Fun fact. The word "Stan" which gets used around the World by many people didnt exist before this. Eminem created it since the Obsessed Fans name in this video is called "Stanley". Stan today is a Term used by people to call themselves an Obsessed or Ultimate Fan. Eminems Fanbase also gets called "Stans".
@@intello8953 Nope. The word didnt exist. An Obsessed Fan was called an Obsessed Fan. There was no word for it. And because of Eminems Huge Impact it became one
At the end of the end of the video when em says "Come to think of it, it was you, damn", lighting strikes and you can see Stans face as a reflection in the window!!!! Love your reactions videos
Em's storytelling is masterful. Clean versions really take away from that. But man, hes just got a way about him, a true artist. He evokes emotions in a way a lot of artists in todays industrialized entertainment industry just cant.
You should listen to the dirty version. When it comes to Eminem always listen to the dirty version to get the full meaning. Love the reactions keep them coming!
No it is not ironic. The word dirty is actually not a right word to use in this context. I wouldn't call what Eminem says dirty at least. It is harsh, it is rough, but it's not dirty. If you wanna call reality dirty, you do you.@@erikahutchcraft1742
The lady who plays his pregnant girlfriend is an English singer-songwriter, Dido, the hook she is singing is originally her song called Thankyou and when Eminem heard the track he knew he wanted to turn this song into something dark and genius
The genre and the hyper-violent "Slim Shady" persona he uses, does not lend itself to clean or censored versions. Highly suggest avoiding. Also, missing context. Rewatch the dirty/long version after watchinng "Kim" & "97 Bonnie & Clyde" and it will hit different.
The first time I saw this was back in high school I know it hurts but it actually really hurts seeing somebody all these years later still getting hurt by these really powerful lyrics but she does an amazing job reacting the same way we do
Always enjoy seeing people discovering how amazing and incredible Eminem actually is. Me being a fan since the beginning it warms my heart when you said Eminem I love you but didn't think you'd ever say that. Haters say Eminem just Rymes words doesn't have content. He's actually the best hiphop writer in history might not be relatable to everyone but it's relatable to millions around the world why he's the best selling artist of this century. Eminem makes you listen to him that's the difference between him and all other rappers. Stan actually is the word fandoms use now to subscribe their celebrity obsession. Allot of younger kids don't even know Eminem coined that word. Also Stan was added to the Webster dictionary as a person who is obsessed a celebrity. Pretty amazing. As far as songs to react to since your on a deep feeling Eminem trip. My vote would be probably a song you heard Love The Way You Lie. Or Not Afraid.
1. Great, very great reaction... your feelings seem to be honest, and I very rarely saw another reactor that was captured into the story like you... 👍 👌 2.Would love it if you could react to the song "The way I am" next!!! 3. Can you please do me a favor and never EVER again do a clean or censored version of an Em song? It just cuts out too much of the flow and the schemes and the emotions that were supposed to be expressed with each syllable... I mean, the Stan rides the car and records the letter on the tape situation? The delivery and the mount of effort he puts in those swearwords describe the whole mental and emotional set of Stan in that moment, and because she can hear what he's talking she panics even more in the trunk, begins to scream and from that scream comes the fantastic interaction from stan, jelling at her to shut up b..ch I'm trying to talk.. hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming from the trunk, etc. Censoring it destroys the whole genius of the situation Em created there... a song is just supposed to be received to the ears the exact same way an artist has created it...
the utter shock of this song, all these years gone by, still the same. the uncensored lyrics would really piece everything together but yet, one gets the idea. I feel lucky to have found this channel in such an early stage. I've got some recommendations for later: Tommy Vext's covers (also his former band's, Bad Wolves, cover of Zombie by the Cranberries) the bands First to Eleven, Jinjer (especially the song "Pisces" to start ), Alter Bridge (i leave that pick to you, since they've got a huge amount of good material) and Foo Fighters (feat shane hawkins) rendition of "my hero". Looking forward to your next video!
