1 Man Band Is Back Steemit Open Mic Week 87 Burning The Candle Original Nathan Kaye 1527519041 --- by @nathankaye
"Nathan is the one man band, and he sure rocks it out for us here on steemit openmic. I love the energy each time and this piece really cracks so ahhh moments at ya, just power and fun and musical instrumental vocal crazy... give me more baby" - @soundlegion
If there is someone that wonders what "the trick" is to catch a judge's attention, here is a great example of "the trick"..... MAKE ME FEEL IT DARNIT!!!! Man... this performance might be Nathan's best imo since he entered the competition. The dramatic stop at the end leaves you handing for a second before he delivers the final blow. - @meno
Absolutely loved your performance this week. You're a true rocker to the core. Great sound and full of soul. - @luzcypher
2nd Place
Steemit OpenMic Week 87 🎼//TO THE MOON//🔥 Steem original + steem-promo project draft --- by @silentscreamer
@silentscreamer is to me one of the best examples of what it means to perform with passion. Its hard to listen to her hit those high notes and keep one's composure intact. This song was originally part of a project that never saw the light of day, however the song that came out of this project is as epic as it gets, and this song will resonate for years and years to come. - @meno
"For me I just cant get enough of the incredible talents of @silentscreamer , voice for days with so much power incredible lyrics and vocal intent is felt, I really love her instrumental work and every colorful and full of life video she presents to us so professionally." - @soundlegion
Loved your song. You are a woman of many musical talents and hearing you sing always makes me feel the passion you bring to your performance. Looking forward each week to hear more from you. I think it's safe to say I'm hooked. - @luzcypher
3rd Place
Open Mic Week 87 Someone Like You Ft Granadino --- by @mahomonroy
Our man, @granaddiction has brought forth the most beautiful and talented @mahomonroy in a splendid cover of Adele’s “Someone Like You.” @mahomonroy is simply unstoppable here, and in conjunction with the brilliant harmonies created in concert with @granaddiction – the two of them are simply fantastic, and an artistic force to be reckoned with! - @passion-ground
" A soft spot for this performance right here the harmonies are just spot on fantastic giving me them goosebumpy chills that I think are ever so telling for who should be in my top pick, I was feeling these notes all over my body guys, fantastic work." - @soundlegion
The harmonies you two sing together are spot on and blend together so well. You really brought something special to this performance. Let's hear some more! - @luzcypher
4th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 86 Love At War Silver Screen Original --- by @samcook
I seriously loved every minute of this song. It has that familiar texture that I immediately identify with what I refer to as the golden years of rock music. The Peter Gabriel, Yes, and I even hear some Parson in there too. Of course that makes me automatically love it, because its right up my emotional grid of nostalgia. - @meno
"What can I say I am a sucker for the band and female vocalist here, what a groovy chill song, I love the vibes putting out and feeling that laid back energy that just makes you melt into your seat. Really vibed to this one a few times." - @soundlegion
This song grew on me as it progressed, clinging to me like some lingering smoke in a hash den. Chilled me right out and soon I was high from the groove and cool message. Hope we hear more again soon. - @luzcypher
5th Place
Steemit Open Mic Week 87 12 Horas Original --- by @juanhobos
This performance blew my mind a little bit, after jamming to it three times in a row I'm wondering how in the hell is this not the music that plays on the radio. You might be trapped in the groove and miss completely the message. I would not blame you, but the song tip toes around darkness and attempts to grip to hope. - @meno
" I really love the way the video was put together. I very fun and catchy tune, the beat is awesome really vibin and I really like the flair in the vocal. This was an all around creative and awesome track and performance for me, really top knotch and stuff I love love to see here on openmic. " - @soundlegion
Great groove, multi-talented performance, well put together video, totally entertaining. What more could you want. Hope we hear more from you soon. - @luzcyher
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
