Here is the answer to the mystery of "what happened to Bernadete's song":

From Marc Shaiman's Facebook, courtesy of "Allthatchat":

"From Facebook: "Tonight on SMASH Scott & I travel Off-Broadway, writing a song for HIT LIST, which is sung gorgeously by Jeremy Jordan. It's a sad song. Also sad tonight is the fact that they only used about 10 seconds of the production number we wrote for Bernadette Peters. Here - with it's fabulous Jonathan Tunick orchestration - is the recording of the entire song which you can purchase on iTunes and film your own full length version of."

(A snippet, with Bernadette in the orange-y outfit on the Bombshell stage was shown in the May 4, 2013 episode of "The Phenomenon" on "Smash".)

The song is "At Your Feet" and it is also on the Smash soundtrack.

The season finale airs on May 26 [that's SUNDAY] -- 2 hours. Here is an image (#10) of Bernadette and Megan Hilty, I guess at the "Smash" Tony Awards?? Also see image #11.

Total trash. Designed to make the world as stupid as possible. What a travesty.

I loved that they used the actual video of Bernadette's acceptance speech for her Tony win for Annie Get Your Gun. And I loved her red gown. And I loved her aggressive but not mean advice to her daughter. I'll miss seeing Bernadette on television, even for a few fleeting moments.

And I'll miss the soap opera that was Smash: sometimes ridiculous, sometimes wonderful (the songs, the choreography). A good idea gone ... poof!

Well, Jean, I have to admit your description is actually extremely fair, measured, and well put.

I'm still not done with Smash.. here is a lengthy note from Marc Shaiman discussing the details of each of the songs he and Scott Witman wrote. There are links within with the songs.
