Should this article mention that it's the Freemasons Remix of the song that took it to number one on the charts? In the UK, the BBC only played the remix.
Rebirth This page doesn't mention that this is a cover of a song by Jennifer Lopez Or is the page about her album rebirth lying??
Uh.. no mention of the fat that the song has no Longevity on the charts
In the cover, one can read Déjà vu, not Deja vu. The former spelling is the correct French one, btw —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.139.18.30 ( talk) 13:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
What's the accurate date of recording? Did Beyonce records Deja Vu during the B'Day sessions after she finished Dreamgirls? -- BritandBeyonce ( talk) 12:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
This is unsourced:
Beyoncé talked about "Déjà Vu"'s video on MTV's Total Request Live. She stated that the main inspiration for her choreography was Josephine Baker. She told another interviewer that Tina Turner was another inspiration for the intense choreography. During the making of the video for "Déjà Vu", Beyoncé recalled being in swamps dodging alligators, snakes and bees. She revealed that she "decided to go to Louisiana because it has a soul that a studio can't give you. We were in the swamps. Literally, there were alligators, snakes, bees, and wasps. The song is about her seeing unreal images because of the absence of her lover. It was 105 degrees. All of that sweat in the video is real. That's not some spritzer. That's real."

I'm most impressed with this article. It is very engaging and very well-written. I changed what minor edits needed to be made, so I can't see any major problems with it. The only concern I have is that the review section sounds a bit "listy", as in, "She said this, he said this, they said that." How about linking them? Such as, "she said this. Similarly, she said this. This idea was echoed/repeated by Mary Kate of the Washington Post, who also stated that..." Stuff like that.
Also, do we have another screen shot of the video? I think there's a scene where she knelt down in front of him and held on to his belt (or something like that). That pic would be great. Other than than, I think this article even surpasses " Irreplaceable". Orane (talk) 04:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
I downplayed the use of this phrase. I understand it is intended to convey that no sampling was used on the track, but if not in the right context it could be taken to refer to live performances of the song. Also, the 808 is a programmed drum machine, and would not usually be referred to as live instrumentation in a studio setting, which could contribute to confusion. Hopefully the article is less ambiguous on this point now. It might still be good to find a source that deals with this in clear terms, allhiphop's "purely instrumental" still leaves room for confusion though beyonce's quote is good. 86.44.27.243 ( talk) 19:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
It was requested that I leave feedback here before another push for FAC. I haven't had time to look at the entire entire, but I see that all the feedback from the last FAC has not been addressed. That should be considered a showstopper for bringing this back to FAC. For example, I left feedback criticizing the "Music and Lyrics" heading and it still contains errors. You cannot use the sheet music as a source, and the information you gleaned from it is incorrect anyway. I am also disappointed that no one else has worked on the article since the last FAC—it badly needs a fresh pair of eyes to copy-edit. I would not consider supporting this article until:
I will just add things one by one.
Just passing through with a brief comment if you don't mind– I think the lead should briefly say why the video displeased fans so much. The lead should be able to stand alone and it's a little puzzling as it is now. Regards, --

The article stated that Beyonce detached Jay-Z's belt in the video. This is false, and because of that, I removed it.
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p309/oikaketekite/Other/dejavucapture1.png
This is the shot of concern. Below is the same shot, only I circled some things to higlight them.
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p309/oikaketekite/Other/dejavucapture.png
I have circled Jay-Z's belt in blue. You can see that it is not undone. I circled the end of the belt in green, to furthur show how the belt is not detached. What Beyonce did was yank on a strap that was hanging from Jay-Z's pants, which I circled in red. It wasn't his belt. The purple circle is to show where the strap is hooked onto Jay-Z's pants. Since she didn't undo his belt, I also removed the reference to the site that also claimed she detached his belt, because it's false. Along with these two, I corrected the review of the Deja Vu video from author Eb Haynes from Allhiphop. When talking about the Deja Vu video, he called it, "visually fresh, couture motivated"; The "pissed of Beyonce" remark was him talking about the Ring The Alarm video. This should make sense, being that A)Couture fashion is prominent in the Deja Vu video, and B)there's nothing remotely "pissed off" about Beyonce in the Deja Vu video, while there is very much a pissed of Beyonce in the Ring The Alarm video. ~ Surelyhuman ( talk) 01:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
