Angélica started her carreer at 4, when she won a contest to chose Brazil's most beautiful children at the popular variety show hosted by Chacrinha. At 13, she became famous when she replaced Xuxa as the host of the kids show Clube da Criança. Her popularity exploded when her hit single Vou de Taxi (remake of Joe le Taxi, by french singer Vanessa Paradis) topped the brazilian charts. Vou de Taxi became a classic song and is remember by pratically the whole brazilian population even after more than 20 years since the release of the song. She also starred on the popular mini-serie O Guarani.
In 1993, she signed with the second most popular channel in Brazil, SBT and started presenting the kids variety show Casa da Angelica (Angelica's House), which was a big hit. Her popularity was bigger than ever and she also hosted popular teen game show Passa ou Repassa and TV Animal.
In 1996 she signed a milionaire contract with media-giant Globo and started hosting her own show, Angel Mix every weekday morning, which was followed by Caça Talentos (Talent Hunter), a soap opera starred by her. The ratings were huge and she became even bigger than Xuxa, being the first time any TV female host had surpassed her in popularity. Sales of her merchandising and CDs were huge.
But soon, after the initial boom, the ratings begin to decline and she changed the format of the show several times. While in 1996 Angélica was unbeatable among kids, in 1997 she lost popularity to Chiquititas (that year, Angélica album sold 300,000 copies against 800,000 copies by the Chiquititas cast), but she was still very popular untill 1999. In 1998, she had 250 products with her name and made more money than Xuxa in licensing (the Angelica shoes by Grendene sold over 1 million pairs in 5 months; in the same period her cereal sold over 7 million boxes and her nailpolish sold 4 million). The sucess of her products were even more remarkable because unlike Eliana (3rd on the list) and Gugu (4th), she didn't promoted her product-line during her show.
Finally, she decided to end her carreer as a child show host and, with only three monts for her contract with Globo to end, she was chose as the host for Video Game, a five minutes segment on celebrity news show Video Show. Video Game was a game-show were two celebrities would compete against each other during the whole week. The segment made the Video Show rating double and what was suppose to be a 2001 summer-only 5 minute segment became a 20 minutes block (half of the show) which is still aired and still has big ratings every afternoon.
The success of Video Show made Angélica popularity climb a lot again and she was soon starring in lots of advertising campaign and appearing in magazine covers. She also hosted the first two seasons of Fama, brazilian version of Operacion Triunfo.
In 2003 her relationship with fellow host Luciano Huck became the biggest celebrity news of the year (they had already dated before) and after their marriage, they become the country favorite couple, starring in lots of advertising campaigns. They had a son, Joaquim, in 2005.
Since her well-received return to television hosting Video Show, Globo started to plan projects for her, but her own show finally started in April 2006. Estrelas (Stars) is a show where Angelica interview stars and show their intimacy (house, hobbies, etc). The show is the leader on it's time-slot and it's aired every Saturday after Caldeirão do Huck, her husband show.
Acting carreer
Angelica had her first acting role on the succeful mini-series O Guarani at Manchete. During the late 80s and early 90s, she had roles in several Os Trapalhões movies (Os Trapalhões movies are always huge hits).
She returned to acting in 1998, she had a starring role in Simão, o Fantasma Trapalhão, Didi's (Os Trapalhões leader) movie and starred in her own movie, Zoando na TV. Both movies were very well-received by the public.
In 2004, Angelica was again one of the biggest TV hosts in Brazil thanks to Video Game popularity and Globo decided to release another movie with her in the leading role but the teen-oriented movie Um Show de Verão (which she starred with real life boyfriend Luciano Huck) didn't achieve the expected results, in part because it was PG-14.
In 1996, she starred on kids drama show Caça Talentos, which was aired daily after Angel Mix. While the show was a huge hit in the beginning, ratings soon started to decline and in 1999 it was replaced by Fada Bela, where she played a fairy. The show wasn't succeful either and was replaced by Bambulua, where she played a super-hero, which again, wasn't succeful.
At the end of 1996, at the peak of her popularity, she starred in a special and highly-promoted live special of popular sitcom Saí de Baixo and in 2001 she had a recurring role on soap opera Un Anjo Caiu do Céu, where she played an angel called Angelina.
On the news
After going to Globo and becoming a big star, the media became obsessed about Angélica: during the late-90s, they discussed her virginity (because, at the time, she only had two boyfriends) and her relationships with Marcio Garcia, Mauricio Manieri (who his drugs problems) and Luciano Hulk.
In 2004, rumours about Angélica and Luciano Hulk being a couple again started and they both declined, but paparazzi pictures of both of them in Aspen surfaced and ended at Contigo! cover. Since them, their marriage, the born of their first son and their vacations were all acompanied by gossip magazines.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mas no fundo eu me sinto bem mais feliz
Ele ainda me diz segredos no meu ouvido
Eu duvido, mas amar é tudo que eu sempre quis
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Tudo começou quando a aula acabou
Foi no recreio, ele me acertou em cheio
Flecha de amor só ganha quem merecer
A primeira flecha ninguém esquece
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Ele me liga todo dia às seis
Depois sou eu que ligo às sete
Eu jogo vôlei e ele joga basquete
Vamos dançar na festa da Bete
Eu só contei pra minha melhor amiga
E no diário fiz um coração
As meninas querem que eu diga
Que eu diga o nome da minha paixão
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Ele me liga todo dia às seis
Depois sou eu que ligo às sete
Eu jogo vôlei e ele joga basquete
Vamos dançar na festa da Bete
Eu só contei pra minha melhor amiga
E no diário fiz um coração
As meninas querem que eu diga
Que eu diga o nome da minha paixão
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
Meu herói, ele é cupido
The lyrics of Angélica's song "Flecha de Amor" speak of the feeling of falling in love, specifically as experienced by a young girl. The song begins with the declaration that the heart has been wounded by Cupid's arrow, but that despite this, the person feels happier than they have before. The singer admits that Cupid still whispers secrets in their ear, and although they may doubt it, they know deep down that loving someone is all they have ever wanted.
The melody of the song is upbeat and optimistic, reflecting the excitement and joy of falling in love for the first time. The following verses recall the initial meeting of the two lovers during recess, where the male protagonist hit the girl with his "love arrow," and the ensuing exchange of phone calls and invitations to events.
The song's main message is the feeling of being swept away by love, such that the person feels as if they have been struck by Cupid's arrow. The repetition of the phrase "flecha de amor não dói" (love arrow doesn't hurt) emphasizes the idea that love, although scary and new, is ultimately a positive experience. It speaks to the innocence and youthfulness of the singer's experience of first love.

