Raquel Castro Leaps From Big Screen to Big Stage on ‘The Voice’

Raquel Castro, a 16-year-old girl from New York, is no stranger to Hollywood, having appeared in the film 'Jersey Girl' as well as the 'Runaway Love' music video (with Ludacris and Mary J. Blige). And she just may have landed her biggest role yet with her performance of Leona Lewis' 'Bleeding Love' for her audition on 'The Voice.'

Despite her young age, Castro has been working in films for several years. She debuted on the big screen in 'Jersey Girl' as the daughter of the characters played by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. For that role, she won a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Feature Film.

The diminutive singer commanded the stage when she performed in the presence of the superstar coaches, and her rendition of 'Bleeding Love' earned her a spot on Christina Aguilera's team.

In a blog post after the audition, Castro couldn't contain her excitement: "OMG, Christina turned around for me!" she wrote. "I'm on her team! I feel like I'm in a dream right now!!"
