playing a hit is one thing, it's the versatility of being able to play what talent requires is the real talent. Chops and looks are just a very small part of the package. What about the grueling tour schedule, the prima donnas, the dedication to music itself... man, tough crowd.
well shes trying to cook up something that can be a hit, does.t mean she can't do better, even the greatest chefs will put burgers on thier menus cuz they sell.
does everyone realize that the tempo a bit slower than other show that orianthi had, but maybe i'm just imagining thing, but still a great show she threw
No to take anything away from Orianthi...good player and decent single....BUT NOT A PIONEER.
A PIONEER is female guitarist Ronni Crooks who looked, played and sang every bit as good THIRY YEARS EARLIER and just died on New Years. More at RonniCrooks com
Some moron has to compare her to sweet child o mine..Let me tell ya , guns and roses has nothing on this girl..Alot of big time guitarists have nothing on this girl..You know who you are too....
@LoveTribeRocks Haha totally disagree with you. I dont think shes ugly but i dont find her very attractive, I just like her guitar playing and for that alone I give her the time of day.
Ugh. It's happened again. Someone with real talent gets stuck playing this poppy crap that sounds like every other song on the radio. Painful. Everything is just a power cord with the same progression as every song out there.
@TheEricBooth yeah but if you listen to Orianthi's other stuff, she's a real rocker. she's a very talented guitarist, and the stuff she did with Steve Vai shows that. She probably played this on americal idol because it's a mainstream show so she played something that everyone will like.
cute - really good voice for this pop/rock rock style and this girl can really play -but the tone is awful (put some mids in there!) and the solo was absolutely minging.
@BekkersBelly Being able to sing better than Lita Ford is not an achievement. Lita couldn't even sing in tune in the studio, let alone in concert, she should've stuck to guitar. But,... Lita wrote much better songs than Orianthi, so I would still rather listen to Lita singing her own songs badly than listen to Orianthi sing Avril Lavigne style songs badly.
@danbb1984 It just amazes me how people who probably can't sing a note or who never played an instrument in their lives can become such uninformed critics about something they know nothing about. Orianthi has already been called one of the three greatest female guitarists on the planet by well known musicians in the industry and has already won awards for singing, songwriting,and composing.
@MrJas2241 So basically you're saying a movie critic is not allowed to have a negative opinion about somebody's acting if he's not an accomplished actor himself? As for winning awards, good for her but U2 win awards all the time, does that make them the best band ever? I think not.
@Dkiller707 She's not playing lead guitar while singing. You obviously don't know what lead guitar means. She's playing simple rhythm guitar chords while singing, then she stops singing to play lead guitar.
@danbb1984 as a guitarist myself i know full well what lead guitar is. what shes doing is more Lead/Rhythm guitar type stuff, then she breaks to play a small solo, so its still lead guitar, plenty of lead guitarists play RHYTHM segments as well. when you know what your talking about get back to me, k thanks.
@Dkiller707 As a guitarist yourself, you have no excuse for thinking Orianthi is playing a solo whilst simultaenously singing. There is no part of this song where she is playing a solo at the same time as singing.
@MrJas2241 Yes, because the 'industry' is a great benchmark for judging real talent. This is the same industry that in other places calls Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Nicky Minaj incredibly talented artists. Being called one of the 3 greatest is such an arbitrary and narrow title in any case. There are thousands of female players-- i guarantee you can fin 10 better ones on YouTube alone.
Never confuse popularity with skill-- although she is pretty talented. Just over rated.

@MrJas2241 One thing for sure. Her guitar isn't a prop. I don't believe there such a thing as the best guitarist, male or female. She is a very good guitar player with a great voice, and she is hot. She is top level talent period. Most of the people being critical about her playing probably couldn't make the cut to get into a high school garage band.
@MrJas2241 All your arguments belong to showbiz, not music/art. Magazines' top 10 guitarists, tvshows, awards... all that shit has NOTHING to do with objective judgement. It's advertising, teasing, communication, all that in order to make you buy a disc and go to a concert. She's young and plays guitar pretty good, like hundreds of girls on YT. Overrated guitarist though.
I've never seen this girl play anything other than little pentatonic hammer on solos... do you realize how easy it is to play that stuff? I guess not since you think she is one of the three greatest female guitarists on the planet....
Truth be told, if she was a guy she wouldn't be where she is today. I don't want to be mean or anything but I'm sick of the mainstream consciousness having no clue about music.
@danbb1984 first of all, she can sing, its not like its impossible for a singer to have an off night. also, shes playing lead guitar WHILE singing, not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination. also, at least she doesnt fake it w backing tracks and lip synching like all the trashy pop / hip hop no talent hacks we have to deal w these days. and finally, she writes her own material and plays it herself, thats not exactly something you see every day anymore, so quit griping and enjoy the show
I dont watch idol. How much of a chance did that audience give her?
From the examples of critical comments coming from the insecure posters, i'd doubt they were fair.
It should be a given that if a good female guitarist wasn't pretty, they'd still need to search for an unreasonable critique for why she's getting the attention she deserves. Did someone really say she had a big nose"? Wow!
(Let go of your weenie when you say stuff like that - things are gonna be alright. You'll see ;-)

