michael jackson's guitarist jennifer batten exclusive interview 2009

[soothingseas01]

I'll never forget seeing Jennifer in the BAD concert and she was all lit up like a Christmas tree!! It was awesome!

[yousurfer2]

a bad interviewer and you blame all brits? WTF

[lapwiz]

There's a picture of this asshole under the definition of moron in the dictionary!

Lame, lame, lame!

[lapwiz]

Too bad you're an MJ fan and not a guitar playing guitar player... fucking idiot. "Did you use the same kind of guitar"? Whatta fucking foolish bastard this douche bag is. Lame fucktard!

[lapwiz]

In the 60's people would just tell you to fuck off with your lame questions. Just go away with your lame inquiries. Can you please ask intelligent questions for fuck sakes?

[lapwiz]

This interviewer is a major drag. What a bunch of lame questions. What is wrong with you brits?

[lapwiz]

What a lame interview!



[lapwiz]

What is with the shaky video?

Was the cameraman jerking off or

what?

[thijssie1987]

interview???? this guy is talking her to death

[lapwiz]

@thijssie1987 He's just feeling the air with senseless noise. Whatta fucking retard!

[CelestialTina]

Micky, you just love hearing your own voice don't ya?

[dOnnOnOthin]

i wanna jennifer to come to malaysia so i could see her!

[Hollyhooch1]

Micky, ask your questions and let the interviewee talk.

[HINCHCLIFFE69]

Nice rack.

[odinsguitar12]

idk why but i think she is fucken hot!

[darkoanton5]

@odinsguitar12 because she's hot.

[louloutre]

@odinsguitar12 : She's hot because she's authentic. She's a true rocker, not the fake ones who thinks they only need a guitar and wild hair. It's always been a lifestyle for her: she was doing small clubs through the US, she was really serious about the music, and she was wearing crazy outfits before Gaga knew how to talk. She was magic onstage with Michael, can't compare with Orianthi. They really had a thing going on. A musical connection.

[andrewbroughton65]

I just got home from her concert tonite at g-taranaki new zealand,She was awesum !Much respect !

[mariamjfan]

Jennifer rocks !!!!

[DiegoTheCrazy]

i bet she was surprised when they hired orianthi LOL i like ori better honestly..

[GuitarLordChels]

@DiegoTheCrazy fail

[MrsJasminJackson]

I was at Jennifer's Show in Mannheim/Germany on 28th April 2010 and I had the chance to get an autograph and a photo with her afterwards! :D It was amazing to see her playing the guitar live! Somebody asked her if she could tell something of Michael and she told so much about him! :) She's a nice and funny person. I'm happy I could meet her after the show! Me and another girl stayed for 30 minutes with her! :D We could talk with her and she was so nice!

An awesome experience! Thank you Jennifer!

[LPHJHGuitar]

Michael should've gotten Jennifer, and Orianthi! That would've been epic!!! Both awesome guitarists!!

[xs4allbeenz]

Jennifer..Ur my MILF 4 Life....Cheerio

[MJGroupie]

I love the geordie guy!

[jpsmart59]

I use my balls to play my guitar, dont ask...lol

[thegtamasterfelix]

i've got an autograph from her :D

[charlieiscool1000]

wow she looks alot older she looked abit crazy during the Dangrous and History tour she was good tho she prob didnt realise that by that time they had already picked the band

[EdwardAddictOTD]

what did she mean no one's gotten a call? wat were they talkin about????

[bernhardtsen74]

About the This is It tour!

Too bad Michael died before it even started!

[mjfan5655]

@bernhardtsen74 HE DIDN JUST DIE HE WAS KILLED

[bernhardtsen74]

I read it also after I wrote that last comment!

Weird!

[bubabubaification]

dang, she's smoke'n

[domellcun]

I LOVE JENNIFER!!!! Gosh, she can kick some ass with her guitar! Like Dayum!!! She's awesome!!

[LinZeeLinuz]

or if this you? learn something and quit over talking people - u r lousy at this point.

ur one disespectful ego maniac.

[LinZeeLinuz]

for sure the interviewe doesn't stop fing talking while he is talking to her what the heck is with this dude. he says hunder words she gets ten...fire this fool,

u can tell she is toally irritated.

[rukzrox]

how old must she be now

[jusxanovaxgurl]

I think she's around 52

[fraroc]

51

not that old

[strabbs1]

this interviewer is an idiot what does he mean pull off notes?? this women is a virtuoso and hes talking about pulling of notesthat she does pull any more? she looks embaressed

[strabbs1]

nice tits and amazing guitarist

[yousurfer2]

The thisisit guitarist looked similar I guess he wanted to help a new star, but don't think she had the charisma of JB

was a bit embarrassing when he talks about how did you get the notes....move on.

