Beyonce feat. Jay-Z - Deja Vu (full) - download / alternate
***UPDATE: Full CD quality version uploaded.

Finally, it’s here! The track that people all over the world have been waiting for, “Deja Vu,” Beyonce’s highly anticipated first single from her forthcoming sophomore album, “B’Day,” out for her birthday. I’m really feeling it. It’s different from Rodney Jerkins, it sounds a bit like Rich Harrison.

Yeah I’m not feeling it either. It’s missing something, I just can’t put my finger on it.

I know the video is going to be banging though.

It is okay but this will be overplayed.LOL Brian is soo dramatic peope all over the world has been waiting to hear. Sounds like Mathew LOL Just kidding.

I mean I expected more though. I am kind of tired of her talking about J I wish hse would have came with something different.

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

I’m not feelin it… yet. It sounds like she got mad, went and snatched up a mike and started yelling it. But strangely enough I know it will grow on me. I hated Check Up On it when I first heard it, now it’s cool. Chick must be gradually brainwashing us everytime we hear it.

20.

I really don’t like this song like someone else said it is a watered down version of CIL. But hopefully it is not a refletion of her whole cd.

#18..when I first heard “Check On it” I did not like it at first. But the more you listen it will grow on you!

I heard this earlier today and I don’t know I am not into it. But the video will be good just hopes she doesn’t booty bounce in it.LOL.

Actually people all over the world have indeed been waiting for it. Beyonce is an international superstar so it’s not like Brian is exaggerating when he says that shut up and stop putting people down! I guess everyone has different music tastes and you can’t really knock that but I know that I absolutely love it. I have been playing it over and over. You already know its going to be successful single and I agree that the video is definitely going to be hott she always delivers in her music videos.

25.

Izzy

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

This is not a good first single yes it is DejaVu cuz it sounds like a generic CIL. But it will do well b/c it is Beyonce.

26.

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

this song is definetly going to have to grow on you. It seems to be missing the edge that we had come to expect from B but she has a huge fan base so she’ll be all right

27.

shan

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

I’m not impressed. It seems like she was singing out of her range, so she had to start screaming.

I love it! It’s hot! It’ll be a summer hit just like “Crazy In Love”. Though it is reminiscent of it, they’re different & u can definitely hear the growth & progression. Rock on, B! I love ya!

31.

As far as the song. I am not liking it either may be it will grow on me. I better not say that or else Shayla will hit me.LOL.

I tried to give her another chance and listen to the whole song, butI’m still not feelin it @ all! I love jay 2 death, but I hate that he’s on this song! His verse was kinda wack! This song is just WACK, period… But I’m sure she’ll have a hot video!

35.

BonitaAppleBum

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

I like it but I pray it doesn’t get played out on the radio cuz that’s makes me not even want to but the album it they overplay shyt…I know it will though *sighs*

36.

ummm

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

lalala that was very unnecessary

Beyonce-The song is okay nothing spectacular.

37.

Tisha

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

It is okay it is kind of repetitive and boring.

Hoepfuly her next single is better.

38.

Brian

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

yeah, I didn’t mean that people all ove the world literally are waiting for beyonce to come out with this song, I’m sorry if it appeared that way! I just meant that y’know, she’s known all over the world and a lot of people were waiting for it to leak, y’know?

anyways, I like the full version more than the clip. I definitely think there is something missing from it, it doesn’t hit as hard as “crazy in love,” but I like all the horn samples.

just like “crazy in love” grew on me, I’m sure this will.

39.

harlemtwin81

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

It’s ok but I’m sure it’ll sell and the video will be cute. It may take a hot minute to grow on me like “Crazy in Love” and “Check up on it.” Those songs were goond but they weren’t that good when I first heard them- but because it’s Beyonce, people listen to it. If someone else would try to do some of her songs, it won’t work at all.

40.

Ariel

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

I listened to this about 5 times and I still can’t get into it she’s okay but she does not have the voclas to sound good screaming.

WTF is up with Jay that was horrible.

41.

Sha

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

Well I’m a big bee fan. And um, I didn’t care for crazy in love when I first heard it, but it grew on me something serious. So I’ll learn to love it. But its just ok to me. I do like the end after Jay was rapping though. It’ll grow on me. And yeah, it’s Beyonce, it’s GOING to be a summer banger.

well it is better than the clip but I feel as though I am dissapointed I mean serioulsy I really don’t like this song and I have been giving it a chance.

Janet is coming and B better come out with a second single cuz this one ain’t getting it at least for me.

46.

