Agreed, but why do pretty girls feel like they need to pluck all of their eyebrows off? I can't wait until that's out of style.

[wilch]

I can't believe she's Australian.

Great player.

[sick-boy]

seriously? This thread is two years old...

[wilch]

Well, seeing as she was going to be MJ's guitarist I thought bringing back an old thread instead of creating a brand new one would be appropriate.

What's more annoying, multiple threads on the same thing or one thread about the same damn thing...

New clips:

She seems pretty good on that YT vid. I like her vibrato.

It's pretty relevant, considering she was the last guitarist for Michael Jackson who happens to be featured in that last rehearsal video...

Edit: looks like wilch beat me to it

[wilch]

Mmmhmm, when I saw the last rehearsal video on the news I sat forwarded and exclaimed, "That's not Jennifer Batten!!!", then the camera zoomed in, which had me exclaiming again, "Oh wow, who is this girl!"

She's Aussie yet no-one in my circle of friends had heard of her. Just shows you how crap the Aussie music industry is at recognising and promoting talent.

Ya, but do we love WHAT they play (or Orianthi in this case)? Sure, good performer, but if one would only hear her play, I thinks reacts wouldn't be Wowz etc (judging from what can be seen in Youtube).
A middle aged guy, beerbelly and all playing the same licks... Who would care?

But, I won't say she's a good lady guitarplayer, because "boy vs. girl" scenarios makes me wanna "face palm".

She's okay as a guitarplayer.

Ha, ha, ha, looks as you described me LOL.
I think she has a good skill level, otherwise MJ didn't choose her.

[waylay00]

She's decent. Her tone kinda sucks though (IMO).

[Ibateur]

Yeah, I don't like her tone much, seems thin. Her chops are good from what I saw on youtube. Overall, good for her.

[etfmusic]

I like her on all aspects ;-)

[wilch]

Well, I think she deserves to be more popular than some... e.g. Avril Lavigne.
