At the 2nd private party, during the break, Rachel told us that she saw that Undone was on the set list. I was hoping that Haley would do it, since I wasn't able to record the first time I'd heard her sing it live.
When they came back from the break, Haley told us that she got a request to sing "Night and Day", which wasn't on the set list. We eventually noticed that Undone was skipped over, possibly for "Night and Day"... so when it came to the final songs, people from the crowd started yelling out "Undone" ('people' as in, not only the Haliens who were there)... even then, Haley hemmed and hawed, looked over to Keith who nodded back to her, asked if it was OK? I think it was Harry that finally said they would do it....
(I believe the hosts helped put together the set list, they asked them to do "Can't Find My Way Home", so "Undone" might have been on the set list, per their request)
Water and oil aside, I've always felt it was a beautiful song that went to a place where we all have been. People enjoy music for the emotions and memories it evokes and the places; past, present, and future, it can take us. I get that the artist in her doesn't like to go to the place it takes her. However, from a business point, I think it could have been a hit. It touches, very well, that sad place we all go to now and then.
