[@mexiwolf009]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JennieKerfuffle]

Holy shit it's the queen of freaking Genovia! How did they get her on the show??

[@UTU49]

And she's sitting next to the Queen of Arendelle!

[@irisfreddiemercuryrocknrol9643]

Jennie Kerfuffle YESSS

[@hana-um6do]

lol it's lucy's cable show

[@fckyoudidntask642]

[@linnycrocus6023]

You are so young and cute. It's Maria Von Trapp.

[@user-hs9hg3pe6i]

The queen of gernovia and the queen of arendelle

[@lexluthor6968]

Underrated comment of the decade!

[@jmash97]

Don't forget Queen of Far Far Away

[@fckyoudidntask642]

That's so true omg

[@elsie1327]

And Mary poppins 😂

[@bradley583]

I love how Julie Andrews decides to end the topic... (bluntly) "there you go."

[@AllenMQuinn]

+Brad M Lmfao I caught that. Excellent.

[@decentgrocerybag4003]

She’s the queen and the queen has no time for your shit

[@sfyc]

She’s like “moving on.”

[@kraighansen]

I loved it. She’s making sure it ends on a positive note

[@AllenMQuinn]

Adele Dazeem NEVER fails to crack me up.

[@Willpower-74205]

I'm fairly convinced that somewhere out in this great big world, there really is an Adele Dazeem that received the shock of a lifetime while she was watching TV. As if having the same first name as an A-list British singer wasn't confusing enough....

[@UTU49]

I'd never heard of Adele Dazeem before, but she sung Let It Go about as well as Idina Menzel. ; P

[@amazinggraciegurl]

😂😂😂

[@fckyoudidntask642]

True that 😂

[@jmsta.romana4660]

Just ask John Travolta, in 2014, Idina Menzel was gonna sing Let It Go and Travolta was about to introduce her but came out saying "Adele Dazeem" because the word generator was 'Ah Deen Ah Menzel" then he got confused, John Travolta already knew Idina Menzel's name before though.

[@tangled55]

Wow, Julie Andrews look great.

[@Bluemgwes]

tangled55 Always and forever.

[@mayamagination]

+tangled55 OMG SHES 80 WTAF

[@isabelerhart9523]

She does for her age

[@jenelleees]

I love how Julie Andrews chuckled right away. She was like oh yeah girl, I know what that's about.

[@efeso511]

yeah it’s that bad, eh? lol 😅

[@princepeterwolf]

excuse me while I die...two of my favorite people together in the same room omg...;__;

[@wwhl]

Legends! The struggle is real, princepeterwolf!

[@adeledazeem2471]

princepeterwolf Thanks I love you too

[@Yingiling]

"excuse me while I die" That's funny

[@bradleyelsken1886]

+princepeterwolf It's ladies like them who make me happy to be gay

[@princepeterwolf]

SAME

[@ladygodiva2187]

Ummm I feel like Idina Menzel and Julie Andrews deserve the legend treatment! What's up with that Andy!?

[@wwhl]

Thanks for the recommendation, ladygodiva2187! Just added it to the Legends of the Clubhouse playlist!

[@Bluemgwes]

I just...I just could never bring myself to swear in front of Julie Andrews. Despite hearing the surprising fact that Julie swears like a sailor.

[@Sotryn_Fox]

Right? It's like swearing in front of royalty lol

[@XxBladeZ123]

Idina: Get my-- I can curse right? "Sure." Idina: Get my SHIT together.

[@PaulLBerriman]

Lol at the end, Julie Andrews sounds so pissed off "so there you go"

[@gtimes03]

I didn't get that impression, personally, But I do see how others, can interpret it that way.

[@ellessandraramsay1841]

"So there you go. Now let's get back to me."

[@DistantCousin]

@@ellessandraramsay1841 Nah, it's just a tone that we British speak in. It's the whole Americans don't really understanding our nuances cos, bless you, you are all too literal in your interpretation of communication! (and I say that with love). All Julie is doing by saying it that way is giving Idina a strong affirmation of what she just said.

[@slimlouis6441]

Not at all. It just means “so look how it turned out” or “good for you” etc.... Julie Andrews is far too much of a class act to behave in such a way in public.

