LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it...
Be AWARE - there is a new rule!
so many great voices,
but the votes are in and...
Back at it, NOM NOM. I know you're all very anxious to find out who we picked as winners so let's jump right in... This weeks winner is @xtianevu! The difficulty to sing this combined with the popularity vote secured you a win this week Christian! His cover of 'Stay' by Rihanna was pretty amazing. Check it out!
Coming in behind him this week is the beautiful voice of @jessalin. You have to hear this. Was just such a good tempo and thanks for including the original, you were spot on! Excellent job sweets, congratulations.
This classic here was sang by someone who is no stranger to the winner's circle here. Billy Holliday was a great choice by @fishyculture to round out the diversity in this contest. Congrats fishy and well done :)

Community
This is all made possible by the fantastic community and involvement we have here on Steemit. Huge kudos to @enginewitty for the vision and @michaeldavid for initially helping to orchestrate this contest. Big hugs to all our fellow allies that help out with spreading the word. We have recently joined the SMA (Steemit Music Alliance) Discord server and Killer's Karaoke has his own channel over there, so do join us and get more exposure for your good times and talents. Big thanks to @seveaux for giving us a spot! Music is an art and a passion of ours and we would now like to bring up our strongest supporters and think you should give them a Shout too!
