‘LET IT GO’ FROM ‘FROZEN’ BACK ON TOP OF THE CHARTS, THANKS TO MANNY PACQUIAO

Well, it’s baaaack! Thanks to world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao who is also a Philippine congressman and a karaoke addict, has recorded the hit song in Los Angeles. It will be released in a few weeks as a single and producers are predicting it to go platinum.

Although Pacquiao’s cover of the song hasn’t yet been released, the original recording by Idina Menzel, a.k.a. Adele Dazeem, has already climbed back to number one in the music charts.  Critics are saying that once the Pacquiao version is out, it would easily replace the Menzel original in  the top spot.

The producers of the Pacquiao single have come up with a brilliant promo campaign featuring Drake, the popular Canadian recording artist, rapper, songwriter, and actor.  In the promo video, Drake mimics Pacquiao recording the song

“We want to have a surprise element, so we decided that the promo video would not show Pacquiao himself,” the producers said. “We want fans to build up expectation and excitement for the real thing,” they added.

Here is the promo video:

THE REAL ADELE DAZEEM EXPOSED, TURNS OUT TO BE FILIPINA

elsa-frozen-cartoon-mobile-wallpaper-1080x1920-3514-4289924720Hollywood, California – John Travolta didn’t make a goof after all on Oscar night.  Everybody knows by now how Travolta introduced actress/singer Idina Menzel as ‘Adele Dazeem’ when she sang ‘Let It Go,’ the nominated song from the Disney animated film, ‘Frozen.’

It turns out that prior to Oscar night, Travolta was rehearsing his lines for his introduction of Menzel.  Being the professional that he is, Travolta wanted to listen to the nominated song so that he could come up with a better introduction.  So he went on YouTube and typed in ‘Let It Go.’ A video came up of a Filipina housewife singing the song.  Her name was Adele Dazeem.

Travolta was so mesmerized by the song and the Filipina singer that up till Oscar night, the name Adele Dazeem was stuck in his head. In all fairness, Travolta came up with a great introduction, saying “the wickedly talented…”

The Oscar-winning song’s co-composer, Robert Lopez, is Filipino American.

This is the video that Travolta viewed on YouTube.

EDITED SCENE FROM DISNEY’S ‘FROZEN’ SURFACES

imageHollywood, California (EXCLUSIVE to The Adobo Chronicles) – In the Disney animated film, ‘Frozen,’ Queen Elsa is seen singing the Oscar Award-winning song ‘Let It Go’ atop a mountain as she builds her ice castle in which she was to live her life in isolation.

Most moviegoers believe she was singing the song to herself with an admonition to let go of everything she had, including her beloved sister Anna and her entire kingdom.

But that was not in the original script.

The Adobo Chronicles has just obtained a copy of the deleted scene which had the original segment of ‘Let It Go.” It appears that the film director opted to re-shoot the segment to what is now included in the film’s final cut.

In the deleted scene, Queen Elsa  encountered a wood frog, freezing almost to death and clinging to a tree branch.  The frog was so afraid about falling into the snow-covered ground. Apparently, Queen Elsa was singing the song not to herself but to the wood frog, telling it to let go and that it would be just fine if it did fall to the ground.

The original script’s message about the deleted scene was: people (and frogs) need to let go of their fears and not to be scared about venturing into unchartered territory.

Disney refused to comment on why it decided to edit out and replace the deleted scene.  It simply responded to our reporter with, “Let It Go!”
