Despite Beyoncé's countless hits since DC and her groundbreaking latest albums, the B'Day era-and therefore Deja Vu as its introduction-is (imo) the quintessence of Beyoncé "the performer". The beats, the choreo, the outfits (hadn't seen that Josephine Baker one before!), and the videography (her first visual album, at that) all together cemented her as the superstar that she's remained in our common imaginary to this day.
beyoncé’s deja vu still amazes me to this day. i feel like it had to have been the point where people realized like oh. she’s going to keeping having a renaissance in her sound every year. she’s really here to stay. as of right now in 2024, it’s still the best deja vu
I loved this video! 😁Also, there is a song from Katy Perry on witness called 'deja vu' and that song is so underrated. I really love the groovy beat and her smooth vocals on that song.
this shouldn’t even be a question lmao. the BET awards performance of deja vu is STILL being recreated today. just a few months ago there was a viral tiktok trend of people recreating the scene from the video where she’s dancing in the sand. also most folks know that when they hear “bass… hi hat…” they know what’s coming! not to mention the beychella version!
oh, so down for this series~ 🎶 i saw the thumbnail & thought we were going over three! tryna think of three others before they’re mentioned has my brain missing.
It's so beyoncé. Not because it's beyoncé.... It's what she DID with it. The intro. The way the intro BUILDS EXCITEMENT.... The live elements . The congas. Making the ppl DANCE to rnb. The POP STAR level of EXCITEMENT she brought to the RnB space... It's what she DID with the song, the video, the aesthetic.... She just understands the art. She understands performance.
Beyonce literally lost her mind on Deja Vu. The song that turned me BeyHive! Also, Imagine putting in the B'day CD for the first time and Deja Vu starts playing Track 1!
Ironically this is one of my least favorite Beyoncé songs but favorite dance video I love how offbeat yet syncopative the choreography is displayed which I heard were inspired by the Tarantino film Kill Bill…on this list though I love J Cole’s “Deja Vu” the most primarily because the K.P. & Envyi sample actually gives me deja vu…Swing My Way was a 90’s time capsule moment.
Why are all these songs about love and attraction to someone when Deja Vu means feeling like you've been or seen something before so it can be about anything really.
I also remember a bunch of the beyhive not being happy with the déjà vu music video. I don’t remember the full details but I do remember him not being happy with what they got. I love that retro respective has changed on it though.
I love Beyonce's Deja Vu, but... the first song with that title that comes to mind is the one from Initial D. Sorry, it's just an internet meme classic 😂
Omg not lying but i was literally just thinking about these Deja Vu songs since I heard Katy's song for the first time earlier lmao. Beyonce and Olivia are def my fave Deja Vu songs.
For me it’s between post Malone and j Cole I think Post Malone track captures the mesmerization and the yearning for someone very well. Where is J. Cole‘s déjà vu capture’s that feeling you get when the club about the close and that one Shawty captures your eye and you’ve been wanting her all night
The Beyonce vs Olivia debate in the comments has SOOO many social and generational layers to it…lol. Because in NO WORLD is that a better song than Beyoncé’s Deja Vu.
Ok that green dress that Beyoncé has on the thumbail is one of my favorite looks of her and i Love the song deja vu from her and the vídeo is ICONIC but sometimes a little bit underrated. One of by favorite albuns, i Love b'day. Shake it off from Mariah Carey always will be my favorite shake it off song. And the same with beautiful from Christina Aguilera.
Everyone and the granny know Beyoncé Deja vu, Beyoncé made a generational song, Olivia’s is relegated to the gen z and x girlies, and no shade but who gaf about jcole
I'm gonna be honest the only Deja Vu I knew in this video was from Olivia Rodrigo, but whenever I think of Deja Vu I think of that Eminem song from Relapse where he is talking about his overdose and drug abuse... such a powerful song that I am surprised never made it on this list as it is one of the best songs on that entire album, missed opportunity if you ask me.
“His sexiness, for one, according to Beyoncé” sounded so shady lol
@@tinymxnticore aht aht- she’s the one who said it must be the cash 😭😭
Naomi’s bluntness is so funny! I support it🫶🏾😂!
CLOCK IT LOL
Actually all three of them hold weight but Beyoncé bridge holds itself all alone I’m giving it to Deja vu by Beyoncé.
Yesss
Now if we hear BABY I CANT GO ANYWHERE !!! We are gonna finish that line with are whole soulll!!!!!
@@ahmarindungu9010 riiiight, screaming w all I have in me
I'll never forget the BET live performance, the first time performed. Such a memorable iconic moment.
Come on beyonces is so catchy and the live instrumental and vocals are nostalgic
Deja vu by Olivia is becoming so iconic but beyonces deja vu is already a classic so you already know she’s got it
Olivia’s deja vu is better actually now that I’m re listening
@@tonieandrade2073the bbc live radio version is soooo good

