SU Fabulous Dancing Dolls | Captain Airielle Brooks | Stands 2021 vs 2022 comparisons 💙💛

[@kaeford9673]

It was Akai! Once you get rid of the negative energy everything else opens up for you! She was more confident and free and we love that for her

[@mlmc58]

I imagine pressure of the documentary added to the stress in 21. It seemed like Akai was doing too much "directing" and "choreographing." I remember Khalia(sp?) saying "I'm having trouble remembering this choreography because it doesn't make sense"..LOL

[@kaeford9673]

@@mlmc58 she was coo coo for Cocoa Puffs before that,that lady always had a bad attitude and probably still swinging on photographers as we speak. If you can’t take the pressure of being a sponsor without being rude to ppl you shouldn’t signed up for that job!

[@prestonval4439]

Akai is an organized leader ( the documentary proved this) Stop bashing her style, she has no tolerance for slackers peridot .

Airielle took it to a whole new level in 2022. She's the perfect prototype of a Doll: clean, elegant, sexy, high degree of technical proficiency, great showmanship. The squad was great, but Airi always stood out as a leader.

[@GivinUNew]

Airielle has always had IT. I have been saying it since she was a crab. I think she was under a lot of pressure, and to be honest, she was in the shadow of Cam because of her fame. Most people wanted Cam to be captain. Airielle knew she didn't have the strongest team behind her, so it was hard for her to get in her bag to create moments. 22, she groomed her girls and claimed her iron throne and could not be overthrown. She literally was the Captain of the year! She gave royalty all season and it was a pleasure to watch her excellence.

[@fountainmedia4683]

Airielle is the #EPITOME of a Southern University and A&M College Fabulous Dancing Doll, because she represents class, beauty, style, and grace, just like Dr. Isaac Gregg's wanted and insisted for his Dancing Dolls to be. #Southern #HumanJukeBox #FabulousDancingDolls #OftenImitatedNeverDuplicated

[@theenforcer1944]

Akai held her & the rest of the dolls back. Traci was the best thing that could of happened to the organization.

[@The1_broussard]

I love Ari’s the growth from 21 to 22. This proves what a two year captain can do for a team. I also think having a new sponsor changed the direction of everything and the girls had a chance to have fun and dance. Last thing I would say is that I wish Cam came back for a 5th rip as well because I feel like she was held back from doing a lot of things.

[@BrittTheMfBrat]

The hair sold it for sure. Airielle is an amazing captain overall, but this year she came to SLAYYYY 🔥

[@fancylivingKi]

Airi had such a glo up this season! She gave very much GROWN WOMAN ZOWNNNN. Like her dancing was always top tier but her overall look was just 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@bood911]

I don't think Arielle had a talk with anyone, I truly believe she found her inner grown woman honey and she had a bomb ass squad to always have your back, hunty this whole squad is #EVERYTHING POINT BLANK PERIDOT!

[@IamNitaJ]

You were so right about her trusting her team.. you can see it! Since they were killing it, she can let loose and enjoy the moment more. She served in 2022!!!

[@FeliciaNicole_]

The hair really did it. She just knew she was in her Bad B era! The team was more confident in 22 also. The second year really makes a difference. Haley’s improvement is so crazy I forgot that she was messing up all last season. Can’t wait to see the 22 doll crabs next season. & Kyreeeee! She really shined in these videos

[@annoyedjay]

been waiting on this one 😭 there definitely is a difference from both years, the squad was stronger in 22 but most importantly Airielle’s presence changed. in 21’ she was giving fresh faced/girl next door/sweetheart tease. 22 was when she fully entered her grown woman era. plus i honestly think she was concerned with fan perception in 21’ because of the backlash from camryn stans whereas in 22’ she was probably a lot more unbothered (ps: I high key wish khaliyah would’ve stayed 🥴)

[@annoyedjay]

oh and pps: can y’all not make this about cam 💀 damn airielle can’t have nothing chile smh lol

[@K_gard15]

It was so good to see Airielle have fun in 2022. Like she was smiling, laughing and getting to just live in the moment.

[@Nonchalantlyfabulous]

I really think the haircut had a lot to do with the presence in 2022. She looked GOOD !! And when you look good, you feel good , which come with a lot more confidence!!

[@tmichelle.6566]

I think Airielle understood her role as a captain more during the 2nd year. Its not just about leading, its how you elevate the legacy. She did that shit & her girls look damn good!!!!

