  1. hmmm

    I’ve always liked him as a bg singer. Lemme check it out!

  2. HUMBLEBEAUTY314

    I wish the song complimented his voice more. I think that a ballad would’ve been a better look for him. He’s talented though I’m not gonna lie.

    It’s OK. He’s obviously a great singer but i think he’s doing too much, vocals are a bit too aggressive at times… like he’s tryna prove sumthin. LOL, and I’m like…”take it easy there brother, we KNOW u got the chops…just sing it to us, don’t scream it to us!”

    Plus I hear some harmony issues in the hook, note-wise>>> “…any-THING” part.

    Wish him well tho, seems like he’s a true ARTIST.

  4. Blogger of Shoes! Check it out...

    he looks and sounds great..

  5. Blogger of Shoes! Check it out...

    he looks nice

  6. Who Cares?

    is it me or is the beat the very similar to the remix to snoop dogg’s sexual eruption with robyn?

  7. LOL @ 4. I was thinking the same thing. He was coming hard during some of those runs.

    This song grew on me for the past couple of the days. I like it.

  8. blackandmild

    He’s very talented. I remember seeing Alicia in concert and he overshadowed her on Diary. I’ll support the brother but he needs to calm down and come with better material. This is a bit over the top.

    #4 You must be in the business, cause you called it right. At any rate, it’s refreshing to finally see new R&B talent. Real talent. But, sometimes when an artist gets to comfortable singing background, its hard to make the transition to lead. Luther and Anthony Hamilton are prime examples of artist who made it.

  10. Island Beat!

    oh this is the dude from Diary? this song is aiight. i like his song better on Diary.

  11. thatsjustthewayitis

    yaaaaaaaaaaayyy Jermaine! So proud of him! =)
    Now let me listen to this song! lol.

  12. thatsjustthewayitis

  13. Mutada al sader the king

    Not Ipod worthy. Good singer. Terrible tracks. Ok song.

  14. MsGee

    Angel WHY isn’t there an ALTERNATE LINK to this song??!! I LOVE IT!!

  15. dar

    some of y’all killing me with that oversinging nonsense. so many current R&B singers have tainted the genre with weak vocals, wimpy pop melodies and lame arrangements, to the point where people don’t appreciate a big, expressive, soulful vocalist. this may not be the best material, but at least he’s singing, and the vocals make the song better (i feel). i’ll clap for that all day.

    is this guy doing too much, or are a lot of other people simply not doing enough?

  16. *«SOLiD RiCH GiRL»*

    He has a real soulful voice and I think his album will be some good grown R&B.

  17. JayleesDAD

    This is what today’s music is missing…TALENT! Don’t get it twisted…Jermaine is what the game has been missing! Go get it homie!!!

  18. slim

    i think its just aiight….

  19. BLACK-IVORY

    i’ve always loved his voice, i think a gonna be a great singer…but he could have done much better but the song is ok.

  20. liyah

    reminds me of ginuwine sometimes

  21. Slim Thug (504)

    I like the song… it’s soulful!! i can’t wait for the album!!.
    My dude J.P. !!

  22. Q*U*E*E*`N

    he sounds great…. i LOVE it!!! i’m officially a fan!!!

  23. Ashley

    I’ve heard of JP since 2005 or so, and really got into his music this year. It’s so great to hear his own music…and I’m diggin’ it! Definitely a REAL artist with REAL music. None of the ish we hear these days from so called “artists”. Keep it up, Jermaine! Much love!

  24. .K.

    yeah, this is the same beat to sexual seduction remix. but he sounds nice.

  25. Congo City

    Not sure what people are talking about i am an R&B fanatic and i think his voice is absolutely gorgeous. Loved his ass on DIARY he overshadowed AKeys flat ass voice lol. I agree with somebody else said artists aren’t required to sing anymore ummm Rihanna you can just have a winy ass voice and make it. I love people who can actually sing like this guy, Anthony Hamilton, Maxwell, Trey Songz etc…those with vocals

  26. D.Marie

    Sounds good I love him on diary him and AKeys sound good together.

  27. felicia

    fuck a song people fuck a song….got damn i love the song because I want him to sng that shit to me…fucks that…lmbao. oh baby Im in the big apple angry at this damn man and i go online to see your sexy fine chocolate beautiful smiling face.. You can sing Diary to me because mama will be your secret..yes indeedy…oh i want tell nobody oh i want tell nobody. Isnt that what he says in Alicia Keys song Diary. ladies if you’ve never heard of this honey. check out AK song Diary 12 youtube. This brother starts harnonizing from beginning to end but near the end you really hear his powerful lungs. Good goobly fucking goo. Make a bitch want to slap her pappi because mama will tear your ass up

  28. Tapiwe

    I like him n the song is OK.

