This is my issue with it. Just feels like a CD of Disney songs with no cohesive theme. We will see, maybe they will find a way to tie it together and make it work, but honestly, I’m not too optimistic about this one so far

I guess I never felt like CBJ tied together into a cohesive story.

Agreed. Good song, but a karaoke cover. Too similar to Shakira's original sound. Might would have worked better sung by a male performer to differentiate and of course made more country with better instrumental accompaniment, change in tempo, subtle lyric changes, etc. Even for a "Country Pop" sound it doesn't quite work. Not enough twang for the CBs.

I had to skip from page 81 to 86. The whining, gnashing of teeth, amateur criticism, and lack of imagination in the comments are nauseating.
I enjoy the Country Bears (some bits more than others.) I’m sure I’ll enjoy the new iteration, some bits more than others.
God help me if I ever get this upset over a theme park attraction bear-ly changing.
It is “a whole new World.” Get used to it. Or don’t. Start a WDWnomagic subforum where folks can let their inner children act out.

I know there's LOTS of ideas I don't like that're happening or have happened anyway!You
Musical Jamboree probably won't be like UNM because it doesn't seem like it's spitting in the faces of fans and going "hey, remember this old thing? well it sucks!"

The only reason people are whining is cause management doesn’t seem to care or respect original attractions…they only care about what they can sell to streaming subscribers. And that’s sad for fans of these Walt-era attractions. Not to mention these songs have no rhyme or reason being selected. It’s practically like every fireworks show they’ve done in the past couple years but with bears…
It fit fine as a transition to the south Appalachians, which is what it is based on and where the film's stories mostly take place. Hence the heavy Banjos and Harmonica. Definitely a southeastern music. It fit. It was not a forced to fit a location change. It was a more accurate intentional goal when it came to WDW.
Frontierland was not a West Coast thing. It had Western Elements, but also plenty of Eastern.

Also the negativity doesn’t help anything. I’m a huge splash fan and thinking about the scenes they just showed of Tiana I felt unemotional whereas splash even just a clip of any of the music and I feel the emotion. But that’s because I have years of memories tied to that ride. And when I experience Tiana with my kids when they’re brave enough and tall enough I could maybe form that emotion as we built memories. Sometimes I think people overhype things just because they have such a strong nostalgic pull to it. I have memories of the country bears, but it’s so campy dated. Even in recent years they definitely sped up the show and seemed to self-acknowledge that it wasn’t popular. Why wouldn’t one hope that the new show is fresh and brings some life to it.

That’s not a reason; it’s a distortion, and it’s nonsense.
It’s time to grow up and realize businesses have to prioritize profits, and especially today, in a different way than in 1955.
Another company would pay to use a Disney song if they could afford it, but Disney shouldn’t use it because they already thought of it 30 years ago?
1. Singing bears aren’t real.
2. Country bears don’t have a different accent.
3. If they use their imaginations, anything can work. And they do this for a living (usually resulting in long lines) so how about give them the benefit of the doubt and wait to experience the attraction in its entirety before making wildly baseless assertions with limited creativity?

So you’re convinced that the 30-second clip shared on social media was the master recording and final mix for the actual animatronic bear show?

I wish questions like yours were asked in the form of questions instead of uninformed complaint after uninformed complaint.

You don’t think the 30-second version in the social media teaser fits the new show nobody has seen yet?

Look, people can have opinions. From some of the comments here it sounds like people wouldn't mind if negativity got banned.
To say "grow up" to people posting on a theme park forum seems a bit strange. We're all here to talk about Disney. How disinteresting it would be if everyone agreed on everything.
That's why I wish people had more flexibility and openness in reading other people's thoughts here. This is not the battlefield for humanity that some people take it as...it's a theme park forum. Let me say what I want to say. I never begrudge other people's opinions, but other people begrudge mine all the time.
The Country Bears have a special place in some people's hearts. It's perfectly natural that they would be reacting negatively to what has been released so far. AND it's perfectly ok. People disliking what they see and talking about it doesn't affect anyone else's wellbeing. And frankly, if your wellbeing is defined by what you read on this forum, well, maybe take up a hobby. Go outside for a while.

I don’t want negativity to be banned.
I don’t want everyone to agree on everything.
Growing up, my mother always used to tell us, “It’s not just what you say, but how you say it.”
Nope, it doesn’t affect our wellbeing. It does affect my enjoyment of participating in the conversation here, though. I’m talking about those who post (repeatedly) about how they dislike every little thing announced about something and proclaim it all an abject failure when the thing is still under construction.
Like it or not they’re allowed to dislike everything and talked about it on a discussion forum. Block them if it’s causing you so much distress.

Of course they’re allowed! I wouldn’t say it’s causing me distress. Just that it takes some of the fun out of things for me.
Also, some of the people who post a bunch of poopy-pants posts also post really thoughtful, interesting, and engaging stuff that I wouldn’t want to miss.
I’m not looking to control anyone here, maybe just asking for a little bit of consideration for the fact that we’re all real people and here to chat about things we enjoy?
That’s not a discussion forum unfortunately, people will want to talk about the bad as well. It’s a shame you don’t like every post but that’s just the nature of talking to strangers on the internet.
Coming along and telling people to stop saying negative things about something they don’t like in the correct space on an online discussion forum is uncalled for. It’s not your personal space unfortunately.

I’m not sure what you mean. Negativity is not the same as “talking about the bad.” I’m all about talking about the good and the bad.
And I’m quite aware of how internet conversations go. But I also know that a forum/message board like this has a culture. Those of us who frequent these boards can shape that culture, and my opinion (that nobody asked for!) is that we should—at the very least—not complain about new attractions before they’re even complete.
Of course it’s not my personal space! What an odd thing to say!
To be clear, I’m not telling anyone to stop saying negative things. I’m saying that reading post after post of uninformed, knee-jerk, grumpiness quickly gets old for me. And I imagine I’m not the only one who would prefer it if every thread wasn’t like entering the Thunderdome of Dramatic Negativity.
Then the block button is there for you if you don’t want to see any grumpiness. People are allowed to have knee-jerk responses and be grumpy. Most of the posts on these forums are uninformed if we’re going to be picky.
If you don’t like someone’s opinion discuss it with them, ask questions. If they keep giving you silly responses it’s not worth your time to engage with them and let them go. But I think telling people to stop posting what they think about a relevant topic on a discussion forum is wrong.
