"Something Good" is a bit problematic logistically. It's a strong dramatic stroke to have the love duet before the wedding instead of after, and of course this number is a lot better musically than "An Ordinary Couple," which to me always sounds like "Here Comes Santa Claus" in a minor key. The issue is that this version makes Maria's change into the wedding dress very fast indeed. In fact, when the plain white dress was first revealed on Underwood, I thought for a moment she was still in her slip and they hadn't put the dress on yet!
