    i’m not crazy in love with the video…love her though…

  • Rachel

    Beyonce is a wonderful artist. But this video is the absolute worst. Don’t get me wrong I’m not tyrna hate, she looks crazy in this video and the “African Dancing” really doesn’t go with this kind of song. I really think she just was in a rush to get her music out and she didn’t take the time to really sit down and think about the video concept.

  • poonster

    WHOOP-DEE-DOO this summer is the worst for new music especially the U.S music industry. i.e Jessica Simpson Justin Timberlake Christina Agulara Pink PARIS HILTON PARIS HILTON and this Beyonce piece of crap all of their new releases suck,and don’t get me started with the rap crap..

  • hmmmm

    definately not. i’m not feeling her dancing goes with the song. and what is she f-in doing at the end?

  • LB

    Beyonce has star quality no doubt, and she can sing, but there is too much fast movement in this video. She should have just stayed close to her man throughout the video. But she looks like she was close to sexing him right in the video. Calm down B, we know you are crazy about him but damn! And get your weight back up, your body is looking too much like Toni Braxtons in this video. Get your thick legs and hips back. It suits you more in my opinion. The song is cool. Keep the hits coming.

  • fresh

    Beyonce brings the hits all the time and deja vu is definitly 1 of them! everyone can stop hating on her because shes doin her thing and she is the hottest female singer…she will be around for a long time so get use to it!! <3

    Beyonce this song is a hit and despite what everbody else say about this video I think you did your thang gurl keep it moving.

  • Somebody:)

    Beyonce is absoluty wonderfull at singing and dancing, but sorry i have to say this wasnt one of her best videos. I think she over did it and with the dancing i think she should of took it down a little. I understand maybe the point was to act crazy cause ur crazy for him and u thin its deja vu. but i think u should i played thinks more like going crazy in ur mind and showing it a different way then acting like a phyco. But on the plus side u do make good videos and are a anwesome singer. but not the bestest video u have made sorrry :)
    BYE.

  • Queen

    I thought the video started off slow but picked up at the end. I really like the song and I think its CUTE how is expressing to the world how in love she is with J.

  • ails xx

    omg how different does she look in this video

  • bronagh

    At the end of the day beyonce is a proessional with years of experience and she herself would no if the song was a dud therfore she wudnt hav gone through releasing it and if it becomes a hit which i think it is as all her songs hav been then every one leaving negative comments will be prove wrong and even if u dnt like it y waste ur time being dicks saying stuff like at let her do her thing and she’ll let u do ures y interfere if it hass fuk all 2 do wif u

  • Anonymous

    beyonce is beautiful the vid is great love u b dnt listen to these haters love 4ron uk

  • Dj

    this video is awsome, i know it aint the best shes done but its still pretty good.
    i agree with the idea of the crazy african dancing and that maybe it shouldn’t be there but that’s what the video is about… he’s crazy about him and can’t control herself, now answer this question, does she look as she’s dancing properly or without control? think about it and you’ll get the idea if u still dont get it.
    and about the looks, i agree she should get her legs and hips back, she looks much better with them than without them, doesnt she guys?

  • daniela

    that video of deja vu is gansta

  • http://fadedyouthblog.com Arasto

    White people don’t like the video because of the little African-inspired dance thing at the end. It offends their sensibilities. It’s ok though. Most of the time, people don’t like what they don’t know. So whatever….

  • dania stubs

    i love the song!

  • http://www.janelleavery.net j’anelle

    I love my girl beyonce, I really do. And this song has grown on me. ut the video gave me a headache. I just wanted to look at her but she was moving so much. I realy respect her and her growth as an artist though, and I think she can do no wrong, but I think the director should have given the video a little more of a focal point. Beyonce do your thing, keep it comin, I love you <33

  • Lammy

    well, I dont know that many people that prance around in Roberto Cavalli Dresses in fields and forests. Also Jay-z tries to act so cool like Beyonce is not good enough for him in the video. I mean here he goes again, she is looking sexy as ever trying to dance and seduce him and he is trying to look cool, trying to rap without giving her a look. I mean why does she bother looking hot like that for a man who thinks he is so cool. Next time I think they should do the video with him in a tight Roberto Cavalli number and have him jumping around while Beyonce ignores him. Same old rappers and bitches kind of video. Sorry Jay-z and Beyonce, try again. Next time wear clothes in the video that one can afford to dress in, most of your fans cant afford that look. Get real.

