31.

Number 31 is 'Stan' by Eminem featuring Dido in 2000. This is a powerful story where the images are directly related to the lyrics. This is to make it believable. It is the story of an obsessed Eminem fan descending into a homicidal wreck. This highlights the pressure of being a star and an example of living life through someone else, how most people do. There is the appearance of Dido in the video and she is dressed as a pregnant girlfriend with her hair messed up and a false bump, which is contrasting to the image she wants. Devon Sawa who plays Stan had to mime Eminem's words and rap in the video and in the car scene becomes frustrated with this and it really shows on his face, however this was very effective in the video. The dark content used caused a media outcry.
