Video: Idina Menzel Celebrates Ten Years of 'Adele Dazeem' With Birthday Tribute

Idina Menzel is commemorating an iconic moment in her career, one that went on to be a viral internet moment and meme for ten years running.

It was ten years ago that actor John Travolta was introducing Menzel for a performance at the Oscars and mispronounced her name, calling her "Adele Dazeem" instead.

Menzel is having fun with the anniversary, taking to TikTok to wish a happy birthday to "Dazeem."

“Hey, Adele Dazeem, it’s Idina Menzel. I just want to say happy birthday,” she says in the fun video. “I’m sending you so much love and positive energy, I hope you have the best, best day.” She then sang happy birthday before signing off.
