I'm just gonna say it...

Frozen was great. The song Let It Go is awesome. Idina Menzel was amazing singing it.

Idina was so awful last night at the Oscars. We tried to listen to it...cause she's sooooooo good live on stage right? Yeah, no. I stand by my original sentiment. Blech.

That's because it wasn't Idina singing. It was Adele Dazeem. ;-)

I never heard the name being mangled. Who was it that intro'd her?

John Travolta. It's been all over Facebook and the radio this morning.

 

[htmom]

I just watched it on you tube. Maybe it is the scientologist way to pronounce her name! Lol

Don't they rehearse these things?

I watched the show, but we ff through the "fat" and missed the intro.

 

[JanaDee]

Yeah, she was less than impressive last night.

I tried to listen, but ended up using the good ole mute. I know a couple of people who really love her voice, but when I hear her it's sorta nails on a chalkboard to me.

 

[Mokat76]

I thought she sounded great. The audience seemed to enjoy her performance.

I love her, but wasn't impressed last night either. But it all seemed like she was such an afterthought. Pink and Bette sang beautiful long versions of their songs. (Although I thought Pink was entirely the wrong choice, and listening to her take 4 breaths in every phrase drove me crazy!)

Anyway, Idina was standing there and probably heard them introduce someone else to sing her song. Then they played it so fast she could hardly keep up, and the middle was cut out. I assume this was how they rehearsed it, but it seems she was given less time and consideration then the other performers.

I have seen her live and she was amazing. But the stars certainly didn't align for her last night. To her credit, I think she is the only one online not bashing John Travolta.

Did anyone hear the Jimmy Fallon/Idina Menzel version of Let it Go? It might change your opinion of her.

the Fallon thing sounded so bad I couldn't listen to the whole thing.

The orchestration used in the movie, plus the animation make a world of difference.

I clicked on the link. I wish I hadn't.

The whole time I was watching Frozen (before I knew who sang) I kept getting "Rent" flashbacks...then it dawned on me why!

My nails on the chalkboard artist is Taylor Swift. Good grief talk about someone I don't get at all...her voice makes my skin crawl. But to each their own!

I loved this so much. It was so cute and I loved the Casio.
