The BearForce1 (L-R: Robert, Yuri, Peter & Ian)Forget about Backstreet Boys, Westlife or any smooth pretty boy pop groups. The hairy boys from Holland are here to take the gay world by storm. They call themselves 'Bearforce 1' and it's the world's 1st bear band. To the straight community, bears are the large mammals that we see at the zoo. In the gay communty that speaks a myriad of lingos, bears are mature men with hairy bodies and facial hair.
Coincidentally, I was holidaying with the four bears, Yuri, Robert, Peter and Ian in New York in Summer 2006. We were at the Big Apple at the same season but we did not meet. Perhaps, I met them but they were unknown then. They were strangers to another until their passion for music and performance brought them together. On a nite-out, they met producers, Goldschmidt and Rockfeller and the rest were history.
Bearforce 1 became an overnight sensation with their self-titled single 'Bearforce 1'. A friend forwarded me an email with a Youtube link to their music video and I was so amused. Don't get me wrong. They are certainly not clowns (like some) on Youtube who entertained us with their silly acts; Every bearforce 1 member performed with such fervor that you could tell that they are serious about their music career.
The opening scene of their music video is a teaser: four silhouettes of musclemen emerging from the sea like Daniel Craig did in the movie 'Casino Royale 007'. But as the music kicked in with their husky voice, they were transported from the glittering sea to a studio of disco light. Four muscle...hmm...bears crooned and danced in unification to the catchy chorus 'Bear Force 1' with their signature dance steps - shouting "Bear!" and crossing their wrists. "Force!" and saluting. "One!" and holding up a finger. If you wanna see yourself dancing like Bearforce1, try this game. The 4:19 mins video began and ended with the original 'bearforce 1' anthem but with a medley of the gayest 80's hits in-between. From their tight colorful Polo-Ts to the choreography, the music video has so much vibes that you won't be sick of watching it (especially when they took of their Ts:-)
