Her name might sound unfamiliar, but you likely know Orianthi as the artist behind the pop hit “According to You.”

Orianthi, who performed on Wednesday’s “American Idol” results show, was also Michael Jackson’s guitarist and appeared on Jackson’s televised memorial service.

The Australian artist attracted fans when she played guitar for Carrie Underwood’s “Last Name” at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Ryan chats with her for a bit about her Grammy performance and her audition for Michael Jackson’s band. “My hands were sweaty,” Orianthi says, adding that it was amazing, “a dream come true,” getting to work with Michael for that brief time before his death.
