There are a few definitions depending on who you ask or where you look (it*s also a language spoken in the Caribbean, especially Haiti) so according to the MSN Encarta (altho some would include descendents of Native Americans as well):

African descendant born in Americas: somebody of African or mixed African descent born in the Americas

Caribbean person of European ancestry: somebody who comes from a Caribbean or Latin American country and is of European, especially Spanish descent

Somebody of French ancestry: somebody who comes from the southern United States, especially southern Louisiana, and is descended from early French settlers

A word that, by mere mentioning in this forum, will completely derail the topic at hand.

RipHer2Shreds said:

And wtf would African dance have to do w/ her being (or not being, I don't know) Creole??

LAWD, I don't wanna help derail

misstoi said:

the term deja vu is actually french for "already seen".


this explains everything. there's a huge difference between reading the dictionary and comprehending what's in the dictionary.

fuckers are giving my birth name a bad name, i'm tellin you...it's a gotdamned shame.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

LMAO! You can always pull a Prince and change your name to an unpronounceable symbol.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

FUCK no. i'm proud of my name...



my mom named me after the song that's on this album. i'm happy as hell that i'm not in my teens anymore, otherwise i'd have to be slappin muthafuckas on a daily basis for singing this fuckin beeyotch-e nonsense at me after i tell 'em what my name is.


dionne's "deja vu" owns all! edit

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Awwww...I didn't know that. That's great. I had to listen to that after hearing Beyonce.

RipHer2Shreds said:

yeah, i asked my dad one day how the hell did my name come about...he says that he loved "deja vu" back when it first came out, so i guess my mom went ahead and named me after the song because of that.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I hope you have that album. If not...I do check my Org notes!

RipHer2Shreds said:

i used to have it on vinyl but had to sell it when i was short on money a while ago!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Awwww...in that case, I'd be pissed at Beeyotch-e <----(LMAO) too!

This video is all over the place. I was LMAO @ the Denise Richards fried blonde wig with split ends and red evening dress in the middle of a fuckin' SWAMP. *DEAD* Once the video hits the halfway mark, it's just random shots of the bitch runnin' here and there, making BUG EYES at the camera.

Oh, FUCK. I just saw the shots of her STOMPING IN THE DESERT. LMAOOOOOo

LOLOL @ VC's reaction

She stole Ashlee Simpson's moves from the Orange Bowl half time show!

VoicesCarry said:

That's the part that reminds me of this video:


http://www.youtube.com/wa...kkAQOYBAWc

just saw the vid:

this girl is like a high yella, hyperactive, Diana Ross....Jay-Z just played the role of Berry Gordy...he's just there stiff as a board looking like

"damn did ya'll get the take on this shit or what??? I got an appointment with Rihanna at the Ritz so can ya'll hurry the fuck up???"

with all of the unbalanced shaking and jiggling going on in that video, no wonder homegirl lost weight, she looked like she could have burned off 10 pounds in that video alone!!!!

what was the grabbing at Jay's belt about? must wasn't much of a grab since he didn't even move an inch when she did it...looked like they got it on the 20th shot.

it was too many fast shots for me, i thought i was seeing double at one point...

BlaqueKnight said:

you mean the other song off of michaels album "off the wall"... i think the song is called "i cant help it"... well atlest that line is in the chorus... i was just listening ot MJ's off the wall ablum... and her song sounds like a remix to micheals song I CANT HELP IT...

bellahoney said:

give her some credit... her video isnt as bad as Mariah's say something...

TotalAlisa said:

oh yes it fuckin' is!!!! i'd rather see Mariah parading though Europe any day with Pharrell than to see that Beyonce bullshit.

there's one thing i can respect about Mariah, her ass don't try too damn hard to prove herself to nobody cuz she know her ass can out sing most of these R&B and pop singers....all she has to do is walk and sit pretty while her voice does all the work.

you'll never see Mariah stomping in some dirt or almost trying to pull a guy's belt off with her teeth. she doesn't have to.

i have seen like 3 mariah videos where she is sitting in randoms rappers lap... PLUS MARIAH tries to hard to look sexy ... she doesnt have to try hard to sing but she always try to hard... the way she poses.. the things she says all her gestures look fake... so i rather see beyonce... and mariah's video looked so retouched... her face had no kind of wrinkle... and you know she has some wrinkles .... so like i said before MARIAH'S VIDEO WAS THE WORST... it was just motion 'BEAUTY' shots of her... it wasnt even really a video... she was trying to hard to look 'SEXY' ... she never lets it come natural.. she always has on something skin tight (which is her trying to look sexy, if your so sexy you dont have to wear skin tight cloths all the time.. of course guys will think your sexy... cause you wear tight cloths and your always half naked... )... i dont remember ever seeing her wear jeans and a sweater... after 1997.... BUT all the same beyonce video is SO DEJA VU ... same moves, it looks like all her videos put together... its so typical for beyonce.... she needs to change her looks....

At least that video has Paris (however underused it was), and some nice fashions, which this video DOESN'T.

I got 2 words for the Deja Vu video, HOT MESS. I was lost throughout the whole thing. I get the point that she's hot and can dance but it was way too much. At the end she was dancing like she was having an epileptic seizure. It was very disturbing. The song is just as mediocre but I can bop to it. And when all is said and done, I will get her new CD but so far, this is not encouraging.

purplecam said:

i only got through about a minute and a half of the video before turning it off...my brain cells started screaming "whyyyyy?!"

That was just waaaay too many cutaway images to try to digest.

I'm glad I didn't watch this after a good Friday night happy hour 'cause my head would be spinning in circles right about now.

...and I'm sorry, but all that bayou imagery just has Tina Knowles' imput all over it...like you expect me to believe the scenario that Jay-Z would be sitting up in some dark, hot ass plantation house with a fan nowhere to be seen ...and again, I'm so sick of watching her grind all up against him I don't know what to do. We have seen THAT move so many times, it really is time to give it a rest
