Special thanks to @soundlegion, @krystle, @verbal-d, @passion-ground, and @meno for help judging the contest this week. Great job guys.

Watching the collaboration happen online between musicians who played and met on Steemit Open Mic is very rewarding and many of the people who play and post earn some nice rewards for playing a song.

For many, it's easier to get some Steem in your tip jar by playing for Steemit Open Mic than it is to play music on the street.

Steemit Openmic Week 76 Or See You Again By Drewsmusic --- by @drewsmusic

---

This goes to show you, don't need a song to be belted out to have pure emotion and meaning conveyed throughout - I absolutely loved every damned second of this song.

Just a nice different tune where the lyrics are given primary focus, your vocals just stole the show for me - the combination of the lyric and the melody are just perfection. - @krystle

---

Can somebody please tell me how is it that I had no idea @drewsmusic existed and that he could sing and write like this up until this week? What a song! It felt both familiar and refreshing at the same time. I gave his entry a couple of listens again as I was writing my top 5 only to wonder why is this not the kind of music I can listen on those long hours on the road.

Beautiful lyrics, amazing delivery and the harmonic composition left me wanting nothing else... Absolutely brilliant! - @meno

---

*Alright, so he starts out innocuously enough – but then, BAM – his vocals come into play, and, WOW! Drew’s keys, in concert with his spot-on vocals, quickly come to the fore and take over like nobody’s business! “See You Again” is an exceptional composition and performance that most definitely requires hitting the “play-button” to appreciate it in all of its passionate beauty. * - @passion-ground

Openmic Semana 76 Lentosa Fullband Funkmedia Cancion Original --- by @funkmedia

---

I’ve got to give a special shout-out here for this “BAND!” As musicians, we know all-too-well just how difficult it is to bring forth a “band” of artists to collaborate toward a common purpose. These guys are living proof that such an accomplishment is indeed possible – however impossible it may seem for the rest of us. I loved everything about this production! I love the music, the video, the audio quality, and the intermittent drum solos, along of course, with the dynamic musical tempo-shift in bringing this tune to its brilliant and rather fun and entertaining conclusion! - @passion-gound

---

I know how difficult it is getting a band together and you had it all and the chemistry was pinpoint, crystal clear. You executed this real smooth funky original song with finesse and melodic teamwork. The good vibes, the passion, energy, visual and sound quality were all at a high caliber, which made this an easy pick for my number 1 choice this week. From all the fun you are having I am sure a jam session with you all would be a memorable one. So much creativity and talent in one room is bound to continually produce more hits and inspiring entries to come. With that said, thank you for this gem and looking forward to your next one. - @verbal-d

Open Mic Week 76 Original Song Out Of Touch --- by @ed-the-songster

---

The texture of your voice is just amazing, there is a gentleness to the feel of your vocals - they are thick, clear and yet so emotive and textured.

A really stunning song, a brilliant performance - your playing is divine, but I still can't get over those amazing vocals mate.

I just can't get enough of this and I am so stoked to have heard it in this weeks Open Mic, I so look forward to seeing what else you have hidden away for us in the future - @krystle

---

Yo, man – Ed just lays it down nice and easy, but in a rather captivating and entertaining way! On the surface, he seems like just a regular guy with a little somethin’ to say. And, what he has to say is rather stirring and meaningful on so many levels. Such a great composition and performance, Ed! I loved this, man – and that’s precisely why Ed found his way into my Top-5! If it matters at all, Ed, I don’t feel like I belong either! Thank goodness for that ever-positive “sunshine, brother!" - @passion-ground

Steemit Openmic Week 76 Turn Me On Original Song --- by @pedromrmourato

---

Well last week's winner was not about to slow down, and he came back this week with another amazing performance. A song about seduction will never get old, the performance and delivery of Pedro and his band is honestly some of the best I've heard out there and I'm not only talking about Steem of course.

I'm sure that they will continue to grow their following on Steem with giant steps every single week. Absolutely stunning song guys. - @meno

---

You turn any song you sing into an epic display of raw talent and honed musical skill as we can hear the experience, pain and joy intertwined in your vocal performances. Your conviction and passionate control of such powerful singing, backed by your two brothers in music on the strings of influence is what brings you back to the top 5 of the sequential week 76 following your first place win original There Is Love from week 75. You all are incredibly gifted and we are elated to have such high end quality performers raising the standard of the gift music for us all to enjoy. Your music makes us all winners in this community building competition. If we replaced many professional bands lead singers with the likes of your vocals, many bands would be enhanced by what you bring and provide musically. You have music capable of changing the world and even saving lives if you chose to wield such power in that way with what you write and perform, please keep that in mind and Please keep sharing and we look forward to more of your entries in the upcoming weeks. - @verbal-d

Steemit Open Mic Week 76 The Way I Am By Ingrid Michaelson Cover --- by @bonniepiesse

What a pleasing, heavenly and pleasant gifted voice you have. You sang this so well and was full of sweet inflections of the soul's essence. You are able to perform at radio quality level which is a rare and highly sought after musical quality for many performers. Live performances such as yours create moments worth experiencing and you cascaded us with your all in this great cover choice that complimented and highlighted your soft and gentle, yet refined and angelically toned voice. With your guitar playing or acapella, you would captivate regardless, because the music is from within being released effortlessly. Thank you for your gift of music, looking forward to what you sing for us all next. - @verbal-d

What an absolutely amazing performance, your voice is so soft and gentle yet so emotive and controlled - just wow in every sense of the word.

Your playing is beautiful, but for me stunning vocals always steal the show and that's just what you did - just a sublime entry and performance.

You have an amazing gift so thank you for sharing it with us, I really look forward to hearing what else you have in store for us in the future. - @krystle
