While going through my play lists I decided to create one that relied more on the performance strength of the Model (interaction, demeanor, mood, etc.) instead of looks and outfit and I've come to the conclusion that Jana Cova, Lorena, and Melisa are far better performers overall than any of the other Models. Any thoughts or comments/additions would be welcome. My Uber play list currently contains the following.

Alizee
Carmen Croft
Dorothy Bank
Giselle
Jana Cova
Jewel
Lorena
Melisa
Morgane
Natali Blond
Sandra H.

I do not like Suzie Q. But I have heard that she is an excellent pole dancer.
Does she count?

Yes it Counts. Suzie Q is probably the best pole dancer on VG; I'm not a pole dancer fan personally however. I think for this project I'm more focused on viewer interaction/personality than anything else.

Jenni Gregg

Suzie Q sans doute la meilleure danseuse à la barre
performance exceptionnelle et bien musclée
ensuite , on aime ou pas, cela ne retire rien de ses performance

Jenni Gregg and Suzie Q both added.

Have a look at Shabba, Sandra Shine and Axelle Parker. They are what i call entertainers. Mirka is too in her first show Summer Walk.

btw it is hard to define what exactly IS a strong performance.
For me a strong performance means either:
very good to cheer me up (Eliskas SummerBall for example or the latest Tina Kay shows)
extremely seductive and hot (watch Marjanas latest for that or Cindy Dollar on VG)
(really) funny/entertaining because the girl shows her acting abilities (Sandra Shines VIP card, Shabbas Pool Party, Mirkas Summer Walk, partly Ariel & Trisha Big Cuddle)

or professional Strip Shows (prime example is Aleska Diamond on VG)

All these are shows where i cannot look away. They keep my attention focussed.
Jenni Gregg has some entertaining skills too so i sort her shows into very good to cheer me up or funny/entertaining
Carmen Croft is in some of her shows extremely seductive and hot
Lorena is good to cheer me up
Jana Cova can be extremely seductive and hot
not sure about Melisa i think she has a bit of most categories.

As @Starryk says, it is difficult to define what best performer means. It could mean so many things.

In a general sense, it could mean the most consistent performer, the most enthusiastic performance, or the most entetaining on a general level. In this case, my view would be more objective in that I may pick girls who I don't necessarily regard as my favourites.

On this basis I would say that Melissa, PussyKat, Alizee, Pepito, Dorothy Banks and Jana Cova come under the best performances in that I think they are consistently good over all their cards.

But if I were to girls whose performances suit my specific taste or where I really like their performance in one specific card then the list is slightly different:

Alizee, Jenni Gregg, Kristine Kristalis, Chems, Jana H and Britney come under this category.

Without seeing many of her cards, I think Suzie Q is definately the best pole dancer, and thus the best performaer in that category.

So on the basis that Alizee is the only firl in both the lists I gave and is not bad on the pole compared to some of the other girls, it would have to be Alizee.

I'd like to add Abigaile Johnson Words of Love to that list. Yes, I'm a bit of a fan, but I like to mix just this card up with her DB performance to get a real feeling of naughty and nice...;)

Shabba must be definitiv in every playlist.

also i would add Karina - Latino Party
and Tarra White

That is pretty much why I started this thread; to help define that special something that some performers have that seems to be a rare quality in general. The enthusiasm (thanks Apasas) and the cheer me up (thanks Starryk) might be that special quality I was looking at. Giselle, Lorena, and Jana Cova seem to radiate an overall "I actually am Enjoying Myself" quality of show that is hardly common and is actually infectious. Alizee also seems to have "IT" to an extent. I wonder if it's a reflection of their actual personalities or attained acting skills. I might mention that what started my quest if you will, was to find how many cards were actually entertaining when my hotness levels were set to Lightly Sexy only. Please do keep the suggestions coming.

Although alot of my go to girls are already listed I'd add Natalia and Olga Barz as both are endlessly entertaining for me and are very unique entertainers. Baby Nicole can be fun to watch as well as she's a little ball of energy and attitude.

Short cards and no explicit content; still had to add Luciana. Natalia, Baby Nicole, and Olga Barz added (thanx zebrazuk). Karina and Tarra White added (thanx spaceinvader).

Another non-explicit girl that I like a lot is Laura. She never fails to catch my attention.

Apasas
SHE or her BUTT.

Both. Must be a real tease on light sexy though...

I like Laura as the full package, butt included. Ans she certainly makes my own package multiply in volume, but that is another matter.

Another star performer for me is Susan. She performs well at all levels; from VGHD to DB; from light sexy to X-rated.

With regards to Alizee, she says in her interview video that she enjoys being a fantasy for men. Alizee seemed to be sincere when she said it. It is her vocation as well as her profession.

So perhaps she performs well because it is something that she actually enjoys doing and really does want to please us, because it also pleases herself. I would certainly like to think this to be true.

Eliska!! She's smokin HOT! under Summer Ball. She does count if you want her in it! She's so cool when she dances! :P

Surprised nobody has mentioned Nicol Vanilla yet - the most exciting and entertaining new performer of 2011 - for me her only genuine rival in that respect was Aleska Diamond.

Sharka Blue one of my favorite performers.Sandra H I think is the best performer she is cute sexy and she moves so gracefully.

I kind of want to see one of the girls perform like this: http://youtu.be/IFE6DdIBUj8
