Olivia Rodrigo - deja vu in the Live Lounge

[@mavllavan5045]

love the way she sang deja vu, the pauses, and phrasing it's like she's telling a story.

[@mallorykrumrei7338]

so true. i feel like her most recent performance of get him back! was similar in this way. the way she added a tone of sarcasm it felt like she was telling a story akin to slam poetry

[@LucindaRone]

True

[@katherinepierce7948]

This is such an interesting rendition of the song. It’s more nostalgic reminiscent rather than angry. Love it

[@bruno5336]

💯

[@olufagosebambulagose]

Yeah, just a natural progression of things. One of the best examples of this is Alanis Morissette's "You Ought to Know", probably the best breakup song ever written. If you watch the original music video and early performances of this song, it's full of anger and Alanis said it herself that the popularity of this song made it worse because every time she sang it, she would go back to thinking about it. But if you see the recent performances, 30 years later, she sings it as if it's just another song, with hardly any sign of any emotion towards the lyrics.

[@Sophielee21]

Literally what I was about to say. 😊

[@DivineSora01]

Whoever arranged this version deserves a raise and a promotion.

[@noitsbecky.4291]

who else than herself? it’s her song.

[@maincoasters]

@@noitsbecky.4291i think they mean the instrumentation but she may have

[@noitsbecky.4291]

@@maincoasters maybe but the general consensus and opinion of the whole comment section is about how different and lovely this version and performance vocally of deja vu is. i would be surprised if the instrumentation is rlly what they focused on.

[@DivineSora01]

@noitsbecky.4291 Arrangement is generally used to refer to the instrumentation, as in: scoring the piano guitar etc. She is a writer on her songs, but she doesn't write every line of music for every song and its variations.

[@noitsbecky.4291]

@@DivineSora01 true but she is very keen and free on her creative process and isn’t just a doll in a a label so i don’t see it not being her or her collaborator. the writer of her songs is a better way of putting it. she makes the bulk of her songs and it’s lyrics since her producer is also her co writer which doesnt say much since he isn’t a writer.

[@aarko37]

Her style of singing is so unique. Not just her voice but also the timing, pronunciation, breathing etc. There is no one else who sings like she does.

[@ibtihajmujahid8206]

Loved and liked ur comment just make the """sehe""" right

[@brainer3]

​@amaugofaith1044 yea. olivia is a great artist and i love the return to pop punk. but almost every pop artist sings exactly in the same style as her, and im positive she didn't invent it

[@Ok-lu5qc]

😂😂😂 calm down bud

[@sunootiramisoo]

@amaugofaith1044 indeed its a strong word for u cus u never been called that your entire life lol, dont comment these whe ur js insecure frfr

[@pedrolopessv]

a gata arrasa

[@EoinWalsh]

Her live singing is INCREDIBLE. Like, genuinely. Her stage presence, voice, timing is everything 😭❤

[@remonagrubbs9787]

I love that voice!!

[@kaviyn13]

this is the best version omg. it sounds so soft and reflects the melancholia in the song so perfectly. she delivered the vocals so perfectly im obsessed. absolutely killed it.

[@samaramahajan8677]

her voice so angelic! she has a unique way of singing. she is just so authentic and original. I love is this version so much! going to be on repeat.

[@TheLianesanti]

I love how this song used to sound with a lot of rage but now it sounds like beong nostalgic over a failed relationship. Her voice improved a lot too.

[@leticiaaraujosperandio9383]

YASSSSS

[@MusicByJS]

I absolutely love how every single one of her performances sound completely different. Nothing's predictable.

[@mallorykrumrei7338]

this is an excellent point. i think people underestimate it but it takes such talent to be able to do that, truly.

[@honestlyali27]

"absoloutely love hoe"😭😭😭

[@ilhemrhimi6278]

she’s just unreal. the way she sings this song in a completely different version is superior. she’s the best🛐💓

[@graced.6711]

How did she manage to make the live version sound better?

[@skales78]

no comments? lemme fix that.

[@OOEF]

No REALLL

[@prnst4r]

I wish they were on Spotify 😭😭

[@DivineSora01]

The instrumental arrangement is absolutely beautiful

[@jamesdeich6102]

There are other very good live version from 2021 and 22.

