Fellow Australian celebrities have praised Arena's vocal prowess with [[Delta Goodrem]] saying, "Her voice has strength whilst keeping its feminine warmth to draw you in." Melbourne singer-songwriter, [[Michael Paynter]] hailed Arena as "simultaneously the most natural and supernatural female Australian voice ever. She is technically and emotionally perfect, but somehow always has enough of a sniff of imperfection and rawness to make you not only believe every word, but be hanging off them too." [[Ricki-Lee Coulter]] also says that "She has so much control and power". [[Missy Higgins]] also commented that, "Tina Arena is one of our best singers ever. She could sing the balls off anyone, and she's miniature." [[Brian Mannix]] says, "Tina Arena has a tasteful voice. She sells the lyrics with her big voice but never over-sings." [[Birds of Tokyo]] frontman Ian Kenny says, "Tina Arena can sing the shit out of anything, and do it in four different languages!" Anthony Callea added, "Technically, she is faultless and her tone is unique and warm. I love that she goes against all the 'singers' rules'—I've seen what she eats and drinks before a gig!"<ref name="News.com.au"/> Darren Hayes also made an effort in letting the public know that Arena's voice is one of his favourite voices in Australia through Twitter.<ref>{{cite news|last=Adams|first=Cameron|title=John Farnham voted Australia's best singer of all time by panel of his peers|url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/john-farnham-voted-australias-best-singer-of-all-time-by-panel-of-his-peers/story-e6frexl9-1226610268921|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130624214854/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/john-farnham-voted-australias-best-singer-of-all-time-by-panel-of-his-peers/story-e6frexl9-1226610268921|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 June 2013|access-date=22 July 2013|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|date=2 April 2013|agency=News Limited}}</ref>

Arena records songs and albums in English, French, Italian and Spanish. She has stated that she does not record French versions of her English-language popular hits, because too often the intention of the song gets "lost in translation"; therefore, she has always chosen to write in both languages.<ref name="outinperth.com"/>

Arena's musical influences include [[Barbra Streisand]], [[Carole King]], [[Dusty Springfield]], [[Petula Clark]], [[Aretha Franklin]] and various Italian singers. She has noted that in a non-musical perspective, [[Princess Diana]] inspired her and called her "a great role model for women".<ref name="talking heads"/>
