It's time to announce this weeks SGL winners! I hope you came prepared because we had some truly amazing entries this week, including some new faces I hope to see again with us next week.
"Despite the poor recording quality (which I understand the reason for), this entry had me dancing in my chair and smiling so big!
You are all so incredibly talented and clearly loving creating music together. It was impossible not to respond to such bright smiles and shining spirits! I do wish I could've heard the voices a bit more, but I'm still quite impressed!
I listened several times, loving every second of it. Your vibrant energy is contagious!"
"@Origen1618 with his others steemians friends bring us a group work in a beautiful ensemble, I have to praise the great work of the camera which developed movement initiatives to capture the voices of each of the girls, who were overshadowed by the sound of the other instruments (the cameraman managed to partially counter this fact by approaching the girls, an issue that notes the effort put in being useful for the creation of the video).
However, I could perceive @origin1618 aware of the gain with which the microphone capts audio and managed to have a clearer voice above the girls, without a doubt this publication caused me a lot of joy seeing how with this initiative a group of young musicians work together to create a wonderful piece made with a lot of love. Cheer up!!."
(The shorter version of the review, for full review see the judges top 5 post)
Firstly you guys smashed that video intro perfectly, I don't think I've ever seen it done so well especially with so many people. So immediate well done!
Now for the real review, holy wow this was absolutely amazing in every conceivable way. You are all so incredibly talented and you just all committed to this song and performance 100%, I just couldn't get enough I have listened to it so many times and still I go back for more.
This is why I have reviewed music for over 2 years on this platform, you never know what you're going to get and then out of the blue you get hit with something as phenomenal as this! @origen1618, @laveroarmas, @paomota, @eduardocdp, @jonathantvzla, @llovera and @fioalexa, I am honestly in a little bit of shock this was just a sublime performance on every single level.
You guys smashed the performance side of things, its all about the energy you bring to the performance. You guys just continually built that song more and more it was just fantastic, I couldn't stop moving and just wanted to dance around and know all the words so I could sing along with you.
This is just incredible, I am struggling to find the moments to highlight and mention to give you a better idea of just how much this entry kicked ass! Firstly the sound was full and cohesive, you were all perfectly in time. Not a missed note between you all, in fact I can't think of a single thing that could detract from that stellar performance.
You picked a high energy song that demands so much, not only from the musicians but the vocalists as well. Every single one of you were engaged with the song the lyric meaning and motive of the music, it was like watching a band that had been performing together for years.
‘’Aaaah , a steemian covering another steemian :) . Another good song from @wilins , Liked the relaxed vibe and setting . Just feeling the song and lyrics with your guitar , good job Edward ! ‘’
"This was a beautiful way to honor your friend's music. I'm sure @wilins agrees!
Your emotional connection to this song is palpable – a bit vulnerable and raw. Really beautifully conveyed. Isn't it lovely when other people's lyrics feel as though they were written for us?
While I was admittedly a bit distracted by the focus going in and out, I appreciate the overall quality of both audio and visual recordings. Though I know few can afford the investment, it's nice to see high quality equipment being put to good use!"
"@edwardstobia brings us a tribute from our dear @wilins, an exceptional musician and great friend that I could do through the Platform.
Understanding the connection and appreciation that these two creators have and the special tribute that brings our ears @edwardstobia Under an excellent effort in Audio and video, I advise from my point of view not to add so much reverb to the voice, only a little is always excellent, it is a matter of finding your ideal reverb."
"Wow @edwardstobia I have missed that stunning voice my friend, not to mention the emotion you convey so perfectly through it. I was so thrilled to see your entry this week and even more so when I found out it was a @willins track, it bought back some memories and made it even more sweet for it.
Your playing as always is just perfection, you always have the perfect mix (even though you're outside). I can always hear you clearly which for me is crucial as I am always drawn to the vocals (when included), and of course you absolutely delivered.
You have such an emotive tone to your voice, I can feel the pain and anguish. Yet there is a sense of hope that rings through or at least determination to try to be better, a powerful song with a powerful message.
I think you have done @willins proud with your rendition of his work, I absolutely loved every moment. Just wow man, you killed it with that entry and I really cannot wait to see and hear more soon!"
"This was short but absolutely packed with passion!
I love the playful perspective you chose – allowing us to see you from two angles made it that much more entertaining.
I'm quite impressed by your ability to play while standing up without using a guitar strap – not an easy task! And then you made my jaw drop with your awesome scat singing at the end – totally caught me by surprise!
"@mayneth brings us a cover of @camilosexto (may he rest in peace, he does not have Steemit but I can dream.) executed with excellent vocal and instrument technique, it is always a pleasure to hear a work with such a level of execution and with a clear intention to do Tribute to another amazing artist like Camilo Sexto was."
"@mayneth you make it all look just so easy man, it's like a second nature. Firstly I cannot ignore those bloody vocals for another moment, you just slaughtered that in every conceivable way.
The vocal range you displayed was truly breathtaking, I was a little flawed and listened through several times just to take it all in. In this instance for me at least your playing came second fiddle to your voice, though it too was perfection.
To me it was those insane vocals that just blew me away and keep pushing me further, as I listen again now as I write I can't help but listen in awe. Just an epic display of someone completely in their element, I just want to hear more from you now lol - so please enter again cause that was just bloody brilliant!"
if nobody else jumps in... does that mean I made a winner?!?
my choice was influenced... but hey ;)"
