Last year, John Travolta took the Oscar stage to introduce Idina Menzel so she could perform “Let It Go” from Frozen. What should have been a very simple, teleprompter-aided introduction quickly became a Big Deal when Travolta stumbled over his words. Instead of “Idina Menzel,” Travolta said “Adele Dazeem.” An internet meme was born and everyone added another great John Travolta joke to their repertoire. The 2015 Oscars decided to revisit that memorable flub and the results were weird, awkward, and yeah, pretty funny.
Welcome to First Play on The Point! Every weeknight at 6:20 p.m. you're going to hear a brand new song that we haven't played before. We like to throw in a little bit of 'tomorrow's best music' to go along with 'today's best.'
Broadway star Idina Menzel's Oscar night performance of what would become the Best Song winner, "Let It Go" from Disney's smash hit 'Frozen,' might have been just a touch overshadowed by John Travolta's now-classic mangling of the songstress' name, but Jimmy Fallon gave her another chance to shine on 'The Tonight Show' Monday night.
John Travolta may have butchered her name, but Idina Menzel won't let anyone forget it after nailing her performance of 'Let It Go,' the song that we (and everyone else) can't stop singing from 'Frozen.'
