In 2011, Arena was a judge on the French version of ''[[The Sing-Off]]'' TV singing competition program, alongside two other judges, French singer [[Michel Jonasz]], and French artistic director of radio and television Nathalie André. The program was broadcast on [[France 2]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Tina-Arena/news-75303.html|title=France 2 : "The Sing-Off" à la rentrée avec Tina Arena, Soprano & M.
