[edit] Overview

Boyz N Girlz United had a minor hit in 2000 with "Messed Around", the single that was written by former NSYNC member JC Chasez and released a full album that same year. They toured with Britney Spears in Europe and also were part of the All that Music and More Festival that the group appeared in the U.S in the summer of 2000. However, by the end of the year, the group disbanded. Carrico was also a member of the short-lived boy band trio, B-Factor in 2000.

Former member Robbie Carrico auditioned for season 7 of American Idol and was able to make it to the top 24. He was eliminated in the top 20 after just two weeks. During his time in the competition, Simon questioned Carrico's authenticity as a rock singer.
