Who is MJ's guitarist?

In the Michael jackson rehearsal video that's making the rounds today, there's a chick with long blonde hair playing guitar. Anybody know who she is. Just curious. She kinda looked like Orianthi (sp?).

Jennifer Batten?

I would be tempted to say Jennifer Batten, but I do recall seeing a video where he made Greg Howe wear a big white wig :thwap:

Jenifer Batten played with him for some time and Greg Howe is wearing a blond wig in the video below maybe to look like Jenifer is still in the band? lol

Right now nobody is his guitarist.

Yep her name is indeed Orianthi. It's not Jenifer Batten.

Where is this video?

CNN is playing it. CNN is the closest thing right now to a TV video network - MJ 24/7 for a week now.

I think we had Orianthi's video posted here some long time ago.

Well, I wonder why Jennifer wasn't considered. Still Orianthi doesn't blow me away...

When I saw this awesome rehearsal video (Great MJ performance!!!), I first thought it was Shannon Curfman on guitar!

 

[Kazz]

Jimi....I respectfully have to disagree....she may not blow you away...but she does me.....man...she sings like Fiona Apple or Pink....and she plays a mean guitar......influenced by Carlos Santana, Jimi, BB, she has some chops......first its the 7 year old kids...now damn girls.....making me look bad....I better practice more

Ain't that the truth!
It seems this rising star has caught the attention of a lot of people in the last 24 hours after seeing the vid.

the guitar solo in beat it was done by Eddie Van Halen, then a bit later Slash did a collaboration but it ended up pretty rubbish.
