ROUND 8 - Winners
Wow! This has been such an amazing round, with 49 entries in total. This was the most difficult judging process so far, we had to push aside so many art/performances to pick the 5 winners, many of them considered and reconsidered to be among the winners, I really want to applaud you all on being so great to make this contest alive, and thank @gtg and @curie for making it happen by providing upvotes and rewards for the i-Talent
FIRST PLACE | Prize 26 SBD ⭐️
@edprivat
This outstanding cover of the eternal classic that most of us know from the movie Pulp Fiction was done so perfectly by Edouard Privat de Garilhe. If you are not a singer you might miss this fact, but to cover "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green it takes a really good vocal range and an exquisite falsetto performance. Al Green was one of the first artists that introduced male falsetto into soul and popular music, among with some other artists in the 70' s he made it masculine, instead of a funny or weak atribute for a male singer which was considered before.

SECOND PLACE | Prize 16 SBD ⭐️
@davidfar
Let me tell you why this man, Davood Faramarzi is special and an outstanding artist. He records, produces, sings and writes majority of his music by himself at home. Every segment you hear in his song Be Ehsas is him, and what he created is just amazing, the structure of the song is Electronic Dance Music, but the dynamics go beyond that, mixing in segments of "sound" that come from his homeland Iran, and do I have to even mention his beautiful vocals singing in his native language, much respect!

THIRD PLACE | Prize 10 SBD ⭐️
@jeffandhisguitar
There is nothing like a good old fingerstyle to make someones day, it is just something about the acoustic guitar instrumental that is soothing and relaxing and easy on the ears. Spacewalk by Ewan Dobson is a great composition among many from his works, I remember seeing Ewan a decade ago doing trance music with his guitar and his Raiden hat, that is a blast from the past right there :) Jeff nailed this performance with all the technicalities in their place, and his personal character added to it. I'm extremely happy to see such talent on this contest.

FOURTH PLACE | Prize 5 SBD ⭐️
@errymil
Once again it was not possible to exclude @errymil from top 5, even if this painting is a variation on theme from the last entry, it is just a heart warming sensation on canvas. In one of the early Errymil posts, I've read that he after being food poisoned had a rapid cleansing and when attempting to meditate and succeeding, he has seen a symbol what he later learned to be "Flower of Life", a very sacred symbol that appears across the globe for millenniums. I really felt something different in his paintings when I took a glimpse for the first time on Steemit, and after reading this I really understood that he took a turn for the best, reaching out inside, and using canvas to express his states of mind, you can read his #introduceyourself post here if you are interested in his story.

FIFTH PLACE | Prize 3 SBD ⭐️
@ramses.ber
@ramses.ber is a young man from Venezuela, by the looks of it his two passions are fitness and painting, both obviously working for him, I see he is improving himself as a person and an artists with each day and I can see him "going places" and making his earnings in the future with his talent. It is truly seldom seen that someone his age is expressing through "realism" this good, something that takes years of practice, I applaud you Ramses, great job!
