National Battle of the Band 2023 | Review

[@lilc02011]

Jada would have gave battle doll but she didn't get a full season.

[@_DB.]

Jada would’ve absolutely ate if she had her whole season.

Facts

[@levellsmith9819]

Dolls definitely Field of The Night!!!! Motion and Satin Dolls were great as well… over all all dance teams gave solid field performances

[@christianmoorer5184]

Jordan would have been a battle captain if she had gotten her chance

[@girlwiththetattoo11]

1. I knew Kyre was that girl when she was a freshman. She looked like a vet. She definitely knew what she was doing. 2. Motion ATE and I’m excited for their season. They look damn good 💁🏽‍♀️.

[@JulianPatrickMiller]

I'm here for Captain Kyre. I think it's a bit early to put her in the "battle doll" category. I actually think she is going to forage her own lane. I also like when dolls look like they are enjoying themselves a la April Rollins. This is a great team and I am excited about this new season. This is not the team I predicted and that just goes to show you never know how things will shake out with this organization.

[@VelmaElizabeth_]

Kyre gave us intensity while still giving doll. She has something to say. 🤭🩵💛

[@GroveGyrl]

All these young ladies look stunning but baby it’s MOTION MOTION MOTION FA ME!!

[@talvindaniels7712]

43:19 MISS MILAN!!!! That breath of air going into the count sold me! Like the presence, facials, confidence! CLASSIC DOLL 🫶🏾

[@chillguy6870]

Kyre is just sooo fucking doll. Morgan I hope you see this comment. Lol. She’s just so doll.

[@symone09]

I love the motion captain mean mug too 😭

[@theenforcer1944]

Morgan you are correct. For the 2010s, the battle doll captains were D’Tara, Sierra, Dani, and seems to be Kyre. I don’t think the organization likes a battle doll captain but I love it. I think a lot of fans like it but some don’t. Honestly it’s time for a battle captain

[@latyran499]

@@johnnyappleseed1988DT is still one of my favorite captains to this day! She’s the reason im a Doll and why I dance so hard 😩 lol

[@prestonval4439]

Good Video. The undeniable energy that emanates from the Mississippi Valley band and Satin Dolls is a testament to the power of Mississippi pride. It's almost as if P. VALLEY's Chucalisa is intricately connected to Itta Bena, MS.

[@honestsagittarius4566]

😂😂😂😂

[@dmedwards1019]

I think Kyre is going to give good musicality.

[@symone09]

Motion came to battle!

[@jayynorth3911]

2nd year Ariellle was a battle doll & if Jayda didn’t get robbed for her spot, we would be able to put her in that category

[@miahope9581]

Airielle wasn't battle Doll; more like '15 KP mixed with a little bit of Micah. She gave more battle energy her first year. Agree with the Jada part tho. She was mix of Seaera Cole and Dani.

[@cj9160]

@@miahope9581 Arielle sho wasn’t a battle doll kinda glad to see someone else step up and battle

[@chillguy6870]

I would say a battle doll is a count doll I can switch shit up easy doll. Those would be stamp gabby Jada and now rere but we gotta see. I think she is coming from Good stock. Danielle and Jada. She gets what the people want and that’s new heat but very doll. Plus all these other counts. The dolls have counts for days now. I wanna see it all. Kyre has to really throw the book. The old and the new. I hope she gets it

[@prisspeach]

Virginia State dancers are called Essence of Troy

[@ladythought4959]

Agree with everything you said about the Dolls! The sit down was giving unintentional ripple lol. But they look so good. Imma 🐝 fan but Kyré has me HYPE! I’ve watched those 3 videos and the reveal waaaay too many times!

[@roysmakeup301]

Satin dollssssssss 💚🤍

[@Nasjae]

I'm sorry I only remember Motion, Dolls, and a smidge of Satin sorry bookie butts. Motion has too many girls so it's hard to just focus on the team as a whole, but that damn Serenity and that damn bawdy yes ma'ammm I love her. Also they should have played Let's Pray now the girls would have showed the hell out and got real raunchy I feel. Dolls ate per usual, but I can tell they were just vibing this performance, but when they get in front of those stings they are going to show out and perform!!! As for the dolls sit down I totally agree they're looking like 2015 when it comes to the sit down all unorganized. As far as Satin I'm happy they're coming up dancer wise and band wise to, and their counts are tea.

