good morning people! it's friday - woo hoo! so the gang over at TMZ posted a bit about fans being very unhappy with beyonce's latest deja vu video outing - even going as far as starting a petition trying to get columbia records to redo the video completely! it's certainly not her best video at all but it does beat that crappy new jessica simpson video - sorry to keep harping on ms. simpson but after her a public affair rollerskating debacle she deserves it! below is a copy of the petition - it's kinda funny how 'serious' this all seems...i highly doubt she will remake the video but if she did it for surely would seem to be a case of 'deja vu' - popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
This petition is for the advocacy of having Ms. Beyonce' Knowles, Columbia Records, Music World Entertainment, and all other entities associated with the creative process of creating the long-form music video known as "Deja Vu" reshoot aforementioned video immediately. This video is an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music video projects of Ms. Knowles. The following problems have been pointed out by numerous fans on and offline:

A) There is no clear story or theme to the video
B) The dancing is erratic, confusing and alarming at times
C) The sexual themes and shots between Ms. Knowles and Mr. Sean Carter PKA Jay-Z, are alarming and show unacceptable interactions between the two
D) The fashion in this video, while haute-couture, is unbelievable and ridiculous
E) The editing, while professionally done, causes one to get dizzy and disoriented
F) The overall feel of the video leaves a sense of much to be desired
G) The video is very disappointing and is not a clear representation of any of the songs themes

We, the fans of one Beyonce' Knowles, ask that an alternative video be shot featuring; more choreographed & less spontaneous dancing, clearer visual themes that relate to the lyrics of the song, less gyrating, less scenes of non-existant sexual chemistry between Mr. Carter and Ms. Knowles, less zooming and quick cut edits and a more stylized and clear direction for all other aspects of the video production. Suggested in this re-shoot would be the hire of another producer besides Ms. Sophie Mueller -- one more acclimated to urban themes and imagery in music videos, other than Hype "Letterbox" Williams. sign the petition

Um...I dont see why n e onez complainin about tha vid...I think itz good...! She said she's trying to be different let her be different. And who in tha hellz getten dizzy off a vid? IM NOT! I LOVE tha song...I LOVE them as a couple and I LOVE Beyonce as an individual...I think it does still show how talented she is...She doesnt have to do a robotic choreography every damn video...! <<< not saying her choreography is robotic cause I love that too! It shows that she can freestyle and do n e thing she wants. But I mean really, ppl get a life! If you don't like the video DON'T WATCH IT!...No one's putting a gun to your head and making you! And how many other videos do you see who's story goes EXACTLY with the words? And she look great! So ppl need to stop hating and get a life! When you're up there doing what Beyonce's doing and PAYING for the things she does THEN just MAYBE you can put ya lil funky a** 2 cents in...Until thennnn SHHHHH!....OH- and I definitly DON'T think she should remake the video!

I ALWAYS HATED THE VIDEO IT'S JUST PLAIN GARBAGE

i guess its ok. i dont like the song that much but geeze all that crazy dancing is just a little too much for me.
i can understand if shes trying to be creative.. but the crazy dancing is a little too much.

This is utterly RIDICULOUS! I have to admit when I first watched the video I have to say I thought it was WILD. Yeah the dance moves are CRAZY, but it's nothing BAD. I happen to LOVE the song and the video. I think the song is wild, FUNKY and different, so the video goes well with it. DIFFERENT is never bad. And as for her and Jay's part. I think it's CUTE. She's not does anything wrong or degrading in this video.Compared to some of the videos that have been coming out, I say this is pretty TAMED. As for Bee's video: If you don't like it, guess what.....U don't have to watch it! She's what's HOTT right now, so GET OVER IT! Everybody has their time, and her's is NOW. Oh, and for those who want her to reshoot the video, I say PAY for it!

» this comment was posted by kiss my @$$....Thanks on july 21, 2006 1:05 pm «

Seriously, was the choreography for this video done by Sparky "Spirit Fingers!!!" Polastri from Bring It On? RIDICULOUS.

» this comment was posted by JA on july 21, 2006 2:15 pm «

This video is utterly a disaster. It looks like she is about to blow Jay-z a couple of times. But they did a great job editing out her "thunder thighs"

IT LOOKS LIKE the video was hot in 2 hours..and they said to hell with it lets just piece this stuff together.

I hope what she is wearing is not from her clothing line.

MK, I was thinking the same thing - about how Jess's video is much worse than B's! Great minds...

