Closing Song on The Eminem Show: Which would you chose?

Postby Lebron>Kobe » Sep 17th, '10, 06:00

I've been debating this for a while in my head and I'm interested to get everyone's feedback. As you all know "My Dad's Gone Crazy" is the last track on The Eminem Show (besides "Curtains Up" obviously). Though I love how the 3rd verse comes completely out of the blue and is much more serious than the first two, and I especially love the last line ("I don't blame you I wouldn't let Hailie listen to me neither"), I think TES could have ended in a much more, for lack of a better word, epic manner. The alternatives in my preferred order:

Till I Collapse- If I had listened to TES straight through the first time I heard the CD and this was the closing track I'm pretty sure my head would've blown to pieces. The title, subject matter, motivational theme, etc. makes for an ideal last song. Would've left fans on the edge of their seat for his next album like no other. Perfect closing track.

Sing For the Moment- The subject matter is also ideal for a closing track. The guitar rifts during the last 45 seconds or so would have been a great chance for fans to digest and reflect on the classic they just heard.

Hailie's Song- A heart felt tribute to his daughter for the last song, how could somebody hate on that? Con: doesn't really wrap up the album in anyway.

Say Goodbye to Hollywood- Obviously not my first choice, but it would have set Encore up well.


Not really a big deal, but just curious to hear everyone's opinion. :coffee:

If I had the power to change something on TES, I wouldn`t. Not even if I could.

My Dad's Gone Crazy. I love how it ends with her "You're funny, Daddy!"