Lala

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

Can’t feel the song at all.It sounds like a rush rush production to me or she thought she was doing something spectacular,but no,I guess that’s why she needs “back up band” to cover up the poor album!!!!!!I’d advise everyone to wait for Janet’s new album instead,it will be the hit of the year.

47.

Shannon

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

I like it a lot. However, i wouldn’t suggest it for her first single seeing as its pretty much the same subject as “Crazy In Love.” But Angela is right, the video WILL BE DOPE.

51.

You is fucking crazy LMAO.

Well I don’t know it is okay but it does not matter it will do well like Check on it. Is Beyonce Brainwashing people seriously Check on it was garbage.

But I wish she would step up her lyrical content and come up with something different this osunds like a mesh of her old songs.

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

Word @ Angel, the song seems to be missin’ somethin’. And I hate Jay on tracks like this, it’s not his style.

And I’m with y’all on that pic. WTF is she doin’ with Jay’s DNA drippin’ from her fingertips?? I fuckin’ hate those ‘boulevard ho’ long-ass nails.

The song is aight…but you can’t really expect much when the girl said she did the whole album in like 3 days (that’s an exaggeration! lol). I feel like all she has done the past few years is rush in the studio and throw a whatever together even with DC. I wonder what her albums would have sound like if she spent a couple of months on ‘em like most artist. If she did that maybe she could make an album better then ‘The Writings On The Wall’. Just my personal opinion.

60.

Cassius25

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

Well Everybody knows she gonna get alot of flack for putting Jigga Man on her 1st single Notice After they started dateing he didn’t put her on his last album. People expect that so why give it to them! I’m sure’s shes gonna rule the summer and expect her to “Suprise Perform this at the Bet Awards and Ofcourse she gonna do the MTV Awards…. but with all the music that Brian has been posting u would have thought she would have blown the other acts out the water!!!!! Time will tell if she will outdo “Dangerously In Love”

Exactly it is like you expect more from her and this is what you get.
She should have spent more than 3 weeks cuz Destiny’s fulfilles was not good IMO>

LMAO Well Letoya got her lil shine for about a month of two I guess daddy Knowles felt that was to long and decided to drop this Beyonce track. I kind of feel bad for Letoya because ya’ll know once a Beyonce track it’s released its going to blow up and she is going to take the spotlight.

What is the use of stating our thoughts and feelings about the song really? You already know in a matter of weeks its going to be number #1 on the billboard charts just like check on it I think everyone I knew hated that song but Beyonce is beyonce all her records do well. I kinda like the song it will have to grow on me but I wish her the best on her career I will be picking up a copy of her album at my local target.

She did an interview with some magazine a while back, and they asked her what could they expect on her new Album. She said she was inspired by the movie dreamgirls, and that her new CD wasnt going to be to get the buying public to go crazy. She said she already achieved all the accolades she wanted with her Solo Cd. So if it doesnt go to numbe 1, people are having heart attacks when they listen to it, and it doesnt sell a billion records. That she is totally ok, becuz shes done all the stuff already. She said this album was for her becuz she was getting restless and wanted to put out some new music. I like the song, But I’m also not suprised that the song is giving anti beyonce, and neutral beyonce fans all the artillary they need to hate. Her fans will enjoy the song, If not the world will keep on moving.

***Officially happy and content with Deja Vu. Job well done Beyonce***

If the public hates your first single, Oh well thats thier problem. Its your album, so you release whichever songs u like in the order you like.

74.

Harlem Sultana

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

lol @ #52 ‘boulevard ho nails’

Check On It is a garbage ass song. No grown ass 25 y/o woman should be singing that. She has definintely regressed and people let her get away with it too. The quality of her music is quite catchy but nonetheless really crappy. She is no diva. Whitney with the drug habit and cracked out family still has a leg up on her.

75.

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

well i tell u like this if you like the song or not it is going to sell millions..i feel coming from such a profound artist this song should be poppin..it should not have to grow on you..bu ti may be wrong..anyways i like beyonce sometimes and this is just not doing it..but i can bet with promotion we all know this song will be #1 for 30 yrs…

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

LOL @ #52 and 70.

Also Angel.La and Brian are right something is missing. Let me take a guess at it, maybe it is the fact that she shows no range. (I am not sure what is the word for what I want to say) But may it is the same tone. The lyrics sucked and Jay-Z (her man) should have atleast tried. Maybe if the album bomb she will finally marry him, if they are not already married. Thats probably what he was thinking when he did those verses. But as most of us know, we all are going to have a copy of that album as soon as it drop.

78.

Tyrone Biggums

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

Angel whats wrong with Jay Z verse??? What the hell is he supposed to rap about on a track like this. And the song is mediocre at best. Aint no club banger or nothing, single could have been better.

