Cantando 2011

Cantando 2011 was the third season of Cantando por un Sueño, and the first season to be aired as an independent show, and not like a segment of Showmatch. It premiered on May 7, 2011, hosted by José María Listorti and Denise Dumas.

Marcelo Tinelli continued as the host of Bailando por un Sueño, the only competition included on the famous Argentinean show, Showmatch, unlike 2006 and 2007, when Cantando por un Sueño was a part of the show too, and was hosted by Tinelli.

The judges for this season were singer Valeria Lynch, music producer Óscar Mediavilla, journalist Marcelo Polino, and singer Patricia Sosa. Famous singer Paz Martínez and artistic director Reina Reech served as replacements during some weeks of the show.

Sixteen couples started the competition, and on December 18, 2011, famous singer Patricio Giménez (brother of Susana Giménez) and professional singer and partner Priscila Juárez, were crowned as the winners, against comedian Álvaro Navia and Ana Paula Rodríguez, during the finale.

Meanwhile, the semi-finalists during this season were model and comedian Belén Francese and Augusto Álvarez, and former contestants of the first season of Soñando por Bailar, Andrea López and Jonathan González. López and González were eliminated against Giménez and Juárez during the first semi-final, while Francese and Álvarez were eliminated against Navia and Rodríguez, during the second semi-final.
