Jennifer Batten and Michael Jackson

[PIMPZproduction]

this video scares me because it reminds me that all my heros from the 80s dressed like girls

[kssork]

dont like it.

[matheusatallah]

bucharest this version is not the dvd. there is this whole version??

[Gothxha]

The female Van Halen?

[debbieluvsibanez]

[totobish2009]

Jessus.....this woman is really amazing....

[peanarchist]

This should be titled "Crossroads (The sequel) - Revenge of the Batten"

[philmwhite]

Not the most musical solo in the world...

[GuitarLordChels]

@philmwhite im assuming u havent actually heard any of her own music, new or old, and im also guessing u dont know that she toured with Jeff Beck for 4 years on 2 world tours? ALso mj was a pop guy, pop solo. doesnt make sence for her go into rock solo land. Also jennifer hates this video becuase her strings went flat.she said so in an interview

[Misrilou]

Hey Jennifer, Marry Me!!!

[Boghman22]

Very hot...not technical, but the crowd doesn't look like one that could appreciate such a thing.

[HongwareeChannel]

what a bad solo, however, she was so lucky to be with Michael...Piece of history...

[GuitarLordChels]

Jennifer is Queen. enough said

[doctoristina]

oh my GOD !....she is one SERIOUSLY, wickedly talented bitch...awesome !!!

[mandymike58]

This girl is amazing, and Mike is the best n_n ♥

[InsideSoulMusic]

[JigsawWill]

[MazterGuitarz]

Absolutely!

I love to watch her in this sequence, but furthermoore, her own albums, which are really GREAT!

Talent will never go out style...

More women to us men(mean guitar..)

Check out this site(in code b'cause of the YT hazards for links..

t.i at my HP at YT.

[ThePreciousguitar87]

You can see influences of Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai and Michael Hedges in her playing. She rocks! She is a female Vai.

Her clean tapping is awesome!

[Wipealot]

She has the haircut of my troll in WoW... not rly but you can get it. lol

[Brokephi316]

Orianthi's mom!!!

[aoisatan]

wow orianthi cant beat her

[snakeater1810]

@aoisatan Yes for shure... in her dreams.

[FabianaFortyFive45]

J.BATTEN is A VERY GREAT GUITARIST..... I LOVE, I LOVE, I LOVE..... specially with Michael, it's magical !!!!! The way they perform together on stage, there's a perfect harmony between them..... I really love this video. Thanks to PUPDND. With love.

[MazterGuitarz]

@FabianaFortyFive45

So true.. She's a God's gift to male Gutaristz, cause she so talented,

with these grooves and licks, she should be president!! (Almost)

And if not, kill all men (except me, I will have a Heaven then..)

Cheerz/MazterGuitarz

[GuitarLordChels]

[ALINM00NWALKER]

[GuitarLordChels]

@ALINM00NWALKER slash is the male version of jennifer batten!!!!!

[ALINM00NWALKER]

@GuitarLordChels oh , yeah you're right. this is my mistake

[154Ann]

1:40..

[nana071786]

OMG!!!! In my opinion the best part of this concert...lol!!!

[ellonysman]

Im excited! SShes doing some kind of promo at our local music store TONIGHT! yahooooooooooooo. I wanna shake the hand that shook hands with Jeff Beck, then I can say Ive been one away from the master...lucky girl!

[sango3876]

Home girl got it tie down

[kakashi1810]

I think shes more like a female Van Halen XD

[njxiong]

1:15 mike jizzes on her! dam he's awesome!

[YeOleFoghornLeghorn]

sounds like she taught eddy van halen

[TheCukies13]

this must be orianthi's mom

[nana071786]

@TheCukies13 Oh yeah Orianthi was definitely watching this video..lol

[amosfunk]

Bravo

[chef4cook]

she is hott!

[bondurango]

Edy Van Halen

[datluigi]

Jennifer Batten is the only female guitarist I've ever seen able to compete with Jimmy Hendrix, Paul Gilbert, Eric Clapton, EVH, etc. in terms of skill.

[xxamplifyxx]

@datluigi sadly your confusing skill with tricks....... those are riffs and tricks anyone with a long weekend and a guitar could learn....

[datluigi]

@xxamplifyxx It takes skill to perform tricks, and yes this isn't a very talented video of hers but look at her string skipping in her newer videos it's fucking amazing.

