What makes a Great Performance?

@pantalone said(paraphrased by me);
...Maybe the directors can coach the girls to be greater...

1. Engagement with the viewer, eye contact, camera engagement. The hit shows all create a link between the performer and viewer and it’s the eyes that do it.

2. Expressiveness, humour, playfulness, characterisation and play-acting. Maybe get the girls to define a theme and then act it out, rather than deadpan the strip. Maybe plan “surprises”, such as costume incidents, and tutor the girls to react and involve the viewer.

3. Variety, either in dance or mood. Sometimes driven by the costume, but the performer really needs to buy into it and have a list of things to do in her head when she starts. Different for each show, if poss.

4. A sense that they are enjoying what they do. Confidence and willingness to be explicit, even if they’re playing shy (really being shy never seems to earn a Take2).

Is this list correct and in a sensible order? What have I forgotten? Or is the ability to project personality, while stripping, innate and untrainable in the limited time available to the Totem directors? Or is it about something other than performance? This isn’t the thread for demanding more nun costumes or stuff specific to you, but what do you think makes certain card series winners?
You made some solid points! I agree wholeheartedly on your list 1-4. I think it comes down to all around performance & AVAILABILITY of the model for a Take 2..
I personally go with someone I'm attracted to & doesn't have fake; boobs, lips, etc.. The show only gets better for me if she has confidence and can actually dance, let alone have actual pole dancing skills. Confidence & variety go a long ways! (I do enjoy some of the more ameture and awkward shows though!)

I like your list. Anything else I might add would be second-tier--things that would turn a 4-star into a 5-star performance. Things like dancing and pole skills. The ability to fake an orgasm convincingly if they're not having a real one. Even beauty is second tier--the highest rating I'll give a performer based on looks is three stars, i.e., barely enough to keep me from deleting the card. OTOH, I've given 4 and 5 stars to performers that I'm not particularly attracted to.

The things you list are exactly the sorts of things I come back to time and again when I'm rating and reviewing cards. A given performer can do a lot to make up for a lack of skill. I've seen performances where it's obvious the performer doesn't know what the ***** they're but they've decided to just say ***** it and have fun. Think Carolina Abril or Jia Lissa. They wouldn't win any contests on technical ability, but damn, those shows are fun to watch! What makes them so? Engagement, expressiveness, a sense they are enjoying what they do.

I think a perfect show, or one as close to perfect as it gets, combines technical ability with the factors you list--most especially the performer having a goal of what they wish to accomplish with the show and using that goal to focuss what they do. Think Sasha Meow. She knows what she wants to do and every movement, every nuance in her expression, the make up, the costume are all calculated to achieve what she wants. Skill and creativity come together and OMG does that work!
