Jeremih: 'Birthday Sex'

His 'Birthday Sex' is a plinky-plonky, R Kelly-style slow jam that never gets close to a musical climax. Oddly enough, his vocals sound almost neutered, while the lyrics alternate between the cheesy ("Without a broom I might sweep you off your feet") and the crass ("I improv between your legs"). It's no abomination, but writing a song called 'Birthday Sex' and making it as mundane as this is quite an achievement.

The two things teens think about, Birthdays and Sex! Bring them together and you get unwanted teen pregnancies, I blame Jeremy (How it should be spelt)

Utter rubbish. Just another Chris Brown or Usher wannabe.
LOVE IT! GREAT TUNE! 'CRUDE TITLE?' SEX IS THE MOST NATURAL THING IN THIS WORLD!!!
Absolutely awful. This is probably one of the worst songs I've heard this year. Four minutes of complete and utter sh**e
What an awful song. Every copy should. be. burnt. And the beginning bit, before he starts singing, it sounds really scary, and the "whaaaaa" bit in the background x x
This song rocks!
I totally disagree with you. You sound like a hater! Great job Jeremih!
Awful. Just, awful.
birthday sex... it's the best time of year lol!
I have to say it's awful. Terribly irritating.

This song is so cheesy and the lyrics are bad. If this getys into top ten this will be a disaster.
such a crude title and lyrics! apart from that i think it's ok. nothing special but it's got a fairly decent melody to it.
O-M-G I LOVE IT!
What are u on abt First of all i heard this song ages ago so it's hardly new Second it is ver good song, i love it so whats with the review Thirdly- ALEX FROM THE US - I heard this song agess agon n i've heard it so many times now n i'm not sick of it...
This song's ok...but after hearing it on the radio a gazillion times, it's extremely grating and u immediately want to change the station...his acoustic version with just him and the piano is decent
O-M-G I LOVE IT!
