While introducing the performance of " Let It Go " from '' Frozen '' , actor John Travolta accidentally mispronounced singer Idina Menzel 's name as " Adele Dazeem " . As a result , Travolta became the subject of mockery and ridicule in the media . According to a source for E! , Menzel revealed that she was not upset about the mishap . Afterwards , Menzel reportedly printed up satirical playbills that promoted her name as Adele Dazeem , noting her past work in '' Nert '' ( '' Rent '' ) , '' Wicked-ly '' ( '' Wicked '' ) and '' Farfignugen '' ( '' Frozen '' ) . Three days after the ceremony , Travolta publicly apologized to Menzel for mispronouncing her name . The following year , Menzel and Travolta appeared onstage together as award presenters , with the former introducing the latter as " Glom Gazingo "
