there are two things in the music business before Thriller and after Thriller Thriller set the standard of what it was to be a mega star Michael had such a Clear Vision of what he wanted he was determined to change the way he was perceived I came in angry he was a perfectionist I wanted the best I look in the mirror I say biggest s an album of all time the greatest thing is do what the music tells them to do everybody waiting to see the next big white Jackson album as a matter of fact I asked wh

“There are two things in the music business, before thriller and after thriller” I’m Proud to be a fan of Michael Jackson! Forever the king of pop! Forever the greatest of all time!
I could cry, i want to see this so bad
“If Thriller came out today it would still be the greatest album ever made.” Those are facts!
One thing that has proven why MJ is the greatest of all time is that he was known worldwide before the internet became a thing. Imagine that. No Facebook, no YouTube, nothin', and yet he was known. According to my dad, the first time Thriller was on television everything stopped.
Michael Jackson as an artist is finally being talked about, how Thriller raised the bar for the recording industry. The greatest artist finally, gets the proper attention he deserves.
Honestly, there's no comparison with the Thriller album. The genius, patients, beat, frequencies... The universe itself slowed down when this album was being created. 👑 FOREVER Michael Jackson.
Music is split between pre MJ and post MJ. His influence is the ultimate blueprint to musical pop culture. Period…
I remember watching the Bad 25 documentary back in 2012 and coming to understand just how influential and iconic MJ was. I love that these specials keep happening to reintroduce his music to new generations. A great way to preserve his legacy.
There has never been another born performer like Michael Jackson! I’ll never forget seeing him & the Jackson Five on tv for the first time. I thought to myself, where did this little kid with a HUGE talent come from? He was the youngest in the band, but he made the band! He had so much charisma with his fly dance moves & a killer voice. He looked so at ease, as if he had years of experience performing. He went on to take the world by storm. There has never been another MJ and there never will be! His passing was an extreme loss for the music and dance community. We will always remember him for his groundbreaking talent.😔
I wore this album OUT back in the 80's. I'm surprised MTV didn't crash from all the times his videos ran from this album. Best of all time, period.
I bought this album the day it was released. It was quite an event - can’t believe it was 40 years ago. Damn I’m old 😂. Went to see MJ at Wembley in 1997. Mind blowing.
Lowkey wish this was in theaters so we could feel that chaos again, the tickets selling out, the rush of fans in the theatre rooms, the screaming people when they show performance clips — that would’ve been like reliving it
This documentary is going to remind the world as to how much of a genius this man truly was and why he will FOREVER reign as the undisputed King of Pop, I can’t wait! 👑✨
Every song on the album was a hit. Almost no artist can say that, but MJ could.
Honestly... I NEVER thought about what Will I. Am said... " if the Thriller album came out today it would still become the biggest selling album of all time" and hell.. That's so freaking right! That's insane to think about how great that album is. Top notch quality and creativity all around... a masterpiece.
Nobody is on Mike’s level!!! It’s insane that he did Thriller & followed it up with Bad which is a beast of its own! Bow Down
I literally CANNOT WAIT!!! The great album in music history FINALLY gets a proper documentary, and I’m here for it.
Wow here I am at 42 years of age and still get chills and goosebumps whenever I see MJ with that black jacket and infamous glove and hat moonwalk across the stage at Motown. RIP to the GOAT Of Entertainment.
Can you imagine if Michael did go on the thriller tour!? Oh that would've been simply historic!!!
This Is one of those "you gotta be a certain age to understand" things. I was there. I understand. Thriller stopped everything else. A damn near flawless album.
