There’s been soooo many opinions about this video thought I’d voice mine as well….okay to start off like some have said before if you don’t really follow REAL fashion(I’m not talkin about billboard tops and jeans either!) and couture clothing you wont get it BOTTOM LINE! I’m majoring in fashion design and as far as the outfits go I loved it, it was different creative and sumthin new other than the whole “rims,ice and booty shakin” concept which in my view is getting very OLD and TIRED…but anyway the dancin i will say is different something new again…I think the problem is that some people get so use to the typical female artist video (singing to the guy, crying , chasing him around, and looking pitiful) that they can’t put the mind around the fact sumone wants to do something different other than the “typical” video…Lastly Jay-z did look uninterested but hey maybe there was a reason for that…but anyway I like the song, the video is koo, and thats it.It’s something new and something that really isnt being done, some people shouldnt be soo set in their ways and open their mind up a lil be to accept something different .

I love beyonce and all..but that video is weird! and it doesnt make any sense! not that most videos make sense these days. nothing in that video (or the song for that matter) has anything to do with a de ja vous!….i dont really like that video..i dont like the song either.
But i do like the part where shes dancing around and touching on Jay Z and hes not paying her any mind. i think that part was cool and kinda funny! very cute
i hope her 2nd single and video are better. i still love her though!

Jay Z makes Beyonce look like she’s just anohter video HO in her own video. Beyonce is just trying way to hard to be different. it looks forced and ridiculous. It looks like she has Tourette syndrome.

omfg, this video sux!! the whole running through a grass field thing….its like mariahs butterfly. but i cant blame beyonce. the song was written & recorded in 20 mins so it sounded awful. An awful video to match is pretty much the icing on the cake !! LOL!! But I am a huge fan so all I hope is that ‘Ring The Alarm’ is better. Swiss Beats is producin so of course its gonna be hot

All I can Say is 456 Now 457.Beyoncé You got it.Okay it’s real that jay z doen’t even look at beyoncé in the video but honestly the most of us are adults here right?this thing between rihganna and jay z it’s just impossible .the Voice she got it .try to sing it by yourself and see ;it’s so easy to try to bring her down.She’s looking good,she has a great voice although she hasn’t this thing who makes a Artist a legend(M.J,barry White,marvin gaye)after all whe should be happy for her;she’s a black american woman and she’s doing her thing.I prefer Her ompare to britney so keep on doing Your thinb B

I really didn’t want to post until I read:
WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE HATE TO SEE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE COME UP. WE CANT BE A STAGNATE RACE, WHICH WE ARE BECOMING. THE RACE THAT S GETTING PASSED BY…… WHY CUZ WE HATE ON EACH OTHER. WE GOT BROTHERS HATING ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS HATING ON SISTERS, EVIL HAS OVERTAKEN US……..
I respect your exaggerated opinion however, I fully disgaree with your lack of introspection pertaining to your latest comment made.This is not about race and if, you would like to include that topic into this dicussion than you are mistaken because I do not feel like Beyonce is pursuing her best efforts in permoting a conscious image about black women in general. When I think of a strong black woman who is extremly talented and smart,trust me….(DING) does not come in mind.I do not believe everybody is hating on her and yes…black people need to stick together but we must not sell our souls for money and most importantly never settle for less.Everything that glitters is not gold.I do not mean to preach but I think your concept with reality is lacking. Don’t get me wrong I take nothing away from the girl but her current video lacks orginality and creativity….it does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.I plead the 5th amendment because I am entitled to freedom of speech.Unlike you I am a rebel with out a cause and I don’t conform to society’s ways. Low and behold I have a brain…
I am a avid fan of all black artist but I refuse to listen,buy music, and watch a video that degrades black women.Stop allowing the media to tell you what to think.I think you have watched that Deja’ Vu video one to many times because now you are starting to hallucinate. A wack video is a wack video but good music speaks for itself.The object of the game is to think outside the box note:(OutKast music)…. I understand why you are a fan of (DING) because you and her both don’t mind being catergorized. If you don’t stand for something than you will fall for anything.(DING) said, “Her African dance moves in the video was inspired by Josephine Baker”…(I had to laugh)because if you would like to see theatrical performers and black art in it’s truest form then you should go to the Alvin Aley Theater because Deja’ Vu is a far cry from it.
The Beyotche said,”Recognize Me For My Talent, Not My Looks” but recites explict dances moves and walks around in skimpy clothes.She is consistently contradicting herself but now she wants to be taken serious…please
I think (DING) and her mother despised their nationality when they dismissed being african american and referred to themselves as: “CREOLE”.

