Hello guys! I'm really happy to bring you this post.
The contest was really awesome, a lot of good talent participate on it and I'm truly happy to highlight the winners of my contest. The criteria to choose this winners was based on the followings elements:
* Originality: When I talked about originality I was looking for the people to improve the chosen songs by including personal touches to it.
* Quality: This point was implicit but I'll highlight the fact that I looked for the artists to bring the best possible work in every way for the contest.
* Performance: I'm always wanting the people to show how they love what they're doing, if you're singing and you love it, let your face and body show that! If you're playing, show it! Dance! Scream! Move!
Also, I put a couple of rules to count the participation as a valid entry:
* Upload NEW Entries: This was a rule to not upload old works as an entry because that would be counted as a repost and have less weight within the contest.
* Don't make plagiarism: I don't have to explain this point, if you made plagiarism, then you're out.

I really love the voice of this girl! I've always told her it when we sing in any Discord Server where the party start. I feel a little bit sad because I didn't saw another entry for her but her participation was truly funny and beautiful, it was a classic song from Disney from "The Little Mermaid". The best part of it was that she was acting while she was singing! What a performance! Just listen to this!
