DON'T CRY FOR THEM, ARGENTINA. Lynelle Kenned, Chamendran Naidoo, getting further opportunities.

You're reading it here first. 

They will be fine - I can reveal that the My Top Billing Dream contestants like Lynelle Kenned and Chamendran Naidoo who didn't make it (since Jonathan Boynton-Lee won)  are fielding offers and already have opportunities and tantalising prospects after their exposure on the reality show.

A reliable source told me that Chamendran Naidoo, a Navy doctor will be making some appearances on The Dr Mol Show on SABC3 in future with Michael Mol - in what capacity, for how long and what the extend of that will be is not yet clear.

Then there's Lynelle Kenned, the opera singer from Paarl who sang a duet with the Welsh Katherine Jenkins in the My Top Billing Dream finale which was shown Tuesday evening on SABC3.

In a terrific made-for-TV moment (and according to reliable sources close to the production final confirmation was only clinched super early this morning!) Katherine Jenkins had a big surprise for Lynelle Kenned live on the air on Expresso this morning on SABC3.

The Welsh singer asked Lynelle Kenned if she wants to sing a song on stage during Katherine Jenkins' stage show this Friday evening at the GrandWest arena.

"I wondered if you would want to come and perform your own number at my show on Friday?" Katherine Jenkins said. "It would be incredible! I would love that! Yes! Yes! Of course!" a stunned and surprised Lynelle Kenned said.

Of course their is also already talk that Lynelle Kenned could be joining SABC2's Pasella as a new presenter soon. She is actually Afrikaans and since Top Billing "stole" Jo-Anne Strauss a few years back ago Pasella, rumours are swirling in the industry that Top Billing might now give Lynelle Kenned the opportunity to possibly join Pasella after they've discovered her.

On Tuesday evening I asked Lynelle Kenned about that. "I don't anything about it at the moment but it would be wonderful. I love singing, I love opera and I would like to continue to do that; if its possible to keep singing and to fit in some TV work that would be wonderful, I just don't know if that would be possible," the bubbly contestant told me.

ENDING ON A HIGH NOTE. The My Top Billing Dream finale tonight sees the final 4 contestants battle it out interviewing musicians.

In the finale tonight at 20:00 on SABC3 from Cape Town of the My Top Billing Dream reality show looking for a new Top Billing presenter, there will be 4 contestants remaining instead of the originally planned 3.

Lynelle Kenned, Chamendran Naidoo, Zama Ncgobo and Jonathan Boynton-Lee are the 4 contestants who will hear tonight who got a contract with South Africa's longest running, uninterrupted TV show.

As to why there is 4 and not just 3 contestants in tonight's final episode, Tswelopele Productions told me that "the judges thought about this long and hard - and decided that it would be more exciting viewing if there were 4 finalists contesting for the one spot - not just 3".

The show switched to a limited-run reality format for the past few weeks and saw eager viewers engaging on social media around the favourites as the contestants were whittled down one by one during real-life TV production challenges behind-the-scenes.

The show had planned an additional action adventure challenge for tonight's My Top Billing Dream finale, "but we felt we had covered this type of challenge sufficiently already in the 7 August episode," the production tells me. "We allocated the time that would have gone to the adventure challenge to the fourth contestant".

The finale of My Top Billing Dream was shot at the studios in Sea Point where Michael Mol records his weekly Dr Mol Show for SABC3, one floor down in the highrise building where the penthouse is the Expresso morning show studios.

Viewers will see Zama Ngcobo interview the South African musician Toya Delazy and Lynelle Kenned (left) will do a profile piece on the Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins.

Jonathan Boynton-Lee will interview the musical phenom Paige Mac, and Chamendran Naidoo will hang out with the instrumental band Sterling EQ.

According to the producers the final task "is about the key of linking the show together - doing the studio links in a beautiful location and also interviewing the top local and international performing talent".

Tonight's finale and organising it the past week was a logistical challenge for the show. The crew had to get all the performing stars together in one place - at one time - to shoot those inserts last week.

Lynelle Kenned's mom Christine was diagnosed with cancer when she was 16 and has lived to see her daughter achieve as an opera singer - both Christine and dad Ralph was there when Lynelle Kenned performed with Katherine Jenkins which viewers will see tonight.

Jonathan Boynton-Lee's mom, Bronwen Boynton-Lee was also flown down by the production to come and watch him perform with Paige Mac. It was her 72nd birthday. Chamendran Naidoo's mom and one of Zama Ngcobo's good friends also supported them.

The Top Billing presenter Simba Mhere will be on hand tonight to welcome the new Top Billing presenter to the fold.