[sphinxicity]

Batten and Jackson-the perfect look-at-me, over wrought, dressup clowns. Just make a lot of noise and wiggle...hideous.Get these girls a hair cut.

[Piotrelek123]

orianthi can kiss her ass... !!!!!

[GladRags]

lol guys i dont care what you gonna throw at me, but this solo hurt my ears. It suxx!

[that1ethnicguy]

that was probably the most obnoxious guitar solo iv ever heard. all it consisted of was a bunch of pinched bends, and whammy bar wankery.

[GuitarLordChels]

@that1ethnicguy u cant even dream of playing that, get out of here troll

[vmcnick]

@that1ethnicguy

Seriously, that was horrible. What a joke.

[Mai1239]

@vmcnick dnftt

[vmcnick]

@Mai1239

My apologies. I just couldn't help it.

[Mai1239]

@vmcnick [:

[GuitarLordChels]

OMG U CAN JUS THAT GUITAR SCREAM!!!!!! SHE MAN PUT IT DOWN! AWESOME!!!!!!

[GuitarLordChels]

Dudes, every time i watch this, i am simply blown away by Jennifer's talent and looks! she is a rare true beauty! we love you Jennifer!

[youngj1800]

thads not a focking jackson its a ibanez u dumbs

[jimbang]

best female rock guitarist

[cherokee640001]

@jimbang Orianthi is the best without doubt

[GuitarLordChels]

@cherokee640001 Jennifer Batten is way better sorry. Orianthi is extremely talented, but Jennifer is still better.

[H057IL3]

I wonder why MJ always preferred to have female guitarists over male as far as I know.

[Sanana135]

@H057IL3 'Cause he liked girls....

[GuitarLordChels]

@H057IL3 um he didnt nesscarely, not even Jennifer knows if he did prefer. she was just always the lead, the backups were all guys though

[madgeandmj]

what is the innitia1 ch0rd she is h01ding ??? is it  c#m?

[daraghkinch]

Fuck! What an honour!

The hair stole the show in my opinion.

[ChristophMikael]

Both such phenomenal performers.

[epicmenio]

Jesus Christ!

[cortezforever]

she had some nice curves.

[eleph4nt]

she should've played a jackson guitar

OOOO terrible joke

[awfulguitarplucker]

JENNIFER "IBANEZ" + MICHAEL JACKSON=PERFECTION!

[MGinGerFisHM]

If it was me i'd would be so stressed up with MJ staring at the guitar LOL...

kudos to JB!

[UncleTito72]

I want to marry her.

[vashMeow]

DAMN! THAT GUITAR IS CRYING!

[KEVBOfilms]

damn thats sexy

[TheIceIceSarah]

Jennifer Batten Went To My College A Couple Of Month Back!!

[rodentcafeteria]

Michael definitely had a love of rock music and/or rock guitar, which he incorporated into many of his songs. I would have loved to have seen him and Prince do something together, but from what I've heard, there were "issues" between the two that kept them from working together.

[cortezforever]

@rodentcafeteria yeah, michael wanted prince to say "your butt is mine," and prince wasn't feeling it.

[hugatag]

Jennifer Batten=a female Jimmy Hendrix

[5uckRogers]

@hugatag i love Jimmy but honestly if Jimmy is a big house then Jennifer is a skyscraper. This woman is in the top of the pack.

[eleph4nt]

@hugatag more like a female van halen!

[geeupson]

@hugatag See more vai influence there myself

[vicenteroma]

@hugatag I'd rather say.... a female Steve Vai

[MazterGuitarz]

@hugatag

Yeah and a 5 tons load more..

So Great!!

I'm a guitarizt, and so overhelmed by her licks (and tighs)..

Shame on me, she a talented Guitarizt.

one of the best!!!

[999mimi]

I saw jennifer at the MJ Tribute Concert in Merriville IN. on Aug 28th..She is REALLY GOOD!!!!

And she still looks the same...except for the hair...lol.

LOVE U MJ!!!

[colt45acp59]

Magic! Fantastic final.

[JSEBCKGC]

i love her....but not her hair in this vid, ..much better now

[snowblind1985]

around 1:13.. its hilarious how the backup dancers turn.. but on another note, this woman has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aay too much talent in one person.. jennifer batten's tribal rage is just at another level..

[Acer6828]

I've actually had the privilege of meeting her. She's one cool lady.

[Mai1239]

I LOVE HER!