I can't believe there is a petition to request that she reshoot the video. She sounds genuinely proud of that video in interviews, so her fans are really insulting her by suggesting it's so awful that it needs to be completely rewritten and reshot. Disrespectful, in my opinion.

» this comment was posted by Poppy on july 21, 2006 8:12 pm «

I can't believe no one noticed her raggidy ass hair! Get a brush to the girl if they do reshoot the video, damn!

» this comment was posted by Sommer on july 21, 2006 8:21 pm «

the video is a joke, and she was on trl admitting to their being no real choreography, she truly tries to be to much like tina turner. and the rolling of the floor and almost giving jay a blow job in the video screams I AM A WHORE not an ARTIST! she will be running back to destinys child when everyone gets tired of her SHE IS A FAD! She dosent even have a GREATEST HITS CD for crying out loud.

» this comment was posted by coco on july 21, 2006 9:07 pm «

The video is a piece of shit for all of the reasons mentioned and more -- additionally, the early videos of "Destiny's Child" were far better than this crapfest. She's NOT Tina. She needs to let go of the yards of horse hair already -- dammit Beyonce, why don't you try to REINVENT YOURSELF (a new look, a new theme to your records/cd's) instead of turning up the same old shit a hundred fold.

» this comment was posted by Charlie_Mae on july 21, 2006 10:42 pm «

THAT VIDEO SUCKS, BEYONCE DID THAT SHIT HERSELF AND SHE HAS NO STYLE , JAY-Z HAS THE WACKEST RAP IN HISTORY ON THIS SONG. YOU CAN TELL THAT SHIT WAS RUSHED.

» this comment was posted by MONIQUE on july 22, 2006 9:24 am «

I THINK BEYONCE VIDEO IS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO GOES THOURGH SUCH VISION OF SEEING SOMEONE THATS NOT THERE AND THE SCENE WITH HER AND JAY-Z ARE REALLY GOOD SHE JUST LETTING EVERYBODY KNOW THAT THATS HER MAN AND HES ALWAYS THERE MAYBE IF PEOPLE WASN'T SO CLOSED MINDED ON A LOT OF THINGS SUCH AS THIS VIDEO THEN THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF DEJA VU.

» this comment was posted by Jasmine on july 22, 2006 11:37 am «

I think the entire song is CRAP. We have been hearing the same thing from her and Jay-z for the past two years. Instead of reshooting a video to this crappy song she should just release another single, one without Jay-z. I think Beyonce is a truly great singer but it seems like now she is relying too much on her and Jay-z's chemistry to make a quick "hit" instead of putting her heart and soul into it.

» this comment was posted by Nita on july 22, 2006 4:11 pm «

This is so ridiculous. I hate a lot of videos and I've never started a petition...Why? Because its an effin music video. It is like anything else where people like it and some dont. Jesus, who do these people think they are? Beyonce really doesnt owe them anything. Its an expression of herself and what she is feeling right now and that is that. These people signing this petition really need to get lives instead of petitioning for a reshoot of a MUSIC VIDEO!?
My opinion is that I like Beyonce and the song and although Im not a huge fan of the video there is no way in hell I am going to sign that outrageous petition.

» this comment was posted by bella ann on july 22, 2006 5:01 pm «

I love Beyonce, but this video has got to go. I insist she quickly reshoots the video it's horrible. The part with her and Jay-Z is a bit to foward. I understand her wanting to take a risk but she went to far.

OMFG!!!!.........WILL EVERY1 JUST GET A LIFE...THE VIDEO IS GREAT.....THE SONG IS GREAT......IT'S SO SIMPLE...IF YOU DONT LIKE THE VIDEO THEN DON'T WATCH IT.....BEYONCE' IS VERY CREATIVE...AND I THINK THE VIDEO IS DIFFERENT...AND AS FAR AS HER ON JAY-Z A LOT....COME ON NOW THATS HER BOYFRIEND....WHEN YOU HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE BANK AS BEYONCE' THEN YOU CAN TALK S**T ABOUT HER...UNTIL THEN BACK OFF.............THANKSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Hey.Hazim here...again.Why should people complainabout the video when they should be complaining about the song? The song sucks. It's terrible, repetitive, and boring. Maybe it was an artistic move to shoot a sucky video for a sucky song.Who knows?