[@kkO_oki]

props to who ever did the arrangement, it's amazing and so different from the recorded version

[@hannahmontana4243]

Two albums in and almost 30 songs out. Deja vu is still my favorite!!!

[@henryr3is]

SAME

[@CheynJane]

Me too ❤

[@daralinamcraeeilish]

Deja vu is also my favourite. Love it❤

[@NctzenGreen]

Maybe

[@gabspeixoto]

Her voice constantly gets better!!

I see you everywhere!

[@user-gk2bp5hb6f]

So true

[@ahumphrey79]

Way better from fr

[@superaces]

effortlessly makes a 2 year old song sound completely new, yeah we're gonna be hearing about this girl for a long, long time

[@esb1981]

What a fun arrangement of this! A different chord progression even! She is incredible.

[@joen7891]

Every time she preforms this it just gets better and better ❤

[@michelle5073]

I love how melancholy this version sounds, gives a whole other meaning to the song; absolutely beautiful 😭

[@kimbo5260]

Yes. In the original it definitely sounds like she was still sour about the situation. But here it feels like nostalgia.

[@notjelo]

she's performed deja vu so many times and i still love watching every single one... this arrangement is so amazing

[@alisha9049]

My favourite live version of Deja Vu, this is insane!!

[@shortstackofpancakes]

NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THIS VERSION HITS >>>>

[@DIYDazzleNails]

wow her vocals have gotten so much better from the first time she performed this song. love witnessing her growth throughout her career

[@shayasims]

it less about vocals and more about her being nervous shes now much more comfortable and able to be free with her voice, but her vocals have always been amazing like this

[@DIYDazzleNails]

@@shayasims she used to strain her voice a bit more while singing the high notes. less strain now

[@noelleb.3643]

Her voice is so unique and distinct, I can't name any artist who sounds like her at all. She's incredibly one of a kind

[@inretrosuspect]

The chord changes! What is this reinvention?! Angelic! My favorite song from SOUR and from Olivia's entire catalog. The lyrics is a challenge, almost taunt-like, "Yeah you're with her, but you'll never wipe me away." The final words are spoken with conviction and assurance and a little smirk cause she knows, "I KNOW YOU GET DE JA VU!"

[@Jagoda001]

Dare i say this is her best live performance, her vocals are incredible and the way she sings the bridge in this version! I want this on streaming platforms so much

[@jacobmccain8794]

I’m so tired of people comparing her to Taylor or says she is copying Taylor. I’m sorry, who made Taylor this keeper of certain music styles or doing certain things with music. Wild!? If you don’t like Olivia, just don’t listen. I like Taylor, but if I want to listen to a great lyricist who also has incredible vocal ability, I choose Olivia. I actually love Taylor, but I have appreciation for both ladies! They are both incredibly talented!

[@stream.olivia.rodrigo.]

period

[@EdwinAbili]

Periodddd ong

[@idkhonestlyyy]

period.

[@jusslee0465]

It saddened us when Taylor was given the writing credits for Deja Vu, especially considering that I can't even hear any similarities.honestly.

[@Laneysportscards]

Same Jacob!

[@lolamiley]

One of her best songs, and hearing this acoustic arrangement is just magical. Such a haunting and gorgeous song and her vocals are absolutely bone-chilling!

[@nmwh]

올리비아의 목소리는 언제나 내 마음을 녹여주네요. 그 목소리 정말 오랫동안 듣고 싶습니다.😊

[@Dowdhead]

Killer performance, love how they mixed it up. First Olivia song I heard, and still probably my fav Olivia song ❤️

[@deezjef722]

i love how much emotion you can see in her when shes singing, she is really feeling every lyric

[@LMusicloverKi09]

why is Olivia the best? She's a queen and a icon! love her!

