Dolls was cute but them stingettes wasn’t playing. Princess said we not sitting down 😂

[@Goateir]

OK!!!😂 and its nooo shade!

[@elainerobinson3839]

I love the classy and collegiate style of the Dolls. With them, less is always more. They say so much while saying so little. From stand to field, the lines will be clean and precise.

[@jeremysquad3094]

them stings ate the dolls , I can’t lie .

[@beereal8623]

Nawl my girls ate!! 🐝🐝

[@zinlueslife]

I wish the Dollie’s didn’t have them heels on lol but anyways both teams looked beautiful and danced well ! Herbs presence is sickening! Princess is on another level and her girls are always on 10 ready to back her up. ! The stand routine was a little shaky but all and all great job from both sides 🩰 🐝 thanks Michael for the footage ❤

[@JayEllisAlexander]

The Dolls got STUNG UP!!!!!!!....."Ya gotta be quicker than that"

[@Mrphd34]

Stings gave that edge and energy

Both dancing dolls and Stingettes are so beautiful both put on a great show so proud of HBCU you all are winning. Both band song amazing ❤❤Thanks HBCU for great show❤

Stings tore dem dolls up baby 🐝🐝

[@curtispeoples8146]

Think both teams did an outstanding job but Stingettes went far and beyond so I will have to say they deserve the W and Dolls gave me poise and detail of a well put together woman and it looked really good and they did very well also!

It's the dolls for me.

[@Kye_simone]

Dolls came to dance and they did just that dance without all the extras ❤❤

[@tp2005]

There's just no comparison. The Stingettes dominated (as anyone would expect). The Dolls are unbeatable on the field but they are DIRE in need of a reset and an intervention and an overhaul in the stands. The essence of Doll has been completely lost under Herb.

[@carlie471]

Strongly disagree about the essence of Doll being lost under Herb. After watching footage of the Dolls going back all the way to the 90s, Herb is actually very much the essense of Doll and she's reinvigorating that essence. After a a few adjustments, I'm very excited to see Herb and the Dolls in her 2nd year as Captain.

[@gotohell7338]

@@carlie471agreed. I will say Herb has a habit of cutting counts and then entering the next which I don’t like. Overall, Herb is that girl coming from a Sting fan.

[@toryjei9435]

🤔 90's Dolls were Harder hitting w/ a graceful flare. I do not see where Herb is carrying the essence of 90s Dolls. I think that's what people say to justify the disconnect in synergy between her and some of her Teammates. Herb is a hybrid of Early 2000s and 2010s which is a great blend and solid direction to be headed. As her confidence up front builds and the "behind the scenes" circumstances line up(whatever this may be) SHE IS GOING TO ANNIHILATE!!​@@carlie471 1 for STING!

[@randallm8818]

I also strongly disagree, have you favorite but no need to cut down Herb and her girls. DAUGHTER you're missing something here. Ask a friend, she'll tell you the truth. Then be OK with it😊. No really, get your eyes checked ,or get checked 😂😂😂

[@ThisIsTheKendom]

I really enjoy my dolls! However, I found the second round to be a bit challenging. While I appreciated the counts, it seemed there might have been some confusion-perhaps they couldn’t hear the music well, were unfamiliar with the them, or the counts were mismatched with the song. It definitely presented some difficulties. On the positive side, I did appreciate the new counts that Herb showcased; maybe just not for this song or tempo.

[@cassandracarson1208]

Let me pause this video for a second. First of all ASU killed it. Period ⭐!!! The Band and the Sensational Stingettes 💛🐝🖤✨. And I heard the band very well so I don't know who said they didn't hear as you band. This is a W for the State AS AS AS ASU!!! All day long.

I just wish Herb would do more dancing and less performing if that makes sense. And I love the dolls. Stingettes do more dancing but still keep the entertainment and performance value

stings came to battle!! yess princess

[@atlboo98]

Am I wrong for expecting better from both squads???

[@InTheeU]

Definitely both were underwhelming

[@jablackdiamond]

Not wrong at all!!!

[@Therealftq]

Well it wasn’t enough rounds if we being honest

[@AllyMcDealWithIt]

No you’re not

[@Eljayy4]

1st round is probably one of herb’s best count selections of the season musicality wise. 2nd round didn’t do the song justice at all imo. seems like herb just throws whatever comes to mind and hope it fits.

[@nicoleflynn8342]

Stingettes came to slay!!!!!

[@sabrinagreen5556]

CHEWWWWW stings

[@sw1320]

both had a few missteps but they look good nonetheless. great job ladies

[@TheVIPZone]

4:58 Dolls not polished enough to mess with the Stingettes this time around. They look better tho, just not all around.

[@TheVIPZone]

Maybe it’s the count selection, I’m thinking Herb memorize these counts and just throw them hoping they stick to the song… 🤔

[@sexiyella00]

Just the fact that you think the stings are more polished than the dolls is why I can’t take online trolls serious.

