Kristen Bell's Live Frozen Performance Is Completely Charming

Kristen Bell's Live Frozen Performance Is Completely Charming

 are we say it, but it may be time to let go of "Let It Go." Frozen's showstopping ballad, sung by Princess Elsa (a.k.a, Idina Menzel, a.k.a. Adele Dazeem) has generated hundreds of YouTube covers, acapella arrangements, and live performances, all sung by superfans and hysterical small children around the globe.

But, now the film's heroine, Princess Anna, voiced by the ever-charming Kristen Bell, has stepped in with her own live performance of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" Her character's sister sent a kingdom into an eternal winter, but this performance is covering us not with snow and ice, but with warm fuzzies.

The song is really a heart-wrencher. Little Anna sings it to a locked-bedroom door, where teenage Elsa has isolated herself in fear of hurting Anna with her powers. The song grows through time, ending with the adult sisters sitting back-to-back on opposite sides of the door after they've lost their parents.

Kristen illustrates this scene by singing each part of the song with a different tone as it moves forward in time. And, it is just delightful. She begins with a sweet, squeaky little voice and ends the song with the crystal-clear resonance that has had us under a spell since the movie's release last November.

Strangely enough, Disney does not seem to want us to build a snowman with Ms. Bell. The Walt Disney Music Company has removed the video from major sites due to copyright issues. So, while they seem fine with giving us access to version after version of "Let It Go," Kirsten Bell's performance has been deemed unfit for public consumption. We're optimistic that the performance will resurface in some form or another.

If your heart is frozen because you can't watch the K-Bell rendition, perhaps these three covers of "Let It Go" will help tide you over. Hit the next page to watch.

How I Met Your Mother' ends with one last twist

Editor's note: Spoiler alert! If you haven't seen the series finale of "How I Met Your Mother," read no further
(CNN) -- In the end, it was always Robin.
That was the big bombshell from Monday night's final episode of "How I Met Your Mother," which piled on one surprise after another.
When Ted finally finished the story for his kids, they called him on it: His story wasn't all about how he met their mother (she was barely in the story), it was about how much he loved Robin.
'HIMYM' leaves fans with a twist
As many had theorized, the mother of Ted's children (whose name was Tracy McConnell, by the way), had been dead for years by the time he told his story.
So, in the last of many flash-forwards in this finale, Ted went to the street in front of Robin's apartment and showed up with that blue French horn, the same one he stole for her in the first episode.
Robin, of course, had long ago divorced Barney -- the first big shocker of the night.
Barney, however, we would learn, became a father, and in one of several touching scenes from the episode, finally found the love of his life in baby Ellie.
Marshall and Lily, pregnant with their second child in the present day, went on to have a third, but Lily was heartbroken when Robin decided she couldn't be as much a part of their gang anymore, due in part to Barney continuing to be, well, Barney around her.
And what about the mother, aka Tracy? We finally did see that moment of the two meeting at that train station, and it was played perfectly by Josh Radnor and the Emmy-worthy Cristin Milioti.
They wouldn't get married for several years, having postponed their wedding when Tracy got pregnant with their first child.
Ted shared with his kids that he learned he had to love their mother with everything he had in him, through good times and bad, especially during her illness.
Needless to say, the show stayed true to form, as it had in all its nine years, wearing its heart on its sleeve. And if your eyes stayed dry through the entire episode, you're probably a stronger person than most viewers.
Of course, the big Robin twist didn't exactly sit well with everyone online (people such as Rocco Horvath @RoccoRacingAMA, who tweeted, "It took me so long to get over the fact Ted and Robin weren't going to end up together and now this?! Mixed Emotions"), and the finale seems to have split viewers more than any since "Lost."