Hi Kate! I’m really loving your Eminem reaction videos so far. Stan still gives me chills. I’ve been listening to him since 1997, yes I’m that old lol. Please make sure you listen to all the uncensored versions of his songs, even if not on camera. Sometime you just need to pull up a lyric video instead of the official music video. Keep up the great work, you are really “chill” 😉
Damn, the fact you needed time to process the song at the end says alot! I sarted listening eminem at 7 yr old and i feel like his song teach me alot of thing about life, its not even about music at this point, its about elevating your mind
Definitely do "Bad Guy" next , it's a sequel to stan and it's amazing Also if you like deep Eminem songs do "Castle" and "Arose" together first do Castle and then arose but definitely do them together they are amazing Also "Headlights" is great because it's about his mother but years after cleaning out my closet and a different perspective on life One last thing please if you can listen to the uncensored versions of Em songs, with the censored versions you might lose some of the best bits of the song Thanks for great reactions
Before the song "Stan" the word "Stan" was only a male name. But because of EM Stan has become a noun which describes a fan stalking a musician or a fan stalking someone else and the noun "Stan" has been added to the American English dictionary.
Devon Sawa plays Stan. He's most notable for Final Destination, but was also in Casper, Now and Then, Little Giants, SLC! Punk, Wild America, Idle Hands, Slackers, and is currently on the Chucky tv series where he's played multiple characters.
Awesome reaction! Thank you very much. I watched this video with subtitles on MTV when I was still at university, and I was just shocked by this story. I had the feeling that I had watched a short psychological thriller or drama, and then I was very impressed for a very long time. I understand you very much when you saw it for the first time.
You really should listen to the uncensored song, at least on your own time! You probably can figure the tragic details the censorship hides, but still...
God the twist at the end when he realises he’s writing a letter to a dead fan. 💔 His story telling in a few minutes is more powerful than people can do with hours in movies.
Love that your loving em. He is the GOAT of lyrics across any genre of music. Halies song is good if wanna hear em sing. If u wanna giggle then listen to some of his Diss tracks. Killshot, the warning, hail Mary with busta and 50. Also listen to patientlley waiting, renegade, bully, Kings never die is lyrical genius at its best.
I love your reactions s much as i love eminem...you were just original. the same way i was when i listened to it when i was 14. Love you, truly, to a mother of two.
With the way u absorb the music intuitively and connect to lyrics, Nightwish, Iron Maiden, and Sabaton, while,and Sabbath/Dio worth your exploration...
Hey. I really enjoy how emotional you are. I'm too. Usually emotions for me is music only, rarely the song but sometimes there's a song that makes me feel emotional and this is one of them.
That's the main actor for Final Destination 1 in this video. That's why Em had him act this out for him because Em loved his acting in Final Destination
you should do "Bad Guy" while this is fresh in your mind, it is the sequel to Stan which Eminem wrote years later for his MMLP2 album. There is no music video though.
Eminem’s 2000 smash-hit “Stan” was not based on a real person. However, the song, which tells the story of an obsessed fan who kills himself and his girlfriend after Eminem fails to respond to his letters, was inspired by the rapper’s real experiences. After receiving disturbing fan mail in response to his sophomore album, The Slim Shady LP, Eminem wrote the track as a “message to fans” not to take his lyrics literally. The Dido-sampling song became a career-defining hit and the term “stan” became an official addition to the Oxford English Dictionary.
This is now my favorite reaction ever, the amount of honesty and how you delge into his music is refreshing to see from a fan point - took me back to when I 1st listened to Stan .
Em actually said that this song is a combination of multiple real stories.. also a small tip, avoid censored versions especially when it comes to eminem, they cut quite a lot of important details when it comes to his stories
Some producer played a sample of Dido and em was like I need this and he sent dido the song and she immediately requested that they make a video for it because it moved her sm
First of all, I want to say something to you lady ! . The way you react with all these emotions, I just wanna hug you like I know you so long, so gently with all the respect . You are such a human and very beautiful lady.. God bless you and plus your kids, I heard you say you have a kids so may God give them whatever they want in life ❤
If you really want to get chills and have your hair stand on the back of your neck ready to dance with the devil by immortal technique it gave me chills and made me tear up the ending is shocking.
Just subscribed. I hope you go deep into the Eminem rabbit hole. He can go from what feels like a brutal horror movie one song and then amusing with outlandish tongue and cheek lines on the next. But what I, and many others love about him is his ability to be transparent and show raw emotion in his music. When he wants to be, he is an amazing storyteller. His skill in terms of rapping is obviously great, but his songwriting and his versatility as an artist is to me what makes him one of a kind.