@ZetaLegend If you knew how to play guitar and sing you would know how hot you get, it like running in place, you will start to sweat. The fans are really to keep her cool.
To be honest, we could sit here and bash her and her skills all day, but she is on tv playing music she wrote and loves, while we are all sitting behind our computer screens doing FA, fair play to her for making a career out of it. And she may be singing a bit out sometimes, but most people wouldnt sing at all if they had an audience of however many millions of people watch the program.
@Jocke337 Not saying it makes her any better but Steve Vai thinks she's good enough to do a collaboration with her. She by no means steps to Vai but she isn't bad at guitar either.
@ddavel5441 Nah man,just nah.She is nowhere being called "one of the best",even if we are talking about females only.I like her voice over her guitar playing,kinda liked the fact she isnt mainstream and all,but yeah nowhere near a virtuoso level guitar player.
tallent insnt in question but shes a statue against the microphone ... yawns boring ..... ohh hang on i saw her move .............ohh no she did a bow after
I'm not a pop music fan, but this tune is kind of catchy. Orianthi blows the doors off other manufactured female pop stars with no talent but the ability to be shocking with their fashion statements.
oh wow! i didn't know she could sing! i thought it was just guitar,she's amazing <3 haterz go away she has worked with the biggest artists out there she's great keep it up girl:) <3
@mattyoz0 Hey smegma breath, you think thats a big nose? shit shes got a bit of a bump in it, she greek, you retard, but its not big.
I hope when you lose your virginity, the ugly prostitute you fuck is as critical about your tiny weener , as you are about Orianthi nose, you pathetic pedantic little fapper! As if you'd knock back Orinathi becos of her nose?? WANKER!!!
@mattyoz0 50mm? So no doubt you told your girlfriend you had an ten inch cock too? I guess her diappointment was palpable when she discovered your penchant for grossly overstating the truth. GAYLORD!
Extremely similar song when compared to other songs of similar type... shes an excellent guitariest but i prefer her song "Suffocated" which is actually original. She needs to get out of pop though :s
I don't watch American Idol, but if Orianthi was able to penetrate the membrane between unknown and recognition, then more power to her. She has the chops, talent, and the ultimate ability to break the big time. Songwriting skills will ultimately determine this.
Guys pop songs pay for mansions lol! solos are great, and me being a guitar player, i love to play them, but without this then she would just be just like all the other people who sit on there beds and do covers and lessons! broke!
A waste of talent is the great musician who can't the needle out of his/her arm or their head out of the bottle. Whether she plays pop,rap,metal,rock,country or whatever the girl is good, real good. Good role model who doesn't have to flash her tits or her ass to get noticed, can write her own songs and just scored a gig with Alice Cooper. I wish I had that much drive when I was her age. She might be a pioneer to a 10 year old girl seeing her for the first time.
Shes doing pop to get young girls into playing guitar you all you guys who think shes wasting her potential can pull your head out of your assholes because pop isnt all shes doing. Yes she can do a lot more and she does. You just havnt payed any attention.
@music87wch Ignore those punks they'll never understand a female musician. Besides she's included in my Guitar Queen video series and the views are huge.
@Quontomleeeep You spelled ass wrong. She is a great guitarist. She opened for people like Carlos Santana when she was 15 and she was supposed to play for Michael Jackson. American Idol has no effect on her playing. How would it?
@music87wch "American Idol has no effect on her playing. How would it?"
I'm not sure but considering you brought up that irrelevancy( "American Idol is shit "), I thought you must have known ? Well then if idols not to blame she must just generally suk arse then ... That's arse as in arsehole or in your case, the orifice from which you speak ,if that makes it any clearer LOL ....

It is one of music's great challenges, how can you integrate punchy rock guitar with songs and vocals.
Guys like Satriani don't even try.
A lot of band's wish they they had a guitarist half as good as her.
Rock is at it's best when it all comes together, like
Led Zeppelin.

To be honest, we could sit here and bash her and her skills all day, but she is on tv playing music she wrote and loves, while we are all sitting behind our computer screens doing FA, fair play to her for making a career out of it. And she may be singing a bit out sometimes, but most people wouldnt sing at all if they had an audience of however many millions of people watch the program.

@ddavel5441 Being able to do a few simple pentatonic blues licks doesn't make her a good guitarist and far from one of the best in the world.

@Jocke337 Not saying it makes her any better but Steve Vai thinks she's good enough to do a collaboration with her. She by no means steps to Vai but she isn't bad at guitar either.

@ddavel5441 Nah man,just nah.She is nowhere being called "one of the best",even if we are talking about females only.I like her voice over her guitar playing,kinda liked the fact she isnt mainstream and all,but yeah nowhere near a virtuoso level guitar player.

I'm not a pop music fan, but this tune is kind of catchy. Orianthi blows the doors off other manufactured female pop stars with no talent but the ability to be shocking with their fashion statements.

I don't watch American Idol, but if Orianthi was able to penetrate the membrane between unknown and recognition, then more power to her. She has the chops, talent, and the ultimate ability to break the big time. Songwriting skills will ultimately determine this.

A waste of talent is the great musician who can't the needle out of his/her arm or their head out of the bottle. Whether she plays pop,rap,metal,rock,country or whatever the girl is good, real good. Good role model who doesn't have to flash her tits or her ass to get noticed, can write her own songs and just scored a gig with Alice Cooper. I wish I had that much drive when I was her age. She might be a pioneer to a 10 year old girl seeing her for the first time.

Does she really have to 'tap' in every solo she does? That is not a key aspect of being a decent guitarist. Less tapping, more technique.

Shes doing pop to get young girls into playing guitar you all you guys who think shes wasting her potential can pull your head out of your assholes because pop isnt all shes doing. Yes she can do a lot more and she does. You just havnt payed any attention.
