I just learned about the artist known as Orianthi. She was a guitarist for Carrie Underwood, Michael Jackson, and now Alice Cooper while being a one hit wonder herself with "According to you". How can someone that rocks this damned hard:
NOT be a big deal and Justin Beiber is? Sometimes there is no justice in the world, is there?

Yeah, I've known about her for a while. Liked her work, bought her album, it's a decent album all things considered. It was a shame her career didn't take off as much as I thought it would've, especially after that first hit she had.

As an aside, I kind of want that guitar that Vai is using in that video, even if it is kind of ugly. I like 7 string guitars but I usually don't come across them often. The ones I do find are kind of bare bone in terms of equipment. I guarantee that one he is playing is prime.

I REALLY hated According to You, and my personal distaste for the song means I'm fine with her not being more popular if i don't have to hear such terrible lyrical messages again. "some guy says he likes me so I'm going over here now" blagh.

I just learned about her last week from the reboot of Pop Up Video. She's a damn fine guitarist.

She is an amazing guitarist. I definitely thought that her working with Michael Jackson would've helped her career take off, however, she strikes me as someone who just enjoys what she does and isn't looking for fame.
Her cover of Michael's "Give In To Me" was pretty good considering it was all acoustic too.

Lyrical depth is not something people that age are known for. |