This song takes me back. Forget the genesis of the word Stan that we use to this day, I'd like to highlight another word, a word that didn't make it out of the 2000s, thank god. 3:07 There it is! Before "Lit" we had "Phat." I still laugh about it, and I love that Eminem used that in Stan's letter, it's so emblematic of the times and how we used to speak as teenagers.
Ok here are a few absolute must listen to. Beautiful, till I collapse, loose yourself, toy soldiers. Honestly there are dozens that's just a few on the other side of the spectrum here is a few you could try that may not get as much attention as the others. Monster, the way you lie, legacy, space bound, survival. Just to name a few.
So the reason he wrote this wasn't because it happened but because he wanted the audience A: know what it's like to be the fan B: to know what it's like to be the artist C: to feel what it's like to be the person on the outside looking in. All 3 in 1 so by the time you finish hearing it you're in some way emotion connected to the song. And that is how clever Eminem is. Also the guy playing Stan is the lead actor for Final destination 1
You need to listen to 97' Bonnie and Clyde it's part of a trilogy of Eminem songs that are linked together. I also recommend the Eminem song Kim as it is so haunting when you understand what the song is about. A warning Kim is a brutal dark and horrific piece of storytelling.
Don't know if anyone pointed it out but the last bar "come to think about it, it was you." Stans reflection can be seen in the window when the lighting strikes, looking in on Em writing the letter.
Please don't react to the censored version. They cut out a lot
Specially when its "eminem" or any hiphop stuff
2nd that, the No. 1 Rule when reacting to Eminem, UNCENSORED only.
Facts!
Eminem cannot exist within censorship. One of the reasons we have an affinity for him.
If you were going to see Michaelangelo’s David, would you ask them to cover the genitals?
Long version is much better! Theyve cut out so many graphic lines that adds to the story
yeah it ruins the whole track
lol there are 10 second gaps, are they cutting out the part where he says he put his wife in his trunk
@@jacksquat7850well the clown that requested this should have known better and specified that she should listen to the uncensored version
Fun fact. The word "Stan" which gets used around the World by many people didnt exist before this.
Eminem created it since the Obsessed Fans name in this video is called "Stanley".
Stan today is a Term used by people to call themselves an Obsessed or Ultimate Fan.
Eminems Fanbase also gets called "Stans".
Wow I wonder what was used before “Stan”? I’m sure there was a slang word that was used for a obsessed fan?
@@intello8953 Nope. The word didnt exist. An Obsessed Fan was called an Obsessed Fan.
There was no word for it. And because of Eminems Huge Impact it became one
It’s also now in the Webster dictionary
@@zcany it already existed in the African American community I think
@@kurzedificio What 😂😂 no it did not.
You missed all the important parts if you hear the "clean" version! this song must be listened only the uncensored version
The song “Stan” will always be a legendary song from Em. It genuinely shows the level of genius from him.
Genius indeed ❤❤❤
At the end of the end of the video when em says "Come to think of it, it was you, damn", lighting strikes and you can see Stans face as a reflection in the window!!!! Love your reactions videos
Em's storytelling is masterful. Clean versions really take away from that. But man, hes just got a way about him, a true artist. He evokes emotions in a way a lot of artists in todays industrialized entertainment industry just cant.
its real.
You should listen to the dirty version. When it comes to Eminem always listen to the dirty version to get the full meaning. Love the reactions keep them coming!
Uncensored, not dirty...
Wow, ironic to tell someone what word to use while talking about censorship
No it is not ironic. The word dirty is actually not a right word to use in this context. I wouldn't call what Eminem says dirty at least. It is harsh, it is rough, but it's not dirty. If you wanna call reality dirty, you do you.@@erikahutchcraft1742
Thats why we call him one of the best rapers of all time...with tupac ..they dont just rap..they tell stories with meaning
you mean rapper's
@@satanonfire666i hope he did hahahahah
He didn’t just spell the word rapper and leave out a “P,” did he?
