𝐵𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠 (𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛) - 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐷𝑎𝑧𝑧𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 

You know if you really look at it, you can see that the Dazzlings are sort of an example of a manipulative relationship. As seen in Battle of the Bands, they throw a bunch of compliments at everyone to begin to convince them that they're right. Then they manipulate them to get the feeling of power that they need. In a manipulative relationship, the manipulator gives their partner this sense of security and the feeling that the manipulator has their best interests at heart. They then proceed to make their partner feel like they're on a pedestal, so that they're more "convinced." Then they convince them to do things that they want, promising that they love them. That's how they get that rush of power that they need to feel good. Under Our Spell is the song that shows the period where the manipulator's partner is basically oblivious to the fact they're being controlled, and are convinced that they are getting what's best for them. In that song, the Dazzlings literally confess their plans out loud, but the rest of the students are so convinced that this is right, that they completely disregard it. This allows the Dazzlings to get more power, and with the willingness from th estudents. Welcome to the Show is when the manipulator's partner begins to realize from the help of friends or family, that have been worried for them because they can see what's happening. The partner is still convinced that the manipulator loves them, and the manipulator begs for them to come back, guilt tripping and manipulating their emotions to feel bad about them leaving. After a lot of tug of war, the partner eventually leaves the manipulative relationship, which in this case, is breaking the spell. Yes, I do want to major in psychology. Did I look into this too much? Probably. Do I seem crazy? Probably

I’m literally obsessed with their singing voices like fr-

people don’t know how GOOD these ladies are-

Bro- the music of The Dazzlings was better than the ponnys-

When I first watched Rainbow Rocks, I had a crush on Sonata. Now I have more of a crush on Aria, but Adagio is still the best at being a villain.

Childhood playlist is ✨SCREAMING✨

Yay it’s me

Why is this so good? My 8 year old self is shaking Edit: thank you for all the likes!

This movie was made for 4-year-olds, but you can't deny the soundtrack and animation is fire-

I Remember when this movie Came out, You were considered a Cool Kid if you Had The Dazzling Dolls---

Remember when we all first watched the movie and fell in love with their songs

Nobody: Not a soul: Me: ME AND YOU, YOU AND ME, WHY DONT WE SEE WHO IS BETTER WE DONT HAVE TO BE *ONE IN THE SAME THING, OH WHATS SO WRONG WITH A LITTLE COMPETION-*

I’m literally falling under their spell...🤤

their songs always made and still make me feel like the most badass person ever like imagine the villain taking over in the movie (just like they did lmao) and this plays

ok this slaps harder than my aunts belt but 2:39 i was laughing my lungs out lmaooo

Aria was my favorite growing up but honestly Adagio CARRIED the band 💅

Me when I was younger: *i HaTe ThEm SoOooOo mUcH* Me now: Oml I loveeee them

Why is this so... COOL?! I LOVE THIS ✨❤

I love dazzlings UwU

I feel like The Dazzlings would have won if this wasn't a kid's show, where the good characters always have to win.. Even tho the villain is overpowering them and the good characters probably would have lost in real life

I had such a Huge Crush on sonata now some years later I'm lesbian 😗✌️

When I was a kid I always prefered the villains for some reason and Dazzlings were one of my favourite characters. I always thought there's something wrong with me because all my friends liked the good characters and in this comments section... it's just so good to know that I'm not alone lol

THEY ARE SUCH BADDIES I WANT TO BE THEM 😩😩

The Dazzlings sound like a fabulous name. Better than the rAiNBoOMs

"Why pretend we're all the same, when some of us shine brighter" hits hard

villains having the best music the heroes getting this:RaInBoWs OOoOoOoOH

Literally the best song

2:42 O M G

They would get along SO WELL WITH OZAIS ANGELS Sonata-ty lee, aria-mai, adagio-azula

THE DAZZLINGS WERE LIKE HOW I FIGURED OUT I WAS GAY LMAO

Me when I was 6: *dancing to this* me rn: *AGGRESSIVELY DANCING TO THIS*

Let's be honest The Dazzlings were defeated by the POWER of the script. They were the most powerful beings in Equestria It hurts who hurts PISEMNE DAZZLINGS PISEMNE

Nostalgic. And they actually do have wonderful voices.

THIS IS SO GOOD IVE LITERALLY WATCHED THIS ON REPEAT FOR HOURS

Sonata is a queen💕

Honestly, Sonata is the reason I found out I was Bi-

I saved this to play list XD I really liked the dazzlings songs, I mean, come on their songs are so badass! I'm so glad you made a slowed version 😊 💕💖💞

I remember having a crush on Adagio when I was little I still do

The Sonata icon is amazing

Here's the lyric Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah We heard you want to get together We heard you want to rock this school We've thought of something that is better Something that changes all the rules Why pretend we're all the same When some of us shine brighter? (Shine brighter) Here's a chance to find your flame Are you a loser or a fighter? Me and you, you and me, why don't we see who is better? We don't have to be one and the same thing Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition? Are you afraid of failing the audition? You're a star and you should know it Yeah, you rise above the rest It doesn't matter who you hurt If you're just proving you're the best (Ah, ah-ah-ah) Battle, you want to win it Let's have a battle, battle of the bands Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it Let's have a battle, battle, battle, battle of the bands Me and you, you and me, why don't we see who is better? We don't have to be one and the same thing Oh, what's so wrong with a little competition? I'm going out and winning the audition Battle, we want to win it Let's have a battle, battle of the bands Let's have a battle, we'll go all in it Let's have a battle, battle, battle, battle of the bands

mlp music has never slapped harder

isn't it crazy how they sound great in and out of their universe? almost as if they are trying to control us, but hey, that can't happen? right?