[@tchrgail.2]

Yes Ma’am, We now that Arielle was taught well by her Fabulous Dancing Doll Mother 2018 (Gaybrielle D.).💯 In 2019 , Arielle danced with the Fabulous Dancing Doll Jordan E. (Shirley).💯 In 2022, under the leadership of Ms. Tracey ,Arielle and the team were able to excel with ease. D.Taylor knows [PERIOD].

[@ivorydavis5941]

New sponsor .....New team mates ......New attitude.....2022 Arielle.....New direction for the Dolls...Period..!!

[@nicki3549]

Ari was one of the strongest crabs I’ve seen. She was consistent from day one. I honestly believe the problem was Akai, they were able to have more fun without her and looked happier.

[@wayneester9696]

I really feel the dolls were held back in 2021, once 2022 came she really blossomed! I feel like administrators had alot to do with it🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Nasjae]

The way they did 18 in 2021 still don't sit right with me, because they knew good and well that team was suppose to be full of vets. It was suppose to be 18, 19, and 20, and Ashlyn and Lauren could have been 21's crab class... 2021 could have been one sickening ass team. 2021 was definitely a step out on faith type of season, and 2022 was the elevation.

[@unknownperson9566]

Someone FINALLY said it, and then the rumors of Airielle asking Akai to let Cam lead and Akai saying no 🤧

[@jscott6729]

Arielle has been that girl since a crab. She was definitely prepared to be creative in 2021 but the team wasn’t backing her. She snapped at the TSU game 21. When she trusted the team she got in her bag but 22 she came back and said “STOP PLAYING.” They team danced behind her and the field shows definitely gave 90 dolls. A legend for doll and a legend for NOLA. Thank you for breaking the NOLA doll curse. 504 ❤

[@listenhoneychildtarot999]

There's no way this is a fair comparison. 21 was crab heavy and only one performance since 20. Of course 22 is better and more cohesive. In 21 Haley couldn't get right all season and now she's Beyonce. Khaliya was constantly at odds with the girls in 21 which I'm sure contributed to the unit as a whole being distracted. To me it kinda seemed like Cam either checked out or was just over it even tho she tailed the house down it was still disconnected. 22 got not only seasoned vets but some power house crabs that got an experienced Captain and a freaking new Director that is Doll legacy incarnate. This is 🚫 not a competition between 21/22. A great growth video that shows what proper leadership and support with experience and cooperation can do. It's the management and behind the scenes that need to be compared.

[@prestonval4439]

The documented Growth and Evolution of '21s crabs speaks to what progression looks like at the collegiate level .

[@chillguy6870]

I totally agree about the smiling. Her first captain year looked to young and cute.

[@danielmyles4509]

I feel like this was Arielle’s REAL 4th year as a doll because dolls didn’t really have a full season in 20.

It was definitely the squad

[@KirstenDeneen]

In 21, despite Haley's mess ups, when she does the counts she was very detailed in them. She just needed to add her own personality to it and that's what we see now. I think next season, we will see details, finesse and perfected Doll form. This is actually the same for all of 21 with the exception of Ashlynn bc miss mamas was a phenomenal crab.

[@chelseygrossley]

[@jamariogolden5419]

[@Longhorn-kf8xc]

She put in work. That cardio definitely showed in ‘22. To me, her body is more toned and the hair put it over the edge.

[@KEME1328]

A bit off-topic but I feel like the same thing happened to the stingettes..except backwards. In 2019&2021, I felt like Courtney and Amir were evolving the stingettes and when they brought that damn Bridgette back this past season she held them back and everything just went downhill. Same thing here with the dolls, Akai held the girls back in 2021 but when Tracy Greene came it’s like the girls are FREE!!

[@nikmariealex]

I'm so sad about what happened with Courtney and Janae bc 2019 was the beginning of a new era

[@beereal8623]

I love AIRIELLE!! Everybody knows I LIVE for the “top shelf” vibes! She oozes sex appeal because less is more! She doesn’t have to be hyper sexual and that’s what I love about her. SU is particular about how they select their girls. You will never see wratchet pelvic thrusts and rolls with porn looks. They didn’t fall into that trap. They will always be the upper echelon in that sense. The aesthetic does make a difference too. The height and size matters as a whole when looking at a team. They all literally look damn near the same height and weight… it’s why they give grown vibes. No disrespect but the short girls take the aesthetic down to a high schoolish look.

[@wawa9883]

Both could be better unfortunately