The fact that over the course of 3 songs your opinion on Eminem flipped 180 degrees 🔥🔥🔥
The lady who plays his pregnant girlfriend is an English singer-songwriter, Dido, the hook she is singing is originally her song called Thankyou and when Eminem heard the track he knew he wanted to turn this song into something dark and genius
The genre and the hyper-violent "Slim Shady" persona he uses, does not lend itself to clean or censored versions. Highly suggest avoiding. Also, missing context. Rewatch the dirty/long version after watchinng "Kim" & "97 Bonnie & Clyde" and it will hit different.

Eminem has a part two to this song. "Bad Guy" Its later in his career on the Marshall Mathers LP2
Hi Kate! I’m really loving your Eminem reaction videos so far. Stan still gives me chills. I’ve been listening to him since 1997, yes I’m that old lol. Please make sure you listen to all the uncensored versions of his songs, even if not on camera. Sometime you just need to pull up a lyric video instead of the official music video.

Em’s music videos like these are like watching a whole movie in minutes 🙌🏼🐐
You can't enjoy listening to Em if it's censored
Will Smith don't have to curse to sell records... Well, he didn't write Stan. Now did he?
Love your genuine reactions
It's not though, is it?
Heard these Em songs 100s of time but you bring me back in time to before Em was the goat.
Damn, the fact you needed time to process the song at the end says alot!
I sarted listening eminem at 7 yr old and i feel like his song teach me alot of thing about life, its not even about music at this point, its about elevating your mind
Definitely do "Bad Guy" next , it's a sequel to stan and it's amazing
Also if you like deep Eminem songs do "Castle" and "Arose" together first do Castle and then arose but definitely do them together they are amazing
Also "Headlights" is great because it's about his mother but years after cleaning out my closet and a different perspective on life
One last thing please if you can listen to the uncensored versions of Em songs, with the censored versions you might lose some of the best bits of the song
Thanks for great reactions
Agreed 100%. Please do "Bad Guy." As a reactor, you are definitely in tune with the music and the feelings it gives you.

The guy who played Stan is Devon Sawa who is famous for the film Final Destination.
Yeah. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard it to. It's an absolutely insane piece of WRITING.
I really appreciate your reaction. Imagine me watching as a priest. I cried. Youve humanity and empathy to react that way.
Explicit versions are the only ones that deliver a message, when it comes to Eminem anything censored is literally the opposite of what he fights for.
Devon Sawa plays Stan. He's most notable for Final Destination, but was also in Casper, Now and Then, Little Giants, SLC! Punk, Wild America, Idle Hands, Slackers, and is currently on the Chucky tv series where he's played multiple characters.

I had the feeling that I had watched a short psychological thriller or drama, and then I was very impressed for a very long time. I understand you very much when you saw it for the first time.
honestly its not even worth listening to the clean version of songs like this. too much of the song is just not there
Facts
I love me some Kathryn reactions♥️♥️♥️♥️ur energy and ur smile are unmatched ♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘😘😘
Please react to mockingbird by eminem 😄
You really should listen to the uncensored song, at least on your own time! You probably can figure the tragic details the censorship hides, but still...
great reaction, glad i discovered your channel, subbed:)
Your husband is so lucky, obviously you're a good reactioner because of the emotions you express in your face.
This is the only song in all existence that gives me the chills. Especially at the very end. And this is coming from a long time metalhead
The long dirty version is pretty epic. Just like the geto boys this was an impactful song about true mental heath.
the reflection on the window at the end gives me chills..
God the twist at the end when he realises he’s writing a letter to a dead fan. 💔
His story telling in a few minutes is more powerful than people can do with hours in movies.

That was amazing reaction
My favorite Eminem song by far.
one of the most creative songs of all time
I don`t even know to say... )) Good job!
With the way u absorb the music intuitively and connect to lyrics, Nightwish, Iron Maiden, and Sabaton, while,and Sabbath/Dio worth your exploration...
Love watching people reacting to em and pac
This is an insane love for Eminem.
Hey. I really enjoy how emotional you are.
I'm too.
Usually emotions for me is music only, rarely the song but sometimes there's a song that makes me feel emotional and this is one of them.
That's the main actor for Final Destination 1 in this video. That's why Em had him act this out for him because Em loved his acting in Final Destination
Makes my cry every time
Yup now imagine the entire world feeling the same way after he first released the track and video 😂 talked about it for months on end lol
Yes.. Eminem is a genious
Nice reaction!
