While the rest of Menzel's performance of Frozen's "Let It Go" was pretty much perfect, the singer had a bit of trouble perfecting one high note while braving the bitter New York City cold.
The 43-year-old responded to the backlash cleverly, by posting a quote from a recent interview she did on Twitter.

"There are about 3 million notes in a two-and-a-half-hour musical," the quote reads. "Being a perfectionist, it took me a long time to realize that if I'm hitting 75 percent of them, I'm succeeding. Performing isn't only about the acrobatics and the high notes: It's staying in the moment, connecting with the audience in an authentic way, and making yourself real to them through the music. I am more than the notes I hit, and that's how I try to approach my life. You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them."
