thank you (dido song)
an album review found on cd universe shares a similar opinion: "the most startling moment has to be 'stan', featuring haunting, ethereal guest vocals from dido; an incongruously sublime track, it spins an o. henry-meets-'60s teenage-death-song tale of obsessed fan worship gone terribly wrong." nme magazine praised the song: "'stan' is a wonderful short story, an astute study in extreme fandom." sputnik music described that "stan's sampling of dido and use of rain and writing sound effects" make the album versatile. the same critic listed the song in the recommended downloads list and reviewed it:if you haven't heard this, you probably make a career out of living under rocks. it tells the story of an obsessive fan who kills themselves because their idol (eminem) never writes back, and introduces one of the album's key themes – the scary power of fame. ironic, then, that this album made him the biggest cultural figurehead on the planet. it starts with a sample of dido's 'thank you' under a sample of rain. this sample goes on to form the song's hook, relating the level of stan's obsession and almost making him a sympathetic character (your picture on my wall/it reminds me that it's not so bad...). offsetting this is eminem's raps under the persona of stan, which reveal him as a reprehensible character; mentally unstable, self-mutilating, sexually confused, volatile, and abusive to his pregnant girlfriend (whose life he takes too, when he takes his own). eminem's final verse is him attempting to write back, asking him not to be like this guy he saw on the news...overplayed? yes. but even so, of all of eminem's singles, this one demonstrates his power as a rapper and his skill as a poet best.ign praised the song as "easily the most scathingly introspective rumination on fan adoration, idol assimilation, and borderline stalker etiquette. teamed to dido's lulling 'thank you' with its almost somnambulistically hypnotic pop sultriness provides a jolting contrast to the twisted storyline of a musical obsession gone awry. it also paints a picture of what it's like to be knee deep in the push-and-pull world of a superstar. the song's poignancy never fades, even almost five years later it's still potent." "slant magazine" was mixed: "'stan' is an interesting look into the mind of a fanatic (albeit through the eyes of an equally disturbed individual), but it's structured entirely around someone else's work (dido's 'thank you')."
