Idina Menzel won’t be singing “Let it Go”? Darn.
Well—she does have a new musical “If/Then” opening on Broadway soon.

I’d rather hear Indina sing the song from Frozen, and my crush Pharrell sing Happy.

Bet the Missouri football player who came out will get big play at the Oscars. Probably be asked to award top movie of the year.
