My reaction to The Greatest Night In Pop

- The documentary was great 10/10.
- It gets into how the song was created, the funny stories and the way it was done.
- Harry Belanfonte was a true superhero.
- Michael's creative genius and how he operates truly shines in the documentary.
- Gets into how the artists got their solo parts in the song.
- It shows how the song and video for the song was made
- The impact the song made on the world.
- The documentary is a must watch for all music fans.
- The documentary is still doing well on Netflix.









What Michael stated about WATW in Moonwalk? Pages 262-263.

Comparing Thriller 40 to The Greatest Night In Pop
- Nelson George barely promoted Thriller 40 whereas Bao Nguyen was everywhere promoting the documentary.
- Nguyen did not want the mainstream media (msm) to dwell on the nonsense regarding Michael (more like the lies) but instead focus on Michael's genius. George always made sure anytime he would talk about Michael to bash him. 
- The documentary TGNIP was seen everywhere and people had no trouble accessing the documentary. That was not the same for Thriller 40

The song started Michael's music reign writing humanitarian type of songs throughout his career.
