As an adult, i'm very critical of today's pop music that is aimed at a youthful audience. So much of it is pure garbage, and i'm especially disappointed at the music industry at just how much trashy crappy rap music has invaded the top twenty pop charts and is polluting the airwaves. Boyz N Girlz United i picked up on a whim and was pleasantly surprised at how good this cd is. Sure, it's another packaged group of two guys and two girls who sing to programmed backup tracks, but the beats and music are good, and the vocals are all good. What i like most is that this cd is clean, and has content that is suitable for all ages to hear. The dance tracks are all solid and very catchy. The slow songs are not bad, with the best of the ballads being Beautiful You, of which the music perfectly compliments the vocals. The weakest song on the whole disc is Lifetime, which is a forgetable slow song, and i generally skip over. Otherwise, the rest of the songs are very good. The song Always is a remake of an 80s song by Atlantic Star. The original version is pretty good, though not outstanding, and i'm just wondering why that was chosen as a remake? I do have to admit that the new version showcases the vocals and harmonies of the group really well. All in all this is a good cd to pick up for anyone who likes NSync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Five, or any of the other current teen groups. The dance music has a similar vibe to those groups. I have the feeling this will be the only cd from this group, as many of these groups tend to be one-time-only packaged marketing experiments to see what will and won't work. In this case it did work, and i enjoyed this cd very much.
Great!

Boyz N Girlz United may just be brushed off as another pop act, but, they don't deserve to be. Their CD showcases their amazing vocal talent for a type of group so basically unheard of. JC from NSync did a fabulous job with the 2 songs he wrote and produced for the group, "Messed Around" and "Can't Stop Loving You". Robbie and Daniel from BnG co-wrote "Dance With Me", and did a marvelous job. Their true vocal talents are showcased on "Beautiful You", "Lifetime", and the remake of "Always" by Atlantic Star. Other great tracks are "That's What You Get", and "They Say". They make you have fun, which is what music is suppose to do, right? "Lost", and the jazzy "Just Gotta Make You Mine" are great ways to end the CD. A definate must-have!
Get CD!

I just bought this CD, and already I can tell they have potential. I saw them in concert about a year ago, and was anxiously awaiting the CD. The really good songs are "Messed Around" "Dance With Me" "That's What You Get" and "They Say". I highly suggest that you buy this CD. If you like Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, Britney Spears, or Christina Aguilera, then get this CD; it's like having the best of both world's in one!
Awesome!

Hey all you girls out there! This CD is awesome! At first I just bought it because I've talked with Robbie (the dark blonde) and so I wanted to get to hear his music. But now that I've listened to it, I'm hooked! It has some really catchy songs like "Messed Around" and "Can't Stop Loving You" (both written by J.C. from NSYNC, so it's gaurenteed to be great! ), there's also great dance songs like "They Say" "That's What You Get" and "Dance With Me". Anyways, I would really suggest going out and getting this CD, you'll some good music and Robbie's really cute too! = )
