VIBES ALL TIME WINNER'S LIST WEEKS #1 Through 24! By @Verbal-D Official Vibes Judge

Consider this as a sort of Overall Vibes Winners' Newsletter, which helps to keep the judging process transparent and fair. Everyone can use and access this compiled information, which also helps everyone to vote more intelligently and responsibly.

I will post it always before the Top 10 List is shared to the Community for the Community Voting process for the following week to help you all make a balanced decision when community voting for the New Winners of Week 24

Just want to give a shout out recognition of praise, respect and acknowledgement to my Vibes Team Members @lordbutterfly who is the Founder of the Vibes Web3 Music Competition. He organizes and does a lot of the ground work, behind the scenes developments, marketing campaigns, and an overall overview and expansion of the Vibes Web3 Music Competition and @silentscreamer, aka Marica, who is also Co-Founder and an Official Vibes Judge, an extremely gifted singer and master violinist, previous 1st place winner of the Steemit Open Mic Contest and now, current Host of the X Spaces for the Vibes Weekly Winner's Announcement with me. You both are awesome and amazing!

So to continue...Not only will this list Highlight the Best of the Best from our Music Community within the Hive, but it will also grant full transparency in one place for us Judges and the Community alike to be able to quicken and enhance the efficiency and fairness of the voting and judging process when deciding the winners together for the future weeks. Now anything can happen :)

The List, WHICH IS NOW IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, provides to the community WHO has won the Vibes Web3 Music Competition so far, WHICH PLACES they have won, and HOW MANY times they have won each placement for their performances.

In the VIBES Competition, everyone is indeed a Winner, but there is a special acknowledgement to our All Time 1st Place Winners. Scroll down to see the Top 1st Place Winners' List in Pure Gold.

FUN FACTS & DETAILS TO PONDER OVER:

How long (Time Duration) should a Winning Entry actually be?

The first ever Vibes 1st Place winning entry by @attabotty with his Native American Flute Playing over a backing track that he produced was a nearly 3 Minute long entry, with 2 Minutes and 34 Seconds of actual Music Play Time.

So the recommended Time Length of your Video Entry, IF we, Judges, were to consider your Entry to be a winner of one of the Top 6 Prizes, would have to be a Minimum of 2 Minutes of play time, EXCLUDING Introduction.

@attabotty's introduction was a brief and effective 15 seconds long, Please try and keep your intros short and to the point please, some 1st place winners even gave a very short 3-5 second intro and went straight into the music, which is also SUPER effective.

@isbelhiv02 Has the shortest 1st place winning entry at a bare minimum of 1:49, just under 2 minutes, excluding his 9 second intro, and a 2 second outro, but this entry is STILL one of my all time favorite performances- It is just a top quality, epic and amazing Live Singing Performance with Live Guitar playing, and it is a Cover Song done Extremely Well with lots of dynamic vocal range shown and overall skill displayed.

@sekani & @bobbydones were clever and during their longer 22 second Intro for their 1st place Winning Entry in Week 10, they played the instrumental from the very beginning of their video to help pass the time. Some intros can be drawn out, too long and dry, but adding some music to the background is a great idea, as long as we can Hear and understand you!

@fondew has the longest 1st place winning entry with over 4:45 Minutes of pure skill, creative entertainment and technical musicianship. Please remember, if you plan to do a longer song, keep the quality and control of the music at a high consistency throughout with little to no weak spots where you lose focus, emotion, tonality and rhythm like he clearly shows full control and ability in his performance.

There have been many amazing entries that Could Have Won, but they were simply too short! The shortest entry we have received that was fantastic, but couldn't be nominated to win was around 25-30 seconds! Don't tease our Vibes listeners! Give them want they want to hear, a true listening experience! Give us at least 2 Minutes of singing or play/performance time, which doesn't include your introduction, for a valid winnable entry.

How Many 1st Place Wins Have Been Won By A Musician/Performer Playing A Live Instrument?

Out of 24 Total Weeks So Far: 10 Winning Entries have involved the playing of a Live Instrument, which is an extremely important factor to consider for judging skillsets and difficulty levels of the performances submitted. It is a talent not to be undervalued or overlooked!

Our 1st Place Winners who played live instruments in their winning entries are @attaboy, @edenmichelle, @eliezerboyer, @ezemann, @fondew, @isbelhiv02, @joseacabrerav, @obaro, @sunsethunter & @vessymink

How Many 1st Place Wins Won With a Produced Singing Performance?

Out of 24 Total Weeks So Far: 3 Winning Entries, @edenmichelle, @moses08, and @sunsethunter have produced vocal performances in their entries, which weren't sung live. However, when listening to the production of their entries, clearly all of them have amazing, highly capable singing voices and possess the skillset and ability to perform live singing if they wished. And all have performed live many times in other entries. Although produced singing isn't technically against the rules, Live performance singing will always be preferred over produced singing entries, which also helps to make the judging easier and keep the overall authenticity intact of the music of the entries being accepted into the competition.
