Hive Open Mic Week 138 / Blackmagic - Little Mix (cover) By @jessicaossom
Please subscribe to my channel thanksπ
The power went out at my house earlier today. I needed to charge all my devices so that I could record myself for the HIVE Open Mic presentation. Since my sister lives not too far from where I live, I decided to go there.
You'll notice that the intro background is different from the rest of the background. This is because the first clip was recorded at my sister's place. Sadly, my device's batteries died before I could finish recording. When I thought about it, I realized it would mess up my video if she turned on her generator.
I wish I had magical powers that could stop inflation in the country. This is not just food prices, but also fuel prices. I had to buy 2 liters of fuel at Γ4 of the normal price. It's crazy.
I scored the lyrics of the song I wanted to present while driving home after getting fuel. The issue with the video I recorded at my sister's place was that I kept looking at my computer's screen but kept missing the lyrics.
When I got home, I decided to wear a bit of makeup and recorded the video again. This time, after 2 attempts, I was able to sing the song without looking at my computer's screen.
However, I did struggle with singing this song; the tempo of some parts, especially the chorus, seemed too fast for me to keep up and kind of made me strain.
The key or pitch was another challenge. It was kind of high and I almost started straining at some point too. I'm learning to sing high notes with strength and without straining. Hopefully, I will be better someday.
I also had to trim and replace some parts of the video after I was done. Finally, I designed a thumbnail on canvas.
I hope you enjoy watching the video.
I downloaded the instrumental with backing vocals from Tubidy.mobi
FULL LYRICS OF BLACKMAGIC
Take a sip of my secret potion,
I'll make you fall in love.
For a spell that can't be broken,
One drop should be enough.
Boy, you belong to me,
I got the recipe
And it's called black magic
(and it's called black magic)
Take a sip of my secret potion,
One taste and you'll be mine.
It's a spell that can't be broken
It'll keep you up all night
Boy, you belong to me,
I got the recipe
And it's called black magic
(and it's called black magic)
I'll make you fall in love.

What an amazing performance here friend your voice is so angelic that I really want to keep repeating time after time.. You actually chose a nice song also, kudos dear
Thank you so much for visiting my post and for the nice comment, I appreciate it.ππ
You are welcome friend
Hi dear Jessica, I hope you are well after this marathon journey to record this song; the effort takes a lot of value when we show a great attitude and we manage to do what we plan to do even if it rains or lightens.... I congratulate you for it, I know that little by little you will be doing everything with more mastery, remember that practice makes perfect and I have seen how you have evolved especially with the lyrics that have always been the difficult part of your presentations π.... good job my friend πΉπ!
The song is certainly high in tonality, the phrasing in the chorus is not as simple as it seems, but you were at the height of the song, I would only recommend this time to be careful with the cuts in the editing, since the great thing is that the video has that feeling of continuity well established and thus allows to appreciate everything better, no matter if there are slight flaws, all these elements can be corrected!!!
A hug for you my dear friend, I thank you for having accompanied us in this edition of the Hive Open Mic, with a very cool song, you did well ππ You Rockkk!!!! πππ
Oh you remember π
Yeah, practice makes perfect and I won't stop practicing so I can be better in all aspects.
Yeahπ© it's not as easy as it seems, you are totally right there.
Okay, thanks for the encouraging words, I will improve that in my next presentation π
Thanks a lot π€
Oh yes, I remember hahaha π, but I loved your progress Jessica, really don't stop, you are doing great and despite how difficult the song was, I liked your vocal performance, I trust in that potential you have to explore and exploit ππ!!!!
Courage, you can do it, you have already advanced a lot, we remain focused on success, you have our support πΉπ.... You Rockk!!! πππ
Thank a lot π
I will do my best to the better

So glad to catch your singing this week. It's a great song choice for this week's occasion, and you carry it beautifully. And your story about the challenges you encountered during your recording process is eye-opening. Food, fuel, battery power... there are so many worldy sources of energy that seem to hold the power. But the real power is the force of something far greater that is infinite and always abundant: π. Your post here illustrates exactly this.
I'm glad you stopped by.π
I totally agree, thank you so much.π€π

Awesome entry for this week. Keep working!