Coração ferido pela flecha de um cupido
My heart was wounded by Cupid's arrow
Mas no fundo eu me sinto bem mais feliz
But deep down I feel much happier
Ele ainda me diz segredos no meu ouvido
He still whispers secrets in my ear
Eu duvido, mas amar é tudo que eu sempre quis
I doubt it, but loving is all I've ever wanted
Tudo começou quando a aula acabou
It all started when class ended
Foi no recreio, ele me acertou em cheio
It was during recess, he hit me straight on
Flecha de amor só ganha quem merecer
Cupid's arrow only hits those who deserve it
A primeira flecha ninguém esquece
No one ever forgets their first arrow
Ele me liga todo dia às seis
He calls me every day at six
Depois sou eu que ligo às sete
Then I call him at seven
Eu jogo vôlei e ele joga basquete
I play volleyball and he plays basketball
Vamos dançar na festa da Bete
We are going to dance at Bete's party
Eu só contei pra minha melhor amiga
I only told my best friend
E no diário fiz um coração
And in my diary, I drew a heart
As meninas querem que eu diga
The girls want me to say
Que eu diga o nome da minha paixão
That I say the name of my crush
Meu herói, flecha de amor não dói
My hero, Cupid's arrow doesn't hurt
Meu herói, ele é cupido
My hero, he is Cupid

Letra:
(Introdução)
Coração ferido pela flecha de um cupido

Bem mais feliz
Ele ainda me diz, segredos do meu ouvido
Eu duvido mais amar, é tudo que eu sempre quis
Meu herói
Flecha de amor não doí
Meu herói
Ele é cupido ×2

Foi no recreio e ele me acertou em cheio
Flecha de amor, só ganha quem merece
A primeira flecha, ninguém esquece
Meu herói
Flecha de amor não doí
Meu herói
Ele é cupido ×2
Ele me liga todo dia às 6 (Alô?)
Depois sou eu quem ligo às 7 (Oi!)
Eu jogo volei e ele joga basquete, vamos dançar na festa da Bete
Eu só contei pra minha melhor amiga e no diário eu fiz um coração
As meninas querem que eu diga (Ah, diz!), eu digo o nome da minha paixão
Meu herói
Flecha de amor não doí
Meu herói
Ele é cupido ×2
(Interlúdio)
Ele me liga todo dia às 6 (Alô?)
