Beyonce fans protest her new video

Yahoo! Music, Jul 25, 2006 5:00 pm PDT
Thousands of Beyonce fans have begun a petition to have her new video banned.

The pop superstar has launched her solo comeback with "Déjà Vu," the first single from her new album B'Day, which also features her boyfriend Jay-Z. However, the video has not impressed many of her supporters, with over 2,000 apparently signing an online petition that demands it be reshot.

In the petition, which is addressed to Beyonce's label, Columbia Records, the outraged fans list a string of grievances at the promo film, including what they consider the "unacceptable interactions" between her and Jay-Z.

Citing an apparent lack of theme, poor editing, and unsuitable wardrobe, the petition insists "Déjà Vu" be redone.

"This video is an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music-video projects of Ms. Knowles,'" the petition states.
