Worldvision 63, Erica

Besen had always been a nation, broadcasting or streaming the contests, since Worldvision 60. However, it wasn't until the 63rd edition came around, BSS stepped in to make a debut. Erica (Erica Rodman) was selected later in the sign-up process to represent Besen. She had prepared for a long time though, having her song played on Besenian radio, performing live at Besenian festivals etc. When she arrived on the scene of Worldvision 63, performing as number 6, she brought the energy and attitude. Her song, an upbeat pop track about overcoming a broken heart, faired reasonably well amongst the WV community- picking up 48 points- and placing 12th. BSS felt a certain joy, yet sadness that they had put in so much effort to then be rejected from at least the top 10. And so, they decided to put in more effort for better results.

Worldvision 64, KRENA

After their twelfth place finish of the last edition, BSS had a meeting to discuss the future of Besen in the contest. They said "We must bring something different." and they did. KRENA (Hans Krenas) had been producing and putting out popular alternative music for years. BSS approached him a few weeks after Erica's turn was up, and they immediately began working on the song. "I Live for You" became the one track in mind for Besen to use. KRENA was then confirmed as well as the release of the song. Craig Henisi turned up in Nekoni as the stage director of KRENA'S performance, choreographing the routine and directions. He performed well, and was positively critiqued- ending the night with 61 points, in 11th place. The improvement of results lifted the spirits of Besenians and BSS itself. They promised something higher impact for the next edition.

Worldvision 65, TBA

Besarfest was born from frustration with bad results, even through the improvements from the last edition. Big names like, Azzi, Hannah, Celine and Raquel Bontis participate this time. Three semi finals will decide whom goes through to the finale, in which the last three songs remaining will battle it out for the rights to represent Besen at the 65th Worldvision Song Contest.
