Eminem's Best: "Stan," speeds of the original Studio version with Dido and the live 2001 Grammy Awards Elton version, sampling the song "Thank You"

The speed graphs compare two versions of the Eminem song Stan. The song was recorded originally with Dido singing the musical verse first, Eminem then going into verse. When the song was recorded at the 2001 Grammy Awards with Elton John playing piano and Dido's musical and vocal part, Eminem went into the first verse before Elton sang his first musical verse, as Dido. Hence, the red Elton comparison line on the chart on the top does not begin until after a twelve bar piano improvisation in A minor.