[@Hesiconic]

Yes I totally agree with the dolls sit downs. Energy is amazing , but I just wish the sit down was timed !

[@taylork7530]

Motion’s tail is coming for the #1 Tail Award at the end of the season.

[@asile6659]

Baby that tail was sickening!!!!

[@TayyTwista]

From crab to tail🌊🌟

[@TeeeDay]

@@johnnyappleseed1988 I agree…it was sexy ratchet…just ghetto ratchet. I was like…gosh what do their parents think? These girls are still in college.

[@EsiJua]

​@@TeeeDayIf her parents understand the purpose of a tail's performance, they'll be okay.

[@taylork7530]

@@EsiJua Thank you. I’m thinking, “…that she’s an adult with autonomy with aspirations to be on the team. As parents they would’ve been aware of this and supported her. So…😐”

[@chosea9602]

I agree with your picks for top 3, Dolls, Motion, and Satin. I think Satin will be the surprise this year however I need to see longer field shows.

[@tinabarnes3673]

I enjoyed the Dolls as usual. I really hope people don't compare Kyre to Ariel, because Ariel was in a class by herself. I norixe that these teams are stepping up their technique game, thanks to the Dolls. I was surprised that Chania, Lauren, and Ashlyn are no longer Dolls. Did they jot make the team, or didn’t return to school?

[@theenforcer1944]

I agree. Many teams are stepping up technique & their look because of them. I think Lauren & Ash didn’t try out. Allegedly Cha was cut. 😢 she was my fav so I’m sad to hear that.

[@GGMKJMMNMN]

@@theenforcer1944she still was lack luster in stands but on the field was tea

[@theenforcer1944]

@@GGMKJMMNMN who was lackluster?

[@chillguy6870]

Airi was a superstar dancing powerhouse. Kyre is a doll. It’s apples and oranges lol. Both beautiful and talented beyond compare. Airi on the field still reigns. Stands was coo

[@levellsmith9819]

Micah was Definitely a Battle Doll!!!!

[@miahope9581]

Definitely just needed better music

[@princetv365]

Yesss Milan gives me jsette priscilla vibes. Same spot, bomb facials and just looks like their having a blast

[@cassandracarson1208]

Thank you Morgan, the Stingettes though 💛🐝🖤. I really enjoyed this. Keep it going hun.

[@user-qz3ls9od9n]

I liked Satin Dolls but needed another 30 to 45 secs or so. So short. Loved the band. It was like 50 to 60 secs

[@lanchaic.]

MVSU ❤💚💚❤️💚❤️💚💚💚 but every team looked good and I’m proud of my hbcu slowly but surely getting back to the booming and healthy size it used to be

[@jarmaiencarswell5256]

Totally AGREE! I think the sit down wasn't on point because of them dang folding chairs they were sitting in. But they give me life. KYREEEEEEEEEEEEE has been my fav for years now and I am tuned all the way in.

[@dcaggie101]

Virginia states dancers are not called Trojan fire😂😂😂 They are the Essence of Troy

[@teacherspetism]

Thanks for the pointers…nice touch ❤

[@arryvul]

As SOON as I saw Kyrie I said uh oh. These counts look different🔥🔥🔥Motion❤❤❤❤

[@arielwill5782]

Kyre ate that sideline up!!

[@callygirlstewart]

Did😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@rockyb4637]

Dolls can do no wrong on the field no competition in my opinion..and now with Kyrie I think the stands bout eat as well let's go Dolls!!!!

[@TeeeDay]

Who is the crab next to Sojia…she was just as fire as Milan…great great crab claws for the Dolls.

[@LEGENDARY_GHS]

Dolls! 🩵💛

[@DreJohnJohnDre]

That count at 22:55 NASTYYYYYYYY 😰😰

[@prestonval4439]

Ms. Kyre and Crew were top 2 and they weren't #2. Fabulous Dancing Dolls essence is giving what Beyonce be rapping on HEATED, "Tip, tip, tip on hardwood floors".

[@joekaientertainment4696]

i cant tell if my quality low or the videos. Morgan clear but the videos crunchy

[@lavone010]

I living for Milan as Taylor 2.0 👑😮‍💨❤️😌

[@ThisIsTheKendom]

I loved the video per usual. I love Kyre up front also. I’m glad she’s captain. She doesn’t give me battle doll though at least not yet. When I think of battle doll I think of Lindsey (19) Taneria… Josie, Jelly, Dani like Morgan said … DT … Seaera… Kyre might give it I just haven’t seen it just yet. But she looks amazing up front … she’s different .

