This matches what was said in the documentary. Not sure why some fans are upset about this. Michael never claimed sole credit for creating WATW.

It's just a little addition of MJ's side of the story because sadly he could't be there to be interviewed for the documentary. And yeah, it matches what was said in the documentary and I don't think it was meant as a rebuttal. Just an addition of MJ's own words and memories.

Well some fans claim that Michael pretty much single-handedly wrote the song because his demo is almost identical to the final version. But here Michael explains that he recorded his demo after the writing session with Lionel and he included Lionel's contribution in his demo. And he wouldn't be involved with this project at all if it weren't for Quincy. I don't think that was meant as a rebuttal either. It's just nice to know that Michael's side was accurately reflected for once

Yes I know that, but I don’t have it anymore, though the satellite picks up some Netflix shows I hope you get to watch it. I can’t watch it until the weekend as I’m in Ireland and can’t watch it without my wife. 😂

Nice words from Huey. I didn’t know that he suffers from hearing loss.

Kinda irksome seeing all the comments on X slagging off the song. We Are The World is such an easy target, but I don't care what anyone says, it's a beautiful composition. No other artist at that time could've pulled off such a feat, uniting artists from across multiple genres and styles the way MJ and Quincy did. It's a testament to his starpower and the respect both he and Q had in the industry at the time that such a feat was pulled off in the first place.

^^^ I don’t think they would be able to pull that off today. Can you imagine a pop star without their entourage and no guarantee of a solo? No approval of the final cut or video?
I loved how Diana Ross wore her cheesy T shirt over her clothes. She seemed like she enjoyed it the most.

I think slagging off WATW has always been another way of playing the cool kid.
Billie Jean or Wanna Be Starting Something are obviously superior songs, but they wouldn't work for such a project. You have to have a certain type of song for such a project: melodic, anthem-like, easy to sing along and accessible to a wide range of people from kids to grandmothers. I think WATW is perfect for what it is. I have seen Prince fans say 4 the Tears in Your Eyes is a better song, but I don't think so. It also wouldn't work for what WATW was intended for. Another line of slagging off the song is "Do They Know it's Christmas" is better. Again, I disagree and I especially "like" it when the same people who bash WATW as cheesy and self indulgent don't find the same faults in Do They Know. Again, I feel a lot of the WATW slander is just snobbery.
Over the years there have been a lot of similar projects, but can anyone show me any other charity song that stuck in the minds and hearts of people the same way as WATW? Me neither.
