Steemit Open Mic Week 142 Or Best Part Daniel Caesar Ft H E R Or Cover By Ilazramusic Or --- by @ilazramusic

This was a special cover indeed, it was a breath of fresh air to breathe, truly it is music you bleed, and first place we've surely agreed. Some would say you killed it, assassin's creed, sweet notes rolling smooth like scattering beads, people can be locked into their emotions, but you allow escape, expression and them to be freed, sharing the gift of music is a universal deed, hungry souls clamour for more, and with that harmonic delivery you shall indeed feed. Whether vocal instrument or a reed, amongst the weeds you're planting seeds, and inspiration will blossom when you pour our passion and succeed. - @verbal-d

*When the music starts I was intrigued, then I heard the first sustained vocal line and I knew I had first place - just an amazing performance, on every single level that did not let down in any way.

The playing is just brilliant, I cannot fault a thing - but it's truly the vocals that steal the show, not to mention the stunning addition of harmonies that just took this to the next level.

Your vocals were absolutely amazing, I was struck at first by the falsetto - then by your expert control of it, I really can't say enough to praise this performance.

This was an amazing performance, executed with precision and skill - I couldn't be happier to be starting back up again this week with entries like these!* - @krystle

Steemit Open Mic Week 142 San Francisco Original --- by @skycorridors

First off, apologies and deepest empathy for the loss of your home to a flood, life weighs upon our weakened shoulders and sometimes the world drops down upon us with a thud, that is saddening that you lost your close friend and bud, but may a new relationship blossom in its place, a beautiful rosebud, keep trucking through the sinkholes, quicksands and mud, moving forward in a new direction, free from hurt and no bad blood, shout out to my city San Francisco, you deserve second place, as far as this list goes, your original is sweet to the ears, very blissful, far from abysmal, reflects beauty as a crystal, thanks for sharing this gem, it's official. - @verbal-d

*I'm so sorry to hear the motivations behind this song, but so thrilled you shared the beautiful music those shitty circumstances lead too.

You absolutely had me entranced the moment you began, the tone and feel of the song is warm and inviting - there's a hopefulness trickled throughout, that lightens the feel adding even more texture and emotion.

The playing is perfection, I love the mixing - I really prefer being able to hear all the lyrics and the vocals without too much overpowering it all.

I have to say though it was your vocals that had me sold, what a brilliant vocal range and control you displayed throughout - I absolutely adored that song and hope to hear more soon.* - @krystle

Steemit Openmic Semana 142 Banana Pancakes Jose Cabrera Ft Pablo Granadino Jack Johnson Cover --- by @joseacabrerav

This had a lot of soul and flavor, more than Banana Pancakes, you two did fantastic and had a lot of fun, respect! Now give me a handshake. This music can heal the body more than plants called mandrakes, an entry each week from the duo @joseacabrerav and @granaddiction we should mandate, you make all the listeners tune in, military attention, stand straight! You continually give and give and give the gift of music rather than take, competitors gotta watch out for you two like land snakes, you don't hold anything back, never parking or stopping, only full clutch throttle, without any use for the handbrake, your hunger makes you push through the heat of the moment when its your cue, because you know what's at stake, keep sharing your talent, keep progress and always have faith, I watch your video smiling, inspired, never with a sad face, I just wait until the end of the song, and say to myself, "Now that's great!" - @verbal-d

*You guys just smashed it this week, so awesome to see you both here - this is what I've been missing, just some amazing tunes performed sublimely well.

As always your playing is perfection, just like a second nature for you - then there's the bloody brilliant vocals, you guys are both amazing singers.

The vocal tone and range was well displayed, the texture you created with the song worked so well - not to mention the kick ass vocal agility displayed (with what appeared very little effort) and best of all you guys looked like you had fun!* - @krystle

You won 13 Steem

Steemit Open Mic Week 142 Bleeding Love Cover --- by @drewley

We know we are human when it is love we are bleeding, God made us as such, and I am glad we are still breathing, life is shorter than the distance we are seeing, and beauty can be found through the turmoil, just like your piano playing and duet singing, don't falter and miss a step, keep inspiring and proceeding, pain not only awaits to those who keep leading, but strength and growth for themselves and those following behind, succeeding, love will prevail at all costs, time does stand still when we are blind to the frost, some don't want our happiness and are quite crossed, but we just remember the sacrifice made for us, Christ's love at the cross, not all is lost.... - @verbal-d

*What a lovely rendition of a beautiful song, just brilliant - the playing as always is just superb, you always create such a full warm sound.

The singing was great, I loved the harmonies you did well to control your volume to not over power your lead vocalist - I loved the breaks in her voice, just all round awesome performance.* - @krystle

This is just raw and wrapped up with style and flavor, sushi :) You are the bomb, but can defuse the moody profusely. A beautiful voice brings peace, believe me, you'll make an impact bringing light and hope to the sad and gloomy. - @verbal-d
