Deja Vu Reviews:
Sure, it's derivative but what superstar hasn't borrowed from him/herself 
2006-09-13 - "Deja Vu," the first single from Beyonce's "B'Day", does bear a striking similarity to her 2003 monster smash "Crazy in Love" but that should be no surprise to any follower of popular music. Most artists "repeat" themselves because fans expect to hear the same with little variation.
"Deja Vu" also benefits from a killer video that showcases the singer's vocal skills along with her highly appealing body.
The remixes here are typical house workings featuring the standard amplified bass lines, the re-dubbed vocals, extended instrumental riffs, and constant repetition of the aforementioned.
Track Listing:

(5 out of 10) Nah, Not Really 
2006-08-28 - Pretty much an average single to me. Nothing special. Beyonce does her singing as usual. I'm not a huge fan of her singing, but there is nothing special about this song. As for Jay-Z, he has be falling on the mic lately, and you can hear how his rhymes felt like were thrown together on his second verse. Not the Jigga I want to hear. If you're a fan of pop music or a fan of Beyonce/Destinys Child, you may not like my review. To me, this is just another song shooting for the top 40. Good luck...
Deja Out
2006-08-13 - Sometimes, when a artist samples others, it can be a good song turned into a better song. However, when a artist samples themself, it just a song into something either good, or absolutely hammy. When Prince sampled his song 1999 for his single Fury from 3121, he turned a good song, into a better song. For Beyonce' and Jay-Z it just absolutely meant the opposite direction. Deja Vu, the first single from her upcoming record B-day, seems more like a cheater than a different song. The chorus samples the bridge to her first solo hit Crazy In Love. That song had a bit of appeal, but this one however misses the appeal completely. I don't like it as much because the feeling isn't there. I think she needs to find something different next time to bring out her style. This doesn't have the sensation you've felt before.

I Can't Stop Movin' To This One {3.5 Stars} 
2006-08-10 - I'm feelin' the bassline on this track right now. It sounds like something out of Michael Jackson's Off The Wall LP. I'm really diggin' this though and the heads crash the floor when I put it on. My only beef is that Jay Z is slippin' on the mic. He does a decent job, but we all know he can come a lot better than he's been coming lately.