[@chunguptown106]

No lies told

[@raquiraarobinson7664]

41:55 one thing about Morgan he gone do that count 😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@kiythm16]

I live for the bands tapping into Beyonce’ this season. ✨

[@taylork7530]

28:35 I LOVED this count.

[@georgedecuir6586]

Scotlandville Highsteppers taking over the SWAC !

[@latyran499]

Finally! 😩 Always rooted for them

[@dionawilliams6594]

Great job Golden Felines!!!! LU!🧡💙

[@knightowl3778]

The sit down was off because of the folding chairs. It’ll be find in the stands

[@JairTheLiteraryMasturbator]

I'm curious to why there were only 8 Dolls for the field show. Looking forward to this season. Loved seeing SpiderBack!!

[@vuyokazimthethwa]

Pre season injuries maybe?

[@jnedle7060]

Okay imma a STING FAN and my Squad still loading.. 😩😩😩 But can’t lie this was Footage. The teams are Ready this year so Stingettes better come with it. And they WILL S/N: The Dolls came out with New Captain Kyre and new Counts (but she may come out as a different girl week 1 so don’t be surprised) which made them look good but sorry they can look good after Week 1: Predictions 🐝🐝My Stingettes 🐝🐝 4 Da WIN

[@miSS.m4yh3m]

If Kyre don’t look like Dani && Chrystianna had a baby by the face like my goodness 👀😳

[@AmerieBalenciaga]

Dolls & Motions … that’s all

[@odessawashington3647]

The tail Alisa is a Georgia peach!!!

[@natzecat5033]

So I’m from Baltimore (up north to y’all) please remember and know that up here, the band and dance culture ARE NOT the same. It’s not as “traditional” or hardcore as down south. So yes the dancing will look soft or off cause it’s not the same umph y’all have or the same culture attached to it

[@lovejoyjr]

Hot take: The dolls should do another 2011 next year(no crabs) This team will eat 🤷🏾‍♂️ next year even with a new pick as captain❤️

[@kaeford9673]

Cold water want to be GD so baddd🤣🤦🏾‍♂️💀for them to be huge rivals they always stealing from golden delight whether it’s the uniforms,the routines,the “rocks”,literally everything lol

[@chrysanthiaowens6289]

They woke up!

[@Dynastithegoddess]

I’m disappointed in Hot Ice ✨ they usually come harder than that. That field show was NOT IT. They were all over the place and everyone was not synchronized

[@bfdixon1982]

VState dance line is Essence of Troy

[@Blackice0318]

I was like wayment did they change their name lol

[@FADaniels0626]

That couldn’t be their name anyway because that’s the name of the basketball dance team😅😂

[@apthompson79]

Yeah I was like wait! He mixed the name with Ebony Fire of Hampton U.

[@cj9160]

Agree Morgan

[@chillguy6870]

Front row left center number four give you KP cuttin up behind April. Yesss. 10:53 Work team

[@andream.boatman1921]

What happened to Lauren and Ashlyn and Chania?

[@kjpisking]

showtime web has all of the satin dolls videos!

[@rachealbroussard8934]

Kyre is really giving me Jordan and I’m here for it

[@chillguy6870]

Switch Sydney and Milan for me.or put Beyoncé on that right and give me Milan back middle. That’s the switch baby.

[@chillguy6870]

Yes Morgan we told them it was Re and they wasn’t tryna hear it lol yesss

[@ajones4628]

so like is it normal for preseason performances to have less girls? Like I noticed the dolls and sophisticated Ladies only had like 7 or 8 and jsettes apparently didn't bring out the whole squad for swac/meac game. Then they pop out with like 12 girls or more....Seems like teams do this every year, whats the reason?

[@DestinyXL28]

More then likely it’s cuts either it be running/stands/field or just not ready so I’m sure the coaches pulled them

[@ajones4628]

@@DestinyXL28 oh ok that makes sense early on in the season

yesss deasiaaa felionnnnn😮😍😍

[@Blackice0318]

Essence of Troy (Virginia State) always have a decent team, if u used to the SWAC teams u prolly wouldnt really feature them because its a completely different style

[@Dynastithegoddess]

For a Small Hbcu with a smaller band Virginia State University did an excellent job, I appreciate you showing light to the smaller bands of the Ciaa ❤️🫶🏾✨
