Even though Alexis is a big Eminem fan, she has never seen the video for Stan so this was an opportunity to do a song from one of our favorite artists. One of Em's most powerful songs and videos, he touches on the important topic of mental health with sub topics of obsessive behavior and domestic violence. #eminem #rap #stan #eminemvideos #hiphop @eminem

I completely understand taking some of the edge off of the song with a few edits, but the censors butchered the hell out of this song. 😁😁 Great reaction as always! Thank you!
Why is a little censoring understandable?
@@timw6423 so that the song can be played on tv / radio during peak periods where kids might be watching / listening. thats why music is generally censored all of the time and there's an explicit version for the appropriate times (which im sure you know).
agreed. its crazy because if you have never heard the song before - watching the censored version of the video you don't necessarily get any imagery or knowledge of the fact the girlfriend is in the car. ive seen many react to the song and they're not even aware of it.when you take out all of the references to his girlfriend (minus the "shut up b!tch, i'm trying to talk.." it's easy for the story to be incorrectly told.
i always search for the uncut versions
The actor playing Stan was also in the movie "Little Giants" and was Junior the quarterback.
This kind of mentality has exploded with podcasts. People listen to a podcaster twice a week and talk back in their heads. They feel like they have a real relationship with the podcaster. They remember little moments and things that they mention with their family. And when they meet the podcaster they talk to them as if they have a personal relationship. They talk about events that happened 15 years ago as if the person remembers and it's in their head as much as it is for themselves.
She also sings a song called White Flag. Dido. Good song.
agreed, very good song
Eminem is 🐐
Great reaction, you should do bad guy. Basically stan part 2 from his brother matthew point of view. Genius song
fun fact: the word "stan" was added to the English dictionary after this song
Censorship butchered this video just like it's butchering our society.
It really did gut the feel of the video
Oh wow! Alexis definitely looks a lot more 'expecting' than the latest time I'd been to this channel! 😮 Which I'm sure can't be much more than only a couple of weeks ago, though!? 😀
she due in may
@@keithpederson9912- Oh! So she's pretty much half way already! 😮
Listen to "Bad Guy"
It's the sequel to "Stan"
From Matthew's, the little brother's, POV
I wonder how many bands or artists have had a song title enter common language usage like this? A ‘stan’ being a super fan.
There's a sequel to Stan called Bad Guy.
It's the story of Matthew the little brother.
that's a spoiler bro.
@@DDZ516 you're right.
I told her bout Kim and just realized i spilled it to by saying it's about his ex wife but i didn't told her the twist.
You know what he does to her in words of course
great video but yeah you need to find the non-censored version!
Dido was actually the first person to have a hit song on the internet
You never heard of chocolate rain guy
@@rigo62982 no I haven't how far up the chart did he go? Dido got top ten on billboard to get the title but maybe you know more than they do
Excellent choice.
I adore this song; I must've listened to this some thousand or so times over the years. Its haunting.
Looking forward to the reaction!
Another good song that was considered “shocking” and was banned at the time was You’re All I Need , Motley Crüe. Would love to see you do that one
The first time I saw someone call themselves a 'stan' within a fandom, I was just a little more than perplexed... like um, do you really understand what you just said and how or why that phrase came about? I still don't get it and it still creeps me out a bit because of the layers within his writing. Em didn't write it to be flattering.
I'm with both of you, Eminem's songs are meant to be heard in the entirety, but music censoring irritates me from the jump. The edited version of Sing For The Moment wipes out a whole section of the message in it.
Question 🙋♂️ now does Alex know the in the air tonight phil collins who was reference in the song 🎧
Eminem has the explicit version of the video up on youtube. I think it's labelled as the dirty version.
That was an MTV awards performance you're thinking of Burch
Blow the mouse out with an air compressor, Burch. Mine does that too, and blowing it out (cleaning the dust, etc out) fixes it.
That was Devon Sawa he was the ghost boice and appeared as himself in Casper when he was a kid
He was also in Final Destination
You need to check out the new band of 3 sisters from mexico called The Warning they recently played the MTV vma`s with their song EVOLVE.....
You two must check out Tom Macdonald "dear slim"
You might be pleasantly surprised how good this guy is.
It's didn't slit her throut yes. Don't worry about Stan on 15:38 you can see in the window that he is still here.
Alexis favorite song is Love Bites!?!?! Nice. I'm not sure what got played the most in my car growing up, Hysteria or 5150...but I went through three cassettes of each. By the way, for epic videos I recommend Falling In Reverse.
Ooo you should hear Bad Guy
Do "Bad Guy" its basically Stan part 2. From Stan's bro Matthew.
Laughing really hard at Burch doing an old man voice. Just wasiting to here him say "Pepperidge Farm Remebers"
yall should react to my darling by eminem
Do Macklemore- Hind’s Hall
The US needs to keep up with the times. Censorship is BS.