She could have done better for a first single. Why the hell is she screaming like that! What the hell is up with Jay? He could have done better to. Maybe this is that sophmore jinks that people talk about.

With Janet and Latoya dropping, I think it’s going to be good compition, people should not count them out. This song is NOT makeing me want to buy the album.

Everybody thought Jay was the second coming when Reasonable Doubt came out then when he dropped his second album it was TRASH!!! He had to make a comeback to.

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

I keep listening trying to like it, but I just don’t. Maybe after the video I will. I didn’t like Buttons (pussy cat dolls) until I saw the video, now I love it.

The radio will probaly play it 1000 times a day and make everybody like it. LMAO.

87.

kammie

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

Having a live band will definately make this a better song, and I’m no beyonce fan. The instruments in the song are tight, but of course people were expecting some over the top song.

Jay Z’s verse destroys the whole damn song. Why come out like you did the last time Bey? THat’s how you know when a person is not a REAL ARTIST. JUST LIKE WHEN SHE PUT DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE ON HER SOLO ALBUM…THAT SHIT WAS ALREADY ON THE DC ALBUM!! SHE KNOWS SHE COULDN’T COME UP WITH A BETTER SONG.

88.

Tuesday, June 13, 2006 /

Ok…I LOVE Beyonce…just as much as the next black gay man…but…this song is sooooooooooooooo mediocre…i like it…when it comes on the radio I’ll sing it…but its not a song I will WAIT 4…like I did wit Bossy, and Torn, and Number 1 and now Crazy…and plus wit Christina doin her thing and Janet and Justin on the way…Beyonce better have an AMAZING video to support this…cuz…Janet…even though ya’ll may not expect it or think that she’s washed up…is comin wit some HEAT 4 the summer…trust!!! and Justin has been off for almost 4 years…u KNOW he got some heat…she better get it together…I LOVE my B…but this song is not IT…its….boring…

If you get it off Limewire you can transfer it to your itunes.

I keep listening as well and I still don’t like it. I think the words are corney and have no depth. Not even Jay’s words are saying something.

It also keeps reminding me of an old school song but I can’t put my finger on it. Anybody else getting and old school vibe from this?

That bass line is so funky. Whoever played that killed it! This is not a watered down version of CIL, whatcha’ll hearing? I can see myself popping my neck in the car riding down I-20. Great track, not her best, but good opening act.

i am sorrie, even tho it is growin on me, its still not as tite as i thought it was gonna be…

in all honesty, she shouldve released this song for Pink Panther, by herself and then had Check On It her first single with Jay instead of Bun B…just my opinion…

Christina won first single round to me…now…its all on Janet. and seein as how “Call On Me” hasnt leaked yet…its lookin like it might be Janet’s Summer/Year/Tour…we shall see.

But Beyonce….forreal tho? Deja Boo!

I like it and it is the kind of song to grow on you. Once the video comes out it will blow up. Agree though about JayZ’s verse he could have saved that, doesnt fit the song at all!

I HEARD IT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON V103 LAST EVENING IN IT’S ENTIRETY AND I’M NOT A HUGE BEY FAN, BUT I LOVE THIS SONG. HER VOCAL ABILITIES IN THIS SONG IS AMAZING. SOMEONE WROTE YESTERDAY THAT SHE WAS STRAINING HER VOICE, BUT SHE ISN’T. SHE JUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO SING AT A HIGH PITCH. NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT NO-SINGING AMERIE SINGING IN HIGH PITCH ON “ONE THING”, WHICH IT SOUNDED LIKE SHE NEEDED TO COUGH AFTER SHE FINISHED THE SONG BECAUSE HER THROAT WAS BURNING…LOL

It’s not one of the best songs from Beyonce…..even the Pink Panther track Check On It is better than this one. Not the best choice for a first single. I still maintain that they should have chosen that song with Big Boi for the first single off Dangerously In Love…and I’m sure there is another song from B’Day that should have been chosen as the first single.

i just listened to this song. for beyonce, it’s actually not too bad, and i’m no fan. i don’t like her in her higher register, but i’m just glad she wasn’t cramming 20 words into one line, (no, no, no; cater 2 u; check on it; etc)

that aggravates the h*ll out of me.

I’m kind of bias because I love Bee, so you know I am feeling this song! It doesn’t automatically grab you like Crazy In Love but the beat is hot, kind of retro, and her voice makes any song a hit. My only complaint is Jay-Z being on the song. Jay-Z is cool and all but with him being on the song it’s like they’re trying to make Crazy In Love Pt. 2 and I think she should have came out on her own for her first single, that’s just my opinion. But anyway, definitely feeling the song and like it, love it, or hate it, you can bet this song will be played constantly throughout the summer, especially if the video’s hot.

