The most charismatic performer to grace the Hurricane's stage over the past year was Princess Superstar. Backed by a DJ and bassist, she kept the venue's dance-music crowd from making an immediate retreat to the back deck with her saucy wordplay and powerful presence. Stepping into characters, she became a bad-girl baby-sitter, an energetic android and a punk-rock prom queen. For the most part, though, she played a vivacious Venus, using hot-and-bothered hip-hop to send her worshippers into hormonal overdrive.
