Idina Menzel Will Sing ‘Let it Go’ at The Oscars
(JTA) — Change of plans for all parents hoping to get your kids to bed early on Oscar night: According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Frozen” star Idina Menzel will perform “Let It Go” at the ceremony Sunday, March 2.
“Let It Go” is nominated for best original song, up against “Ordinary Love” from “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” “The Moon Song” from “Her” and “Happy” from “Despicable Me 2.” Pharrell Williams will take the stage to perform that last one, which means your evening just got even longer.
In the meantime, watch this clip of the Oscar-nominated song being sung in 25 languages. Hey, where’s the Hebrew version?