Olivia’s Deja Vu just screams spring/summer 2021, sour is such a iconic era in general but this song just captures that vibe
Beyoncés bridge alone is more memorable than the other songs 😅
"There's someone about this man, his sexiness for one according to Beyonce..." had no reason being that funny 😂😂
beyoncé’s deja vu still amazes me to this day. i feel like it had to have been the point where people realized like oh. she’s going to keeping having a renaissance in her sound every year. she’s really here to stay. as of right now in 2024, it’s still the best deja vu
Bey's Deja Vu is my bias fave!!! ☺💖
Beyoncè easily. Olivia is a cute 2nd place though❤️
Babbyyy! Deja Vu live at Homecoming by Beyoncé is a peak top tier production, vocal, mix, arrangement. Chefs kiss. 💋 She takes this easily.
That 2006 BET awards performance has already cemented Beyoncé’s “Deja vu” as the best 😭
I loved this video! 😁Also, there is a song from Katy Perry on witness called 'deja vu' and that song is so underrated. I really love the groovy beat and her smooth vocals on that song.
this right here!! the whole album in general is so underrated

I love this! Side note, just in kpop there's like at least 20 groups/soloists with a song called Deja Vu too 😆
Why am i actually listening to Deja Vu by Beyonce at this very moment omg?
@@nicolesherman8974 Bc it’s a banger
There’s only one right answer.. “CAUSE IN MY MIIIIIND I WANT YOU HERE”
I feel like “Moonlight” would be a good one. X, Ariana Grande, Glenn Miller Orchestra/Frank Sinatra, Kali Uchis, etc.
@@tomxxtrain Truuue so many
oh, so down for this series~ 🎶
i saw the thumbnail & thought we were going over three! tryna think of three others before they’re mentioned has my brain missing.
For me it’s Olivia’s. it’s simple but hits the point hard
This set up omg
BEY FORREAL😂

Dionnne Warwick's "Deja Vu" is my favorite one tbh! 😍
Olivia’s Deja Vu really resonated with me when I heard it, so it’s very special to me. ♥️
Beyoncé is taking it!! The vocals near the end of the song is so good😫
Love em all but I am going with Beyonce
Beyonce literally lost her mind on Deja Vu. The song that turned me BeyHive!
Also, Imagine putting in the B'day CD for the first time and Deja Vu starts playing Track 1!
Ateez deja vu is one of the best kpop songs ever made. Would have been huge if released today with their current fame
Beyonce's song reigns supreme. That's all.
I'm shocked they didn't like BDay.... but Beyoncé Deja vu end of discussion
@@jesusaceves3893 right makes no sense to me

