Broadway star and the voice of Wicked and Frozen’s Idina Menzel still relish that unforgettable 2014 moment at the Oscars when John Travolta mispronounced her name as “Adele Dazeem”. Now, the mistake finds a place in pop culture folklore while it happened as Travolta was introducing Menzel for performing Let It Go she sang as an Oscar winner from Frozen.

Travolta famously described her as “the wickedly talented, one and only Adele Dazeem,” a slip that quickly trended on social media. From memes to a name-generator poking fun at Travolta’s mistake, the incident became an internet sensation. Speaking to E! News shortly after, Travolta joked about the mishap, saying, “I’ve been beating myself up all day. Then I thought, ‘What would Idina say? She’d say, Let it go!'”

Menzel has taken the moment in stride, turning it into a positive. Reflecting on the incident, she said, “Initially, I thought, ‘I’ve finally made it to the Oscars, and this guy messes up my name.’ But it became one of the best things to happen to my career. People who didn’t know me started asking, ‘Who is this Adele Dazeem?'”

Menzi, over the years, has taken on the moniker humorously. In 2015, she introduced Travolta in an awards show with the name “Glom Gazingo” with much amusement. This year, she replayed the scene in a TikTok video wishing her alter ego, Adele Dazeem, a birthday.
