"Idol" Contestant Un-Wigged!

Prior to putting on his sexy Bret Michaels™ hairpiece, "American Idol" wannabe Robbie Carrico's hairtastrophes were limited to spiky highlights.
Robbie Carrico
Back in 2001, Robbie, who is this season's Timberfake, was a boybander in something called B-Factor and rocked his very own gelled locks.

Hair -- like fame -- can be a fleeting thing.

16. I don't think he's wearing a wig, but if he were... so what? Every other girl on that stage wears a wig or has extensions, what difference does it make if a guy does it? None. Yawn.

18. I actually don't think rock is his music
back in 2001 he looks like something fresh out of the Backstreet Boys
He really should go back to the way he looked
now he just looks old!

19. Um actually the band he was in was called "Boyz N Girlz United" and it was 2 guys and 2 girls.


I met Robbie and he's super nice and cute. He does not wear a wig. I love TMZ but good God, check your facts. So annoying.People hate on him for being in a boy band then for "wearing a wig" . Get over it idiots.

21. Umm, that other picture was obviously taken a long time ago. He could've grew it out by now. Get a life.

22. Come on people, he's a young dude that was in a boy band who now wants to 'rock' and thinks he needs a wig, facial hair and those horrible trendy lether wrist straps to do it. You really think people like myself are just going to let that fly with your "he's just a person, nodbody is perfect" crap. Trust me, if Daughtry (sp?) wore a long wig on AI he'd be playing a dive bar in his hometown tonight but only after his shift at Gas n' Go.

24. B-factor were nobodies atleast the other band he was in Boys n Girls United were actually known for the time. They opened for LFO back when they were big. Sadly I have a picture of me and him together. He seems completely fake now, but I stil listen to thir single 'messed around' occasionally. Cute cheesy pop, with a cute cheesy muic video aswell.
