"Deja Vu" is amazing but not one of her best.

I never understood the hate it recieved...

Ditto. i was quite shocked when it basically flopped on Top 40.

It's not a radio song and it's certainly not very catchy. While it is a unique song for sure, it's no first single.

Even Crazy In Love, her "memorable" hit, sounds kinda bad-ish when she starts to sing on it now... That lead us to the conclusion that she's what makes the songs so ****.

hmmm.. interesting

I bought "Déja Vu" the day it came out. What a mistake.

Another one fooled by the hype machine that is Beyonce.

B'Day was too aggressive for Pop radio, that's why it was so unsuccessful there, minus Irreplaceable.

BC Jean had a publishing deal, she just didn't have an artist deal. Read the booklet and her myspace.

Her deal had fallen apart and that's how the problem started. When her deal fell apart the "producer- cough co-writer took the song to Beyonce without her knowledge. She took the producer to court and proved that she co-wrote the song so she was able to maintain her publishing rights on the song.

True that.

I wish Beyonce would say **** Top 40 and just bring us another B'Day. The Sasha side of I Am..Sasha Fierce has amazing songs like Video Phone, Diva, and Single Ladies but overall the side doesn't TOUCH B'Day.

Just forget Pop radio, she'll be popular either way the cookie crumbles.

[Yahhh!]

Deja Vu isn't a bad song. It's just that she's capable of so much more, but she settled for less and sold it to us as if it was her best. Well I guess that's an artists job/intention, but still...Once consumers find out they've been fooled, they feel kind of stupid

Video Phone? I beg to differ. Otherwise, yes brilliant songs. And yes, they don't compare to the quality of B'Day. I wouldn't mind if she stuck to what sounded good and ignored appeal because she has to power to change formats anyways.

No she was able to maintain her "copyright" of the song. Publisher/Copyright are two different things.

She's only doing the pop thing so she can appeal to more people. When she just does the B'Day thing she seems like a ghetto girl from down south, but when she does the IIWAB, Halo, etc. + Single Ladies, Diva, etc. she seems more classy, grown and ICONIC.

Besides "Outta My Head", this sounds like it's gonna BURN.

If she is a ghetto girl from down south...so be it. Trying to appeal by being something you're not isn't hot.

And FTR, "Single Ladies" & "Diva" are SUPER GHETTO, as well as "Video Phone" <3

Hood Rat Sasha >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "I Am Beyonce"

I'm not saying it's right, but it is what it is.

Sometimes I wonder if Beyonce even likes the "I Am..." side.

The album should have been called... "Mathew...Beyonce Knowles"

OMG you need to copyright that That would be a perfect title. If he keeps making her hide her true self I'm sure she'll snap one of these days and it's gonna be ugly

These days Jay Z has more creative control over Beyonce than Matthew.

^How did you come to that conclusion???

Beyonce needs to CLAP on his ass with her next album. M...BK will lead the way for another B'Day type album to be successful on Pop.