The little brother gets his revenge in a later song
Did the Darkness reaction get taken down?
No I haven't posted it yet. It will post next week. Sometimes I do them out of order from when we record them
Eminem without cursing is like a burger without ketchup
More like a burger without the meat ;)
Hi❤
Please make her watch "Final Destination." I stay far away from trucks loaded with timber 😂. To this day, I look at those trucks, and I immediately think of the movie
NF song Masion
Nf would change your life he is this generation Eminem all his music is like this song
So the whole censorship argument reminds me of a song you should introduce Alexis to, G'n'R's Don't Damn Me.
On it
Please react to 'BAD GUY' - the sequel to Stan & it's amazing - no spoilers!
Em is 'uncancellable.- he won't bend to the 'offended mob'🐐His music is Art & it should never be censored. More Marshall please🐐#STAN
PS you'lll find Em's uncensored videos at 'EminemExplicit'👍
Since u did this can u always allow also react to Badguy. Its the sequel to this .
Check Out D12
It’s a great song and I love your reaction but it’s a very sad and graphic song and video
Yeah ALexis. watch Final Destination!!
😂FYI: Em's wife in this video is Dido
Video with alot of meaning watch Headlights
Need to pick a song from Nirvana on MTV Unplugged
Great reaction, yeah the censorship ruined this song. Too much of it nowadays and too many snowflakes out there. Lots of his videos are good, just been watching reactions to "when i'm gone" great song
It should be illegal to play a censored Eminem song
You miss half the song
And its intense
Awesome reaction.
Has Alexis seen 8 Mile?
I'm triggered by the censoring of Eminem's songs lol
His lil brother - its machine gun kelly ))))
do some five finger death punch
We did their cover of gone away which drops tomorrow
Hi Alexis, I'm a big Eminem fan, too... but not as big a fan as Stan was, though.
What were your thoughts on a couple of other songs by Eminem, titled "Castle" and "Arose"?
Great reaction video, btw
I think Metallica s one video would be great if she hasn't seen or did yet
I watched all the reactions to this video, I’m from Russia and my English is very bad, I don’t know how much English-speaking people understand with the cut out words, but it seems to me that the cut out words kill the whole meaning, and everyone who watched the incomplete version didn’t understand anything about the girl
Censoring curse words is annoying, but wouldn’t ordinarily impact a song too much.
This video has been HEAVILY censored, including some really key parts of Stan’s story that really illustrate just how obsessed he is with Em and how far off the rails he’s gone, to the point of such severe delusion that Em’s songs have bled into his reality and he’s actions real life actions are being dictated by Eminem’s lyrics to an extent.
Because two lines cut from the driving scene are explicit references to lyrics to two songs from Eminem’s first/previous album The Slim Shady LP.
“I just drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?” is a line from My Name Is, while the lines about his girlfriend in the trunk are references to his song Kim which results in his wife being deceased in the trunk of his car. Stan makes a point of differentiating himself from Eminem, by stating that he didn’t kill her because he wanted her to suffer first, in some twisted attempt at one-upmanship.
Stan is unable to differentiate between the fantasy of Eminem’s songs and his reality. Which is the entire point and genius of this song. He was Public Enemy No. 1 following the release of SSLP and the backlash it caused.
This song is a direct response to those who attacked him previously. He’s making the point his songs aren’t to be taken literally eg. he doesn’t actually want to kill his wife, he’s just venting frustrations.
This is further illustrated when we get to his verse responding to Stan’s letters, where he makes a point of differentiating himself from his Slim Shady character. He expresses concern about Stan’s behaviour, gives him advice and suggests he see a councillor.
Also, i don’t think these edits were made recently. I’m pretty sure this was how it originally played on MTV and the like. I certainly have recollection of the video being heavily censored here when it was played on TV here in Australia.
But I also remember the scene showing her screaming in the trunk, so I’m doubting my own memories. Plus he’s said much much worse in videos released since Stan, they haven’t been censored.
Edit: looked it up. This version was one of two versions that was played on mtv, this version is actually the less censored of the two.
It’s wild how they cut out so much of this song yet they can have people lap dancing on satan in music now..
The fact this man was so big and the song was so big they actually added “Stan” and this definition in the dictionary.. like it has its own new meaning now. Which completely misses the meaning of the song entirely lol
Another product of Eminem is Tom Macdonald... he bought a beat ($100k) from Eminem in an online auction and wrote "Dear Slim". his other stuff is pretty good too
Censorship sucks no matter rhe reason. Freedom of speech my ass. 😂
You could get away with it if you are still Eminem.
its wokeness!!!! and yes i speak my mind also.
A completely takes away from the song because they don't cut just cut out swear words they cut out loads of different words.
watching the butchered cencored version of Eminem is heresy. LUL
I don't remember it being that bad but holy cow, that is pretty bad. Like I said in the video, it's crazy because it's his official video from his channel
Love dido don't like him