I think that Beyonce is a very talented woman and to all of you who dont agree are HATING ON HER. she is beautiful and she deserves better than people trying to put her down. How can you say that you are a true fan of hers when you dont appreciate her hard work and dedication. Beyonce if you ever read this message I want you to keep your head up and continue doing you because these people aint going to make or break you because you are a true diva who everyone loves and I most definatly love you and all of the work that you do. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Honestly, i LOVE THAT VIDEO AND SONG. BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND NOT THE SAME CRAP I SEE ON MTV AND BET ALL THE TIME. WHETHER OR NOT U LIKE THE VIDEO BEYONCE STILL MANAGED TO GET PEOPLES ATTENTION. SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING!!

» this comment was posted by Sheamiller on july 23, 2006 9:19 pm «

Yes, I agree that the video has no real meaning to it but, what do you expect it is Beyonce'. She is always coming out with something new and spontanious, and she does it to be different. And the dancing is basically an African style of dance, and in an African style of dance crazy movements are nessesary, in order to show how you feel and with the effects of the dirt she looks AMAZING!!!!....sooo Beyonce keep doing what you best!!!!

» this comment was posted by A'Janay on july 23, 2006 10:36 pm «

Beyonce is a beautiful girl & as for the deja' vu..video, the IMAGE doesn't represent the B' we know. Maybe, Beyonce hurried the video, just so that she could get her fame, before Janet jackson..released her debut single..So therefore Beyonce' true work quality as a singer & dancer wasn't depicted correctly. Beyonce. a lil advice, when you're a true star, it doesn't matter who comes before you, just always do the best job, because you'll always shine irregularless to the timing.

» this comment was posted by kimmie on july 24, 2006 1:23 pm «

Well i never like the song or thevideo but that's her creativity...if she thinks it hot thather....her opinion counts ot noone else... and besidesthe video must not be 2 dumb because it'son 106 & park count down

» this comment was posted by Anonymous on july 24, 2006 8:55 pm «

the video reminded me of her crazy in love video- just her in lots of different revealing costumes doing bugger all. i dont think the video is creative at all- theres nothing to it. its a shame she has had to sink to such lows as to having to lose weight and wear such stuff to sell a single because she really does have a great voice and her DC stuff was great. it wont be long before we get sick and tired of her and shell drop off the face of the earth- i personally hope itll be sooner rather than later.

beyonce please remake it . i love your music and your videos are usually off the hook but i dont feel that ur video matches with the song. the wild grass dance belongs in the babyboy video where did that awesome solo. this song deserves to have a sexy, energetic, video... not wild animals in africa!!!! love yah

» this comment was posted by jae on july 25, 2006 8:47 am «

I think B needs to take a little break. She stated in recent interviews how beautiful she is and what a dynamic performer she is and how she doesn't understand why people don't give her more credit. She has become very overexposed and although that's all fine and well to start of but after awhile it leads to a sharp drop. She seems to be believing too much of her own hype. Her videos and songs are so similar. It's her flipping her head around and her ratted fake hair all over like a stripper would. She flails around like she's having a seizure. She's went from content to look at me, I'm sexy in my skimpy outfit!
If she doesn't get her head out of her ass she will end up having a nervous breakdown or no career at all.
She has the talent she just needs to reset and refocus and realize she like everyone else is replacable in the public eye.

does anyone else notice that beyonce's videos are all the same????
this one is noooo different. she uses videos as an excuse to showcase her clothes/face/body/sexuality....its outrageous. She is so self-centred its disgusting. every single shot is of her staring at the camera with her retarded 'look-how-hot-i-am' face. BARF

THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT REAL ARTISTS LIKE BEYONCE AND JAY-Z HAVE TO DEAL WITH TODAY. MUSIC FANS TODAY LIKE THE FABRICATED SHIT THAT IS ALLMADE UP AND UNORIGINAL. BEYONCE IS ORIGINAL IN ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE DOES AND IF IT DOES SLIGHTLY RESEMBLE TINA TURNER, IT'S BECAUSE THAT'S WHO SHE ADMIRES AND GREW UP ON. TODAY EVERY FEMALE ARTIST WANTS TO LOOK AND SOUND LIKE BEYONCE AND RECORD LABELS GO FOR THAT IMAGE TOO. WHAT DOES BEYONCE HAVE TO DO? SHE HAS TO REINVENT HERSELF, SHE HAS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HER NEW VIDEO OR HER NEW VISION THEN YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND MUSIC AND ART. tHE VIDEO IS HOT AND THE SCENES WITH JAY ARE EVEN HOTTER. THEY ARE A COUPL AND ENJOY WORKING TOGETHER, THEY ARE TWO AMAZING ARTISTS THAT ARE EXTREMELY TALENTED AND ORIGINAL. SHE DOESN'T OWE ANYONE A RESHOOT BECAUSE IT WAS HER HARD WORK AND HER DEDICATION THAT HAS GOTTEN HER THIS FAR AAND SHE IS DOING BIG AND AMZING THINGS. STOP HATING ON BEYONCE, HER VIDEO IS HOT, HER SONG IS HOT. IT'S ALL AMAZING AND SOULFUL. TO ALL YOU PUPPET ARTISTS-LOVING PEOPLE- THAT LOVE SEING MECHANICAL, UNORIGINAL, MADE-UP, COMMERCIALIZED, AND UNTALENTED ARTISTS OUT THERE BEYONCE IS NOT FOR YOU, YOU'RE NOT ON HER LEVEL OR JAY'S YET MAYBE ONE DAY YOU'LL GET THERE AND SEE HER TALENT BUT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE JUST NOT READY FOR WHAT BEYONCE AND JAY ARE BRINGING TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

