[edit] Freemasons Remix

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.

[edit] Cover of J.Lo song?

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

[edit] Wrong spelling in title

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).

[edit] Accurate date

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)

[edit] Content removal

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."

• "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...

Leave a note on my talk page when you're done. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 01:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Y Done. For the reviews, reliable sources are very limited. Anyway, I'll expand that as long as I can find new sources. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 03:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Some album reviews may also discuss the song. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 03:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh. I'm a bit late DM. I've added some. Thanks for the review. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 03:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