[8mycrab]

She didn't get a call.

Damn it.

[Jed9133]

does she still play..on where?

[JoeKamel3]

she played in my shitty community college about 2 months ago...

[thebeanbean12]

she's AMAZING!!!!!!! :)

[javicrowley]

jennifer batten is a very good guitarrist!!!!

[lovingmichealjackson]

Jennifer isnt in This is it... Orinda or some thing she got the part.. and I was abit disappointed in the movie.. what we have seen in previews is pretty much the movie... except for thriller and earth song.. and a couple of things changed.. but Michael was wonderful... of course...

[nsam]

He's right when he said Invincible was reviewed as unsuccessful and under-rated. I really love that album

[rayluvridge]

check out a song called 'Unbecome original'

[JackyeVolkova]

Jennifer is better

i don't like orianthi

Miss Mj

[PunisherFromTheHell]

she was romanian

[broasca]

No, she's not. I would've known by now if she was.

[karenrenford]

I wonder if she's said anything since his death. He seemed to always hav fun performing with her on stage. She's a very good guitarist.

[Transatlanticism1]

She had talked about him quite alot since his death, mainly on her Twitter. The basic summary of it was that Michael was an amazing person, how she hates all these people coming on TV acting like they were his best friends and that they are just vultures after fame, and how much she likes Orianthi, who was the guitarist on This Is It.

[Za7a7aZ]

There was this last rehearsal of MJ and this other chick was playing guitar...I think they both missed the gig.

[buzzialdrin]

See what she said 50 shows in one place is like a paid vacation. People said it was too many shows...it was not because they were not back to back.

[MyKiCkNtOoNiE]

And they were in one place.

[markaecuevas7]

I agree, Jennifer Batten, Don Boyette, Greg Phillinganes, Ricky Lawson, Dorian Holley, Siedah Garrett, they were great musicians & Greg is a great musical Director

[ghostinthefog1666]

that clip from the rehearsals wasnt her. the woman with the big bleach blonde hair? i thought it was her.

[Inquiry4Equanimity]

I LOVE JENNIFER BATTEN!

[pobhockle]

Good interview, man :)

[GFVGDH]

She's a very very excellent musician !

[nymamii]

I love her energy when she plays onstage, its great

[foxzred]

Jennifer is a better guitarist than the girl that was to join Michael on his last tour but I guest he wanted someone younger this time. Still, Jennifer Rocks! She did the BAD Tour with Mike. DIRTY DIANA!

[blazinfuture]

Yeah she did BAD and Dangerous tour with M.J.

[mynameisbabyblue]

and history tour too!

[diCapo1983]

@foxzred Not just the Bad Tour, she did the Dangerous and History tour also.. I do understand MJ's choice to work with a new generation to make she shows look more dynamic

[MyKiCkNtOoNiE]

Michael Jackson liked her?????? WHY!!!!

[hbombstatic]

have you heard/seen her play?? she's amazing!

[MyKiCkNtOoNiE]

NO not as a guitarist. I mean he liked her as in wanted to date her. I love how she plays, seen her on stage and everything. But hard to picture her dating Michael.

[Za7a7aZ]

Well nothing will surprise me now I know that MJ dated this Rowe woman..man she is ugly.

[MyKiCkNtOoNiE]

LMAO. She was kind of pretty before. Even so, she has some pretty children.

[spacerocker]

Why not.

[Pllm30]

Jennifer's so disappointed that MJ didn't call her that she starts to zone out of this interview by 1:55. I wouldn't been hurt to having been dissed by MJ for a younger woman guitarist.

[Pllm30]

typo sorry: I WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT TOO!!!!!

[Tholstrup83]

Does anyone know if it was Batten or Orianthi that played at the memorial?

[musiccher1]

I went back and looked at the memorial and it looks like it was Orianthi that played at the memorial.

[MrsMJ2007]

Actually, I was surprised that he didn't call some of his old musicians myself. I guess he wanted to start fresh.

[rochellio1]

i come from the netherlands but i understand everything of it ,

[sagitaritor]

this guy accent come from MARS

[graciana83]

i am really still sad about mike's passing away that i can't bring myself to open you tube,but then today i decided to look at my love again,and here you are with your comment,you just made me smile and laugh! thanks a lot :)

[sagitaritor]

you have a nice day, and take care.