Oh, and LOL at #107’s comment. I love Beyonce but she does do that!

I love the song but I must say i was expecting so much more. I see she is tyring to get back to that real R&B with the live instrument sound but I was really anticipating something bangin’. I still love it but I do believe she had something much hotter than this to be her first single. When you read the reviews by Sean Garret who wrote with her, he kept talkin about the second single being crazy so I’m sure she’ll revive herself with the second single. But i think she tore the song down vocally, it is still hot.

I like the song! Even though she’s yelling at the end (which kinda annoys me) I can still see me bumpin this song in my car on the way to the club. Can’t wait to hear Janet’s first single to see which one I like more. I hope Janet brings it

120.

I LIKE HER VOICE, THE BEAT but jayz shouldn’t have been featured on the song because its like “crazy in love” but its still good! 5 stars bey

This track is so hot. I think Beyonce is coming with a lot of fire. It does feel a little like deja vu. Kind of CIL sequel but nonetheless I love this song.

124.

natalia

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

^yea, I just had to come back and say that this song is FIRE. It’s a certified hit. I’m not even a die hard Beyonce fan like that but you can’t deny that she is VERY consistent.

125.

natalia

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Oh and Angel I love Jay’s part. But then again I’m a die hard Jay fan :X

126.

Tianna

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Ok I’m listening to it again and she is coming with fire. She sounds hot on it. I know the video will make this a certified hit.

127.

Tianna

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

The beat is hot I must say as well

128.

Angel.La

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Yeah it’s one of those songs that grow on you, because it doesn’t sound that bad as it did yesterday. lol.

I still standby what I said about Jay though, he could have done better.

129.

Tianna

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Jay sounds good in his 1st part…I could’ve done without the second part tho.

Tyron

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Beyonce’s songs are definetly the growin types of songs. CIL, Check On It, Work It Out. When I first heard all of those songs I was like WTF but after seein the videos and hearing it again I loved it. I hated CIL until the video. lol I’m sure this will be a huge hit for Bee next year. good luck sexy!!

131.

steve

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

it’s alright. jay’s part is average

Tamika

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

I actually like the song, a couple of repeat listens will have it stuck in your ear. I’m looking forward to the video. My only question is why is the single out so early when the album drops in September?

133.

I could have done without Jay-Z being on the song, period. But that’s her man, so, oh well.

That just lets you know that she differientates from what’s out there now. That’s what making her successful. She continues to set trends.

I had to listen to it a few times, but now I’m loving it! I wasn’t feeling Crazy In Love at first but then it was on continued play in my house.

I can’t wait to see her perform this live. BET AWARDS??? hmmmmm

141.

Ricky

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

You know what’s funny Ashanti Fans are hating the hell out of this song. Thjey think she is gonna come back and eclipse the hell out of B.

Britney Fans are hating the hell out of Xtina’s new song and they think she will come back and takeover once again.

I just find this hilarious that it all.

The song is cool but it is missing something.

142.

MidwifeAKA

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Oh Damn! That was the WORST! Trash, B just yelled the whole song. But, I guess she’s actually using her own voice on the track. Or maybe she recorded the track after she heard LaToya joint Torn, and was just super pissed at its hotness :)

143.

Bryce

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

WTF is up with Jay he need to come harder than that.
The song is aiight nothing special
Britney and Ashanti fans are delusional.

144.

Lola

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

I was like that with Xtina’s new song I was like I don’t like this but it is different from everything that is out there after a few listens I loove the song.

The same for Beyonce I think it will just have to gorw on me and other people as well.

145.

Tyron

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Ashanti can’t lift a finger to Bee!! She neva could and what makes it worse is that she reps my hood LI. Ashanti’s music is just like Cassie’s. She sounds exactly the same in every song. That’s what happens when an R&B artist is guided by a hip-hop label.

146.

keezy

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

it seems to me like she was singing with something else. like she was really feeling it. like if she sang any harder, her vocal chords would rip.

147.

epee

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Its Str8. Like the horns in the back ground. Its catchy. Shes got this shyt down to a science. She knows how to pick the right tracks to keep us hummin her hits like..

uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.. remember..lol

148.

milehighbrotha

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Ok, I have played this song a few times and I have to say I like it….it does not sound like CIL….I love the real instruments on the track and the sample (I’m not sure its Heartbreak Hotel)…its a good song BUT IMO, I think the new Christina Aguerila song, “Ain’t No other Man” is a better song. I don’t see this song as a number 1 song but who knows…its definitely a top five song….

