"Reflection" - Cover by Darren Criss

[heyyouyeahyoulookit]

"i will never pass for a perfect bride"

oh darren, you could be my bride any day

[96danger]

At what part does the string pop? Is it in the beginning? Because I feel like I saw something but I'm not sure

[TheAltostratus]

@96danger Around 0:44

[annadevittalexcarr]

I wanna know why he suddenly felt the urge to make these 3 videos on nov 17th all those years ago... they're so brilliant!

[lucywa13]

I love it how he doesn't change the songs that he sings to make them gender-appropriate. :3

[oOLacieOo]

I got goosebumps. Really. Darren YOU rock!

[RjemmaB]

<3 darren, you are AMAZING!!!

[RockGirlz123]

lmao every comment i put on here got removed .. and they weren't even bad :$

[CUTLAZZBOI]

I saw that

[lileema8]

It should be illegal to dislike a Darren Criss video.

[loveinsanity98]

Lol "Thats how hard Mulan can rock." Darren your so cute!!!

[itzelly29]

hELP ME i AM SPIRALING OH GOD DARREN YOU'VE COME SO FAR ;__;

[joys4peace]

"Why does my reflection someone I don't know?" *guitar string snaps*

Oh, Darren, you hot mess. Never change.

[dement0rskiss]

perfect human being

[KeepCalmWarbleOn]

GAHH Can't concentrate on my homework...

[TheBeccalynn90]

ok so i must say this. there are 2 things that essentially made up my childhood/teenagehood. that being disney movies and the Harry Potter series. put them together and what do you get? Darren Criss covering disney songs. thank you so much darren you have honestly made my life complete.

[ThePandagirl42]

<3

[oliviahec04]

"that's how hard mulan can rock"..

[marie1089]

omg <3 im in love!

[meteorofedwardssky]

you're on broadway tonight

[asdfuckyouwhore]

tonight he's on broadway, im so proud! look how far he made it :) *creys*

[oneninja8]

And look where he is now :')

[thetophatgirl]

only Darren Criss can make Disney songs so supermegafoxyawesomehot

[TheEvelynRaine]

So basically, I only know of Darren because of Glee so I don't want to seem like I only like him because he is on glee. But he is so talented and one of my favorite artists. But I hope he keeps believing in himself, underdog or not, because I love his voice :)

[giggles254]

Of course you're not a perfect daughter, Darren. (;

[elenicakes]

@giggles254 Or a perfect bride...? :P

[LeJazzHotBaby97]

You know your a crisstian when your subscribed to this channel, even though he hasn't posted in FOREVER!

[Bethanyyyxxx]

guys guys guys! our baby's on broadway tomorrow!

[charlottepouw]

Oh, how I love you.

[CasperTheGhostMusic]

like if tumblr brought you here:)

[drummergrl47]

"i popped a string during that. thats how hard mulan can rock"

lol

[NoOneCanDefeatKB24]

"So if you have never seen me live, here are some crappy videos of me playing some of those songs. They're not the best versions of what I can put out there, but I didn't want to do more than one take, because, hey, it's youtube. So forgive mistakes and just try to enjoy what I got!"

Come on, Darren! Give yourself a little more credit. These "crappy" videos are amazing!!!!!

[StarkidFanCaz]

I made it snow :)

[Decadent0verdose]

You're great. You should try to make some concerts, it should be wonderful.

[lindseyganey2]

it's the besttt how he doesn't change the pronouns

[kroman143]

I just started crying. I can't take all of Darren's supermegafoxyawesomehotness... lessthanthree

[brissallie]

Apparently this version is faster than the original one and i like it.

[pigfartz63]

Guitar string pops at 0:43

[matilda13plus]

MULAN+DARREN=PERFECTION!!!

[isasingssongs]

still gets me

[Qualitylucious]

Darren, I know you probably won't read this, but I think you are amazingly talented! You are living my dream, hopefully someday I will be out there singing and performing too. We will see. You are seriously inspriational. I love how you manage to show your true personality in each song. You make me smile. Your covers are brilliant. If you are ever looking for a song to cover, This Old Love by Lior (while not being a Disney song) is one of my favourites and I would love to see you sing it. :) <3

[katy7088]

This video is helping further my procrastination. DARN YOU DARREN AND YOUR SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOTNESS!