[danielworks]

nice ass

[itachi456789]

What an ass

[mjjnj5fan29]

This is one amazing guitarist. It is too bad that she isn't more recognized for her work

[MazterGuitarz]

@mjjnj5fan29

True

be she is really..

A good guitarizt among guitaristz is always reconigzied,

an she's exeptionell!!!

Love her jam with Jeff Beck..

and her solo albums!!

[schultz970]

@mjjnj5fan29 you don't get recognized for your talent anymore. you get recognized for your t&a or who you're sleeping with, rehab, court dates etc. truly a shame. but people like you see it and that's cool.

[ChewyCervantes]

@mjjnj5fan29 She can hit more harmonics in one solo than I can EVER do in my whole life. :D

[Thebestofweelman]

thats why i don't play ibanez

[carlylb1]

Im proud to say my friend Danny Oliver is touring with Jennifer! L.O.V.E

[MrsJasminJackson]

That's really the best solo of Jennifer Batten!! Long and powerful! And she emailed me that it's also her favorite guitar solo of Michael Jackson's songs! :)

[RichMichael1980]

Showboat!

[NathanVernon]

The chemistry between them in every tour is fantastic.

[chemicalguns]

@NathanVernon too bad hes DEAD!

[ximenazm1]

Jennifer Batten just the guitar queen.

[SECONER1]

I LOVE U JENNIFER!

[hellspawn0391]

hah the synchronisation was excellent but i dont know what to say about solo...was too poor..a bit of melodic thing wont kill her if she played...this solo is ugly:D

[john100174]

never herd of her but i will say if she is on stage with MJ she has to be good..

[chemicalguns]

She's ok. I'm going to see her and slash in august so that should be interesting

[dangerousvampiregirl]

@chemicalguns Slash and Jennifer?You mean together??Because that would be really awesome... O_O

[chemicalguns]

@dangerousvampiregirl ummmm i not sure sure if they will be performing together

[dangerousvampiregirl]

@chemicalguns Oh, what a pity, that would have been really cool, they could have played some Mike stuff ...

Anyways where are you gonna see them although they don't play together?

[chemicalguns]

@dangerousvampiregirl at a concert thing, it has some really good guitarists there

[npg89]

Boring!!! She's lame!! At least orianthi doesn't depend on the stick to make different tunes n sounds on the guitar n at least she actually plays instead of turning the stick around n strumming it. This Jennifer chick is a load of crap!! ORIANTHI all the way!!

[bucketguy88]

@npg89 You dont know nothin' about good music you need to see Jennifer playing Dirty Diana, You are Orianthi fanboy.

[npg89]

@bucketguy88 ori is today music this is old stuff and this old stuff isnt cool. n if michael didint think orianthi was any good he wudnt have hired her in the 1st place.

[bucketguy88]

@npg89 I'm not saying that orianthi isn't good but jennifer is better. You need to hear her solo album to understand how amazingly she plays guitar.

[DRAMAxB0ii]

BAD ASS



[p0rkjell0]

Her 8 finger taps are sick... I want to marry her!

[busmaster1]

kult

[anonymusum]

she is good, the show itself is stupid

[laaxe]

I can pretty much play anything Beck, Clapton, or Paige has ever played. But this monster is a GODESS!!! (or Godess is a Monster!!!)

Whew.....

[hugatag]

@laaxe have you checked out the video of Jennifer and Jeff Beck playing blue wind?

I almost soiled myself when I first heard it, now I wear depends for adults just in case! :)

[bl8tmate]

Damn she frikkin' wails and she's hot!  Best deal ever!

[MazterGuitarz]

@bl8tmate

Can't disagree, (see below),she's so ultimately cool..

and great talent, and the big issue is that she's no guitarplaying man!

Hail the G:women, they will arise...

(well, don't they have a G-spot?)

Sorry, very bad joke....

but this is

RESPECT!!!

[Exldark]

That's a high point of the song !

[moimoiac]

Jennifer Batten oh oh yeah!

[MarcBurnsThatBarn]

attended her masterclass 2day......2nd to none!!!

[louloutre]

Orianthi is good technically, she's a beautiful girl, but I think she lacks soul. Jennifer expresses so much emotions when she performs. Orianthi just stands there, like she would type on a keyboard. JUst watch the video, so I think Orianthi's appeal is to be a sexy young girl and to be able to play the guitar. Of course, it looks nice on stage, but I'm sure thousands of guitarists have her level.