  • denna

    i absolutely LOVE and ADORE this video!!!!!!!! her dancing is awesome, her outfits r gorgeous she looks beautiful….. and on top of that she has my boy jay n the video and they look so happy and in love!!!!!!!!!!! beyonce really out did herself w/ this video. i think that she did really well and deserves her congrats 4 it!!!!!!!!!! good job b keep it up!!!!!!!!! :-)

  • Nikia Mitchell

    I really enjoy Beyonce videos all the time but this one she really killed it and she is so talented in her ways and some day i would really like to meet her face to face. And i even may like to reperform her Deja Vu at the ’07 awards like Monique did ’06 awards with Crazy in Love.that’s my dream!

  • xavier

    Hated it!!! Too much. She’s overboard trying to impress her boyfriend. She needs to stop!!

  • xavier

    Hated it!!! Too much. She’s overboard trying to impress her boyfriend. She needs to stop!!

  • jameela

    i love beyonce she is my favorite singer shes very talented and gorgeous. i love her uniqness but in this video i was very dissapointed i felt it was too dramatic and its nothing wroing with being different. but the theme really didnt match the video in my opinion . the only part i liked was when her and jay z was together. but im looking foward to the next video she comes out with and hopefully it will be better. i love you B and i have your posters all over my wall. keep up the good work!!!

  • http://none pancita

    listen up everyone.i know u all are entitle to ur opinion but guess what u have to try and understand beyonce.she dont love to give the samething all the time she loves to be creative and that she is.u cant expect her to give u the same thing all the time she wants to be different.the song is a fast beat song so what is the big deal about her dancing.u can see that beyonce love and enjoy what she is doing so she put her everything in it.she is a hard worker and i love the song i love the video.she is expressing how she feels so she is showing it.so all u critics who are rude about it get off her back ok.

  • bianca

    beyonce acts like shes crazy in love actng all crazy in that video

  • dj

    it is stupid

  • Renee’

    Okay, Beyonce’ always nail everything she does when it comes to music videos. She is an awesome entertainer, but the video, well……i’ll just say this……..this video is not on her best video list. I’ll just leave it like that.

  • VT

    I too was a bit taken back by Beyonce’s latest video. Indeed Beyonce is one of the greatest vocalists, dancers, songwriters that we have today, however. The Deja Vu video did not build on the wonderful talent that we’ve grown accustomed to. Beyonce is elegant, hip, classy, sophisticated, and much more. The choreography in Deja Vu left a great deal to be desired; it was overkill, and sorry to say, tasteless.

  • Kytten

    Well… I heard the song before I saw the video and I wish it stayed that way. I would turn that song all the way up and I kinda had in mind the way the video would flow…
    She needed choreography in there and I agree with one of the other comments, she’s overdoing it, while JayZ is playing nonchalant. The beat and the bass and the high hat make the song extremely audible, but the visual – I could do without.
    Is this from her album called “So Far”??

  • Janet

    I just love the vieo. It is original and Beyonce is very creative. The music, the dance, the clothes wowww!!!!!

  • niamh

    this video is reali good but the dancing isnt she looks funny but i think its 1 of her best songs and i cant get it out of ma head

  • Saghir

    this video and song is crazy!! beyonce always finds new ways to impress her fans though her music and songs!!
    well done B!!