[@Idk-rb7jv]

Car rides to Malibu Strawberry ice cream One spoon for two And trading jackets Laughing 'bout how small it looks on you (Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha) Watching reruns of Glee Being annoying Singing in harmony I bet she's bragging To all her friends, saying you're so unique, hmm So when you gonna tell her That we did that, too? She thinks it's special But it's all reused That was our place, I found it first I made the jokes you tell to her when she's with you Do you get déjà vu when she's with you? Do you get déjà vu? (Ah), hmm Do you get déjà vu, huh? Do you call her Almost say my name? 'Cause let's be honest We kinda do sound the same Another actress I hate to think that I was just your type I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel 'Cause you played her "Uptown Girl" You're singing it together Now I bet you even tell her How you love her In between the chorus and the verse (ooh) (I love you) So when you gonna tell her That we did that, too? She thinks it's special But it's all reused That was the show we talked about Played you the song she's singing now when she's with you Do you get déjà vu when she's with you? Do you get déjà vu? Oh Do you get déjà vu? Strawberry ice cream in Malibu Don't act like we didn't do that shit, too You're trading jackets like we used to do (Yeah, everything is all reused) Play her piano, but she doesn't know (oh, oh) That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel (oh) A different girl now, but there's nothing new (I know you get déjà vu)

[@lifelatelywithmj]

Now, I can sing along with this masterpiece. Thank you for this ❤.

[@thomassaby2108]

this rendition is magical, Olivia is so talented ✨🦋

[@lucydog196]

Her singing is so beautiful

[@louanndbn]

I already loved deja Vu, but wow this version is insaneeee!! Olivia’s voice and breath control really improved I’m so proud of her 🥹💜

[@moneysignngooyen]

2:49 & on... That bridge with these chord changes makes it so melancholic. This is the best rendition by far.

[@ayalakiviti6491]

Every time she sings this song it's a little bit different and I love it!!!

[@dmitriyk6142]

wow, the ending riffs and new runs are so beautiful, really shows how she has grown vocally and as a person and how she feels it differently through time

[@AnPham-main]

This stripped down version of deja vu is everything i didnt know i needed

[@juliaa259]

I love it when she sings live because she adds so much personality to her songs! Her voice is beautiful and she is so talented ❤️❤️

[@michaelvogel3443]

The beauty. The talent. THE Olivia Rodrigo!

[@shortstackofpancakes]

omg the band KILLED it

[@smellyhoover]

Since everyone seems to be in agreement that this is the best version ever performed of this song but aren’t sure why I’d just like to clarify that it’s the perfect instrument arrangement going on. The open chords being used in place of the standard A -> D in the verse and the introduction of passing minor chords notably on the A chord you hear (eg. When she sings the word special) That’s why it sounds so nostalgic and pretty, all joking aside this actually like if Nickleback wrote this song acoustically… it’s why all their music sounds ‘nostalgic’ Hope this helps

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

👌💯

[@Fig__Newton]

wow I love hearing how she has progressed the song since it first came out. she always adds a different style/take on it. wonderful!!!

[@lou120878]

The way she sings evokes so many emotions. She sounds just amazing, she can hit really high notes. What a talent!

[@arikorosz1]

So. Damn. Good. You deserve every bit of recognition you are receiving Olivia.

[@Sage-fy8cn]

she's an amazing singer, wow!

[@toluwajegede1289]

this might be her best live performance of deja vu yet

[@alvalba__]

this version of deja vu sounded astonishing, i wish i could listened to it on spotify all those changes made me adore the song even more and with her acting this is easiest one of my favorite performances of any artist ever

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@ricardomachado1194]

Olivia is an excellent singer. Furthermore, this performance shows us Olivia as a theatrical performer, with an emotional charge of someone who is interpreting the song as a storyteller.

[@heavenly2371]

this version hits different. it’s more nostalgic and longing for a someone whose no longer on your life

[@MichaelCawley-vl6fq]

She's so unique herself.. She's so deep and explanatory.. Not afraid to show her dark and light.. It's so open.. There too many young singers showing a light side who are full of darkness.. No light at all.. Olivias just so open honest and it's beautiful to see it.. Your light side is brilliant Olivia keep blinding THEM.. ❤❤❤

This sounds so classy, chic, glamourous, balledy playful while flowing with the song, and the instruments that acompane her sound so good too

[@PoopilussMcDoopiluss]

the slight key changes from the original are the cherry on top aside from her singing it softer.
