She gets to sing it because the 4 best musical noms are complete unknowns to the rest of America and CBS flat out told them to find a way to get Little Mermaid and Young Frankenstein on the show for ratings.

BrianS, amen to that. America needs known names; advertisers want known names. Not to say that the other four are "no names," but c'mon, if you're not well-versed on the theatre world, then that's that.
I hope sometime soon, televiewers can see "If Only," which I really like from Mermaid.
Good for Sierra. She deserves to perform. I love her in this show. Can't wait to see what she does next.
And you think of all of the things you've seen, and you wish that you could live in between ,and you're back again only different than before...
