It is easy to imagine Alix sharing her own twist of that joyful jive to the classic “Mambo No. 5.” Alix had proven-worthy of admiration-were her choreography and strength in the field. Alongside her emerald-green outfit, the entire performance just gave satisfaction to her follower base, who rejoiced about the newest development in her progress and presence on stage.

The energy in Alix Earle‘s newest drop is like the streetlights, taking her from the big off-cam to small in the spotlight, dressed in a sharp green two-piece that really grabs one’s eyes, setting her feet to the loud beats of “Mambo No. 5.” The brief caption simply read, “Took a trip to club Mambo No. 5,” but, jive-wise, it was far from basic. It was a full-out jive, one of the hardest to nail with all those kicks and flicks, and she was not chilling. You can just tell she put the work in. Her face was selling every bit of her music; the engagement with the music is very critical, especially for someone who has shared openly during her whole ‘Dancing with the Stars’ journey.
It became immediate and overwhelmingly positive. The fan focused on difficulty and said, “The make up was on point and I think you were robbed of 8’s because you were 1st. Amazing jive! So hard to do!” And she is so right; going first is the hardest position to receive scores from the judges. Another viewer was just enamored with the vibe: “This look was EVERYTHING.” And they are right-the green outfit did speak volumes.
It does, however, bring attention to those obvious improvements. “So much improvement! I loved seeing your facial expressions! You are killing it!!!” comments one observer, echoing the sentiments of many who have witnessed her week-to-week progress. Others become especially proud; another admitted, “not me crying every time I watch you like a proud best friend….” Cute, in its way, for indicating just how much people have invested in her success. Her recent Miami afternoons seem to have contributed to her relaxed focus.
It made for fun comparisons. One user saw movie vibes and commented, “It’s giving Pacino in Scarface vibes.” Conversely, another fan said, “Everyone is saying tinkerbell but I think it’s giving @megmoroney.” That green did bring to mind so many iconic looks, perhaps even a nod to Lady Gaga. The feeling of international appeal did catch some attention, with one saying, “Achei uma vibe meio brasil, amei,” which was to say, “I found it had a bit of a Brazilian vibe, and I loved it.” Another stated, “Y’all look ready for carnaval in Brazil.” That vibe was contagious for sure.
Not every comment was full of admiration, but those few criticisms were silenced by a mountain of applause from other commentary. “Alix is so good loved the choreography absolutely nailed it,” said one. From the specific moves to the broad encouragement: “THE BABY FREEZE IN THE BEGINNING ICONICCC” and “Go alix go your doing amazing sweetie,” the comments painted the picture of an artist who is connecting with her target audience. The support from fellow competitors like Scott Hoying has been wonderful to see.
