To my readers who aren't in this community, the theme for this week's competition was Techno and EDM. It was a call to energetic vibes, dance, and electrifying performance.
It was a theme that, after watching many entries, I realized just how demanding it is. Obviously, most of us weren’t very familiar with it, so it pushed many artists, especially the ladies, out of their comfort zones. But surprisingly, 80% of the performances were very entertaining and creative.
That was when I also realized I’ve been missing out on a lot happening in this community, the benefits the judges have been enjoying all along: the fun, the laughter, the awe, the excitement… and many other feelings that come with watching performances from artists all over the world. Believe me, the feeling is different and it’s good for my health:)
I sincerely thank the organizers for allowing writers to share in this experience. It’s a privilege.
Like I said earlier, everyone did incredibly well. I can’t highlight all my favorites, it would make this post longer than it should be but there are a few performances I just can’t shake off. They’re still playing in my head, and I have to show them some love.
@yaremiverde1 's spirit is alluring and captivating; the way she used her body language was wonderful. Most importantly, she has an awesome vocals and I was locked in from the beginning to the end, and I don't regret it one bit.
@meyateingi was a strong vocalist who always does justice to any song she chooses, but I didn’t know she could rap!
Mehn! Rockabye isn’t an easy song to cover, but she handled it beautifully and with confidence. I was totally vibing to her energy the whole time, her delivery was dynamic and engaging.
@lordbutterfly often says, "with Vibes, everyone is a winner".
From my perspective, this means every artist who participated walked away with something valuable, whether it's growth, exposure, confidence, or just pure joy from creating and sharing. Winning isn’t always about the price, sometimes it’s about finding your own voice in the crowd and being super proud of it.
So if you’re reading this and you can sing, play an instrument, or express yourself through any form of performance art, Vibes is waiting for you with open arms. The competition runs every two weeks, so jump in and show the world what you’ve got:)
You might not be perfect, none of us are, but what matters is that you’ll improve with every trial, just like the amazing artists I’ve come to admire here.
Thank you for reading. And to all Vibes artists, keep creating, keep vibing, keep growing, and keep promoting Hive.