The guy who play Stan is Devon Sewa (sp?) he was in quite a few movies. The first "Final Destination" and "Idle Hands"
you should do "Bad Guy" while this is fresh in your mind, it is the sequel to Stan which Eminem wrote years later for his MMLP2 album. There is no music video though.

Yup...perfect reaction at the end
The Actor's name is Acteur name is Devon Sawa,he was in Nikita ...
Eminem is a great storyteller and I like how descriptive he is. He does get his inspiration from horror movies.
i'm a cowboy from Colorado that came upon your site. YOU are AWESOME. YOU are real. Genuine. How about Hardy " Give Heaven somw hell".
This is now my favorite reaction ever, the amount of honesty and how you delge into his music is refreshing to see from a fan point - took me back to when I 1st listened to Stan .
I subscribed to your channel because I have CHILLS !! 😁🥰
Full story in unconcerned full version that's the best one
Love ur face ur emotions and ur reactions =) Greetings from Germany !
Em actually said that this song is a combination of multiple real stories..
also a small tip, avoid censored versions especially when it comes to eminem, they cut quite a lot of important details when it comes to his stories
I wonder how he found Dido for this verse...amazing.
Some producer played a sample of Dido and em was like I need this and he sent dido the song and she immediately requested that they make a video for it because it moved her sm
That’s real hip hop for you right there.
Eminem is hailed as the best MC Rapper of our generation and it is for a reason
First of all, I want to say something to you lady ! . The way you react with all these emotions, I just wanna hug you like I know you so long, so gently with all the respect . You are such a human and very beautiful lady.. God bless you and plus your kids, I heard you say you have a kids so may God give them whatever they want in life ❤

Greatness in one song “EMINEM”
Stan's face in the window at the end... ohhhh check out "Bad Guy" it's the Stan sequel.
Always do unedited with Eminem. There was alot you missed because it was the clean version
I'm excited for your journey. I recommend "Till I Collapse"
lol, I'm enjoying reliving my reaction to this song
The guy who plays Stan is Devon Sawa, actir. He also is in the TV series Chucky (the killer doll). 😁
That's how the word "Stan" created.
Yeah EM got a lot of fans like this
This song takes me back. Forget the genesis of the word Stan that we use to this day, I'd like to highlight another word, a word that didn't make it out of the 2000s, thank god. 3:07 There it is! Before "Lit" we had "Phat." I still laugh about it, and I love that Eminem used that in Stan's letter, it's so emblematic of the times and how we used to speak as teenagers.
Im dying everytime seeing your reactions 😂🤣😂😂
the long version, the "dirty" version is a masterpiece in rap History
at this point this song is just art
The actor is Devon Sawa he was Casper the friendly ghost in the live action movie. He was also in Wild America and Idle hands as well.
Those bass lines and having a 📟 is how we communicated back in the 1990s.
It is at the end of this song that you realise it all and become a STAN yourself. Welcome 😀
You definitely needs to hear the answer from Matthew! It explains a lot, honestly more touching than the original Stan
Ok here are a few absolute must listen to. Beautiful, till I collapse, loose yourself, toy soldiers. Honestly there are dozens that's just a few on the other side of the spectrum here is a few you could try that may not get as much attention as the others. Monster, the way you lie, legacy, space bound, survival. Just to name a few.
So the reason he wrote this wasn't because it happened but because he wanted the audience
A: know what it's like to be the fan
B: to know what it's like to be the artist
C: to feel what it's like to be the person on the outside looking in.
All 3 in 1 so by the time you finish hearing it you're in some way emotion connected to the song.
And that is how clever Eminem is.
Also the guy playing Stan is the lead actor for Final destination 1
You need to listen to 97' Bonnie and Clyde it's part of a trilogy of Eminem songs that are linked together. I also recommend the Eminem song Kim as it is so haunting when you understand what the song is about. A warning Kim is a brutal dark and horrific piece of storytelling.
masterpiece ❤
Don't know if anyone pointed it out but the last bar "come to think about it, it was you." Stans reflection can be seen in the window when the lighting strikes, looking in on Em writing the letter.
Beauty❤
I'm subscribing, I just Love your reactions !
Ladies and gentlemen, and this is how another Stan was created right here in this video.
Great reaction! Four minutes in and I already subscribed lol
chills... got it