  • Ky

    I really, really like Beyonce’, I think she is an awesome vocalist, and can take a note where no one has ever dreamed of especially on the Dangerously In Love CD. But honey, this video took me by surprise with you- it had no concept whatsoever. I know the single is titled Deja Vu, but it showed no moral to the story,just bouncing around doing nothing. Her choreography did not even make sense- and she normally has great choreography. But it is what it is!

  • Yaya

    this video is bullshit…..dancing around like she got ants in her pants, silly southern broad tryna impress a hood ni**a from BK….all she gotta do is “B” easy, doesnt she know that? jeez…..
    she needs a rmx video…..HATED IT!

  • vir2uousdiva

    Ok… i’m more upset with those outfits she’s wearing!! WTF!!! And the green tu tu?….
    BARF

  • Tiff – Tiff

    Loved the video, it definitely has an edge to it. most artists don’t have it in them to be daring, who wants to see the same thing all the time ? from what I hear she did the video in Louisiana because she wanted to give it a soulful feel, she did that. She was in the swamp on one of the scenes ( with aligators and snakes ),and it was very humid. The article says that she didn’t try to perfect her look at all, that was real sweat on her in the video! to me she just displayed her versatility, everyone has a wild side in ‘em……. don’t sleep on a classic !

  • http://- kim

    this song iz way kool u lot stink but i rekon beyonce rock on dis song

  • DANE

    i love this video and more so this girl.

  • Mizz Tee…

    I actually disagree with most of you….Her video is talking about a guy making her Deja Vu…(J) So its driving her crazy…wit just one thought of him…
    The african dancing goes excellent because its wild and crazy..and thats the concept of her video…GOING CRAZY…

  • TJ

    I LIKE THE SONG A LITTLE MORE EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT, BUT THE VIDEO IS CRAZY AS HELL. IT DOESN’T GO WITH THE SONG

  • Just Me

    I have no problem with the video. It’s her shrilly voice I have a problem with. The video was made to look like a video love fest of Beyonce in different outfits so that we wouldn’t notice her shrilly voice.

  • CH

    Hated it!!!!!! Redo the video B.

  • Jasz

    The video was a HOT ASS MESS, it made no damn sense & the shit made me dizzy! Had nothing to do with Deja Vu; alls she doing is going through a whole fucking closet of clothes. Video was whack but I ain`t hating on the song because I like the song, but that video -pshk. HELL NO!
    Where is the petition that calls for a fucking “re-shoot”

  • Shauniekaye

    I love the song, the video….the african dance was great (back to the roots). Glad it doesn’t look like anything she’s done so far, glad she didn’t play it safe…..loved that it was risque and avant garde….the artist eye can truly appreciate…BEE, the rest of the world will catch up some day…by then you’ll be doing something different and they’ll have to try and catch up once more…:)

  • Sharra stapleton

    I think that beyonce can sing, but I dont think she can dance at all. In fact she very overrated. I’m a dancer and and a film major so I analyzed her really well. First of I absolutley loved the song, but the video did not match. Deja vu means soemthing that reminds you of something or someone. It did not show this in the video. Also the editing was really crazy. Usually the editing changes to the beat of the music, but it didn’t. she atleats had six different locations in one segment of the video. I dont think they used a steady cam because their were alot of mistakes in the camera movement. If she was going to do African dance in the video she should have at least had african drums as an instrument in her song. Also her outfits were outrageous and looked really out of place. also her and jay z makes the worst couple in the world. Her song are really good she dont need to include him in her songs or her video. the one thing that I did like was that she was by herself dancing instead of having a whole bunch of unnecessary backup dancers

  • Raven

    Yo this video is the shit dont hate bitches she did loose too much fuckin weight though she look like a giraffe and the song and video is the shit though you go BEYONCE.

  • Katie

    One of the WORST videos I’ve ever seen. I dislike Beyonce even more than before. I did not want to see this video,but when everyone was talking about how bad it was, I decided I needed to see it. This video had no time or effort put into it.
    I believe that Beyonce should have stepped up and said that she deserved more for her video and that she wanted better! Even though I didlike Beyonce, I think that they should remake this video and do better and actually put some money into it!