I do agree that sometimes beyonce can over due things. But she is an amazing person and very talented. Her video is great because it shows who she is as an artist. Just let her do her thang all of these people are just hating on beyonce because they wish they could be her. get a life there are way more important thing to worry about in this world than beyonce remaking her video. Keep up the good work B.

is it really that you hate you so much that you have time to sit and citicize someone over their craft. i do not see any of you selling millions of records,performing not 1 but 3 songs on the grammy's, winning grammy's, doing world tours, and being featured in films. beyonce is not afraid to step outside the box and be creative and different, however those of you who are hating on her would not understand that because you want to conform to what you expect people to you to be, too afraid to do something different. Or you are so much of a loser that it only makes you feel better to demeanor someone else because no matter what yu do, no one would know or even care to know who you are anyway. and for those individuals who want her to reshoot the video, get a life. it is a music video, this is not a broadway play. it will never be up for a tony award. i just cannot believe this outrageousness. if you like the video, watch it, embrace it, support her, if you don't like it, don't watch it. everyone is entitled to thier own opinions, i would never take that a way from anyone, but just to be out right insulting, disrecpectful, and demeaning is unnecssary. i'm sure whether you like it or not, she will continue to be blessed and successful.

I think that Deja Vu is one of Beyonce's best amd most creavtive video's. ALL THESE BITCH ASS HATERS NEED TO STOP YALL JUST JEALOUS B-CUZ JAY GOT BEYONCE AND NOBODY ELSE CAN TOUCH THAT and i love that way that they show chemistry. PEOPLE USEW TO HATE WHEN THEY DIDNT SHOW PUBLIC AFFECTION AND NOW THAT THEY ARE THEY DONT LIKE IT

I don't think she should remake the video, I'm quite sure a lot of hard work was put into that video. I have to admit that she is slightly unexposed but I think every woman should have the freedom and the right to display her sexuality

» this comment was posted by Anonymous on july 26, 2006 3:48 pm «

SORRY YALL BUT THAT VIDEO WAS TOTALLY WHACK. I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH CHANNELS ONE DAY AND HER VIDEO POPPED UP AND ALL I HEARD HER SAYING WAS AHHHHHH!! SO I GOT SCARED AND START SCREAMING AHHHHHHHH!!! IT WAS LIKE AN AFRICAN SAFARI NIGHTMARE OR SOMETHING. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON!! PLUS THE SONG DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE. DONT GET ME WRONG B IS AN OKAY ARTIST..BUT SHE DOES THINGS UNECCESSARY LIKE THAT VIDEO. WAS THERE SUPPOSE TO BE A MEANING TO IT OR SOMETHING?? AND THAT DANCING WAS TOO MUCH. SHES ALREADY PRETTY AND SEXY WHAT MORE DOES SHE NEED TO DO?? ONE DAY, IF SHE DO THAT AFRICAN DANCE TOO HARD, SHE GONNA THROW HER BACK, OUT BREAK AN ANKLE AND LOSE HER WEAVE IN THE AUDIENCE.

