Like the bride always says: It'll look great on you! Here's a dress you can wear for other occasions.Indeed. The men look like they're about to take your Applebee's order, and the women look like they're bridesmaids in a wedding in which the bride is making sure she's the only one that looks good.
Also, with the exception of the one woman with the darker blue (they don't match with one another!!), none of the blues or reds match the hue and saturation of the U.S. flag.
My wife has several of those in our closet!

Hmm... that doesn’t sound promising. I guess we can’t sing classic american songs in the American Adventure anymore?
Yeah, they’re trying to have more modern songs and get rid of some of the older Americana - there are a handful of songs that won’t be coming back. I think the main line of reasoning was that certain songs, and maybe even the colonial look, is becoming too…“problematic.”
but I do think these costumes are temporary until they get the new ones made. But don’t ask me why they can’t use the old ones until the new ones come in. I can’t think of any new singers in the group that didn’t already have a costume assigned to them. Edited: but now my husband tells me he thinks they’re permanent. He’d know better than I, but who knows.

What, Moon River isn't an American classic? I hear the kids love it! Olivia Rodrigo will be singing it at the next Disney gala!!

Well, yes, some of the old Americana songs I was taught in grade school are indeed problematic because the original lyrics were just out and out racist, like Swanee River and O Susanna. (Someone needs to tell the 4th of July fireworks at MK about that.) Oopsie.

To be fair, they have been incorporating more modern music into their set list for years now.

If they are looking to modernize, no one will be offended when they sing “why men great ’til they gotta be great?”
Why, indeed.
Why, indeed.

We need time for things to happen.
I don’t necessarily love a move to a modern look, but with the way things have been going, just seeing these folks back at it is a welcome sight (and sound). Here’s hoping they decide to tweak things a bit in the coming performances.

Well, it only stands to reason, the two things that I always relied on to be stable and make me proud, WDW and our Country, has let me down. Maybe those folks are right. When you get older the thing to do is quickly die off because identity becomes terribly confusing.

Both of those songs were regularly performed by the voices.

Bob would like them to instead sing beloved Disney classics like “What Made the Red Man Red?”, “We are Siamese”, “Arabian Nights”, and “Uncle Remus Said” because “everybody loves Disney songs!”
Oopsie. They'll be getting a visit from the Commitee.
Sad thing is (and people pointed it out in the Harmonious thread), 'Arabian Nights' is indeed being performed as part of Harmonious. Oopsie.

I’m guessing they won’t be able to sing the national anthem either since some of the original lyrics are questionable.
They already cut the “penny” speech from “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” after a guest wrote a letter complaining about the “in God we trust“ portion. It only takes one person to complain for Disney to cancel something.I’m guessing they won’t be able to sing the national anthem either since some of the original lyrics are questionable.