149.

Lola

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

I think Beyonce should have left Jay out though just my opinion but I am so excited my two Fave Artists are coming out B and Xtina it is going to be a good summer for me.

nic

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

now earlier I said, she could have done better but for some damn reason I keep singing that damn chorus over and over and I keep going to beyonceonline to her the clip of it. Damn it must some hypnotizing going on. But I still say, we all know Bey could riff her ass off, I was surprised that she didnt kill it with the riffs towards the end she kind of held back but damn…cant get over you, love like dejavu damn i cant stop.

152.

Eyeisha

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

OMG yall I feel the same exact same way about the song because yesterday when I came on here and listened to I didn’t comment but I was like its okay but I was not really feeling it but when I went to sleep it was alllllll in my head I woke up singing it and I just had to hear it and I realized that I am really feeling this song its very hot. I am definitely going to pick up a copy of the new album support my girl bee on September 5th do your thing girl!!

153.

Lea

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

I don’t know what my ears are hearing, but I loved this song the first second I heard it and I’m no beyonce fan; But I bet Beyonces album is only gonna have 4 or 5 good songs like her last garbage solo album.

I’m just getting tired of Jay Z spitting these verses that have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the message of the song! Did he even LISTEN to the song before he added his 2 cents?? I said the same thing about Crazy in Love..

156.

Me

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Maybe the second single will be okay…this one is just not a good song for a first single. That’s what she gets for trying to recreate the same fame from CIL, all everyone is going to do is compare it to CIL. A real artist grows on every record. Beyonce is stuck in the same pop nonsense music zone. Kinda like when she put Dangerously in Love on her solo album after it already appeared on the DC album. What…She couldn’t come up with another beautiful balad?

157.

Dave

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 /

Im scared cuz i love Beyonce the total package. I heard the song today for the first time and was disappointed. This song cant touch crazy in love and her managment should know that if you are going to release a song that follows the same format you better make damn sure its much better than its predecessor. I think they are suffering from the beleif that B. and jay can do no wrong together but this song has proven that wrong. This song is the one thing that Haters have been looking for, a valid reason to doubt B. I sincerely hope they make put out a new single.

Thursday, June 15, 2006 /

yo most of u know nothing about rap, first its a pop r&b record, wat did u expect Jay to rap about. His flow was on point and the lyrics stayed light and simple yet witty like on “Crazy in love”. Also B i think is trying to show her singing ability on this track, cuz “Crazy in Love” could have been sang by Ciara and been a hit.

Hello board, I am a big Hov fan. What i mean by fan, is I love his music his flow is sick if you really listen to his lyrics. I’ve never brought a Destiny’s Child or Beyonce cd and i doubt i ever will, but i do like her music; however this song is too much. The beat is all over the place and something is missing in it, it sounds rushed to me. His rap on this is so WHACK i cant believe he did it! I guess we all have bad days ha?

169.

Beyonce song is gonna be no#1 because Mr.Knowles definatly paying for the advertisement, I’m sure most of the radio DJ’s dont want to hear her music but hey those jocks need a paycheck.Right now it Beyonce time to shine wheater we like it or not but like they alway say shit only last for seasons and right now its her season.

Friday, June 16, 2006 /

Hey everybody!

I don’t really care for this song. I hope the album is better than this, she is doing all that screaming at the end like she got tired. Anyway, to the comments about Letoya getting blown away by this song I don’t think so! She just released a remix of “Torn” by Jermaine Dupri featuring Slim Thug that is hot!! She just released it yesterday and this song has nothing on it. I would have rathered Kelly come out than Beyonce.I think she needed some time to really work on her album being so busy with the movies and stuff . The song is lacking and it sounds like a rough draft of how it’s supposed to sound.

You guys this song has just been leaked on the radio here in DC and they have already played it like 500 times withing the past three days. It’s like they are forcing you to like this song and everyone hates it here. This is definitely a skip on the CD.

This song is OKAY!!! I think my expectations might just be to the ceiling for B though, cause for anyone else it would be super hot, but for some reason for B it’s just OKAY… I feel like I’ve heard it before… I think the summer is still open, as far as who’s going to own it… Right now I’m feeling “Promiscuious” and I’m loving Gnarls Barkely… Let’s see what Monica,Letoya (besides Torn), Janet and Ciara will be bringing for the summer before we give the crown to B once again, cause this song is definitely beatable, in my opinion….

And please don’t call me a hater, cause I am a fan of Bey, this song is …hey kinda like Deja Vu!!!