I’m Beyonce’s biggest fan!… As much as I love her, I must say, I was disappointed in the video. I mean, here she is singing a hardcore dancing song, yet, throughtout most of the video she’s in slowmotion… and…. I just think the whole thing is tacky. It’s obvious she was modeling her clothing line (which is so expensive)…But by all means, her beauty and dancing talent is defintly highlighted in this video. She just needs a better concept.

This video was retarded…it may have been called African Dancing at the end but it looked like she was having a fit! There’s high fashion (couture) and then there’s a bunch of ugly clothes. Every outfit she had on was horrible. Trying to be like Jospehine Baker she couldn’t move that good if she tried. And there is no need to put Shakira’s name in this Beyonce couldn’t move like that if she wanted to. Shakira moves her hips without breaking a sweat. Beyonce sounds better than her that’s for sure. But B to me doesn’t have a soulful voice she sounds like she’s screaming at the end trying to get some soul and strength to her ok voice! I’ll listen to Keyshia Cole or Mary J any day because they actually feel what they are singing. Beyonce tried too hard on this video and song she should’ve taken a longer break and got her shit together the video is boring. She will have to work extra hard to get that “Crazy in Love” vibe…that song was hot, she looked hot not all skinny and whatnot! I don’t think she sounds or looks that great to keep buying her shit she’s sung every song for Destiny’s Child I think I’ve had enough of all of them for a few years. Beyonce has always been one of my favorites but just a little overrated and this proves my point!

I am a Beyonce fan, but I hated this video. Why was she dancing so d**m hard. And why did she change clothes like 50 times. I am a big fan of videos that tell a story so this wasn’t doing it for me. Take Ashanti, for example…I really don’t like her voice but I love her videos. But she would have to do something like that since she can’t really dance. Beyonce could have done so much better.

First off to all the haters, Beyonce is fabulous. Ya’ll just wish you could do what she does and be who she is. Four hundred and sixty three people responded that says it all. My girl is the baddest beyatch out there doing it. Respect her talent and her gift to sing dance and give 100 percent ALL the time. I lol at all the haters on this site. And for the post questioning what was the video about, duh, DEJA VU!!!
Get a dictionary and look up the word.lol

First, let me say that I am a Jay-Z fan and I think Beyonce is talented. However, in the video, I think Beyonce cheapens herself by hanging on and grinding on Jay-Z. One thing Beyonce always had going for her is that she is classy. Whether or not you like her clothes, her hair or her make-up, I think most people can agree she is always ladylike, never trashy. I think her the way she is all over Jay-Z, and the fact that he seems indifferent duing all of her gyrations, makes the whole scene beneath her. And I don’t understand the gum chewing when she is sitting behind him and throws up the Roc. Gum chewing? So not sexy.

Beyonce is far from fabulous she was with her Dangerously in Love album she had one or two good songs but the rest sucked! She was overrated then and now it’s showing even more, her voice is so, so. She’s far from soulful! She sounds and looks like she’s trying too hard!

Is it me or does Bey resemble Ashanti when she is looking up, maybe its all the black eyeliner and mascara and that smoky eyed look. I love Bey, like the video but I don’t know if all the hype is worth it with this song. Crazy In Love II- I gues that’s why she’s feelin Deja-Vu.

OMFG
LET me start of saying that i LO000Ove beyonce and seeing her with jay-z. But the HELL was going on in this video that sophie lady is not directing the video right the video has nothing to do with tha song at all. First she is saying instruments and looks like she just came back from having sex with jay then goes in the field then is dancing then the ONLy god part in the entire video stepping up her range on shacking up on jay then african dancing i like the dance though BUT the video is STRANGE IN MANY WAYS I DEMAND a re-shoot.

First of all, I think #86 MissTee2U did a good job of analyzing the video. Her comments made a lot of sense. Personally, I’m not a die hard Beyonce fan. However, I do think she is very talented. The woman is only 24 years old and she’s already won 5 grammys and that’s not including the awards she won with Destiny’s child. She has her own clothing line, she’s selling albums, doing commercials, making movies, etc. I can’t hate on her because she’s doing the damn thang. With all of the responses this video has gotten, she must be doing something right.

I’m a very big fan of Beyonce but I don’t like the video at all .I needed more dancing, she doesn’t start dancing til the end. She also needed some back up dancers. I’m just saying after that hot ass performance at the BET awards I expected better out of this video.

I love you Beyonce, but ho friend needs to SLOY DOWN.
“Nasty where’s your pride you should be ashamed” Show some integrity, remember those lyrics. Bey all over Jay’s privates like a porno, she come off sleazy.
In all the pics I see they seem unhappy. He looks bored. She looks obessesive. I know that’s the point of this video, but I mean off the set they look like this.
Bey should keep her options open and date around. I hope Bey loosen back up to her old fun self when she was with Destiny’s Child. Take notes from Janet and Jermaine and her girls Kelly and Michelle, they look like they are enjoying their social life. Bey stuck caged up with some old ass man who is keeping his options open. No ring, no love.

