More than 2000 Beyonce fans have signed an online petition to ban her new video and demanding it be re-shot, which makes it seem like they're not very keen on it. The promo for 'Deja vu', the first single from new album 'B'Day', features her boyfriend Jay Z, and the petition, addressed to the singer's label Columbia, complains of "unacceptable interactions" between the pair. It also cites a lack of theme, bad editing and an unsuitable wardrobe, saying: "This video is an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music-video projects of Ms Knowles'".
Elsewhere, Beyonce has been voicing her regret about her formerly diva-ish behaviour. Apparently she was a bit shocked when she saw footage of herself performing with Prince at the 2004 Grammy awards. What she has to say about this is a bit mental, because she keeps referring to someone called 'Sasha', who is her stage 'alter-ego', apparently. Yes, I see. It's 'Sasha' who's the diva, not Beyonce. Got it. Anyway, Ms Knowles says: "I saw that I didn't even give him [Prince] the mic. It was supposed to be in the middle, not in front of my mouth. Sasha just took over."
She also claims that 'Sasha' lay dormant during her work with Destiny's Child, saying "I just know when to be quiet and let other people shine... I didn't think it was appropriate to let Sasha out."