  29. Allen_J

    #19 Mannnnn I totally agree with you . I saw a comment saying back down no F that sang that song man. You have all these people singing with no feeling and no effort. R&b has always been about feeling. Yea he has a poppish beat but it’s only to get your attention. He kills this song though and I will be buying an album when it comes out

  30. Forreal

    The management behind this man is doing it right… his voice sounds amazing… can’t wait to hear it with that acoustic guitar on his back, Check Youtube…they figure drop him on a catchy beat than hit the world hard with the real Jermaine Paul… Soul Pop R&B… If I could call him one thing it would be THE TRUTH!

  31. Destined

    I have yet to hear the song BUT I just wanna say………….THE BROTHER IS FINE!!!

  32. Z

    19.

    I know remember the 90s when they used to SANG. Blackstreet, boyz ll men, Dru Hill ect. They all used to sing with aggression. Ppl except foolery like The Dream, Jeramiah whatever is name is. They can’t even sing.

  33. **PRETTY WINGS***

    this song is not written in the right note for his voice… thats all..

    this song would have complimented someone with a deeper voice

    he needs a more melodic low note range song to compliment his tenor voice

    hes not bass so the high frequency beat clashes

  34. Paradise Janee

    WHO THE HELL IS HE????????????????

  35. LuvRayne

    FINALLY!!!!!!! A refreshing R&B male with pipes for days. When the album comes out I’m buying it. I can’t stop listening to this song and I love when the beat breaks.

  36. Nelly Girl

    Hot!!!! I would buy the CD.

    Something different i feel the beat fresh different unique.
    I love the background sounds you can feel all the beats.
    something that is never heard and can feel the flow.

    He is good!
    Congrad!!!!

    Write some for Chris Brown I think you and him would hit it off on sounds.

  37. backingbarack

    sounds like a day 26 record

  38. Alex

    Great song. I’ve listened to Jermaine’s tracks from his mixtape and I was waiting for this album. Great singer, great artist. Waiting for that album.

  39. KevLee

    This is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I Love It!!!! I Love his voice. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. kia

    Its a great song, just sad that its SAMPLED…..
    Snoop doog ft Robyn rmx – sensuall eruption

  41. Let's B Real

    I love it. I just don’t like that he sounds like Genuwine on this particular song. I’d like to hear other songs from him. I would also like for him to consider, if he hasn’t, writing for Genuwine or Usher.

  42. LOVINJP

    I think Jermaine’s vocals are absolutely amazing on this track. For everyone that says he’s pushing too hard vocally, I think that’s just what the industry needs. So many people in the business are barely even singing so how are we going to criticize a man with true talent? I’m LOVING this single and I think he’s definitely one of the most talented artists out there right now. Keep doin your thing JP!!!

  43. @WORKTRIPPIN

    Sing Rev. Paul! I am such a fan. He’s saved and SANGIN! Get it Jermaine!

  44. hood_shit

    love Jermaine but this should have come out TWO years ago….

  45. FallBackHaters

    Damn dude can sing.

  46. Justus

    Compared to what he’s really capable of, the song was just aight. I’ve heard him sing live and he’s great. However, if this is what we have to look forward to as his sound being a solo artist, he can stay with Alicia Keys and tour with her as a background vocalist. This is usually the case though. The bomb singer who is loved and known underground as a great talent… finally gets a deal and the music doesn’t display the singers true vocal ability. As a result, the artist doesn’t get their proper respect in the industry and don’t sell records. Examples are Lil’ Mo, Kelly Price, Jaguar Wright, Melanie Daniels and the list goes on. Another one bites the dust.

  47. Brandon

    Although I really did enjoy the track, I would have to say that I expected a little more. I took particular notice of him during Alicia Key’s Unplugged and thoroughly enjoyed his vocals. It gave me an idea of how dynamic he is as well as his sound differing from the average R&B male vocal heard from day to day radio. I would suggest him singing over live instrumentation although I honestly do think he did a very good job with it. Would just love to hear him at his best on a solo project. I really believe Jermaine may have what it takes to be a successful recording artist. Hopefully who ever is backing him will take his suggestions as to the direction of his sound and be willing to support that decision financially.

  48. mzbrown

    I always said if he ever came out on a solo project I would be ALL FOR IT!! He KILLED the backgrounds for “Diary” definitely made me fall for the song! This song is nice, can’t wait for him to really let loose on a track(lookin for that tingly feelin again lol). I’ll def be clearing a spot for him in the ipod!

  49. mellowyel

    i wish there was a “like” option on these polls – i’m feeling it but not enough to say it’s hot

  50. IF YOU DONT KNOW MUSIC

    HE IS AWESOME. AND REAL MUSIC FLOWS OUT OF HIM. HE IS THE FUTURE OF MUSIC AND IF YOU CANT SEE IT GET YOUR EYES CHECKED. I THINK WE MUST LOOK AT THE REST OF HIS WORK. I WAS BLESSED TO LISTEN TO SOME OF HIS ORIGINAL WORK AT THE BLUE NOTE IN MANHATTAN. YOU CANT DENY HIS TALENT. PLEASE KEEP GOING DON’T STOP TILL YOU GET TO THE TOP. YOU HAVE A FAN IN ME JP