[@ariannacavagnoli5405]

OMG Julie and Idina next to each other *-*

[@fckyoudidntask642]

You: *Julie and Idina next to each other.* Me: *Mary Poppins and Elsa next to each other.*

[@NairAthul]

Elphaba and Mary Poppins meet to discuss flying

[@verityjude2269]

Athul Nair YES

[@filip8099]

"There you go" like "I know, I know girl let's proceed" 😂😂😂😂

[@FacheChanteDeux]

John Travolta made a genuine mistake, he was just as mortified as Idina. I have met him and I can wholeheartedly say that he is such a lovely class act irl. Meanwhile we now know that poor John was preoccupied with his tragically sick wife. Never judge people unless you have walked a mile in their shoes.

[@7mandoblu]

I'm madly in love with Adele Dazeem oops I meant Idina Menzel HAHA but I can't believe she cursed in front of Julie Andrews. That's like curising in front of the Queen. But Julie looks like a very down to earth lady and I would be shocked if I heard her curse.

[@parkgardenlane4520]

Nah. IDINA is the queen :) ;)

[@7mandoblu]

That's right she is a Queen actually, the Snow Queen Elsa. I forgot about that HAHA!

[@roguishpaladin]

Mary Poppins gives you one swearing mulligan if your name is butchered by John Travolta. It was a very weird rule that no one thought would ever get used.

[@abrahamlopz0177]

I think a queen could curse in front of another queen without any problem :)

[@jarednil69]

Frozen 2 has reignited Adelle Dazeem!

[@fckyoudidntask642]

Lmao yeah

[@StarVideoProductions]

1:13 “It’s a great story and will be for years to come” it’s a great story and will be for years to come” Classy close. 👍🏼😊👏🏼

[@telengardforever7783]

it's 2021, and we are still talking about Adele Dazeem. In fact, that's the name of any female AD&D character I create in my games. Adele Dazeem actually has a good medieval, Dungeons and Dragons feel to it -- especially for a wizard or witch.

[@UnforgivenElder]

2024 and still talking about it because it gives a good chuckle it’s a nice cultural giggle now

[@CameronAhlsenGirard]

question I missed the episode, where can i watch the whole thing?

[@VellaiRoja]

I like how Idina handled it....

[@puffpafu4963]

Could you upload other Idina's videos? I can't watch them on website. :"(

[@jacobkemezys3453]

The queen of Genovia / Mary Poppins with the snow queen of Arendelle on the same night. Freakin sweet af!

[@JoshLeRose]

The legend herself Âdél Dàžím

[@MBJD09]

That was a priceless moment I still laugh about it

[@dariamorgendorffer1573]

All three of them are adorable!

[@ShantalMachado]

[@fckyoudidntask642]

Yes haha. *No I mean literally this the Queen of Genovia and the Queen of Arendelle next to each other.*

[@RentFreeClips1]

[@curtwall7089]

[@Lionloverky]

I absolutely love Julie Andrews, but she is not always as classy as we think, there is a video of her with Carol Burnet called typical English tea it is extremely funny also you might want to watch the outtakes for the Julie Andrews show she definitely does some things that are not classy

[@curtwall7089]

So thats ok shows shes only human but is classy still

[@Lionloverky]

[@nahumrodrigues9239]

[@owenchuarbx]

[@amor2827]

[@bandersnatch6546]

[@victoriahenry9765]

julie andrews ✨

[@curliefro]

Yay Julie Andrews. Idina is a good sport. I would have cussed Travolta out humiliating me like that..

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

*FIYEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

[@dannilevil]

Julie Andrews is so graceful

[@garrybaldy327]

I'd never heard of Idina Menzel before Adele Dazeem came along. And over five years later, I still haven't heard of Idina Menzel. Seriously, who is she?

[@jacquelinemartone148]

From now on let's call John travolta John Travallta.(Say Travallta with an Italian accent)

[@mmsts_]

Ok I just watch Julie Andrews in this interview! I love her.. she's pure class and elegance!! ..

[@kerstingast9560]

Everyone ist talking about Queen of Genovia... are you all too young to know, that wind must be from east so they could have Mary Poppins there?