Britney Spears also has an unreleased song called "Instant DejaVu" from the In The Zone sessions.
@@mysticizzm ooo can we find it online??
Yes! It's also here on TH-cam
@@mysticizzm tyyyy
Beyoncé is the current answer. Saved y'all 30 minutes
Beyoncé without a doubt
Why are all these songs about love and attraction to someone when Deja Vu means feeling like you've been or seen something before so it can be about anything really.
Beyoncé wins every time
Thinking of Beyoncé's deja vu being a deja vu and kinda a part 2 of crazy in love is ✨️perfection✨️
Deja Vu will ALWAYS be by Beyonce
Dave Rodgers and Dionne Warwick are the best answers imo. Shame no one listens to Eurobeat here.
True!
I also remember a bunch of the beyhive not being happy with the déjà vu music video. I don’t remember the full details but I do remember him not being happy with what they got. I love that retro respective has changed on it though.
SS501 - deja vu
Songs called Haunted! :)
@@buttsincorporated Oh bey taking that one for me
@@naomi.cannibalIf you do a video about it, please add Haunted by Laufey 🙏🏼❤
love this video idea/style! you’re so creative, naomi. pls honorable mention for “deja vu” by twenty88 (jhene aiko & big sean) xo
@@kristindi0r thank you!!
3:00 “according to beyoncé” HAHAHAHHA
Know that i cant get over u🗣🎶
Katy Perry s deja vu ❤
I think TXT's Deja Vu is a great contender on the list🤌🏾
Please do ‘California’ - you’ve got joni, lana, lorde, chappell to name a few and they’re all tangentially related but utilise the concept differently
@@morganylong5555 oh what an interesting one!!
Deja Vu in The World Ends With You soundtrack.
I love Beyonce's Deja Vu, but... the first song with that title that comes to mind is the one from Initial D. Sorry, it's just an internet meme classic 😂
Agreed, Dave Rodgers absolutely deserves more credit.
Stranger by Jhené Aiko is such a DejaVu themed song, just she never used the word. But I love the Stranger idea.
people hating on check on it has been my cross to bear for years. I love that song but i know some do not like it.
Omg not lying but i was literally just thinking about these Deja Vu songs since I heard Katy's song for the first time earlier lmao. Beyonce and Olivia are def my fave Deja Vu songs.
Olivia 💜
Literally just came to comment the sweater girllllllllllll that color is gud
For me it’s between post Malone and j Cole I think Post Malone track captures the mesmerization and the yearning for someone very well. Where is J. Cole‘s déjà vu capture’s that feeling you get when the club about the close and that one Shawty captures your eye and you’ve been wanting her all night
Next word Crazy 😅
Katy Perry’s Deja Vu is underrated af, how dare you not mention it even though it’s a Witness song lmaooo
Deja Vu by 2088 is my favvvvvvv, then Beyonce ofc
Now eveeyone loves beyonce in the comments 😒where was that energy when it was released. Olivia deja its a classic gets better with age
First Beyoncé/Second : Glass Animals Next word : Baby or midnight
Beyoncé. Ain’t even have to watch
beyonceeee
There is only one correct answer and that is Beyonce
The Beyonce vs Olivia debate in the comments has SOOO many social and generational layers to it…lol.
Because in NO WORLD is that a better song than Beyoncé’s Deja Vu.
Beyoncé wins by default is this really a question? Lmao

Ofcoure deja vu by olivia
Ok that green dress that Beyoncé has on the thumbail is one of my favorite looks of her and i Love the song deja vu from her and the vídeo is ICONIC but sometimes a little bit underrated. One of by favorite albuns, i Love b'day.
Shake it off from Mariah Carey always will be my favorite shake it off song. And the same with beautiful from Christina Aguilera.
This should have been a video about second place because first is always going to be beyonce🐝💛💚
Deja Vu by Shakira is the best one PERIOD.
deja vu by the one and only katy perry on witness 😭
It may be an unpopular opinion but Beyonce's Deja Vu is my least favorite song by her even back then I was irritated when I heard it lol
Beyoncé & its not even close
Everyone and the granny know Beyoncé Deja vu, Beyoncé made a generational song, Olivia’s is relegated to the gen z and x girlies, and no shade but who gaf about jcole
My favorite is ATEEZ’s Deja Vu 😎 I love everything about it
Katy Perry also has a song called Deja Vu but it’s awful so it wouldn’t even stand chance
Beyoncé’s >>>>>
I'm gonna be honest the only Deja Vu I knew in this video was from Olivia Rodrigo, but whenever I think of Deja Vu I think of that Eminem song from Relapse where he is talking about his overdose and drug abuse... such a powerful song that I am surprised never made it on this list as it is one of the best songs on that entire album, missed opportunity if you ask me.
also deja vu by txt
Beyoncé wins
TXT have a new song called Deja vu. I think they used the concept of it really well
olivia’s deja vu is the best we all know that

Jcole created a masterpiece he shitted on all these songs.
