" A special shout out to @pedromrmourato this week. Last week there performance would not play for me and I was unable to include them in my top picks post. After graciously being guided to a video I could watch I am very blown back of course as everyone else was by the incredible talent. "Frozen" was a fantastic performance and this week you guys shined again. We have a rule that a contestant cannot place twice in a row so I cannot put you in my top 5 this week, but your getting huge shouts this end from @soundlegion, a big welcome to you guys and one hell of a performance yet again.

Too cool to see I was at 8.5 or higher!
Many thanks for taking the time out of your week to judge the open mic!
class this songs
Yes!!! And now for the first time came on her list... I need a bullet in my head right now! Every week openmic gets tougher and for every time I do not come out on a judge list ask myself why and try to improve, getting into details of what they look for in an artist..Unfortunately it will always be subjective, Been On your list this week out of so many entries makes me feel truly recongnized and special Thanks maam and to all dah judges in dah building!!! Jah bless y'll
@etemi you are so amazing! You have def made my lists before, you should go back and see. I have had you in honorable mentions a couple times and possibly in my top 5. You are quite memorable. I love your work. the talent each week is so good, its really the mood of the judge on that week. So many could be chosen, we all like to put our thoughts down and come up with the best possible choices for winner circle. @luzcypher does a great job rounding out what should place and not each week. For me lots of factors go in, I listen to voice and instrumentation and song choice, if its original or cover, I pay attention to delivery and lighting and audio, and over all attitude and feel the performance gives. I try to put myself in the head of other listeners bringing together a list that reflects all the best sounds that week. So many people dont get in my list and later I think damn they should have been in there that was just so good, its hard giving praises to everyone each week with so many great entries. This end I sit back and enjoy each entry and try to decide which one pulled my feels up most. Talent all around. blessings to you and I look forward to more performances from your end.
Wow.. Are you for reals. Smiles. Damn forgive my ignorance my bad, and yes I can understand how much work you guys have to put, out of hundreds of entries sometimes I put myself in your shoes though judging a show its a really difficult task to do knowing that you have your personal life and always need to bring a list out every week and yes I really do appreciate that you and some judges recongnize my act nothing makes an artist feels happier than been recongnized, so thats why even when I dont make top 5 from each judge I always check out for honourable mentions and top picks and also ask myself what went missing from my video if I am not amongst the previous winners... Yeah I know, sometimes it depends on the mood but surely its a show and everyone wouldnt get to top 5,so I dont get hard feelings when that happens it doesn't make me feel less, it only makes me keep learning and keep pushing to be a better singer... And thanks for the hint too.. Once again I apologize like man I just remembered..!!!
wow you pick incredible performance and i listening them one by one and really enjoy listening, thanks for sharing such amazing performances with us, Stay blessed
