🥇VIBES WEEK 3 WINNERS // ANNOUNCEMENT🎵
Here we are, at the end of the third week of Vibes. 😎
We had a total of 150ish entries. (A visible growth from last week)
Judging for week 3 has been as difficult as ever but we had the help of the amazing @vessymink.
Each of the musicians deserve to win the main award, but unfortunately only 6 had to be chosen in the end.
...but, as we like to remind folks.
With Vibes everyone is a Winner!
Our Vibes supporters and curators have distributed more than $7800 USD worth of upvotes for this week plus the cash reward. As the value of Hive rises so do everyone's payouts.
We are on the path of reaching our "silent" goal of $500 000 USD of value created by Vibes inside a year.
As the value of Hive grows this becomes a reality.
Our hope is to bring you all many more weeks of this as we intend to make Vibes the biggest web3 music competition on the internet!
There was a tiny mistake made for the announcement we did on the Twitter live spaces. Somehow one of the entries from last week mistakenly snuck in. Its not only the Hive frontends that are subject to errors. Happens to the judges as well. 😜
So for this week there will be only top 5 prizes instead of 6. That just means more rewards for next week.
Without further ado...
VIBES WEEK 3 WINNERS 🥇:
1st Place: @edenmichelle
https://twitter.com/eggstamusic/status/1765457479238877532
We have had our eye on Michelle for a while now and this week her performance really impressed. She went the extra mile, set up everything outside during the sunset on top of a building and that kind of effort alongside her musical talent, song quality, really tells the judges that shes really committed to this little competition of ours.
Definitely worth the listen for any music lover.
She will also be going on a live call with our partner for this week, Heartfeldt records and its creator Sam Feldt.
Tuning In will as well be doing a lengthy interview with her in the coming days once the interview with Verbal-d comes out.

2nd Place: @ciskodisco.opus
https://twitter.com/CiskoDisco/status/1765821002984951832
This performance is why we do this competition week after week. Seeing new musicians come to Hive and share their talents with us. Vocals out of this world. A hypnotic traditional sound that leaves you wanting more.
We love it and we love you guys. Hope to see more of you in the coming weeks.
3rd Place: @sunsethunter
https://twitter.com/CHOEYGMUSIC/status/1764159389639037333
Something that we have been missing in the first two weeks of Vibes. Some nice and pure rock. Sunsethunter is bringing it hard and we just enjoyed watching him do it. Talent on full display and plenty of it.
We obviously got rock covered now but where are our metal heads? I want to hear some Symphony X, Iced Earth, some Nevermore, a bit of Dream Theater.
An empire for something out of Odyssey. Those who know, know.😎
4th Place: @krpmusic
https://twitter.com/krpmusic_/status/1765978163925192746
There are many great songs but few and far between are those that stick in your ear as quickly as did this original by Krp. A complete package if we ever saw one. Something to download to your sound carrier. Web3 is harboring so much talent that you do not need to look elsewhere.
Thank you Krp for sharing this and we hope to see much more of you in the coming weeks.
5th Place: @mozay
https://twitter.com/Realz3313/status/1764396387242758640
Another newcomer to our lovely little place in web3 that he put his stamp on right away. Lyrics are imperative but delivery is key with rap music. Mozay delivered on all of it. We loved it, obviously, but even more importantly the response from the audience when we did the announcement in Vessys space a few hours ago was amazing across the board.
We just want, nay, need more. Hope you stick with us for the long term as the people demand it!😎
REWARDS:
The winners will receive their rewards in HBD inside a few days. 1:1 USD value.
New Hive users will be DMed before they receive their funds to make sure they have saved their active keys and they dont have a problem accessing their funds. 🙂
@edenmichelle - 550 HBD + Exclusive interview with @tuninginxyz and a live session with Sam Feldt
@ciskodisco.opus - 300 HBD
@sunsethunter - 200 HBD
@krp.music - 100 HBD
@mozay - 100 HBD
(Bonus of 50 HBD for each place from this weeks unspent community rewards)
Hopefully sometime this year the devs will fix what is broken so we can finally start bringing in outside audiences. I love and hate our Hive devs at the same time.😂
Besides the cash prizes the winner will receive the coveted Vibes weekly NFT award that will be minted on @nftshowroom with the name of the winner. NFTshowroom lets you mint an NFT for only 1 US dollar and on Hive there is 0 fees! Something to consider.
The trophies for last 2 weeks have already gone out.
Something to remember us by and brag to your friends with. 😎
And dont forget guys, week 4 of Vibes has started already!
For now CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS!
And see you guys this week. Each week we start again.

Good to see so many talented people stepping up on stage every week. Gives me something to enjoy daily. Always something new.
Converting the countless hours I spent creating my own stuff over the years into the ability to support something like this is refreshing as well. Always wanted to see the music scene pop here. Can't complain about sitting on my ass and being rewarded for enjoying music either. Good times.
Thanks and congratulations to everyone for another great week.
Congratulations to the winners for the excellent work you have shared. You are great. I enjoyed their presentations to the fullest.
Congratulations to the winners, very well deserved, you guys have great talent.