If your sexy and you know it, people hate (clap,clap) If your sexy and you know it,people hate (clap,clap) If your sexy and you know it all the haters really show it....If your sexy and you know it people HATE! (clap,clap) The video is great.I don't think there's a darn thing wrong with her dancing! It looks like she pulled dance moves from several old school performers like Tina Turner, Josephine Baker and Lola Falana. She just put her own spin on them. Are we going to hate them for their noticeable influence on younger performers such as Beyonce? Don't hate the player, hate the game! And why do people hate black love so much? As long as we do the pimp & ho set up, or we're somehow abusive with each other, that's totally accepted. Beyonce & Jay-Z are a COUPLE seemingly destined for the altar, and we can't stand to see them display their affection for each other IN A VIDEO. What has happened to our mindsets? Is HATE & DRAMA really more acceptable than LOVE? She didn't grope his privates, she tugged his belt!! She did a simple back bend against his leg...SOOOOOO WHAT!!! You know there's way more than that in other videos today, and in those videos they're STRANGERS. As for the graphics and zooming shots, if you've ever experienced something that is surreal such as Deja Vu, you will feel those kinds of effects in your mind. That is a simple illustration of what your mind does in situations such as that. Please folks, this is entertainment! Some things appeal to some and not to others, so it really isn't THIS crucial to have a petition. Her video is in no way a hazard to someone health. If it does make you dizzy...YOU have the control, not Beyonce. Just TURN THE FREAKING CHANNEL!!!!!!

» this comment was posted by C C on july 27, 2006 8:31 am «

I think many people should juss stay off of her...what many people fail to realize is that she is not getting any younger...the older she gets the more she matures...and no offense to the little people, but as she ages, she will go through many experiences and put them in her songs that doesn't interest little people that still like "Bug-A-Boo","Bills, Bills, Bills","No, No, No"...or evn "Independent Women"...that's back then before she was serious with a man...for all those mothers who don't like their kids watching that "Deja Vu" video...get over it because your child is not only learning that from TV...but from their friends...check your children friends and the environment thay are in before you try to down rate a person you only see on television...obviously she's doing something right if she made it this far...

» this comment was posted by MissMoochie on july 27, 2006 9:32 am «

Give me a break!!!! I can't believe that people what to petition a music video! As if there are not more pressing issues in this country. Further, for those who do not understand our culture and heritage, she was dancing in African style. This style of dance entails strong and erratic motions or "wild" dancing (so it’s been called). Get lives people! Let her do what she does best...ENTERTAIN PEOPLE.

» this comment was posted by C.J. on july 27, 2006 11:11 am «

You all got to remember that beyonce has fans that are young girls that admire B. And I think that video was showing a hole new light for B. Even on the BET Awards when Jay Z slaped her ass I think that was disrecpectful its basically saying I allready hit that if you know what i mean. I do not think she should do the video over because now everyone has seen it so it really dont matter now.

» this comment was posted by Diva on july 27, 2006 1:53 pm «

I don't why they doin this to B!!! I like the dance i do it at home, it might get u a little dizzy but sooo what. The thing that really PO me is the thing about her and jay z. They are a COUPLE!!!!!! and they weren't even all that sexually, they look at them but there is many other videos that show asses and other worse sexual things ITS BEYONCE'S DECISION AND SHE SHOULDNT CHANGE IT!!!

» this comment was posted by Jazzi on july 29, 2006 10:05 pm «

Ok, that's the way Beyonce wanted it. LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!! Its ashame that a person can never win with people, its her song and video that SHE paid for!!!!!! If you would listen to the words it makes sense. I love the fashions in the video, makes it that much brighter and better. And since Bee is the one having deja vu it makes perfect sense why Jay-Z isn't all over her, its just in her mind. Anyone who signed that petition is ignorant and if you are a fan you should appreciate her artistic view. I do not see what's wrong with the video, she only dances for like 15 secs. in the dirt. Shakira can dance in oil but Beyonce can't spin in a circle? Shut that petition down, I can't beieve people are that pissed that they sent it to her record label, just don't watch the video!!!!!!

» this comment was posted by Alicia on july 31, 2006 7:55 pm «

beyonce's video is great nothing is wrong with it leave her alone its fun and diffirent. shut the petiton down or i'll send a petition to stop the other petition. the video is how she wanted it. dont be mad at her for her style. just because it not like every other video doesnt mean she should make it over. LEAVE HER ALONE

» this comment was posted by lisa on august 7, 2006 1:52 pm «

Well the video is not as bad as the petition is making it but it also is not good! I just dont like the way the she is acting like a wild woman. If she does remake it , she needs to do a little less dancing especially if its she gonna do it that way!

DAMN.....sign a petition for a video....Hell No...Get a Job, a life, and a hobby and don't watch the freaking video.... Hello better things to do and more pressing issues in the world than Deja Vu....
