The Less Said The Better
20Jun08
For your Friday enjoyment, the new BearForce1 song:
It’s impossible to adequately describe — or completely catalogue — the awfulness of this song and video. Unless y’all would like to try, of course, since I’m still trying to figure out why their style and iconography resembles a nursery. Or why only 37.5% of the group could accurately be classified as “bear”.
On the other hand, it would be fun to run into Green Speedos some day at the beach. Or the showers after the beach. Come on, at least he had the sense to ditch those gawdawful pastels.

Eurovision type twaddle. They’re Dutch or something that’s for sure.
Bear..Force..One. You’re right, just awful!
You totally timed your Dublin trip wrong. They were in town last weekend for a show. We so would have gone. Except for the “so” and “gone” part.
Hey, I love me some Eurovision, but only if the outfits are sufficiently wacky. Eurovision tends to have more creativity and better songs, although that’s not saying much.
I seem to recall liking something they did once, or am I thinking of something else?
I love the bear aesthetic and bears can be really lovely guys, but this is kind of tragically terrible. I want to like it but I just can’t.
The last two singles were at least amusing in a gay-car-crash sort of way. However, their existence proves that, relatively speaking, Divine could actually sing.
I like the beefy lead man-
and remember “bear” is a state of mind…
or something?
Hey, don’t get me wrong — turn off the Aqua-esque Eurodisco and replace their pastels and manpris with jockstraps and 501s and I’d probably be wiping some drool off my own
bearwolf fur. But… no.no you totally nailed it with the nursery observation. it’s like baby einstein, disco edition. shake your arms? wtf? another strike against gay exceptionalism. But yes…volume off, jockstrap on…helloooooo gorgeous.
I view them as sort of a guilty pleasure. It’s deliciously terrible, yet fun. I just wish they’d give more time to the hot one and less to the lead singer schlub.
awful
i thought i was watching out-takes from Pillow Talk with Doris and Rock.
or *shudder* the Brady Bunch.
