PJ is right. Only a homo would know who I'Needa Mattel is.
Did Idina get sick and couldn't make it? That's a shame because Adele was great. Idina has some competition now.
Bitch better watch her back from now on!!

F*ck her. I wanna meet "The Amazing Joey Luft." I never knew Judy spawned a magician. Let it go, Adele. Your shaky high notes didn't impress me.

If he wanted to prove he wasn't gay, he shouldn't have started his speech by talking about how much he loves musicals.
"I'm John Travolta, and to prove I'm a mature, heterosexual man, I'm going to piss off every tween and gay man in America."

In case you wanna watch it on a loop. Because, well, who wouldn't?

Well, she definitely is the one and only Adele Dazeem.
"If he wanted to prove he wasn't gay, he shouldn't have started his speech by talking about how much he loves musicals."
What he meant to say was, "There will always be a special place in my heart for BATHHOUSES", but the teleprompter read "movie musicals" and he got all discombobulated.
I watched-I listened-I thought-Who?-She looks like/screeches like-it IS her[the set was great].

That crack on the high note. Oof.
I wanna know what her inner monologue was at that point. Either way, she knocked it out. That last note was a scratchy but the rest was strong. She was visibly nervous.
Poor Adele Dazeem.
She got so upset, she rushed her tempos, swallowed her microphone, shook like a leaf, and cracked on the high note.
Poor Adele.
Seriously, for a moment I thought he was having a stroke.
All jokes aside, a lot of people don't realize that Travolta is actually dyslexic. You can tell throught his entire introduction of her that he's taking it quite slow and cautiously. After dyslexic people are exposed to written words repeatedly in/out of treatment, I believe that, neurologically, most words become easy to "unscramble." That explains Travolta's relative ease with most of the text on the prompter.
When you think about it, "Idina Menzel" is a fairly exotic combination of letters, and probably quite difficult for a dyslexic individual to read on the fly. Say what you will about the massuese allegations (still not substantiated), but the poor guy has had a really tough few years. It doesn't matter how famous someone is, a parent losing their child is a horrible, almost unimaginable thing. I'm completely guilty of this myself, but we could all, as a society, think a bit more before we collectively pounce on someone for a goof.

If he's dyslexic, shouldn't the producers have told him the name of who he was presenting?
I'm sure he did have the name ahead of time. I would expect he would demand that. Likely why he was asked to present a performer and not a competitive category (with multiple names and an unknown winner)
That being said, I'm sure he is mortified by his slip up.
On the red carpet they showed someone having a full list of the names ahead of time of the people that he was presenting (completely forgot) so I honestly feel like there is NO excuse to butcher her name THAT poorly. I just wish she didn't scream the last half of the song.
Literally so upset about that :/
Like I wouldn't have cared if he called her Indiana Melendez because at least it's somewhat close, but I really need to know how you get Adel Duhzi or whatever he called her from IDINA MENZEL. And then she seemed so nervous and shaken. Ugh, her moment was ruined
She'll make up for it at the Tony's.
I never knew Adele's last name. She's lost a lot of weight since the Grammys.
"If he wanted to prove he wasn't gay, he shouldn't have started his speech by talking about how much he loves musicals."
Actually he said he'd always have a soft spot for the movie musical, or something like that. Since musicals don't make him hard, I think we have to give him a pass at the gay thing. Besides. We don't want him on our side.
Wasn't she in that show with Christ Criscowith?
I am not making fun of his Dyslexia.
I am certainly making fun of his public claims that Scientology has forever cured his Dyslexia.
Now I can't stop laughing and replaying it but wooooow I just want to hug Miss Dazeem... so much for her special Oscars moment.