[@Bmillz95]

lol they looked just fine

[@MrBstallwo21]

I enjoy a good battle as much as the next but what both teams need to work on is loosing form...I get it..your excited and in the heat of the moment but you still have to stick to your brand and the Dolls and Stings are definitely two technical powerhouse teams and having great form in the stands is something they both are known for...both teams could've been more crisp...Herb really needs to work on her timing issues..she loves to throw those 16 counts on all together but then she ends up leaving the squad behind and it throws everything off...Stings uniform had some fit issues especially in the top..needs to be revamped before an accident happens.Stand routinewas cute but again couldve been more crisp...overall good showing from my two favorite squads

[@scarletraven984]

Yeah I agree I really want Herb to feel the beat and groove to it especially when the song is medium or fast.

[@andremiddleton8082]

At 1:56 did something happened with the captain hair?

[@jazzytee7754]

Dolls should have done two rows and chairs in the back. All together

[@levellsmith9819]

Stings ate who… Dolls definitely won the 1st round and I’m only giving Stings round 2 because Dolls wasn’t as clean as I wanted on that all together… Overall look Dolls were on point head to toe, I Hated Princess Hair!!!!

[@quintonwalker3755]

Wasn’t even close. Stingettes all day….

[@dto1270]

I adore the SU Dolls... However, wearing character shoes was not the best performance decision

[@InTheeU]

Idk princess changing the formations 3-4x in 1 song is not it. It’s been a whole year…. Good battle enjoyed both 🔥🫶🏼

[@Ace-002]

That’s literally what the stingettes have been doing for well over a decade now, switching formations mid song and the team better catch on. Just because yall may be use to these other teams just sticking to one formation a whole song don’t mean stings have too. stingettes can do it all, catch on to the next count while they have their back turns, catching on to different formations etc.

[@InTheeU]

@ no it’s not other captains before her May change it 1 time after the original call but constantly changing it shows she’s uncertain of what to throw next ! Tradition is tradition. This the first time that has happened 3-4x back to back like be fr

[@roneishaaaa_]

@@InTheeUuncertain? Lmao it doesn’t show that at all. Y’all just be chatting 😂

[@InTheeU]

@ name another captain who changed formations 3-4x before Princess on 1 song . I’ll wait

[@roneishaaaa_]

@@InTheeU Who gives af? If that’s wtf she wants to do with HER team that’s HER business. Nothing about princess gives uncertain babe. If anything her changing formation so many times is challenging them. It forces them to pay attention, you know something past teams have struggled with? 🙄

[@trinitymommy]

Stingettes look sloppy 🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s like they are trying to outdance each other

[@jeremysquad3094]

How they look sloppy .? It’s a battle … ofc they gonna have a lot of energy…

[@TrayvienJoubert]

Dolls have a great book. Idk why she not in it. Them counts could’ve stayed where they was.

[@DeeDee-tx7wr]

Why would they put dolls in heels knowing it’s a battle? Especially on turf

[@AllyMcDealWithIt]

Both did great however, the stand routine was not needed and performed very sloppily. Dancing hard equates to a win for some when the Stings sensuality is unmatched when they actually do it. Princess did a great job all year prior to this! Too bad the Dolls left the field after their last song so the shade that was thrown they wasn’t even on the field. While I love the new counts execution could have been cleaner

[@Realitytalkjalo]

She was in the very back

[@tamilgardner6013]

@@Realitytalkjalo I love how she has grown and how she moved beyond the hate

[@EarthAngel504]

From a male's perspective. Judging the dancers. The Dancing dolls are on a whole other league. They're more feminine, classier and lady like. Which will always make them better. No offense to the dancers but the difference is almost like a ballet dancer to a stripper. You can hardly compare the 2.

[@AppleLeOrangeBanana]

Excuse tf outta you… all of those beautiful college educated women come from different backgrounds of dancing. Don’t be disrespectful. If you like the dolls “style” of dance just say that but what you’re not going to do is say someone is more feminine, classier and lady like because of the style of dance for a HBCU. These girls grew up doing all types of dance and if your “male perspective” had any common sense, you would’ve known that. FOH with that divisive crap.

[@AppleLeOrangeBanana]

And I GUARANTEE you that each and every one of the stingettes can do every doll count and vice versa.

[@Ace-002]

You just like the doll style that’s it. Each hbcu dance team has a different style but in an environment like this. That cute soft shi ain’t gonna move no one. Hate all you want stingettes still them girls and ate

[@Nana._7]

I hate when yall say stuff like this 😕. Nothing about the stingettes gives strippers, it’s okay to prefer a certain dance style over others, but it’s not okay to uplift the preferred dance style by disrespecting the other dance style. At the end of the day, NONE of these hbcu dance lines should be compared to strippers..

[@FinestOfTheSouth]

Ghey.

Zero hate but it's time for the Dolls to retire this Halloween costume and come on with an updated version
