Desiree is too modest. She is one of the Best Guitarist I'v seen play live. Better than Eddie Van Halen in his prime!

[LadyRedRocker2]

@StanHasselback You got that right. I would love to see her on stage with Eddie Van Halen. She would smoke him right off the stage! :o)

Desiree is the most entertaining and inspiring musician I have seen in a long time.

TheGreatToopi I have to completely disagree with you dude. I'm 53 and have seen many great guitarist play and Desiree has earned her place. The MJ show is great and Desiree, well I can't imagine anyone else being the lead, she that good. I'm just a fan......
