Idina Menzel: John Travolta Oscar mistake was &#;greatest thing that ever happened&#;
Idina Menzel just can&#;t let Adele Dazeem go.
The singer, 50, brought up the infamous moment when John Travolta messed up her name at the Oscars once again while discussing her new film, &#;Cinderella.&#;
Travolta, 67, butchered the &#;Frozen&#; star&#;s name on stage when he introduced her as &#;Adele Dazeem&#; to the audience.
The very memorable incident has stayed with her ever since, and the Long Island native admitted that her evening was complete in the &#;eight seconds after he screwed up my name.&#;
&#;First, I felt really sorry for myself, like Meryl Streep&#;s out there, this is my big break and he just f&#;ked up my name,&#; she told James Corden on &#;The Late Late Show&#; segment &#;Carpool Karaoke.&#;

John Travolta Finally Explains Infamous Idina Menzel/Adele Dazeem Gaffe

The Academy Awards on Sunday gave John Travolta the chance to finally exorcise his demons from the Oscars, when he infamously mispronounced Idina Menzel’s name as “Adele Dazeem.”

And it really is quite the farce. Check out the video below for the story – which involves someone stuck in an elevator, a backstage run-in with Goldie Hawn and a phonetic spelling of Menzel’s name, which Travolta wasn’t expecting.
Not that Menzel, 43, has any hard feelings. She amusingly introduced Travolta, 61, as “Glom Gazingo” on Sunday, and he says she’s long since forgiven him for last year.
“The beautiful news, and Idina actually agrees, is that she’s had one of the best years of her life, and her career. And she gives me credit!” he says.