  • myria

    i think da video doesn’t really go with the ”african dance” but i do like it n i like da song so uhh,Jasz u can juss shut da ‘f’ up b/c ain’t nobody ask fo yo opinion muah… luv yah

  • camilly

    this video is so sexy and goes amazingly with the song – some of the lyrics are- i’m out of control so she’s meant to look “crazy” in her video.
    i think its perfect and is her best track yet
    xxx

  • Lesliee Simone Negash

    The video is excellent…as usually she puts the tired sisters of all creeds to shame. She is viewed from 4 Quadrants, basically, her African, and Negro-Spanish, touch of Caucasion, AmericanIndian heritage. If you’re mixed breed you’ll understand my point.

  • kelle

    this song is so awsome keep it up beyonce

  • Kim

    Ok. It’s amazing how the media can make people think that one person is the best songwriter, singer, actress, or whatever at the present time. Now I will admit that I do listen to Beyonce’s songs b/c they can be catchy. But she is not an innovator. That title can be given to artists like Alicia Keys. But back to Beyonce. When I heard Deja Vu, I thought it was ok until she was singing out of her range and started sounding out of pitch. Then I caught her on MTV to premiere the video. And I hated it b/c after watching it, I was dizzy. Too much going on. Then she said that she came up with the concept and did her own choreography. She also admitted to completing her entire cd in two weeks. She did not even tell her father that she was recording it . Now you all know that in the past, her father made the decisions. And honestly, I think she should keep it that way. And I will admit the Beyonce is a true artist when she stop using her beauty and body to sell her music. And she is not reinventing herself. Janet Jackson comes to mind when I think of that word. With every album, Janet came out with a different look and sound (for example, Control to Rhythm Nation to Janet. to Velvet Rope) And either you liked it or not, but she brought something new to the music industry. So to Beyonce, I wish for her to take a break. I, personally, don’t want her to be overwork herself and do an overkill of her career like Mariah. I think she should take time out to reflect, appreciate her blessings, and enjoy time with Jay. You know experience new things so she can have more material. Then maybe she will be able to release an album focusing on her music and not her body parts since that’s what she wants. And normally what B wants, B gets. Remember, this is only my opinion. We all can agree to disagree.

    keep doin ur thang b. dont let the haters stop ya. i didnt kno the human body could bend that far without breakin’. i think u’ve truly outdone urself. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • fancytancy

    I think Beyonce’s singing out of her range on the song although it’s still catchy. The video doesnt make sense (she looks beautiful & I’m proud of her for getting more in shape) but why won’t JayZ look at her in the video? Why is she in Louisiana doing everything she’s ever learned in dance classes? Why wasn’t she on beat? I’m not sure what kind of video I expected to go with the song but that wasn’t it; not my favorite video…

    beyonce is amazing at what she does and her videos say it all i really like her new video deja vu and she look great doin her dance and to all the females puttin negative comments about her doing her thang i’d like to see yall haters do it better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DEEROC

