I like the video, something different from the normal bland RnB video's that plague music channels now. Also I'm a shameless Beyonce fan so, you know, have to love her...

[SVZ]

she's her own video ho

[alcohol the honey]

lame. channeling shakira, that dancefloor scene especially. and in some scenes she looks like she is having a seizure. not sexy

I can't remember where I read it, but I think some of her fans have started a petition that she reshoot the video. I will have to find it.

Ok, got it from another site. It's so ridiculous!!


To: Columbia Records, A Division of Sony BMG
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
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.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

That is the most ridiculous thing I've read lol. It can't be real can it? Why do people get so upset when an artist tries to do something different but get up in arms when the artist continues to do the same thing. Beyonce shouldn't change the video, everyone I know likes the video, even people who can't stand Beyonce. Also, the dance was choregrpahed, Beyonce said she wanted a more free, African influenced dance, rather than the same things you see in the clubs, it's hardly just erratic dancing lol.

I never thought Beyonce was her own video ho. I thought she was auditioning to be Jay-Z.'

[buttmunch]

But some scenes are cool.

[Perilita]

[SammysMom]

signed the petition. Bad video and worst dancing. No chemistry between those two at all. Hey just my opinion and Im entitled to it.

i don't understand the way she 'dances' in the video. it really looks like she's epileptic.. and she sings so loud that it sounds like shouting. other than that the video is visually pretty good. this is not her best stuff.