[starkidgleek24]

that was amazing. its just so crazy how good you are

[zer0running]

I'm not the only one who actually went back to watch for the popped guitar string about 20 times, getting distracted by his supermegafoxyawesomehotness each time, right?

[11dogsrule11]

@zer0running baby, your not alone <3

[8895Ashley]

That hole in his shirt is distracting as fuck. I just want to grab my sewing kit and fix it.

[LorttzzRm]

@8895Ashley I think it's not a hole, but the green crocodile from Lacoste.

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

God, I can't believe how far he's come. He went from a curly haired kid covering Disney songs to a singing sensation. It makes me so proud and so incredibly happy for him. He deserves it all so much!

[PictureMeBroken121]

I would hope that Darren couldn't pass for a perfect bride/daughter....

[ilovevaleriozeno]

It's cute how he still puts his fingers on the string that isn't there anymore n_n

[soyanagawa]

of course you wont be a perfect bride nor daughter x_X

[TheMrBritbrit]

oh darren! i wanna know who you are inside haha <3

[hjbwritergrl27]

I got chills. literally. can darren release a Disney album please? and if not, can there at least be a Disney episode of Glee? PLEASE?

[lulytaxz]

@hjbwritergrl27 i'm TOTALLY AGREEE ;D

[clutteredmind9]

Wow I love that hair!

[ohlorditsashleyy]

41 people can't see their reflection.

[dreamiewinx]

[clumsykid12]

I love how intense he gets. So adorable....Erm, excuse me, supermegafoxyawesomehot. ;)

[kittiesmusik]

[CGinevraJoyce]

"That's how hard Mulan can rock!"

[SoulRythm]

I love a man who loves Disney. :) Darren Criss, you are wonderfully fantastic.

[izykack47]

Dear Darren Criss,

Why are you straight?

Love, Me.

[kmasucci]

SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOTT

[SuperMisaMisaAmane]

' i popped a string doing that...thats how hard Mulan can rock'

No Darren, the guitar just cant take your supermegafoxyawesomehotness

[LiliQ0111]

@SuperMisaMisaAmane LOVE xD I live for that expression :D

[TheMoony107]

His shirt is so awesome, and his voice.

[11dogsrule11]

LOL at the info box.

This ballad is so hard-core that one of my strings pop!

[jmerrillrox]

[gemini1415]

[MsIloveharrypotter12]

Loved the cover! Not a life ruiner! :)

[123artysmarty321]

at 0:45 his string broke! somehow that makes this even cuter...

[TheMoony107]

@123artysmarty321 And a few seconds after that he looks down and then keeps playing.

[AkaiAlchemist]

Darren = Life Ruiner

[AshxBabe08]

your so cute :}

[themusiclver911]

i love how he popped the string and kept going. LOVE YOU!!!

[paigeypaigedancer]

I LOVE HIM!

[SamiFindYou]

I want to post a video of me playing a version of this song opn my sax, if i find it! Won't be near as good as this, Darren is totally awesome.

Also, "That's how hard Mulan can rock." He is amazing <3

[Wyrmknave]

Darren Criss's achievements by awesomeness:

1. AVPM/AVPS

2. Disney covers

3. Glee

[BoredAndBeyond]

It's because of Darren that I don't have a boyfriend. My expectations are too high now that i've seen a guy who can sing, dance, act, is funny, nice, and gorgeous. :s

[coranglais]

@BoredAndBeyond

word

[thisismytext]

@BoredAndBeyond  AND a guy that likes Disney... Oh dear....

[deny46013]

you will always be the prefect bride and a daughter for me!! :) <3

[12345mo1]

I love how he sings disney and he is one blessed person who dosent need auto tune to sound good :D

[02Voices01Song]

"Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?"

That was me, Darren ;)

[me2drescue]

instead o0f fighting, can't we just enjoy the sweet music that Darren gives us? :D

[AussiePupz]

Why are these two fighting on Darren's perfect cover...

[RockGirlz123]

@AussiePupz sorry, i really didn't want to fight. i agree it is perfect :)

[Saffy43luvs2act]

@AussiePupz srry but i do agree it is perfect

[faetheyay]

The opening chords you played kinda reminded me of Ok Go's Here it Goes. :D

[ameygirl323]

"that's how hard Mulan can rock" Darren you are the most adorkable person on this planet :D less than three <3

[demilovatofan64]

Name: Darren Criss

Nickname: Harry Freakin' Potter

Hobbies: Making videos that have girls melting for him, being supermegafoxyawesomehot, causing girls to have high expectations on men....and there's more!

