Idina Menzel, 50, responded to a Ukrainian girl who sang a rendition of ‘Let It Go’ while hiding in a bomb shelter in Kyiv.
The songstress, who was the voice of Princess Elsa in the Disney movie Frozen, shared the viral clip on Twitter and commended the young girl for the touching version of the popular soundtrack.
“We see you. We really, really see you,” Idina wrote, adding blue and yellow heart emojis.
Little Amelia’s video went viral as Ukrainian troops continue to defend their country against Russian forces.
It was shared on Facebook by Marta Smekhova, who said she filmed it with permission from Amelia’s mother.
“From the first word in the (bomb shelter) came complete silence… everyone put their business aside and listen(ed) to a song by this girl who was just beaming light… even men couldn’t hold back the tears,” she wrote.
The video has been shared 99,000 times on Facebook and has been reshared on other social media platforms, with each post gaining tens of thousands of views.
In the video, people are seen lying on the floor while others sat or stood around Amelia as she belted out a rendition of Let It Go.
When she finished, people in the shelter clapped their hands and cheered.
“Bravo! Bravo!” one voice said.
“Seeing in one of the Kyiv bomb storage, how children draw bright pictures in half-darkness, I, of course, couldn’t silently pass by… stopped, praised, offered to do a little exhibition to somehow decorate this not so happy place,” Smekhova wrote.
“She told me that besides drawing, she loves to sing… and whispered that she wants to sing on a big stage in front of the audience…”
