Elton John is one of his closest buds and ensures he always has a pal who understand drug abuse, that he can go to when he is considering relapsing. As far as I am concerned they are both legends as far as gay people are concerned, Elton John being gay himself, and Eminem being straight, but coming from a culture where being gay is kept low key, but coming out in great support of gay people and being great friends with one of the most flaming queens ever to show his support.

@@Infinityxxxxxx Hey, it wasn't me who didn't check the facts. Mistakes can be made: you can fudge up spelling or grammar and it wouldn't affect the message you're trying to convey. But factual mistakes are the worst kind - they twist the actual data and depict you in unfavourable light. As a translator I was taught to avoid them at [almost] any cost. So, I know that its better to check your info twice before putting it into words. Wishing you all the best in the future!😀

[@starrysterre]

@Kirill Nalivaiko infinity's facts are still valid though? Eminem released the real slim shady first and afterwards he went to perform at the grammys (unless he performed at the grammys sometime before he released the real slim shady but idk about that)

You know it must be said how great on the fly Eminem can clean up most of the swears. That's not easy to do when you're used to writing and performing a certain way. Your muscle memory doesn't necessarily stop and think "change the word". So bravo. And beautiful with Elton John

[@Puppyface52100]

It took me a while to realize he was, too, since he does it so smooth

[@kdpwt]

He said shit a few times lol. Can’t blame him too much because he was probably so used to it

[@luzarredondo23]

When the video of that song came on MTV was so iconic, we waited to watch it over and over!! That was before KZbin!!

[@Mysseskay]

What an epic moment! And this friendship still reigns today, amen

[@aklevin]

A perfect performance of what is in my opinion Eminem's most unique song.

[@dylanwatt7461]

ooooooooooh. i might have to disagree. his most unique to me is hailie's song. very vulnerable, especially in a time the media was tearing him to shreds, and he tried to do something new as he never really sang instead of rapped before. stan is beautiful too though.

[@hyperreality5169]

This is just straight up nostalgia. It's one of the best performances of all time

[@hollywoodhiggins1576]

It’s arguably the greatest song ever written an this is the greatest live performance ever!

[@hunterannett967]

This song alone to me proves that Eminem is one of if not the greatest rapper of our time

[@awppenheimer]

omg Elton's piano playing on this is so good. they're both generational talents, love them.

[@OfficialRAWTRICKS]

Pure musical perfection

[@beerbuzzhub]

Love this version and this performance. So clean.

[@angge4261]

Elton is a classy man, a beautiful one...a genius, musically. And clearly knows how to recognise talent. Love to them fucking both.

[@RaceGrueskin]

The best part is how half the time he changes shit and half the time he doesn’t

[@Jcsj_]

i think when he gets in the moment he forgets to censor himself lol

[@ripwakez955]

imagine a day where you could be able to express yourself by saying whatever the hell you want on the grammys and mainstream media. Think about it this way, eminem got as big as he with cussing. So why should he censor something that is apart of what got him nominated in the first place

[@johanneswielenga6902]

@@ripwakez955 I mean, Will Smith didn't have to cuss in his raps to sell records.... so. But then again, I can just imagine that Eminem would say something like "well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!"

[@TheBonecrusherz]

I liked the part where he said "bitch" but literally couple lines later changed "shit" to "shut"

I love how before Elton emerged, his piano sound was unmistakable.

[@denoyellebenjamin2003]

A cette époque il n'y avait qu' une seule légende sur scène, Eminem n'avait pas encore atteint ce statut... Je trouve qu'Elton John en plus de son talent incommensurable s'illustre par sa modestie en s'investiisant complètement pour fait du piano et simplement chanter le refrain, sans chichi. Il accepte en quelque sorte de jouer le second rôle alors que d'autres se prendraient pour Dieu sur terre à sa place.... Respect à tous les deux, j'adore le résultat.

Is it odd that as a 61 yr old woman im a huge eminem fan?

[@DraccoMC]

Not odd at all. He's maybe the greatest lyricist of modern English and greatest rapper ever. I'd say you have a very good musical taste and it's very respectable the fact you are open to all kinds of music.

[@VickiCombs-e9k]