[TomaatjuhX]

She come's to Leeuwarden! (netherlands)

[perrinormal]

Great guitarist. Terrible dresser. That hair style - big mistake.

[Ken5244]

Is there anything even remotely resembling melody in this noise-fest? I didn't hear it.

I hear lots of tasteless tremolo bar squealing and unimaginative fretboard tapping. The notes mean NOTHING. Why on earth do people like this? Just 'cuz they're young & haven't heard it before? Jeez, this recycled noodling got old around the mid-80s. As Eddie VH once said, "You can teach a monkey to play fast."

Someone cite a time mark in this 'song' where there's any melody. Any at all I'm waiting.

[leanintolife]

@Ken5244 Having said that, its a pretty shitty funk groove to play on.

[Ken5244]

@leanintolife

I agree with that. That said, there are plenty of guitarists who can play interesting, well constructed solos over one vamped chord. This woman is obviously not one of them (at least not based on this performance). Waaaaay overrated IMHO.

I can remember reading about JB way back in the mid-80s when she first made a name for herself in the L.A. scene. She had talent, but what she appears to have done with it is really disappointing. And what's with the drag queen look? Yuk.

[bnyce52]

@Ken5244 00:52

[Ken5244]

@bnyce52

You're joking right? *laugh*

[CullenLovesMe]

SHEEE ROOOOCKS!

[snakeweirdo]

She is a better tapper than many of the great guitarists.

[blusclint]

this kind of music is dead. It's only virtuoisism, exhibition. but it doesn't create any kind of imagination. Oh yeah, it's full of energy, you can jump or dance, and then? what remains inside really emotional. With this music you don't have any trip with mind and hearts. It's as a roman fire. Beautiful immediatly, then it die. And the silence that follows is most interesting.

[MyEvilValentine25]

first off if you know how to play the guitar that well at that SPEED your a great guitarist hands down!! i loved it :)

[guitarmusicplayer11]

The only fucking thing that she does is playing fast, and you can do that only prectising. I want to see her playing some clasic music, and then we will talk.

[zxcymn]

@guitarmusicplayer11

You can't say that for sure since you have no idea what she does in her spare time. Some think Buckethead only plays fast but he's covered classical music and has a lot of beautiful stuff. Same with Randy Rhodes.

[whipsnade78]

Jennifer Batten = Guitar Goddess

[lilkera95]

Michael was great friends with her..i love her and michael. my sis is learning to play guitar and i tell her everyday that i know she can do it. and one day im gonna be famous and most of my songs will have guitar solos andmy sis will play them. but anyway Mike was really felling the song i love how he ran across the stage like he was screaming (PLAIN SEXY!!!) lol ily Mike & Jen!

[cocoa8872]

That was insane....wow!!

[love17717]

Thanks Jen for standing up for MJ that stupid Jene Simmons fron KISS made alligations againts MJ.

[chechoguitar112]

being MJ's  main guitar player must be the greatest honor in the world...

[15systemofadown]

ella es grandiosa :D toca muy bien y es linda :) es simplemente fantastica ^^

[IvanMoshkov]

God isn't it great that he is dead, little boys or not.

[GordonPorter666]

i met jennifer batten yesterday she signed my belly

[dangerousvampiregirl]

@GordonPorter666  XDDD Really?And how was that?? Sounds really fun!Did you talk with her?

[ABCvitaminD]

Kids at 0:22 haha, so funny

[Throweasy03]

A sign of true greatness,Michael shared the spotlight with Jennifer Batten. Michael will be missed. He was the great one of his genre. I wonder if there will be another as talented as him in our lifetime. He is a national treasure. He lives on! Please stop the little boy comments.That is bull shit.

He was a wonderful person and proved it in court! He was never convicted of any crime. He was guilty only of being too giving,kind and the very best entertainer in US history and I'm a white guy!

[insidegoodoutsidebad]

@Throweasy03 Neither was  OJ

[Throweasy03]

@insidegoodoutsidebad OJ was a drugged out vicious murdering bitch. Don't compare OJ to MJ. One was aggressive and evil the other a gentile spirit who wouldn't hurt a fly.

[Dadsgirl240]

Wow, she's amazing!!

[hovis2]

FREAKIN AWESOME!

[VonOverlord]

I wonder if Michael got some of that?

[Iggy8173]

you FOOL!!! he only got with little boys....

[prula]

hammer!
