The duo also missed their music video filming for the promotion of their song, declaring that they had some concerts in the United States. Furthermore, their song "Lovestruck" was the subject of plagiarism accusations, but it was proven that these accusations were wrong.[7][8][9]

In 2008, Indiggo qualified for the top 40 semi-finals on Season 3 of America's Got Talent, a reality show competition. The audience were booing at Indiggo and judge Piers Morgan called Mihaela and Gabriela Modorcea "the worst dancers and the worst singers in the entire competition" and they were eliminated from the competition.[10][11]
