Performers Of The Year 2012 Review

Reviewed by bono-ONE  on  1/31/2012

Welcome fans to the latest in the popular Performers of the Year series from Elegant Angel and this years cast is as good as any this series has seen to date with plenty of fan faves here including the recent winner of the Performer of the Year award at this AVN Fest, Bobbi Starr. I don't imagine most of you need a review to buy this title as the pedigree is all laid out for you- cast is hot, Elegant Angel is the studio and William H is capturing the action. It doesn't get much better for gonzo fans so let's hit a few highlights for the stragglers that just aren't sure yet about picking this one up.

Asa Akira:

We open with perhaps the biggest single female winner at this years show as Asa Akira picked up multiple awards at this years show and here's a scene that very well will get her some recognition come a year from now. A great opening interview with Asa discussing this past years events and we are treated to some rocking tease shots too, the pink lace lingerie looked very good on Asa. They even get Asa in the shower with running water and I love water tease so a super addition to this scene. James Deen then joins in and anyone who knows James shouldn't need to guess that the energy level picks up noticeably with some great face diving into Asa's ass. Asa then gets to impale her throat on his cock keeping the maximum overdrive level revving followed by the fucking where there is no let down. A great opener ending with Asa jerking the load out herself all over her face, superb clean up after.

Gracie Glam:

Our next girl was a big winner at last years AVN show taking home Best New Starlet and that propelled Gracie to a super hot 2011 with her first anal scenes and more hot sex for her growing fan base including some good dramatic turns in a few features. No surprise she's brought back for another round of this series as 2012 promises more hot sex for Gracie and she also leads off her scene doing an interview with William reliving some highlights from this past year. The tease is also mixed in where she wears black fishnet with nothing covering her crotch, yay. Nicely during the tease where she's talking about doing anal they mix in footage of her doing anal. Cool they bring Michael Stefano in to work with Gracie, haven't seen him in awhile. He's very good at pleasuring the ladies as Gracie experiences here, kissing, fingering and more good face diving between ass cheeks- I'd say Gracie's got an ass you'd want to have smothering your face and Michael lets her have a good firm seat over his! Good head from Gracie too, perhaps not as balls to the wall as Asa but I actually like the style here a bit better that Gracie uses. No anal in this scene but some really good pussy pounding from Michael results in a spectacular facial blast for Gracie with clean up after.

Jayden Jaymes:

Up next is Jayden who is making her second straight appearance in this series. Jayden lays out some highlights from the past year which Elegant captured for her fans. The all white backdrop really helps Jayden's dark hair and eyes stand out. Obviously the rocking tits are always ready to unleash themselves from her outfits and Jayden nicely obliges her fans taking those puppies out while the tease goes along. Manuel is brought in for this scene and he has a good time kissing his way down from her lips to her tits and finally her pussy/ ass. The shot of Jayden lying on her stomach while Manuel is licking her ass was awesome. Jayden is more like Asa in her head style being more aggressive though it isn't a long bj before Manuel slides in to pound her cookie. Several positions later and we have blast off to Jayden's face with clean up. Another good scene for Miss Jaymes who no doubt will be one to watch in 2012.

Lexi Belle:

Our next girl up is Lexi Belle who has the whole cute girl next door look down pat and then you watch her fuck and she can be pretty naughty when she wants to be. During her interview Lexi recounts the Massive Facials 4 scene being a big highlight of her year-- totally going out of her comfort zone and anyone who watched the scene knows she did very good. The tease was really good too- such a pretty woman Lexi is from head to toe with some great natural boobs and a sexy ass too. Nice we have Michael Stefano back for another scene and he shows Lexi a good time kissing her lips before letting Lexi take over as she engulfs his cock. Not a terribly long initial bj but some good shots here leading to Lexi climbing on for the ride in cowgirl. Good shots in reverse too with Michael taking a pause for the cause to face dive in her ass, you gotta do that at least once with Lexi Belle that ass is too good not to. The scene closes with Michael hovering over Lexi's face letting his cum stream down upon her lips. I think 2012 will be another solid year for this babe.