First of all let me say that I like Beyonce. I loved her in destiny’s child and i liked her when she went solo but…
In her new video she looks like a WANNABE TINA TURNER!
I like it when an artist wants to improve/ evolve but this is too much. It’s nice to see that’s seen appriciates african culture, but the next time she must do some better research! It is just too much!

from all these comments i’ve seen throughout the whole page, no one should’nt be calling each other “haters” and “stans” just because they don’t think the same way about beyonce, jay-z or any thing else about her new video listen’ this is the bottom line: everyone has their own way of seeing things, that’s why everyone has their own oppinion about bey, her video,the way she dances, sings,and the clothes she even wears in her video. most likley all of u don’t even know BEYONCE and probably will never meet her to see who she really is! the ones who call others haters shouldn’t because what if THEY can see something negative about beyonce and her video that others can’t? the same thing goes for the ones who calls others stans, what if they can see something special in beyonce and her video that others can’t? an oppinion is not true or false, it’s someone’s point of view, what someone THINKS, not what someone KNOWS. don’t expect each other to like bey’s music,singing, videos,clothing lines, etc. just because u do, because they are not YOU, and will never be YOU! so please, don’t disrespect each other’s oppinions, because making an opinion is being honest, and being honest is not hating or worshipping/staning, and a true fan is an honest fan, and i must tell you, im a good fan of beyonce. beyonce is beautiful and talented, BUT everyone has their flaws.ill admit, i did not think beyonce’s video deja vu was all that great, but that doesnt make me a hater, because im being honest.i liked the clothes she wore in the video,the place where the video took place, and the song. but ill be honest. there is something about the SONG that i don’t feel.she’s redoing the “whole crazy in in love” thing(i have her last solo album )with jay-z. i understand she’s deeply in love with him but when did anyone care how much in love they are? their love and realationship is none of our business, and none of us shouldn’t be baggin on them about their realationship. i did loved bey’s last hit single, crazy in love, because it was the first time she ever did something like that, and she was showing us something of her that we never seen before. she was showing that same exact thing of her with the deja vu song/video of hers: being crazy in love over someone, exept in a different way, and adding a bit more details, like(”every where i go all i see is you”).im not saying beyonce sucks now,with her new deja vu video/song but she needs to try something new to show everyone she is capable of almost anything new and surprising to not lose the love of her fans(if she even cares about her fans’ or anyone elses’ oppinions) what i think would of make her more famous is collaberating with a foreign artist,instead of the same guy she did with her last hit solo album(jay-z). well, im not going to start to jump into conclusions because what if her next single will be better? but i know, beyonce is doing her thing that’s good, but if she cares about her fans’ opinions and others opinions, she should do something about it, because from all the websites i read, most people are thinking she’s redoing the whole “crazy in love’ thing with jay-z.but even thoguh, i still think bey is good, and besides she’s not perfect. all of u that worship beyonce like a god,i must let u know this: just because she is BEYONCE doesnt mean everything she will make will come out great and everyone will think it’s great, because no one is perfect. who knows if there’s is someone out there that is ten times better than beyonce but never got the oppertunity to become a star? it even may be one of you girls who listed these comments. so that makes Bey blessed,with the gift of being a star,and she knows that some ladies like her, you, and me’ wanted to be a star, but never got the chance, but she did, of course, and she’s thankful for that.
if there are any haters, it would the ones calling each other haters and stans because you are disrespecting each other just because
you have different opinions about someone who is a human being just like us. no one thinks the same, or sees the same, and in my oppinion, i think beyonce’s new video is not a great one, but at least it’s something and at least it got on TV.thats all that matters.winning nominations, grammies, awards,oscars, by the song or the rest of her new albums tracks and videos don’t matter.there are people who think beyonce is great and people who don’t. who knows if she’s really not great?if she is really great or even the best, everyone would think the same way about her, that she is great or the greatest. but what i’ve been reading, people have so many different opinions, it’s pathetic and senseless to even debate whether or not she is great or the greatest/best? nobady should say anything about others oppinions about beyonce period.
even if it’s the most horrible thing said,everyone has a right to say something, no matter what.everyone is talented.everyone.it doesn’t matter if some people say beyonce or any one else is not talented, as long as u think u or whoever else talented.

Someone said “I think (DING) and her mother despised their nationality when they dismissed being african american and referred to themselves as: “CREOLE”. ” That is not true. Creoles know more about their African ancestors in American than most blacks. There is a pride Creoles have always had in being both AFRICAN and French, not just American, and there is nothing wrong with it. Remember, Louisiana didn’t ask to become a state of American in the first place.
