Honestly this response is almost funnier than the joke you’re responding to

Bear is a reference to a burly gay man, which he played on ABCs Modern Family even though he isn’t gay in real life.

Well, if you say so-
Ernest! I always liked how he stuck out compared to the others. His song in the Vacation Hoedown is definitely his best showcase of his personality, though he’s a show stealer in the new show.
I will agree with you though that the Shakira song is the worst of the new CBJ show- but I still think it’s fine. Not great, but I’m not gonna lose sleep over it being there for the kids.
Call me a contrarian, but as great as Big Al is, he’s not even in my top 5 bears!

I like Henry, Big Al, and Ernest
Big Al is the funniest, Henry is my overall favorite, and Ernest is the coolest

My favorite animatronic singing bear is from The Mickey Mouse Revue:

I mean…if I may? Critter Country (the land rename that came about because of Splash) fit the Country Bears better than “Bayou Country”. The aesthetic of Splash also paired better with CBJ.

For the short while it lasted, I think that Splash and CBJ made for a strong mini-land

Lol no but all jokes aside I haven’t seen CBJ in 25 years and like you I only saw Vacation Hoedown which I loved as a kid. My favorite has got to be Big Al. Design wise. Personality probably one of the other bears but it’s been a while.

I was familiar with that meaning of bear but confused because Eric is not gay (and I don’t even think his character would have qualified)— but I was hoping I had misunderstood because I’ve met Eric and he was lovely and it would be cool to have (unknowingly) met a real life country bear. Oh well.

They should make a ride with him in it.
Are we SURE this isn’t rage bait? I’ve been pretty copacetic about the newest Jamboree but I am going to be pretty peeved if we don’t get any music from the other jamborees and less than half of the music comes from the jamborees or even the artists who voice some version of the bears.

Lol seriously. No songs from the original or Hoedown but the Shakira song made it. SMH. Not only that they picked ALL the most annoying songs from the new show?

I mean, I can’t argue with you there. I don’t get why they renamed it to Bayou Country and then readded the Country Bears- if anything the name change feels like Pooh is on his way out. Critter Country pre-Pooh was objectively the best that area has ever been themed. Man, I wish I could’ve experienced it.
Oof, that playlist! I'd really only tolerate it if it were instrumentals. Better differentiate it from the CBJ show.

They couldn't even use the original versions of the songs covered in the other shows?
To be fair the Country Bears do at least geographically fit the whole Southern theme of Bayou Country. It could definitely work with more theming to make it fit. Even Splash could hypothetically work with that theme. It's really only Pooh that clashes with the theming of both lands, both the Pacific Northwest style of CC and the Southern style of BC.