People writing they loved the song when they were 8 meanwhile i watched this for the first time when I was 14 two years ago and loved it (:

im falling under their spell now after 5 years

my 10 year old self is s h a k i n g

Problem is, i used to be team Rainbooms-

hi from 2021, the dazzlings can step on me. ✌💖 (the slow down in amazing >

Блин,так необычно,когда ты русская и читаешь английские комменты.Прикооооооольно)А песня классная)

Image if someone uploaded this on tic tok and charile dances to it childhoods have been ruined 🤣

i prefer the dazzlings than rainbooms now lol

This Is how they would sound if they were hot anime Boys-

Can they get their own show😭😭

Traz em portuges,pffv, eu amo a versão em portuges kakaka

I know for a damn fact that my younger cousins will call me evil for liking their songs, i will just sit there and wait for them for the right time to like their songs

Aria was my gay awakening

*me still being in love with aria for all these years let me say this isnt helping*

this was my favorite song out of the three in the movie- they were the ones i was rooting for omg

Am I the only one who sees the comparison with Heathers??

THESE GIRLS SOUND BETTER WHEN SLOWED TF💀

I’m so mad that they lost 😭😭

remembering my 10 year old self listening to this song on loop for three months

Never thought that a slowed version of this song was a thing but now listening to it I’m now obsessed with these girls

As children we love the heros, as we grow older we start to recognize the villains for their talent, especially if they really are more intelligent villains, or like the villains more. Of course I do not support the Dazzlings' actions, but even as a kid I loved their songs, more so than the rainbooms. The rainbooms were not as good as the Dazzlings, but good for them that they won, the Dazzlings could've caused real destruction if they weren't stopped. I still justly stand by my opinion that in an actual singing competition, without physical friendship magic, the Dazzlings would've gotten my vote, even if I weren't under their spell.

the reason i dont like the mlp fandom way too much is cuz the gacha part of it smh

Me watching this the first time: 👁👄👁 me pretending I’m an edit like five times cause of how much I love there singing: ✨

Imagine your band being called: “The Rainbooms” 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Dazzlings stan😔✨✊

BROOO THIS IS STILL A WHOLE ASS BOP!!! And slowed down just makes me feel like its war !!!!

This still rocks years later ❤️✨

Bro 2:42 when they all sing together is magical asf ong this music ain't for kids it's something else >>>

dude i has the biggest crush on Aria

We all gotta admit, we wanted the dazzlings to win

Like - they aren't wrong in the song

Y'know, I actually understand The Dazzlings' thought process. A competition encourages people to work themselves and develop their skills in order to obtain want they want or achieve a goal. Also, occasionally losing builds character and endurance. A Battle of the Bands promotes teamwork and skill growth which otherwise wouldn't happen if everyone were to win. Granted, The Dazzlings are propagating this idea purely for selfish reasons, but their standalone points definitely hold merit.

I loved this song when I was slightly younger. Going to be 18 this year and this takes me back.

Mmm. Yeah, I can see how this is manipulating …because it’s working on me

I really love their voices ❤️❤️! I wanna sing like them!

they can make it spanish

My fav’s in the mlp fandom is rarity , applejack and the dazzling’s

My little pony was my life and back then my preference was the rainbooms and now I’ve watched this more than 10 times

2:28 personal time stamp

Good cartoons always end

i absolutely loved them when i first saw them, now im gay :D

I loved it when I was 5, still in love with it at 15 :)

Me when I was 5 watching the end of that: Yay Rainbooms! Me now: I liked the dazzlings better-

I just watched rainbow rocks and...I'm totally simping for this girls

Yea, I fell in love with Adagio. I've just realized that.

The dazzlings songs are iconic i can't-

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS SONG

I had and still have a crush on Adagio 😔

Remember when rainbow rocks first came out

Doesn’t make any sense that the mane six can sing many songs in the pony world but when twilight comes to the human world she can’t sing lmao

*Proud lesbian sounds* YR LATER EDIT: I used to be lesbian? Im pan- everyone hot af

amazing

🌼sonata looks 10 times better with DAT filter🌼

Who lisent this song with 1,25 Thats like the original but boy sing it

This is what would happen if battle of the bands was sung by boys/low voiced girls also in my stories one of the characters is actually based off the Dazzlings

This reminds me of when I was younger and I used to take my sonata doll with me everywhere I went

im 101% lesbian for Sonata husk and Adagio-

just realized how much i was obsessed with those three, especially with Sonata, they give me a Heather's vibe

Lmao, my brother still makes fun of me of when I used to listen to this song like 25 times a day as a kid