[OhMyGodGiveMeAName]

nick pitera sings "who is that CHILD i see". i like this better :)

[everlasting9292]

Darren, I will gladly look at you. All the time. Always. Now. Forever.

[ElizabethLCRandom]

What are you talking about you could have been my perfect bride at any time

[Saffy43luvs2act]

@RockGirlz123 wow r u a blonde or something (no offense smart blondes out there)

[Saffy43luvs2act]

@RockGirlz123 no ur allowed to make them just not ultra stupid ones like urs

[RockGirlz123]

@Saffy43luvs2act K, you're like 10, go back to webkinz, you just don't get humor yet.

[Saffy43luvs2act]

@RockGirlz123 ok ASSHOLE HOWS THIS FOR A 10 YEAR OLD I HAVENT PLAYED ON WEBKINS SINCE I WAS 7 AND I GET IT ALL SO ASK ANYONE ON YOUTUBE AND THEYLL SAY THAT IS A STUPID COMMENT DIPSHIT!

[RockGirlz123]

@Saffy43luvs2act oh you have a big mouth at such a young age, don't be so horrible on Darren's channel, at lease i have some respect! and isn't it bed time for you anyway?

[Saffy43luvs2act]

@RockGirlz123 ok ok i am sad to admit that ur right about Darrens channel (darren if u ever read this im sorry)

and also do i look like im 2?

[Saffy43luvs2act]

@RockGirlz123 im srry i was just looking to pick a fight but um i really dont find that comment funny

[Saffy43luvs2act]

@RockGirlz123 hmm... honestly there are sum things that r good as stupid jokes and some that r just stupid through nd through

[RockGirlz123]

@Saffy43luvs2act k cool

[dancingviper18]

I like how he didn't turn "girl I see" into "Guy I see" lol

[xGoldenSnitch]

Oh my gosh, what are you guys talking about?! Darren has NOT changed. He hasn't changed at all. The only thing that has changed is his job. He's still the quirky, dorky, nerd that we all fell in love with; that will never change. He's still the same; just a different haircut and bigger fanbase.

[HarryFreakenPotter98]

WE HAD DARREN FIRST(the AVPM/S crew)! WE WAN'T HIM BACK SO WE CAN HAVE AVPT!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[JOEYnoJUSTU22]

Watching this, all I could think of (besides "Holy Sh*t he is PERFECTION) was that this is hilariously Darren singing to Blaine. The "Family" are the Gleeks. Lol

[iHeartStarKid620]

@potterlife1 I hope this Darren isn't gone.. I think he's still there but puts on a new image for the media? Idk I think he's doing very well not to lose himself (:

[everlasting9292]

But Darren, you were yourself, and I don't think you broke your family's hearts...

[GaladedridDamodred]

Oh swoooooon. I think my heart just melted.

[RockMyStripySocks]

Only Darren can get away with singing songs as if he was a girl and still be so gorgeous.

[bonerxray]

before you said it and before i read the description, i saw the string broke, haha. nicely done sir, nicely done.

[taylorfromm16]

See, this is the Darren I love. I love his quirky/nerdy music and his modest mojo (trying so hard not to rhyme by accident...) He's totally awesome. But now he's all grown up and making ladies swoon on international television. -sighh-

[potterlife1]

@taylorfromm16

I'm very glad we feel the same way. Trust me, i'm so proud of Darren and i want everything the best for him. But... Glee has changed him. Something's new. I miss the quirky "let's sing disney songs in the bedroom" Darren And it's sad to think that that guy has disappeared and will never come back. Darren will always be in my heart. Not so much...DARREN!! I love the second one but the first one is the real him.

[potterlife1]

I enjoy the Disney and Mulan. But it's so cool that you sing songs meant for girls. "I will never pass for a perfect bride or a perfect daughter". Let's hope not!

[potterlife1]

Wh am i crying?

It's not becuse your adorable.(but you are)

It's ot because you broke your guitar.(but you did)

I can't pinpoint it. Help! Or tell Steph to help.

[SmellsLikePurple369]

hahaha "that's how hard Mulan can rock". what a cool guy that Darren is.

