Talk:Déjà Vu (Beyoncé song)

message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title: Accurate date

message: 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."

message: *"The remix was nominated at the 2007 Grammy Awards for "Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical" - not sure this belongs in the background section
*"Subsequently, the instruments plays after it is being mentioned," - that should be singular, right?
*"The bridge applies for a more emotional[13]" - need punctuation before the ref
*"feedbacks from contemporary critics." - feedback = singular
*The comments from the reviews are *really* short - surely you could talk a bit more about what each reivewer thought...

message: 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)
replies: text: Wooh! Thanks Orane. Thanks for the help. Thanks for the barnstar. =) About the reception secion, I will do what I can and upload another image. I was thinking of that image too because I read an article saying that Knowles is somewhat or about to give fellatio to Jay-Z. My concern is that during this time, Jay-Z is not seen; only Knowles and his belt. But I will try to upload and let see the effect. --Efe (talk) 05:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The article

message: 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)
replies: text: Well, I was reverted so as of now the above "downplaying" isn't in the article. 86.44.27.243 (talk) 19:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I will handle this later. I am really busy in school. --Efe (talk) 01:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: live instrumentation

message: The article stated that Beyonce detached Jay-Z's belt in the video. This is false, and because of that, I removed it.

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)
replies: text: Hi, thanks for raising your concern. Although it seems an original research, the article cited did not actually mentione "best detaching" so I fixed some. --Efe (talk) 13:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, I have changed back the general reaction to the video as mixed. The petition is one of the negas. --Efe (talk) 13:42, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