[thebagy]

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!! I love it!!

[TICETOCAR]

couldn't understand 1 word of the guy who was interviewing... subtitles please? lol

[shariotoflove]

lol that is a Newcastle accent, a UK city...we struggle to undrestand it here in UK too

[WholeLottaGlen]

After reveiwing her work , Jennfier Batten still smokes her ass my mistake!

[WholeLottaGlen]

Orianthi is her name and holy fuck shes nasty.. more nasty then Jen unreal!

[Dinosaurio9341]

the girl on the rehearsal at the staple center looks a lot younger. i don't think she got that phone call after all. not sure

[Papatorrejano]

I thought it was Batten at first. Looking on the web for confirmation.

[variopintos]

Yes is other woman, I also wonder who she is, for sure she is very good player.

[jackalooter]

yeah is it jen?

[Deke1]

the guitarist in the staples vid is Orianthi

[annalouise368]

6 f u 7 . c o m HAS the michael jackson autops y video!

YES XD?

[DarthMonkey180]

lol its a geordie interviewin her. why ay man

RIP MJ

[tirayi]

This guy is a fool.

[ljmarkum]

it amazes me, the stupidity of some of the posters on here ... Jennifer is an amazing WOMAN and incredibly talented guitarist. She toured with Jeff Beck as well. Very intelligent woman - in spite of this interviewer who doesn't do her any justice.

[slider8585]

"You had it coming" is an awesome beck album with Jennifer.

[TosiekDegutis]

@ljmarkum this interviewer never let her talk, she hardly could say a word

[vspa22]

@TosiekDegutis yeah



[derocdero]

RIP MJ!

[Cetramarius]

What is this? Sounds like some drunk irish man trying to hit on Jennifer. She looks really tired of it.

[LiSARRmcrth]

its not irish, its geordie.

[blugreen123]

I would love to see Jennifer this summer. I've been saying that since the day I found out about the comeback. Even if she doesn't do every show, I would love to see her do a few "special appearances"

[GC23furia51]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[MazterGuitarz]

Hey, respect...!!!

This person (women,man, doesn't really matter) is one off the best guitarists!!!

Love ya'JB, still the most talented, technical,(beautiful), groovy guitarists from the latest decade,

Hope you'll bring us some more genious g-play!

[WoutOr87]

am i understunding it correct that she's a shemale or something? im confused i thought his guitarplayer was a guy???

[fanofmussic]

yes she was 3 times

[dancinmachin7]

hasn't she been on tour with michael 3 times

[Landesko]

yeah, it was the Bad, Dangerous, and History Tour.  But she was replaced a few times during the History Tour for some reason

[Mamechi123]

i remember when i was little i wanted to be her when i grow up :)

[mickyquinn1970]

well to be honest i was really drunk and shaking a bit it was on a mobile phone by the way and yes i should have let her talk more i am gutted as there was so much more i weanted to ask her sorry but anyway i think i did okay for my very 1st interview on a nokia phone

[cchrisc23]

i want jennifer and greg phillinganes back!

[kbstarr]

yes, I want Greg Philinganes too !!!!!!!!!!!!

[kbstarr]

I can't imagine the 50 shows in O2 Arena without Jennifer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[threat20]

I think it would be cool to see at lest SOME of the old band, esp. Jennifer. To the interviewer... if your gonna interview her steady the camera and let her do more of the talking.

[CMStrike316]

MJ should ask Marty Friedman! That would be sick. But Jennifer would be cool to see too, for the nostalgia.

[PatrickS77]

Yeah, it would be great if he would get the "old" band back, including Jennifer!

[wicklahgirl]

I'm praying that Jennifer is in the new tour!!!!!!! Actually I can't see how they're gonna do it without her.

[Miatwymmf]

Thanks for posting =)

[sophiemj]

I love Jennifer she is suck a great guitarist !

[dalihendrix]

smoke and mirrors is right...tape. lip sing and music taped.

[shauny08]

what?

[dmehta]

the music was always live.

[cchrisc23]

not ALWAYS. certainly the majority of the time. musical elements of tdcau and sim on the history tour definitely not live.

[forevernever07]

jennifer batten? come on dont relive the past

[gwt3009]

WOW!! Jennifer is a Brilliant performer on the guitar...she has just been at our towns local CUSTOMS HOUSE theatre for one night 16th March and I do regret not getting a ticket now...Hope we see her at the o2 August 28th..roll on...
