Boyz-N-Girlz United - Boyz-N-Girlz United (2000)

Boyz-N-Girlz United was yet another obvious attempt to cash in on the teen pop craze. It is simply *NSync meet Britney, down to the bouncy beats and word pronunciation (e.g. Instead of fanta-see they pronounce it fanta-say. LOL). They didn't really offer anything new, aside from being a co-ed group, and with teen pop groups like The Party having appeared some time before them, even that wasn't really original. They were produced by the same slew of producers that worked with *Nsync, they opened for Britney on tour, and *NSync member J.C. Chasez even co-wrote a couple of their songs, including their first single, "Messed Around". That song made a very minor dent on the chart, and it's remix was a minor dance hit (I love the remix of it on this album, BTW). The follow-up "That's What You Get" went unnoticed, and they disbanded soon after. Nothing much has been heard from most of the crew (Criss Ruiz, Rina Mayo, Daniel Dix) since, but one member, Robbie Carrico, did make it to the Top 24 on American Idol, in the 'guise' of a rocker, provoking Simon's ire and his assessment that Carrico was a fake. With this album as proof, he was no doubt right.