Kagney Linn Karter:

The first disc closes out with another recent Best New Starlet winner who had quite a naughty & nasty year in 2011. Lots of good anal for Kagney and even a little double anal as well in her big Kagney Linn Karter Is Relentless title that Elegant also produced & released this year. Kagney's first words to us- I've always been wild!! Yep that about sums it up in a nutshell. Oh my she wants to start doing some bondage- well well that could be interesting for her more hardcore fans. More hard sex is definitely in the cards, at least Kagney wants this and I'm sure there are more than enough producers capturing porn including William H and Elegant that will oblige this wish during the coming year. James Deen opened the show and he's back to close out this disc so Kagney wanted harder action she's about to get her wish. James starts off with his cock over her mouth and we move to some very good and aggressive dick sucking from Kagney. James then slips down to start drilling that pussy fast 'n' furious style with one hand reaching up to cup her throat. A little surprised that there was no anal but the blistering pussy sex more than keeps the interest level high until James is ready to blast off to Kagney's face. Now time to check out disc number two.

Bobbi Starr:

So we begin the second disc with Bobbi who was the Performer of the Year as she was recently crowned at the AVN awards. Anyone who's watched Bobbi over the years knows she's a true class act and has been one of the best performers of this past decade. In the past year she also added directing into her repertoire to go along with the fantastic fucking she's known for. Bobbi is also a big time worker at Kink.com so she's very busy and she gives us a sense of what she does as the interview here moves on. Another good location too for the scene and Bobbi has some room to move as she teases us with her body and those pretty eyes. I'd have to say Bobbi has one of the best smiles in porn too and if you've ever met her at a show you know how personable she is, great with the fans. Alright we get Michael Stefano back again and there is good kissing and some fingering too. Mr. Stefano who himself is a former performer of the year does some good oral/ ass licking too on Bobbi, warming her up! Michael then dips his dick in that pussy, it proved to tempting and then we let Bobbi gag herself on his cock shortly after. William perfectly captures the long strand of spit coming down off his shaft as she is deep throating him. They take a pause in mid fuck so Bobbi can back that ass up and smother his face and she really does a job here working that ass up and down his face, pretty sure Michael enjoyed the hell out of that. A few more tongue licks and we were ready for Michael to ease that dick in for some anal play. A couple positions later and we have a cum filled face filling the screen! Thanks Bobbi and congrats!

Kristina Rose:

We close the show with another of porns best gonzo workers and there hasn't been much that Kristina hasn't tried now over these past several years and she also got some recognition this year at the AVN's and I have no doubts she'll be top contender again this year. You want enthusiasm, attitude and a willingness to lose yourself in the scene-- book Kristina Rose! Highlights of this year for Kristina included the 3 way she did with Kagney for her big movie and we learn Kristina has been in all the volumes for this particular series save for the first one. Another highlight was a scene she did with Manuel- there have been many in the past but not as much in 2011 so she really enjoyed that Seduction scene. At the end of her tease Kristina gets real emotional recounting when she first got into the biz and how she proved so many wrong becoming the huge successful performer she is today. I hope everyone gets a chance to see that part as it really shines a wonderful light on Kristina as a person, not only as a Performer, we know she kicks ass there. More great tease then follows with Kristina in front of a piano, I think we'd all like to play her keys!Jordan Ash is brought in and he goes in for a good pussy lick and fingering. Kristina then gets to face fuck herself on his cock as William provides a good side angle shot. Of course they do anal during the sex and they don't forget to focus plenty of Kristina's world class ass. Pretty good pop for her to taste when we close the show. Keep on truckin Kristina Rose!!

Extras & Final Thoughts:

Well fans this was another outstanding effort from Elegant and William H. The cast was top notch and the interviews really helped set the scenes up and I am still thinking about how emotional Kristina got at the end of hers, I really loved that. The action was there, the tease was there and the ladies more than held up their end. Solid guys too with Michael Stefano, Manuel Ferrara and James Deen carrying the bulk of the scene work with Jordan Ash coming in for Kristina's scene. As for extras you get behind the scenes so definitely check that out and there are bonus scenes too from girls that didn't quite make the main list- Jada Stevens, Jynx Maze, Andy San Dimas and a two fer with Kelly Divine & Ava Rose so yeah you'll wanna check those out too. You also get a photo gallery and they repeat the pop shots too. An easy recommendation for purchase.
