Musical career

In 2005, Rosangela auditioned for a spot on the second season of the Puerto Rican reality/talent show Objetivo Fama. Rosangela reached the semi-finals before being eliminated.

Shortly after her departure from the show, Puerto Rican salsa singer, Gilberto Santa Rosa, approached Rosangela to record a duet with him. The song, titled "Hablando Claro", was featured in Santa Rosa's 2006 album, Directo al Corazón.[1][2]

In 2007, Rosangela auditioned for the second season of Latin American Idol, another talent show competition. During the show, she was known for a powerful voice and a good stage presence. A wildcard pick on the show, she received favorable reviews of the judges and the celebrity coaches as well. She was the only female to make it into the Top 3 that season, but was voted off September 20, 2007.
