Steemit OpenMic Week 94 🎼//ON MY OWN// Les Miserables --- by @silentscreamer
Right from the very start, @silentscreamer - or "SS" as I like to call her, grabbed hold of my heartstrings, and for 4+ minutes, she never let go! This is a profoundly beautiful song rendered in equally exquisite fashion by one of our very own – the immensely talented, Marica! I LOVED THIS – “All On My Own!” - @passion-ground
What could I possibly say about our talented @silentscreamer that has not been said before? At this point I'm running out of words. Her violin playing as stunning as usual and her delivery was just exalting. That's the only new word I can throw into the mix that remained unused. However, now... I'm out of adjectives. -@meno
2nd Place
You won 40 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic Week 94 Hola Original Song --- by @ilazramusic
Whoa! – One could not ask for a catchier tune! @ilazramusic has once again outdone himself in assembling and producing “Hola!” His vibe is always positive, his music - always captivating, and “Hola” captures all of these blessings that have been graciously bestowed upon the musical genius who is otherwise known as @ilazramusic. ”Hola,” my brother… NICE! - @passion-ground
" oh man, all the parts in this are played out fantastic and I love the vocal, really in the groove, totally felt it, good energy, good vibes, perfection my friend you always impress " - @soundlegion
I just love the vocals on this track. Not only the catchy lead, which of course is so contagious it should come with a warning. But the details of the background vocals, the openness of the voices keep my heart cruising. What a beautiful track, excellent production, just brilliant. - @meno
3rd Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic Semana 94 Latiendo De Mas Cover --- by @jotadiaz12
Okay, so in my estimation, these two talented performers are the “sleepers” here in week #94! Both of them set forth incredibly impassioned performances in covering this most beautiful song. The backdrop, audio quality, vocal and guitar performances are simply outstanding! Bravo! - @passion-ground
Fresh faces, I had no idea what to expect when I first listened to the performance. I had no idea I was in for such a treat. The vocals are an almost indescribable combination of fragile and emotionally powerful. Which obviously sounds like a paradox. The guitar performance was also spot on, some of the best rhythm guitar I've heard in a while, understanding the necessity for dynamics and buildup. Bravo!! - @meno
" the feeling here was just so pure for me, I particularly loved the vocals as they were delicate yet strong, I felt a humbleness to this that charmed me to bits. Fantastic work guys, this is what openmic is all about, fantastically heartfelt performances such as these. I do not need to understand a word being sang to feel this" - @soundlegion
4th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic Week 94 Or Long Way Home Or Orignal Song By Daily Musings --- by @daily-musings
There are those times when I'm lucky enough to find a song so simple, so sweet that it captures me instantly. It's not the first time @daily-musings is on my radar, but this original tune had to be on this list. I had to go back to it, listen again and if a song does that to you, if it makes you feel like it was too short.... Then it's no doubt a little gem. - @meno
--
"ohh I was just in heaven on these lyrics and vocals. Very emotive delivery and that is a way to get me. I am all about getting them feelers on and @daily-musings pulls down in and grabs you from the inside, I was warm all over with this original piece." - @soundlegion
5th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Openmic Week 94 Sami D Barid Phoenix --- by @samidbarid
" The movement on those keys is just incredible. Loved the beat add to this was really filling up the sound in a cool way. This was a mission track, really driving emotions in there. Was feeling it big time.. fantastic work, and the way it ended on that note and your hand just holds there... bang" - @soundlegion
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
Congratulation Everyone And Thanks For Playing Steemit Open Mic. Winners can collect their Steem Monster Cards at SteemMonsters.com#

I remember when I listen to @silentscreamer for the first time, I was totally in LOVE with her work, today I feel really HONORED to be part of this top with her.
And of course, the other winners can't stay behind, I feel really impress with all the talent that anyone can found here on this beautiful community and family like OpenMic is.
It's an honor to be part again on this top with the mr @samidbarid, loved a lot that piano (an alien like always).
The lady @daily-musings (beautiful name by the way) shocked me with her voice, that was a beautiful and captivating performance a lot, you win my heart this week.
And the last ones (but no less important) are the amazing duo that @jotadiaz14 do, is really interesting to see that the person that is making my publicitary work on my music career was the producer of this OpenMic entry, I feel really proud for this.
NICE WORK FELLAS! Keep making so much sound around the world, lets make this planet better with beautiful music. STEEM ON!

Excelente trabajo Ilazra, felicitaciones por este nuevo triunfo y que sigan los éxitos!...
Congratulations my friend, thanks you for your beautiful words <3
At this point i really dont know what to say.. All my commenting "wordiness" aside.
Every week is a thrill. Every week im amazed by the talent, by your guys work, by your guys commitment.
Its fair to say openmic has become one of the greatest projects on Steem. And for what its worth coming from me, im going to bombard steemit.inc with emails to get you guys some delegation. Almost to week 100 and i dont know anyone that deserves it more.
Much love guys. ❤❤❤❤🎻🎻🎻🎻
First, let me say congratulations once again @silentscreamer! You are rocking the Open Mic! Anything you can do to squeak the wheels and help move this project along would be awesome and greatly appreciated. Bombarding Steemit Inc. with emails to nudge them to delegate sounds like a great idea. The more people in this community we can benefit and the more people chime in the better. It certainly wouldn't hurt. Thanks for your continued and enthusiastic participation and for sharing your wonderful music.
Congrates to all the winners this week. So much talent out there, I continue to be inspired by all the different entries and surprised at the quality and sheer brilliance of these acts. Huge love to Luz always for bringing this action together in such an incredible way, another thing I am constantly blown away by. My faith has been raised in humanity lol
This whole Steemit community has inspired my faith in humanity too. Thanks so much @soundlegion for bringing your talent, love, and attention to this project. You really make it more fun and special. I really appreciate that.
Woohoo thank you so much for 4th place! It sure feels good to be home. I'm glad @meno and @sound-legion caught 'the feels' with this one. That is all an artist can ever hope for!
"The feels" on this performance is contagious. You really brought it home. Congratulations @daily-musings.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you for the fun you always give all of us. Thanks for the price and thanks for everything openmic family 😁
You really shredded those keys this week!
Hey, your discord link in the post is invalid. When creating a invite link in discord, remember to choose the option to keep it permanent for sharing purposes.
@luzcypher, It means chances for those whose votes are high.??
The number of votes has nothing to do with winning the contest if that is what you're asking. Read the rules. It has more to do with entertainment value and performance.
If you click on each person's post who won this week you will see that some of them had very little votes but they still won. You will find their links below each video.
Wow! Congrats to all the top 5ers and everyone who entered!

Thank you for the lovely post and of course for the mention.
great, congratulations to the winners!!
Openmic. realmente, es un micrófono abierto y me lo imagino como un periódico de voz que nos hace llegar al pueblo, a la gente... a la comunidad. En mi caso particular, sé que no soy un gran cantante y lo hago para hacer conocer mis composiciones. La mayoría de mis temas obtienen buenos comentarios y steems, pero lo que en realidad me complace es poder constatar que hay gente que me oye con atención. Y hasta me aplauden o les extraigo una sonrisa con una canción chistosa.
Tantos años en el medio y esta plataforma me ha permitido llegar a los demás.
Les deseo que continúen los éxitos y les doy las gracias por el apoyo. Dios les bendiga.
¡Very nice! I Like the 4 place (You know) =B
Congratulations to this week's winners! I can see that there are many talented artists and everyone deserves the chance to win, so keep practicing and give the best to get ahead :)
SO many congrats to everyone.. love and hugs to all. Some seriously beautiful sounds coming from this stage, as always.
xoxo
