The song leaked on June 13, 2006 and instantly debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at #69 after only two days of radio airplay
She's gonna blow up. Not because its a good song, because its Beyonce.

I am REALLY feeling this song! I agree with the majority though. At first I didn't like it... AT ALL! But now, I can't get enough of it. It'll definately be a hit

I think it's alright. It does sound very Michael Jackson Invincible. I don't like the Jay-Z part. It's not that tight. I don't think that this song is good enough to be a single.

well, Deja Vu is sampled off of some MJ song. Whether or not it was Invincible, idk

I'm not sure if i love it or hate it. Parts of it are hot, parts of it throw it off, so it'll either be a hit or miss. Obviously another #1. Anything she does will be a hit, just because radio seems to obsess about her. Just look at COI, such a cheap song, but the chorus was catchy so obvious hit. Also, it sounds almost too much like Christina's song.

I agree with Arith most def. The song is alright though. I never change the station when it comes on the radio, you know, every 5 seconds.
But the fact that this track is being *****d like her other singles just interferes with me liking Beyonce. She's extremely overrated. She doesn't deserve alot of this media coverage, most of these accolades, and all this respect. Ex: DIL did not deserve to sweep award shows in 2004. The album was good but far from a masterpiece. People are out to make her the next big legend. Why don't radio DJs, award committees, etc just let it happen gradually???

good points
I never understood why Bee was/is so hyped either. I mean her music is okay, but definately no better than any other quality artist in the industry today. I think that that is part of the reason why she gets so much backlash. Because she is able to put very little effort into her work (i mean, i heard she recorded this song in 20 min.), yet get so much attention and have her material reach #1 status. Whereas most other artist take their time, releases quality music, and there stuff isn't played half as much as Bee's. Seriously, she does NOT deserve to be as hyped as she is. I'm almost convinced that she sold her soul to the devil, lol. I like Beyonce just as much as the next guy (who isn't `pSyCho_Bee`), but wtf??
and with all that said, I think Deja Vu is a great song. But it's prolly not as good as the radio, and others are gonna portray it to be by playing it every 10 seconds... I expect that this song will be a #1 hit with very little effort

It has some appeal, but the music itself could be better...

Deja Vu is HOTT!!! That's what it is!! I can't believe some of you people don't like it. It's a grower, don't worry, you'll hear it enough and you'll end up lovin'' it! And Arith sorry but this doesn't sound anything like Crazy In Love. Why would you say that, just because Jay-Z's in it? It's a completely different song, and Jay has 2 raps in Deja Vu. This song showcases Beyonce's vocals as well, they girl is going crazy on this song, she's on some new ish! At first when I first heard it I didn't like it much either but it grew on me and now I love, Beyonce did a great job, face it! This is much better than Check On It and it that reached the #1 spot than this better as well!!

Bee is growin as an artist...people hated CIL until the vid and now its a classic. I see the same with this since this is not a first listen track AT ALL!!!! This sounds nothin like CIL besides the fact they both have horns and JayZ. Some people need to respect the genre more.

Wonder if anyone will play the new Beyoncé? Psyche! It's a safe bet that "Déjà Vu," which was leaked online and then digitally zapped to radio June 13, is destined to be a summer 2006 mainstay. Radiating with enough heat (and hype) to make July seem chilly by comparison, the hip-hop chugger is readily identifiable as pop/R&B's reigning songstress, with a notably loose vocal, fluffed harmonies, a novel horn section and a chorus that adheres to the memory bank in a shake. Downside: Jay-Z's superfluous rap. But no matter. This is an event record destined to garner Beyoncé's upcoming sophomore set "B'Day" a monster opening. And our guess: This is just a warm-up, with the biggest, best singles yet to come. —Chuck Taylor

It's a missed opportunity; as far as I know, nobody's yet gotten Beyonce to talk about herself as a musician instead of as a public figure, even though she's a hell of a musician. Beyonce's new single, "Deja Vu" leaked yesterday; Spine has the mp3. It's a monster, a luxuriant wide-screen love-crazy squelch-funk jam with horn blats and an itchy bassline and rippling bongos and two Jay-Z verses. It's probably going to run the summer of 2006 the way "Crazy in Love" ran the summer of 2003. That's clearly the intent, anyway; it's got the same spit-shine retro-organic production and head-spun crush-wails. Jay does the same thing where he completely ignores the song's lyrics and just sort of raps about how cool he is. It's hard to tell just one day after hearing it for the first time, but it might actually be as good as "Crazy in Love." The chorus doesn't have that dizzy adrenaline-rush with the horns soaring up and Beyonce yowling over it; it's all cool, in-control multitracked vocals and percolating drums and sidelong guitars, more ellipses than exclamation point. But on the verses, she's shaken off all the awkwardness she had on "Crazy in Love," just nailing them with this toothy determination; it's pretty much impossible to imagine her singing them any better. There's a neat bit at the beginning where she names the instruments on the track as they come in, like Neneh Cherry on "Buffalo Stance," all leading up to the first Jay verse. After coming off clumsy on the "Hustlin'" remix, Jay is absolutely back on his game here. One of the things that's always made Jay great is that he (usually) treats pop-song throwaway-verses almost as seriously as he does his own songs, packing in all these dense little lines that you don't always pick up the first time ("Flow, blow, what's the difference? / One you take in vain while other you sniffin'"). Last night, Nick Sylvester called me totally bugging out over the song: "It's so much better than 'Promiscuous Girl'! Everyone hates promiscuous girls!" That's a weird thing to say, but it's worth bugging out over a song like this one.
"Deja Vu" reminds me a lot of "Ain't No Other Man," the new Christina Aguilera single. They're both love songs so dizzy and emphatic that their singers can only adequately express their feelings by totally howling on the choruses. They're both up-tempo club jams with lush and expensive tracks, things that sound like they have a ton of musicians playing on them even though they might not actually have any at all. They're both event-songs; you know they're both going to get all-out record label pushes and that neither one is going to relax its hooks on the radio until like September. Neither one was produced by Rich Harrison, but they both sound just like him: "Crazy in Love," yeah, but especially Amerie's "1 Thing," with its itchy drums and ecstatic vocal and all-encompassing Jackson 5 vibe. The producers of the two tracks couldn't be more different (Rodney Jerkins for Beyonce, DJ Premier for Christina), but they're both great at doing this rich, airy r&behemoth stuff. For sheer overwhelming cultural dominance, neither one is really ----ing with "What You Know" or "Ghetto Story" yet, but it's only a matter of time. When radio really gets ahold of them and the videos come out, it's a wrap. This is going to be a great summer.

Heard from a friend in the South that "Ring The Alarm"(the 2nd single) is being leaked...Supposedly it's a scorcher!!!! Much hotter than "Deja Vu(which Rodney Jerkins should get more credit for his excellent production skills than he's getting... but hot none the less)...Beyonce is ambitious and that is what we love about her....She is out to take that crown with all her sistergirl glory!!!! LOLOL!!!
