guitar based on a musical track obtained on the internet. It is for me a classic of romanticism and an excellent retro theme that will not mode in a way since it is an ode to love and a poetry made song.
https://steemit.com/openmic/@gaborockstar/steemit-open-mic-semana-70-hello-cover-lionel-richie-by-gaborockstar
Verdaderamente este es un gran tema del recuerdo. Letra original en inglés y excelente interpretación de la canción. La historia del video es muy buena , me encanta. Saludos profe.
Hola profe gran trabajo sobre la pista de este tema... felicitaciones y espero siga compartiendo buena música para los que nos paseamos por esta plataforma.
