Chapter 57 - 8

Perfect. I will create for you a complete wiki / fandom of the 3rd edition of Snapmusic XQ1, with all the detailed narrative of the three countries involved (USA, Angola and Canada), including the trajectory of competitors, results, controversies and legacies. --- 🌍 Snapmusic XQ1 - 3rd Edition (International Music Competition by streaming) The 3rd edition of Snapmusic XQ1 was marked as one of the most intense, emotional and controversial of the history of the competition. With three central nations - Angola, United States and Canada - the dispute became known as the "soul edition against the show", bringing together narratives of overcoming, tragedy and global musical rivalry. --- 📖 Context of Edition 3 After the success of previous editions, the Snapmusic XQ1 organization confirmed that 54 countries officially supported the project. The 3rd edition brought not only musical performances, but also cultural and political debates. The most commented novelty was the 100 trillion prize of symbolic cultural GDP for the two finalists. While the US has already entered as favorites by the strength of their musical industry, Angola came as a surprise, and Canada faced the weight of the tragedy involving its only representative, Hunter Baker. --- 🎤 Angola - Buju Manuel (Jawad Manuel) Name: Jawad "Buju" Manuel Age: 24 Year Origin: Lubango, Angola Musical Genre: Reggae (Subgenres: Dembow, Dancehall, African Blues) Label: Bellflower Records 📀 Musical Trajectory Buju Manuel gained notoriety with his album "from The Voodoo", a reggae Dembow of Experimental Spirit, whose Hit Marijuana Fields Forever turned Hino Underground. Then he released the single "Rude Child" and the album "Fumin 'up" (Dancehall), consolidating as the largest Angolan name of the modern reggae scene. His shows in Luanda clubs and Addis Ababa attracted crowds, yielding an African tour with 72,000 people in 2 weeks. Despite its controversial style and eccentric episodes (as unexpected interactions with fans on stage), Buju proved to be a charismatic and unpredictable star. 🌍 Relevance in Competition Angola reached the final with a narrative of cultural authenticity, representing African roots against Mainstream Global. His rebellious image and his mystical lyrics made him a youth icon. It was considered the "moral champion" by critics, even after losing the title to the US. --- 🎤 United States - George Collins (George Davis) Name: George Collins Davis Age: 29 Years Origin: Portland, USA Musical Genre: Pop (Subgeners: Ska, Bubblegum, Disc) Recorder: Gamma Beats 📀 Musical Trajectory George began as an artist rejected by industry (accused of "sound as a monkey howling" in frustrated hearings). However, he signed a contract with Gamma Beats and quickly won mainstream. Their "Matter of Elegance" (Ska-Pop) and "Tracking Pavements" (Bubblegum) were successes, but the album "The Monkey Who Trashed The World" (disco-pop) the catapultou to the top, with more than 400,000 copies sold and almost $ 6 million of revenue. The consecration came with the 10-week world tour, bringing together 440,000 spectators and billing impressive $ 29 million. 🌍 Relevance in the George competition represented the economic and industrial power of American music. His show was great, technological and choreographed - in direct contrast to Buju's organization. It has become the official champion of the 3rd edition, conquering for the US the title and symbolic cultural GDP. --- 🎤 Canada - Hunter Baker Name: Hunter Baker Age: 26 Years Origin: Quebec City, Canada Occupation: Independent (without label) Situation: DescullsInd / deceased 📀 Musical Trajectory Hunter Baker was a Aspirant who never managed to contract with large record labels, being rejected by Lincoln Beats and Symmetry Beats. Despite his personal fortune and interest in music, his talent was constantly criticized. The tragedy marked the edition: Hunter died at 26 years, shortly before the competition, leaving Canada without active musical representation. His absence was reminded throughout the edition as a "cultural ghost" that haunted the country. 🌍 Relevance in the competition Canada officially ended in 3rd place, receiving the symbolic title of "Zero relevant artists". Hunter's case raised debates on mental health in the musical industry. His memory became an underground worship among Canadian fans. --- 🏆 Official Results - Snapmusic XQ1 (Edition 3) 1. 🥇 United States - George Collins (POP) Total Public: 440,807 Recipe: $ 29,401,208 Cultural GDP: 100 trillion 2. 🥈 Angola - Buju Manuel (Reggae) Total Public: 72,154 Recipe: $ 3,525,429 Cultural GDP: 100 trillion 3. 🥉 Canada - Hunter Baker (Undefined) Total Public: N / A Revenue: N / A Cultural GDP: 0 (Received the seal of "Zero Artists") --- 📌 legacy of the 3rd edition was marked as the cultural confrontation between US and Africa, between spectacle and authenticity. Angola consolidated as a new African musical power. The US maintained global pop hegemony. Canada has become the "forgotten country" of Snapmusic. The idea of cultural GDP has turned global meme, but also critical about how music molds geopolitical power. --- 🌐 Page Fandom - Snapmusic XQ1 (Edition 3) Official Name: Snapmusic XQ1 - 3rd Edition Year: 2025 Countries: USA, Angola, Canada Theme: The battle between pop spectacle and authenticity Reggae Awards: 100 trillion cultural GDP for the first two controversy: Canada disqualified after death of Hunter Baker Likely quote: "The Soul of Africa against the Empire of Pop" --- 👉 wants me to also make a line From the time (timeline) detailed of the 3rd edition, with each phase and presentation of the competitors (type a complete guide of episodes, as if it were series)?