Congratulations to the winners
Congratulations to @edenmichelle my fellow South African! Congratulations also to @sunsethunter who totally rocks! Congratulations to the other winners - I will be watching you too from now on!
Your song last week was insanely good. The lyrics wow. Its such a shame we cant give away more than 6 places because that was amazing. I have it bookmarked. :)
Thats what wer faced with. Feeling bad seeing so many amazing performances and having to choose in the end.
Ah man, thank you so much for this message! I totally understand! Let me try harder when I get home to my microphone and other toys to give you a fuller sound.
I also understand that you want to encourage new people to Hive, and I'm already coming up to 2 years of benefitting from this site.
I hope we can find a way to encourage all the new accounts to stay and enjoy contributing to other posts like Hive Open Mic and Hive Music Festival!
Also teach them that HBD savings has a great 20% interest and that Hive itself should be coming up for a bull run. So basically they're fashionably late to the party but the party is still on!
Im always pointing this stuff out. As they become more advanced in using Hive they will look into all the other opportunities as well.
Sir please reply ... Can i singing song in my language.. i am a Bangladeshi people.. yes or not reply please 🥺
Yes.
Thanks for responding ☺️ and love you all time ❤️❣️
Congratulations to the winners. Very nice performance guys 👌
Congratulations to @edenmichelle and all the other winners!
You guys all rock, let the music play!!
Amazing...I took my time to go through the performances of the winners , indeed they deserve all the rewards. A big shout out to the judges..they did a great job👍
Greetings, community, I am very excited because in this Week 4 of the Vibes Musical Contest created by @lordbutterfly I am participating for the first time with the song "Soy Puerto Abandonado".

As Open Mic was got me more involved in HIVE years ago, this is great. However, I suggest that having larger stakeholders routinely throw big upvotes on new members/entries will likely artificially raise the expectations of new adopters. This can quickly shift into potential disappointment when those big votes taper off on future posts. Sharing music can be a vulnerable experience, and some newer adopters may assume that a huge reward means that people liked their content... only to be left wondering if people didn't like it when upcoming posts scrape to earn a few bucks. Outsized returns will also start to spoil people, and make posting more about the $ than sharing their music. Seen it before...
Some of these performances have amassed thousands of views on X. People did like it. Many of what you're labeling "new members" aren't getting their start in music here. They're being introduced to something new to them. Nothing is stopping them from bringing their audience here either. It's actually being encouraged, though that takes time. Nothing is stopping fans and supporters of music from coming here to support them with votes either. And if they actually manage to figure out supporting music in this fashion is just another way for the audience to earn here, I'm sure they'd be delighted. Though I realize I can point this out clear as day and people still won't get it.
The reason why some show up to create content and get paid, then leave once they're not getting paid, is because they did literally nothing to build an audience/viewership/readership for themselves.
Vibes approach is different than Open Mic. It's also an opportunity to set the music scene and new members on a more productive path with reasonable expectations. I'm supporting some of these performances and artists simply because I like what they did and enjoy music in general.
Of course these new Hive members aren't getting their start in music here. Much of what you said sounds great, but it feels adjacent to my main point. I've been on and around Hive for 6.5 years and to two conferences to personally know how this community often approaches new initiatives and its new members, and how that doesn't take long to fade. I can spell that out, but some people won't get it, nor want to. Music is a strong personal interest of mine, so I'm all for this initiative, and for artists to get and feel rewarded for their material. Anything that supports the arts and true organic content on Hive versus traditional internal inflation sloshing is a huge leap forward.
You and I have talked about the music scene here struggling to get off the ground.
It's an opportunity to avoid making the same mistakes all over again and it's off to a really good start. You need to look much deeper than just those rewards on posts to be able to see the entire picture. There's a lot of moving parts here. For instance this is the first community on Hive attempting to make the community itself go viral. Nearly everyone else created communities, attempts to pay contributors, but does nothing to attract outside interest. Akin to putting all the necessary resources into publishing and printing a magazine so it can sit in a box in your garage.
I'm giving it a chance. If people involved (stakeholders, those behind Vibes, the talent; everyone involved) manage to fuck this up and make all the same mistakes again, I'm outta here. Been around for 7.5 years and have witnessed my fair share of wasted potential and wasted money. I know what to look for.
I've often pointed out a few missing elements that end up being the reason projects fail. This one so far has been combining several of those elements into a neat little package, which is why I'm not surprised to see how fast it's growing. And there's still room to improve, which is a good thing, because that's called progress.
I've also criticized paying new members top dollar for simply introducing themselves, then struggling with the reality they must build a supportive following all on their own. These folks are bringing talent and an audience to the table straight out of the gates and will be able to be consistent, plus set themselves up to succeed here in the long run if they choose to do so, quite easily. But I'm not here to tell them how. I'm just here to enjoy some music.
Salute.
PS It's been awhile. Good to see you dude.
It's not only new members seeing high rewards. Week one someone who has been around for two years was highly rewarded because she performed really well and this Vibes thing also helped her get over 5000 views on Twitter. Came out of nowhere and blew everyone away.

Keep making beautiful music.
I'm glad we all are making progress as musicians.
This is another week to explore... I've seen many entries and I'm still expecting more
Big congratulations to the winners, it was indeed strongly contested.
I can only guess how difficult it must have been. I went through some of the entries and it was melody after melody, making a choice ends up being hard.
Kudos to the judges, the task you are taking care of is not an easy one.
This is so amazing 🥰🥰
Just wanna say that this contest is a real “Vibe”. I truly think it will bring many to Hive and keep them there. Keep up the great work.
