Music Beyonce: Reshoot Your Video!
The people have spoken, and apparently, they HATE Beyonce’s newest music video “Deja Vu.” In fact they hate it SO MUCH they have started an online petition to force Columbia records to reshoot the offending video. Why the public outcry? Here are the main gripes from the petition’s authors (and I swear I’m not making this up):
This video is an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music video projects of Ms. Knowles. The following problems have been pointed out by numerous fans on and offline:A) There is no clear story or theme to the video
B) The dancing is erratic, confusing and alarming at times
C) The sexual themes and shots between Ms. Knowles and Mr. Sean Carter PKA Jay-Z, are alarming and show unacceptable interactions between the two
D) The fashion in this video, while haute-couture, is unbelievable and ridiculous
E) The editing, while professionally done, causes one to get dizzy and disoriented
F) The overall feel of the video leaves a sense of much to be desired
G) The video is very disappointing and is not a clear representation of any of the songs themesWe, the fans of one Beyonce’ Knowles, ask that an alternative video be shot featuring; more choreographed & less spontaneous dancing, clearer visual themes that relate to the lyrics of the song, less gyrating, less scenes of non-existant sexual chemistry between Mr. Carter and Ms. Knowles, less zooming and quick cut edits and a more stylized and clear direction for all other aspects of the video production.
Oh, is that all they want? For those ready to be similarly “alarmed,” here’s the video. Share your thoughts below.
either she has no idea of black American history or black Americans have come a long way, but one of the two is certainly behind her decision to freak dance on a plantation. in one scene, i felt the dread of confusion--is she running for joy or running from a horny slave driver on a horse.
