ACCORDING TO YOU

Australian-born Orianthi wants to inspire America's young women to put down their cell phones and pick up guitars. As the guitarist for Michael Jackson's final tour, the 24-year-old followed in the footsteps of Eddie Van Halen and Jennifer Batten in working with the late legend. But as the video for 'According to You' -- from her forthcoming album, 'Believe' -- proves, Orianthi is ready to break out on her own. "'According to You' is a pop song but I think the lyrics will really connect with a lot of young girls," Orianthi tells PopEater. "It will make them feel good about themselves. It's really empowering and it connects with a lot of people as it's about leaving a bad situation and moving on to a better one. It's not a negative song. I thought that lyric would be great and then rocking it with the music and adding a guitar solo."
