"Beautiful" (Video)


Finally... the radio-edit length version of Eminem's "Beautiful" video is here. Filmed at a few Detroit landmarks, including Tiger Stadium, Michigan Central Station (a.k.a. the old train depot) and the Packard Plant on Detroit's Eastside- this video is filled with beauty. It's a tremendous shame what condition these structures have been left to decay into... but they are still beautiful.
Below are a few photos I took on the set.

RIP Tiger Stadium...

Everytime I hear this song it gives me chills and seeing the video he just made for it makes it an even more powerful song. I hope people really see what he is doing in this video for Detroit. Some are oblivious to what that city is going through and been through.

THE FIRST SONG I LOVE OF THE ALBUM,

GIVES ME STRENGHT,

.Great video. Not being from Detroit, can't believe they just have these building's just sitting there allowing them to rot away. I thought i read they were going to do something with Tiger Stadium and not rip it down because of the history it has. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb etc, I guess not

I love how they carefully filmed each shot, it definitely is a beautiful video. It's close to being one of my favorite tracks on the album but I think Deja Vu is better (but it wouldn't fit the theme of the video anyways)

What I don't get is why they have to cut the video with that radio edited version when Stan & When I'm Gone both were filmed in full 6 mins. length!!

I wish iTunes store Thailand has music and video sections! Most of the store in Asia only sells applications which is sad. I can't support my favorite artist even if I want to :(

The video is one of the things you can't just go and buy it in CD store.
