I actually thought Carrie Underwood was better in "The Lonely Goatherd" than she's been in the other songs so far. But that one is far less dependent on hitting all the notes exactly than Do-Re-Mi is.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
They probably rehearsed the bejeesus out of it.
Oh, I'd forgotten about this song. Laura Bernandi is making Carrie Underwood look really bad in comparison.
"There was one lady, the most beautiful one. I think she was here all the time." "Yes, Louisa." That was a ridiculously stupid line that I'm very glad was not in the movie.
I'm going to have to find a way to watch the movie now. I love the dance scene in the movie. So much simmering tension.
Oh, god, the tiniest child cannot sing.

Which is odd. I just looked her up, and she's done a bunch of shows with Random Farms Kids Theater in Westchester, and the kids in those productions are usually really good.
Maybe she just had trouble hearing. It's a shame, because it's such a big moment.
I like the girl playing Brigitta. The script doesn't really give the girl playing Marta much to work with -- even in the scene where Maria is listing things about all the kids, she says "And I don't know about Marta yet, but someone has to find out about her." Also, Gretl was hitting her notes much better in this last scene, so I figure it probably was some kind of sound issue in "So Long, Farewell."
I think I'm turning it off now, before I can be sad that "Something Good" isn't in it. That's one of my favorite scenes.
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in that wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
