So I had to watch this on Netflix even though I had no idea who David Foster is because my name is also David Foster, Lol. Well, I found out that David Foster is a pretty big jerk who has hurt every woman he ever married and every child he ever had, yet because he's a big-time music producer, he has an enormous ego and seems to have never grown up. This piece was clearly a promotional piece that he had a hand in. He may not be credited as a producer on the project, but it's not hard to see that he was pulling the strings. Just a weird, congratulatory piece...

Congratulatory Fluff Piece
Loved it! Watched it twice in 2 days!
Ok David Foster is arrogant. Yep he's not a great father and he's been a TERRIBLE husband. BUT he is a musical genius! You cannot deny that. How strange that viewers stopped watching because they thought he was too arrogant?! I did not watch the doco to see a humble man...I watched it to see the life story of a musical genius, and I loved it! His life is absolutely fascinating. I took a walk through my childhood as I listened to the songs he has produced. I forgot just how amazing Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You is... And to hear how it was created is phenomenal. The doco was made extremely well, interwining the music David created with the story of his life. Interviews by the people he "found" and worked with was also fascinating.
I loved this documentary and highly recommend. Don't go in there expecting to see a humble man. Go in there with the expectation only of looking at one man's life and the music he made. You will not be disappointed!
Hmmm
I'm torn. Love his music, but this dude is a HOT MESS.