[spencer8003]

That's not how hard Mulan rocks.... that's how hard YOU rock Darren!!! Your awesome!!! Love ya... ;)

[MewIchigolove]

glee really needs to do a cover of disney songs and i would die if darren sang any one of the covers he did.... I such a huge disney princess fan :D

[YourFavoriteDropouts]

...my favorite movie! me and my dad watched this all the time when I was a kid :D sooo many memories! I am in highschool now so if I bring up disney I instantely get teased! aahhhh, we need more people like you in the world

[mmmmmmx3]

trust me darren..... ur a perfect daughter, wife, gay guy, any freakin thing you want to be :)

[princessmalee]

41 dislikes... THANKS HERMAN

[mdsnrnld1]

holy hell. this song......i can't even begin to describe! Darren Criss is absolutely amazing! if I hadn't been in love with him from the start, this would have pushed me over the edge :) <3 I want him soooo very badly

[AnnaStoney]

Omg :')

[blueridgerox]

"That's how hard Mulan can rock." Lol Darren is so awesome

[emmamonster79]

Typical Darren Criss...he's so awesome that he pops his guitar string by playing a disney song.

[whattheheckshotstuff]

@emmamonster79 If you watch him he has to watch the strings after he pops it. I really like Darren great musician. Hope I can meet him and Starkid one day.

[emmamonster79]

@whattheheckshotstuff Duude me too!! And he's pretty much my inspiration.

[TheKopulita]

Pause at 43 seconds!

[Addtothebeauty296]

I really like the base beat at the beginning--> make it more rocky less princesses more to the point of the song :)

[lasatern]

Oh yeah Darren! Mulan rocks HARD! Beautiful cover, but when has it ever not been?

[kaleidomusings]

A great cover from one of my favorite Disney movies. Thank you, Darren.

It's just sort of mind blowing at how much changes in four years. But I guess that goes to show how hard work and perseverance really pay off in the end. Congrats on all your success.

[littleliondog]

Darren Criss is so TOTALLY AWESOME! :D

[hcsmith18]

Darren? I'm not sure if you are aware of this but YOU ARE PERFECT

[thatgirlCarissa]

i am so damn proud of this boy, being one of the girls who swooned over him back when all he had was friends, Youtube, and a guitar :) he's amazing and he hasn't changed a bit. (well, minus the hair.)

[hayleyjones21]

uu wud sooo pass 4 a perfect bride,, not tha i fink ur a women ,,

coz if uu r a women , i must b a lesbian,,

basically ,, I LOVE YOU HARRY FREAKIN POTTER <3

[ObsessiveDCdissorder]

I wonder how he decided to sing that song..... or any of the others for that matter!!!

[OutsidersFreak101]

"That's how hard Mulan can rock." Love it!!! He's so adorable.

[CodyPatrickLittle]

Go to change dot org, and search CD of Disney Covers and sign our petition to get Darren to make a Disney cover CD! Please?! :D

[POISONQ13]

Nice, this song is one of my favorites actually. This song is one of the better ones that you have done. Congratulations to anyone who can get a string to break while playing "Reflection", you have some awesome rockin'-Disney powers there! 

[RinaPurple98]

I wonder if he has a whole drawer full of extra guitar strings or he goes to the music store and the guy's like "What string do you need this time?"

[gigantictwilightlove]

Darren you are a really cool guy. Honestly, you seem like a really nice guy! Sorry that was lame. But just wanted to say that! :)

[AlreadyGoth]

LOL i just replayed this just to see where the string popped xD This cover is amazziinnggg Darren =D <3 <3 <3

[Purplebeans923]

No you won't pass as a perfect bride or daughter your a guy.....BUT you would make my perfect groom or husband;)

[gigantictwilightlove]

You have the greatest voice. It is wonderful, like you Darren. You are SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT. Let us all have COURAGE. Lol potter and glee reference!

[iCanHearUSign]

RUNAWAY WITH ME :P

[SweetBethyBoo]

My favourite Mulan song :) ... You nailed it, Mr Criss :) <3

[falling7star1]

Well I was looking up reflection and I found this.Nice btw

[captainjonesify]

Darren, make more covers! Starkids are lacking doses of Disney Darren! :D

[mariale2892]

Could he be more adorable??

[stargleekmikayla]

Am I the only one who has replayed this to watch the string pop?

[historyfreak17]

Yeah, 'cause Mulan is totally the perfect vision of rock and roll! Love it anyway!