[@laurasanchez4009]

Why dose some one do that

[@Joseph870619]

Glom Gazingo

[@zzzcocopepe]

If I was her I would have loved that shit! That is so funny! I would be doing all kinds of stuff with Adele, just milking that joke. I don't even hate John Travolta. As shit, I'd get him in on it too

[@adrianreyes1261]

Idina and Julie? I wish that next time Chenoweth is with them

[@teeniebeenie8774]

BODY LANGUAGE: THE ONE ON THE LEFT: JULIA

[@CarlosCruz-ll5ez]

John Travolta put Adele Dazeem on the map!

[@hawaiidispenser]

Hate when people don't let the other person finish talking before chiming in. I realize a certain amount of this is going to happen on any tv interview, but here I found it more annoying than usual.

[@decentgrocerybag4003]

HOLY FUCK ITS MARIA VON TRAPP

[@clintfowler1526]

I’ve never seen someone hype someone else up so much to only whiff their name that much

[@amitnagpal1985]

Queen should know better. DO NOT INTERRUPT.

[@bellafichter9137]

adele dazeem

[@damunaik4]

I don't get ehy Julie Andrews cut the topic off

[@bigboss4178]

she noticed that Adele Dazeem felt uncomfortable with the topic

[@Super165i]

so idina didnt make a huge deal about it?

[@lukejack9551]

Sorry Idina but...JULIE ANDREWS!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@erinventicinque1322]

HHAAHHA

[@lorenam.5196]

I don't get it... so who's Adele Dazeem?? is no one?? is someone??

[@morkofork]

She sang on Darude - Sandstorm.

[@vampirica89]

Mork of Ork Also with DJ Paige Railstone! (any long time nerdfighters would know)

[@IIIIKaiserIIII]

Why is mispronouncing a name such a big deal? I didn't even know her before those Oscars.

[@MeeplandHeights]

Well it's quite a bit more than a simple mispronunciation :P Also she is quite famous in the theatre/broadway world. She's won a Tony award for playing Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) in Wicked, a role she originated in and was nominated for If/Then at the Tony's in 2014. She also originated Maureen in Rent and played the role in the movie version as well.

[@IIIIKaiserIIII]

And she still wasn't that well known. It isn't weird for John Travolta not knowing who she was. Mispronouncing a name isn't that of a big deal. My name got fucked up all the time by new teachers for example.

[@MeeplandHeights]

IIKaiserII I get that all the time too but her name isn't all that complicated. Plus there is the dress rehearsal and like I said before, this isn't just a simple mispronunciation seeing as "Adele" and "Idina" are two very different names. Same with "Menzel" and "Dazeem". I'd understand if he messed up the way the vowels are pronounced but he completely changed the words.

[@Nani-wg1ww]

to fuck up a name this bad among tons of people right before showing up on stage is angering. I would be like..."omg wtf is wrong with this dude?"

[@DolliDaily]

Mominaodiji THANK you

[@vonmorris5948]

Travolta must've been on the finest of drugs that night lol

[@vonmorris5948]

Lmfao! So true. You have to stay highly medicated to believe that shit.

[@MultigrainMuffins]

He's dyslexic

[@vonmorris5948]

Yes!!! Lol

[@tonyrocket2103]

They act like it's this huge deal, he made a simple mistake on a very uncommon name, could happen to anyone.

[@misspriss2482]

Right? I never understood why this was a thing. OK, so he mispronounced her name; next.

[@konflictification]

So Travolta made her famous right? imagine that was the plan.

[@RisaGreen]

She was famous long before frozen she became famous through rent wicked enchanted and glee

[@OneVoiceMore]

If you'd never heard of her, you live under a rock. She's Taye Diggs' wife, a star of Broadway and Hollywood for "Rent", "Wicked", "Enchanted", and a load of other stuff.

[@konflictification]

Or. Maybe just maybe. I dont have the time nor the intentions to watch broadway musicals and do my research on this taye person your talking about cuz im 18 years old and am not into that stuff.

[@honeybee1159]

Nobody cares.

[@jayrockhammer]

Thank you Julie for shutting her up. I don’t get how Adina is still butthurt by that. It was hilarious. She’s so annoying

[@alanguages]

Idina wasn't still butthurt about it, like you implied. In fact Idina stated, that actually helped her career. John Travolta on the other hand made him look like a tool.
