![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
"American Idol" has been trying to make Robbie Carrico into this season's Chris Daughtry (except for the hair) -- but it's pretty obvious he's a lot closer to being the next Clay Aiken. 
Check out this snippet of "Caught in the Middle" from Carrico's 2001 boyband called BFactor. You don't need Simon to tell you how bad it is.

BFactor was awesome! They are the nicest guys ever. Don't knock them until you know them.

It wasn't bad at all.I'm not a fan of "boy fand" music, but it sounded every bit as "good" as anything by N-sync. In fact it sound liked N-sync.
He should forget the rock, he sounds more like a pop singer.

you people are so out of it...first you post this, when it's of very little importance since he was voted off last week and it appears that you don't even realize that...and then ripping off the Vote For The Worst Noreiga video and claiming that you discovered it. Skip the Idol stuff...you guys don't know what you're doing.

Can you people even be bothered to watch the show or read? First you claim Munster Nurse girl got voted off, which she didn't. Now you claim this bozo that got voted off is a 'hopeful'. Pay Attention!

ok so he sang pop in the old days? so what? he's got a rock band now and his music IS rock....and it's good. no wig. and he was also in another boy band too but oh well he made more money by the time he was 16 than you probably have!!!
and he was good. luke sucks worse than him.
and vote for the worst just makes american idol a stupid show to watch anyway.

You guys are out to lunch. He sounds nothing like Clay Aiken. Clay is awesome! You should hear him sing the song that Ruben is supposed to record for the official boot song. Clay sang "Celebrate Me Home" in concerts 3 years ago. Look on YouTube.

My little girl would go for that kind of music. I don't think it's bad at all. I just think that the people who don't like it have forgotten what it is like to be a 13 year old girl. It's just bubble gum music. It has it's place in the world.