    GET A LIFE PEOPLE. THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS SO BRAINWASHED BY THE CONSTRAINTS OF WHAT RECORD LABELS CONSIDER A MUSIC VIDEO. TO CREATE A PETITION & FORCE A MUSICIAN TO CHANGE THE ART THEY HAVE PRESENTED TO THE WORLD IS LIKE TELLING A PAINTER TO TRASH HIS PAINTING BECAUSE WE THE PUBLIC DO NOT AGREE WITH HIS ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. OUR JOB AS A FAN, AS AN ART LOVER, IS TO WATCH THE ART & INTERPET, NOT JUDGE. TO JUDGE MAKES ALL 3000 OF YOU ARE JUST AS EVIL AS THE RECORD LABELS WHO FORCE THESE MUSICIANS, THESE ARTIST, TO CREATE WHAT THEY FEEL THE PUBLIC WANTS. ARTIST DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES TRULY, INSTEAD THEY ARE CONSTRAINED TO THE CARBON COPIES THAT R&B/HIP-HOP ARTIST HAVE BECOME. I APPRECIATE & RESPECT THOSE ARTIST WHO TRULY STEP OUT THE BOX & TRY TO CHANGE THE MUSICAL & VISUAL ARTISTRY THAT THEY REPRESENT. IF ANY OF YOU HAD HALF A BRAIN, YOU WOULD PETITION AGAINST THESE RECORD LABELS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE ARTIST, WE LOVE, TO TRULY EXPESS THEMSELVES. I AM NOT DEFENDING BEYONCE, IAM DEFENDING ART. AND FOR ALL YOU WHITEYS WHO KNOW NO BETTER, IN THE VIDEO, SHE IS FUSING AFRICAN CULTURE WITH MODERN DANCE, AND IT IS ABOUT TIME HER & HER BOYFRIEND GET IT ON. THEY HAVE SPENT YEARS KEEPING THIER RELATIONSHIP OUT OF THE HEADLINES & FINALLY THEY GIVE YOU A TASTE OF THEIR PASSION & YOU SHIT ON IT … FUCKIN’ IDIOTS

  • Antonio

    The video was stupid and Jay Z never did justice to the rap section! Many people are saying white people would not understand the concept of the dance, but I am black and I hate this video. It is stupid. Who cares if she is beautiful. You have to look at the video and not be so into her beauty. The video is stupid and thats the truth. her dancing was dumb. The Deja vu concept, never made any sense either!

  • claybie

    I loved the video i loved the clothes and most of all i loved the dancing !!!! i really loved the part when she was in the sand with the green tutu also when they showed her back in the begginingI think all these critics need to stop hattin

  • chastity

    This video wasn’t the best but wasn’t the worst either. Even though she did mess up on this one, she can still be famous for her other lyrics. Im all for you girl! GO MAKE SOME MORE LYRICS AND SHOW THESE PEOPLE HOW BEYONCE CAN GET IT DOWN!!!!!

  • Anonymous

    Video was WACK!!! Song was ok…Jay Z’s part was ok…but Beyonce’s part was annoying. It just gets me mad when i hear the song and i just scratch my head when im watching the video. I mean wtf is she doing..i think she went literally crazy in the head to be dancing like that. I mean the girl is definately talented and hot as hell, but u can’t just do any video and think its gonna be great because of your status. I hate the video..song could be better with out the annoying high pitch of B. Bad move on her part.

  • Anonymous

    Beyonce is a great singer and performer and has amazing stage presense…and although her latest hit Deja Vu is a really nice song the video was kinda wack i must admit. i´m not hating on her i am a really big fan of hers but that video was a lilttle too much.

  • RINNA

    beyonce is hot and is the best singer oll the world
    i just want say
    go you are number one
    i love beyonce / rinna

  • Hunh

    First of all let me just start off by saying Beyonce definitely killed it in this video!!! This song is hot, and I would not expect any different from her!!! It’s also a lot of people hatin which i expect too because when your number one people can’t stand it!!! Also that comment about white people not liking it because of the little african dance that she does, how stupid do yall sound!! If you didn’t know, when she was shakin her butt in the ‘crazy in love’ video that was from an African dance too, and i bet every white person in that whole ignorant neighborhood was doing that dance with no problem!!! Beyonce is hot and everybody that was hatin on her in this chat room probably turns Deja Vu up louder than I do!! Yall probably know the whole dance too!!

  • http://www.2k6-missdramatic-nw10.moonfruit.com DEANNE

    I love this song 100% i dont care what anyone thinks because everyone has different opinions i think this is one of Beyonce’s best compared to songs on her first solo album- dont get me wrong some of the tunes were nice and all but some needed more work. Beyonce’s my favourite singer so im going 2 like practically all of her songs

  • stephanie

    anybody no where i cud get a dress like the one in this video, the long red one, with blck on it??????????
