Another stellar turnout with some new voices showing up! Just amazing how many spectacular singers are out there! After tallying up all the scores, the winner is... @vera.carla! She sang [Corinne Bailey Rae's - 'Like A Star'](https://steemit.com/karaokecontest/@vera.carla/karaoke-contest-week-27-like-a-star). You definitely had a 'song in your heart' this week! Very well done, and it looks like you got people cheering for you too! https://youtu.be/mx0Z87MjBTk

Singing her way back to the winner's podium this week, the vocals of @queenbee! She sang a beautiful version of ['Don't Know Why' by Norah Jones](https://steemit.com/karaokecontest/@queenbee/steemit-karaoke-contest-week-27-don-t-know-why). Soft approaches with perfectly powerful accents LOVED it! https://youtu.be/-uYGSWZzGGU

The final winner this week is a newcomer to the contest. Congratulations to @honeymoon-1611. Her cover of [Danny Rivera's 'Madrigal'](https://steemit.com/karaokecontest/@honeymoon-1611/karaoke-contest-week-27-madrigal-danny-rivera-cover-by-honeymoon-1611) was a serene escape. We loved the natural acoustics of the room you sang in. Be sure to come sing again this week! https://youtu.be/wZoiqbNuHL0
