Idina Menzel buried under John Travolta’s apology | Stars

entertainment">Menzel performed during the award ceremony with Let it Go from the musical Frozen, the song that would win the Oscar for best song that night. Travolta announced her as ‘Adele Dazeem’. He later stated that it was because her name was spelled phonetically on the autocue and also admitted that he was very impressed by Goldie Hawn, whom he met backstage just before.

entertainment">In a clip released on Thursday from Carpool Karaoke says the singer that Travolta then sent her flowers and several emails to apologize. “Those emails were so nice, he is very sweet and really wanted to make up for it. But I always told him it wasn’t necessary because it was the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Meryl Streep

entertainment">Travolta’s blunder received so much attention that Menzel was immediately put in the spotlight. However, the singer must confess that she initially had to swallow when she heard Travolta muddle her name. “I felt a lot of self-pity. I thought: Meryl Streep is sitting there in the room. This should be my big moment and he just screwed up my name. But eight seconds later when the band started playing, I just thought, ‘Repack, this is your moment. Don’t worry about this and sing, bitch.”

entertainment">The singer has already been able to take revenge on Travolta. During the Oscar ceremony a year after the blunder, the two presented the award for best song together and she announced him as ‘Glom Gazingo’.
