- As our readers/followers are likely aware of by now, “Jersey Girl” star Raquel Castro is now a star on NBC’s hit summer series “The Voice”. The program features singers who were chosen based solely on their voice, and are now coached by one of 4 celebrity mentors. Castro is a member of Christina Aguilera’s team, and survived an early battle round against another female singer. This past Monday, she kicked off the show with a rockin’ performance of Ke$ha’s “Blow”, which had Aguilera out of her chair with excitement.
Now, it’s the audience’s turn to help their favorites move through the competition. Since Monday’s show, fans have been able to vote for a “save”. Of the 4 members of each celebrity team, one will be given the “audience save” which is determined by the top number of votes from the public. Another of the 4 will be saved by their mentor. The remaining 2 will go home. While we’re fairly certain that Christina would love to see Raquel continue on, and would save her as well, we’d love for the audience to choose her as the fave. So here’s how you can do it, all the way up until 10 AM this Monday morning, EST:
- Call 1-855-VOICE-01 TOLL-FREE up to 10 times which directly casts a vote for her.
- Vote up to 10 times at the NBC.com Web site.
- Download her performance from iTunes for $1.29 which gets you a copy of the song, and also counts as a vote towards Raquel.
You can vote up to 10 times per voting method (though we’re assuming you’re not going to download the song 10 times, you can, and have it count). Calls and web-based votes are simple and should only take you a few minutes. News Askew is a proud supporter of Team Raquel, and hope to see her move forward in the competition, which has topped the summer television rankings this year. Good luck!
