  • Peta Murgatroyd And James Maslow Dance Contemporary On DWTS

    For the most recent live show of Dancing With The Stars (Week 5), ABC’s hit dance/reality show, the star contestants were slated the task of dancing to a well-known song from a Disney movie with their professional dance partners. This gave the pairings of the show more room to be creative, and it was also the week when the star contestants returned to dance with their originally paired pro-dancing partners after last week’s “Switch-up” on the show.

    One of the highlights from last night’s Disney-themed Dancing With The Stars was the contemporary dance performed by Aussie-born Peta Murgatroyd and Big Time Rush actor James Maslow. Keeping within the show’s Disney theme, Murgatroyd and Maslow performed their beautiful contemporary dance to Frozen‘s well-known and academy award-winning hit “Let It Go” (performed by Idina Menzel).

    Prior to the Dancing With The Stars competition, James Maslow was asked (via video) to go to the prom from a special needs high school student named Hannah. Unfortunately, Maslow was unable to attend Hannah’s prom due to his commitment to Dancing With The Stars; however, as shown in the pre-dance footage, Maslow invites Hannah and her family to be members of the show’s audience for them to watch Murgatroyd’s and his performance in person.

    The judging panel praised Murgatroyd and Maslow’s performance to “Let It Go.” All four judges (including guest judge Donnie Osmond) gave rave reviews to the couple. During the judges’ commentary, Head Judge Len Goodman sentimentally stated “That would melt even the coldest heart, even mine.” When Murgatroyd and Maslow received their scores for the dance, the judging panel unanimously showed their 10 paddles, giving Murgatroyd and Maslow a perfect score of 40, which is the first perfect score of Dancing With The Stars season 18.

    Also during the judging of Murgatroyd and Maslow’s contemporary dance, guest judge Donnie Osmond commented on Maslow’s “mesmerizing athleticism” during the performance. Prior to the Monday night’s dance, Murgatroyd told People Magazine the following statement in regard to her partner’s stamina:

    “I’m super excited about this because of James’ physicality. He’s very strong. I have a lot of lifts in the routine. The songs we have are really emotional, really get to the characters and the meaning behind everything. I can’t wait.”

    Many users in the Twitterverse also praised Murgatroyd and Maslowy’s amazing and beautiful performance to Frozen‘s “Let It Go”:

    The viral ability of Frozen covers, and the actors singing songs from the film seems to be endless. Most recently, Kristen Bell was seen performing “Do You Want To Build A Snowman” for a live audience, and used all three of her character’s voices to do it.

    Kristen Bell was poised with an interesting task when playing the character of Anna, and some people may not realize this, but she voices her during her child, teen, and adult years. While “Let It Go” has become the anthem of the film, “Do You Want To Build A Snowman” was also a huge hit, and fans of the film will love Bell’s recent performance.

    Speaking on the character of Anna, Bell said “I feel like I’m so, so proud of Anna because of all those things and her ability to believe in people even when they stop believing in themselves is very apparent.”

    Being able to play a Disney princess also helped fulfill a lifelong dream of Kristen Bell’s, and she said that Anna was the type of heroine that she would have identified with when she was 5 to 10 years old, feeling lucky to be able to share the character with people all over the world.

    Frozen has an incredible run in the theaters, becoming the biggest Disney film of all time, and the hit animated film was just released on DVD and Blu-Ray recently. It is a film aimed at younger audiences, but people all over the world have fallen in love with it, and it has made over $1 billion at the box office.

    “Let It Go” has become a huge hit with kids singing it, and tons of people recording cover versions of it. There was also an special video that was created that showed Elsa singing the song in 25 different languages, which quickly became a viral hit.

    In addition to winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Film, Frozen has been wildly popular with its soundtrack, and was even on the Billboard Top 200 for a long time. The cast reunited once already for a live performance, and fans continue to want more.

  • John Travolta Butchers Idina Menzel’s Name During Intro [Video]

    In case anyone missed the horrible mistake that John Travolta made during last night’s Oscar ceremony, he completely butchered Idina Menzel’s name when introducing her.

    The singer was introduced on the show to sing her hit song “Let It Go,” and he introduced her with a name that was unrecognizable to anyone. He said something that resembled “Adele Dazeem,” and it is unclear whether he even realized he what he did, since he played it off as nothing was wrong, and did not take the time to correct himself.

    During his introduction to the Frozen actress, it was obvious that John Travolta was not prepared, and did not seem to be familiar with the singer. However, her song “Let It Go” was by far the most popular of the nominees in terms of being played outside of the films, and had even spent multiple weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.

    Her song has become a huge hit with fans of the film, and fans went wild when it was announced that she would be performing the song live during the 2014 Oscars telecast.

    Due to the popularity of the film and its song, “Let It Go” even became a viral hit that had Elsa singing the song in 25 different languages.

    Idina Menzel graced the stage with icicles all around her to belt out her hit song “Let It Go” that her character Elsa sings when bringing on an eternal winter for her kingdom in the film Frozen.

    She did not mention the mispronunciation of her name, and continued on with her performance. Luckily, as her Frozen character has taught young audiences, she was able to simply “let it go.”

    Along with the other nominees for best original song, she took the stage for an Oscars rehearsal on Friday night, playing her hit that ended up winning the big award last night. Frozen also took home the award for Best Animated Film, which was expected.

    Audiences will have to wonder why an actor such as John Travolta would have been chosen to introduce someone like Idina Menzel for her singing performance, and while appearing during a live worldwide telecast, he showed that he is capable of making a big blunder.

  • Idina Menzel And Other Oscar Song Nominees Prepare For Hollywood’s Biggest Night

    Coming into the Oscar ceremony with not only a favorite to win an Oscar, but one of the most popular songs around, Idina Menzel performed her hit song “Let It Go” for a rehearsal show last night.

    In addition to Idina Menzel, big Grammy winning stars such as Pharell and U2 were both on the stage last night, preparing for Hollywood’s biggest night, and rehearsing their Oscar-nominated songs.

    She performs the hit song “Let It Go” as the character Elsa in Frozen. In addition to Menzel, the film stars Kristen Bell as her sister, Princess Anna, as well as Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad.

    It was announced in early February that the Frozen star would be taking the stage at the Oscars, and fans immediately went crazy with excitement.

    In addition to “Let It Go” from Frozen, the other nominated songs are “Happy” from Despicable Me 2, “Ordinary Love” from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and “The Moon Song” from Her. The nominees are down to four due to the Academy removing “Alone Yet Not Alone” from the list of nominations.

    Menzel’s “Let It Go” has been elevated to a whole new level for songs from films, and unlike most of the previous nominations, it has become a singalong song that people all over have fallen in love with, and it was also turned into a viral hit with the help of a new version of the song that featured it being sung in 25 different languages.

    “Let It Go” is taken from the latest Disney film Frozen, which became an instant hit after being released around the holidays. The film has already received great praise, and in addition to its Oscar nominations for Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature, the film has already won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature. It is certainly the favorite to win both awards at the Oscars.

    Idina Menzel’s performance at the Oscars will be the first time that the song has been performed for a televised audience. The song has grown with such popularity that it could even be enough to get some people to watch the show, even if they are not interested in the rest of the awards.

    Tune in for the Oscars on Sunday, March 2nd at 8 p.m., and see Idina Menzel and the other nominees performing their songs live.
