title: Idina Menzel Defends Her 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' Performance
text: Idina Menzel's performance on ABC's "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest" provided one of the most talked-about moments of the show, but not for the reason she'd like.
The Broadway star, 43, was performing "Let It Go," her big number from the movie "Frozen," but critics bashed the way she hit a high note at the end of the song.
Menzel responded on New Year's Day by tweeting an image of an interview she gave last year, in which she gave her definition of success.
"There are about 3 million notes in a two-and-a-half-hour musical," she said in the piece. "Being a perfectionist, it took me a long time to realize that if I'm hitting 75 percent of them, I'm succeeding."

The Argentinean soccer star featured on a Japanese game show recently, where he was asked to kick a ball over a bar hanging nearly 60 feet and then continue juggling it with his feet to prevent it from touching the ground.
Spoiler alert: it took him only a few touches to get the ball under control after lobbing it over the bar.
