Excellent, now we have an even bigger drama in the 3rd edition of Snapmusic XQ1: Buju (Jawad) Manuel (Angola) - Reggae Star Consolidated, launched the album "from The Voodoo", sold 146 thousand copies, consolidating Angola as power in Reggae / Dembow. Hunter Baker (Canada) - gave up too early, died at age 26, and with this Canada was disqualified from the Snapmusic and received the shameful seal of "important singers in the competition." George Davis (USA) - after several humiliating rejections, finally signed with Gamma Beats and released the single "Matter of Elegance", which was gold (550,000 copies).

" LE DEVOIRA (Canada) "Tragedy in Quebec: Hunter Baker, the dreamer without a contract, ends his trajectory" "With his death, Canada is officially eliminated from Snapmusic XQ1.

"Buju has to be careful: moderate success is good, but he needs the second big hit." "Hunter became a tragic symbol of the difficulty of entering without real support from the industry." --- 🔍 Detailed analysis of the 3 competitors 1. Buju Manuel (Angola, 20 years old) Trajectory: Becomed Star Reggae / Dembow, selling more than 140k copies with the Voodoo. Force: Cultural authenticity, aesthetic innovation. Risk: Pressure to overcome moderate success. Impact: Angola consolidates as new strength in world music. 2. Hunter Baker (Canada, 26 years old, deceased) Trajectory: Always rejected by record labels, but has won respect for persistence. Strength: Human and inspiring narrative. Risk: Tragically, did not survive - Canada was eliminated. Impact: symbol of the fight against industry barrier. 3. George Davis (USA, 24 years old) Trajectory: humiliating rejections, but signed contract and launched gold single. Strength: Resilience and pop marketing. Risk: Be seen only as product of industry, not as genuine artist. Impact: Replacing the USA as world POP power. --- ✨ Conclusion: This 3rd edition of the Snapmusic XQ1 entered into history as the most dramatic: an African icon rising, a pop star reborn in the US and the Canadian tragedy. The public is divided, but the global narrative has never been so intense. --- Wanting me now a "musical commentary debate" TV-round TV style, discussing if George (USA) or Buju (Angola) should be considered the real moral winner of this issue?
