Beyonce featuring Jay-Z - Deja Vu - The Internet's a Little Leaky Today
Wednesday June 14, 2006
If there is anything that could take a bit of the wind out of Christina Aguilera's sails, it would be the reappearance of Beyonce with partner Jay-Z in strong support. Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch provides a heads up to a radio leak of "Deja Vu," the single not scheduled for release until July. There is a bit of radio static in the download, but take a listen and let us know what you think.

Just love it…Beyonce is not a follower when it comes to music and I am impressed with this song. She is for sure a leader. Her vocals are on point.
Jay-z and Bee are bringing the heat once again! I’m loving this!
Its Crazy ! I LOVE IT ! ITS HER BEST WORK SO FAR ! KEEP IT UP B ! ALBUM IN STORE 9.5.06. Everyone ! Ill see you all in the stores !
I love it. She didn’t do the cookie cutter move. New song for the treadmill.
Beyonce has done it again!!! I love this song. Great vocals with quality music. Can you ask for anything more?!!!!!
I love it. It sounds like nothing on the radio right now. Cant wait to see her perform this song live.
They better have a hot video to back this up. It’s okay, it’s not a club banger but its decent! I’ll get on bootleg
i dont think beyonce will do better, i heard it and there was nothing special about. sorry but true;
the only way it would do better is if she paid someone to play it, christina’s song is HOT and it sounds great….
Beyonce is a starr .. Xtina betta watch it because B is hot the song has only been on radio for like one day and already in top 50 she hasnt performed it live yet so im sure a performance and video will push it rite to the # 1 spot. xtina is # 19 now but bee is on that botttayyy .. can you say yesssss!!
The screaming part sounds bad. The song is decent I guess.
Bill,
How did I know you were going to post this today? LOL Funny enough, I was also going to email you about it seeing as I already had a link up on The Rap Up.
The song is average to me. Maybe I need to give it time to catch on or something.
This song sucks, are u people’s ear drums damaged?
IT DOES sound like she’s screaming. It almost seems out of control.
I like the start and the beat (minus Jay Z not a huge fan of rap) but the end part is just bad. Shes screaming the notes which is nasty.
If people want a real battle they should have Christina sing this song and Beyonce attempt to sing ANOM.
Beyonce does it again, “Deja Vu” has summer written all over it. A very funky, sassy, and dancefloor song. Jay-Z definetely brings more to the song, giving it a more of Hip Hop sound. Great single for Beyonce to comeback with.
THE SINGLE IS VERY HOT, JAY AND B DID IT AGAIN, THE FEMALE WHO SAID SHE WOULD BOOT-LEG IT NEEDS TO BE SLAPPED. DON’T DO NO ISH LIKE THAT.
This is definitely for the grown and sexy. I think it is hot!
Could she scream anymore!! This just proves and i like beyonce, but Xtina could hammer her ito the floor vocally, and also Aint no other man is fresher, more interesting and catchier, just more polished. Xtina has nothing to worry about. Sorry B
Please okay because Christina does her fair share of screaming and oversinging. So do not even go there. This song is hot and bothe the ladies can co-exist this summer.
This is average and okay. She has to come harder with the next one. I prefer the “go-go” style of “Crazy in Love.” I do not think that the beat is fast enough. It’s aight, but it’s just something missing- I am the biggest Beyonce’ fan and being objective!
I’m a beyonce fan but I think people are just hyped because it’s beyonce. If any other artist sang this song in the same exact way,we would demand that they give back their grammys. Its awful. This is not singing. Its the sound a cat makes when you throw hot grease on him. (I would imagine). Please demand more from your artists. Christina, thank you for giving me real music to listen to.
I love Beyonce, but I am not feeling this song. I think I need to be drunk to like it.
Jayonce’s song is a creeper. Give it a minute, it’s not out of the box HOT but it’ll be one of the songs of summer. Xtina has a HOT song. When I heard it initially I thought it was similar to Crazy in Love. Interesting.
YIKES! This is Crazy In Love. THey dont give me anything new. Been there, done that with Jay-Z. Time to have a song by yourself B and not with rappers every damn song. And the yelling, HELL TO THE NO lol When this song comes on the radio, I will change it cause I dont need to be given a headache from screaming. What an awful song
Ok.. the hype about this song is clearly motivated by the fact that the singer is Beyonce. It is nothing special. Of course it will be a good song to dance and move too, but beyond that, there’s no substance. I’m sure it will be “yet” another #1 single for Beyonce. But then again, even Paris Hilton has a chance at a #1 single, nowadays.
Deja Vu is one of Beyonce’s best so far. It is not “screaming” at the end…what she is doing is “singing out” and showing us a different side of her vocals. Beyonce has one of the strongest voices out today! I love the jazzy beat too. I have this one burned already. Love it!!!
By the way I love Christina’s song but Beyonce slays her in every way…sorry.
i love both christina and beyonce, and neither of them are yelling, their hitting high notes with chest voice. experienced singers know that, if they were yelling they would be out of tune. i like deja vu, but aint no other man is my favorite, its orginginal, cool, and sassy.
I hope they both do well and pretty much know they will, no one can deny either singers talent.
Ok for the people who say: “Oh she’s screaming….DUH! Do you all listen to the words of songs or all of you all educated at the middle school level? The song has intensity and power and finess. It’s beautifully produced and a surefire hit. Y’all won’t complain when Patty or Tina scream. Think before you post for the world to see. GO BEYONCE!
Beyonce is NOT screaming. She is an accomplished singer with a 4 octave range…Period. Christina has the same ranger, but with a more powerful register. These are two wonderful artists, and there should be no competition. They make good music. Just appreciate their work…but it’s not fair to attack them. They are still people, and they have feelings too. At the end of Beyonce’s song, she is singing what is called, “Full Voice”, and Christina does it ALL the time. Hello…anyone remember “Dirrty”? So stop hating on the both of them. I love them both, buy both of their albums…THEY both like each other. So why are the public so nasty and diminuitive? It’s ridiclous. We should behave better than this as a people. And by the way…if you don’t know music…then don’t accuse anyone of yelling. YOU get on stage…dance in front of millions…and singe a high C- note and see if it’s easy. Didn’t think so.
wot the hell is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its crap beyonce’s had better and thats saying something as she only has 1 pitch (squeky) now christina’s song thats a tune and a half amazing christina well done unlike beyonce u have a range . now beyonce has 2 use her man 2 get a comeback please
B keeps doing it just watched her live performance on BET who does it better than herr surely not Aguilera this deja vu is definitely not deja vu its a new vibe all about summer and fun and just as dangerous as carzy in love.
