Singer-actress Idina Menzel expressed her thoughts about criticisms on how she sang the phenomenal Disney's "Frozen" soundtrack "Let It Go" during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2015 with Ryan Seacrest.
According to JustJared.com, the voice behind Arendelle's Queen Elsa spoke out via a photo she posted on Twitter showing a quote she said in an interview a while back.
On the first day of 2015, Twitter was flooded with posts from "Frozen" fans and critics alike who expressed their disappointment about Menzel's alleged "botched" high note during the New Year's eve celebration.
Many took to Twitter their distress over the Broadway singer's performance, with some resorting to pretending that it was her alter ego performing during the event.
"They booked Idina Menzel, but got Adele Dazeem," @NormalSerious Tweeted which was echoed by @Kristen_Hooper in her Twitter account: "That wasn't @idinamenzel singing. That was her evil twin Adele Dazeem. #NewYearsRockinEve"
Several others rode the Adele Dazeem train with @bobick Tweeting that she kidnapped the "Frozen" voice actress and replaced her during the performance, and added #awful in his post.
@EPCOTExplorer described her performance as "scream-singing" adding that those who were not able to watch the performance did not miss anything spectacular while @hannahramlo noted how an unknown a Capella group sang the song way better than she did on that evening.
However, some were less harsh on their comments and even noted how the freezing temperature in the New York Times Square could have affected her singing voice.
"Idina sounded phenomenal up until that last high note, but FFS, it's 20 degrees out and she's singing live. Kudos, Adele Dazeem!"@heldincontempt Tweeted.
"There are about 3 million notes in a two-and-a-half-hour musical; being a perfectionist, it took me a long time to realize that if I'm hitting 75 percent of them, I'm succeeding," she explained adding that performances should not only be about "the acrobatics and the high notes."
Instead, it should be connecting with the audience and staying in that genuine moment where a performer can express their true self through music, she said.
"I am more than the notes I hit, and that's how I try to approach my life. You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them," she added, further brushing off the harsh comments she received after her freezing performance.
