First Ever TV Interview with Darren Criss in 2007

[alittlelambD]

his hair..

[MissDaisyRye]

He seems a bit (how can I put this nicely)...umm...different in this interview. I LOOOOOVE Darren but in this interview he's definitely...different...

[hana848]

WHERE ARE THE CURLS!!! NOOOOO x

[SarahLeeAnn]

"John Mayer is the the first me, he just got there first." Whoa dude, Whoa. Um...

[MsPotterheadStarkid]

1 dislike...Thanks Hermione!

[melovedisney1492]

He seems so much more "bro-ish" here than nowadays. Very nor-cal chill.

[95n96girl]

With that lighting it looks like Jake has a Mizzou cup

[TennantTardis]

I totally want to hear these 70+ songs, INCLUDING the silly/rude ones. I need this, so bad.

[heartxskater64]

Look at how far he came in less than four years!

[Starkidpotterful]

wheres is fro? :O

[HairConfetti]

I WANT TO HEAR THOSE SONGS DARREN.

[JessiechenXOXO]

GUYS. LOOK AT OUR BABY, ALL GROWN UP AND GOING ON BROADWAY... Brb drowning in proud mama tears.

[summermissmoo]

At least RIB didn't make him cut his hair THIS short for glee. CurlyHobbitHair <3

[thejuliah1]

Hahaha Darrens hand at 2:14-2:17

[xKissCrissx]

Awwwww lok a' him :) I'm feel so proud Xx

[ChristyRusk08]

He reminds me of pre-d'bag Joe Jonas, and yes, Darren is a gazillion BILLION ZILLION times better, and will always be XP

[supercowtotherecue]

doesn`t he look butcher in these?

[heyheyleyley]

Theatre major, musicology minor. Let us love youuu.

[karina5186]

I wonder why they only put it up now

[purplebuddie123]

I love the Haight. :)

[ABeautifulMess116]

Aww, and look how far he's come since then. *sniffle*

Also, I like his hair short but that cut is just too short; it doesn't really suit him, imo.

[RockGirlz123]

i live to wear long sleeve shirts over short sleeve shirts over long sleeve shirts ..... had to say that :P

[superfangirl7]

Look at him. So cute. So little. Where's his hair. Just...aaawwwwwww.

[mcdancer2013]

OMG the hair! ok now that that is out of my system I just love watching him in interviews. Even then we just had a way with words. He's good at getting out what he wants to say.

[nksw1]

DAMMIT DARREN YOU MADE ME LOSE AT SNAKE.

[meg19han]

you're hair is so small<33 that was my first thought when darren came on camera..(:

[Kuei74]

what does Darren says at 2:41?

[watchwolvtv]

@Kuei74

He says "Sha and Alton can attest to". There were two other musicians on the show that day: Sha Beamon and Alton James. They were on set as Darren mentioned them...

[Kuei74]

@watchwolvtv thanks!

[scenemonster101]

When I first saw him on this video I was like O.o

[rachel237linda]

Might these silly songs include "The Menstrual Minstrel"??? :')

[LuckyFeathers23]

@rachel237linda MY.THOUGHTS.EXACTLY. LA DA DAI LA DA DAI DAI

[jumpymoo]

0 dislikes.....that just proves how totally awesome darren is :)

[AwkwardSims]

Only Darren could say musicianship and make it sound intelligent :D

[ThisIsAPenPercy]

Perhaps he didn't know he could be expressive back then. It was his first interview. He was probably nervous

[MsSometimes11]

His eyebrows are less expressive.

[DannyLovah]

glad to know he's always been sexy :))

[absolution12321]

awwwwww he's so young and cute!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

[Gleefan918]

HES SO YOUNG AND ADORABLE!

[bigjakefan]

@Gleefan918

what about Jake being the interviewer?  Nobody talks about him!!!

[klim1004]

He's so much more lively now in interviews. Seems kinda shy in this one. Weird. :)

[ButterFingers7924]

Little did he know he would be kissing a very lucky young man in front of a live audience in Dublin 4 years later... *sigh* :) <3

[jnrmluver]

@ButterFingers7924 What man?:O

[ButterFingers7924]

@jnrmluver Chris Colfer! :D

[jnrmluver]

@ButterFingers7924 Oh right >.<

[DannyLovah]

@ButterFingers7924 I just spazzed like i spazzed when they kissed in Original Song. DId Chris know about it?

[ButterFingers7924]

@DannyLovah Oh God that was... God :D (And) Apparently not... :D And then Chris started rolling around the floor like Draco :D Because he was so shocked and started fanning himself :) And it was like so amazing 'cause Chris was properly SHOCKED! :D *excited face* If you watch it Darren tells him to stand up and Chris is like "What?! This isn't in the script... " Naya (Santana) and Darren are apparently good friends and they planned it... Heather was pretty shocked too. :)

[Acoontey]

His hair almost looks straight instead of curly O.O...that's not a good thing D:

[littlecat0908]

Darren please, never ever ever go back to that hair again. Free the curls :D

[randomperson238]

Can I hear those songs Darren? Hahaha

[6045310708]

he's so much more like...shy i guess?? though that doesn't seem like the right word. Looks like his outgoing charisma kicked in a little later, which is good news for me!

[thebasilina]

Just saying...I want to hear those inappropriate songs. And he never ceases to amazing me with the shear magnitude of his knowledge about...everything.

[LoolaCrushesYou]

omg. I just realized that sometimes it looks like his eyes were blue O.o just watch the part from 2:31 to 2:36. Am I the only one who can see it ?

[macharmza]

@LoolaCrushesYou Sorta

[TheStalkerNinja]

0 dislikes THANKS HER- wait WHOOHOOOOO

[howzatstew]

He plays the violin? how can he be so perfect?!?

[stinasings]

Umm musicology is a major its the study of the aesthetics of music can also branch into music's affect in history,polictics etc. They are musicologist who have doctorates in it and teach it. Also ethnomusicologist who teach the history of music within different ethnic groups. For ex I have a friend who teaches about the history of AA music he is an ethnomusicologist.

[missjacobblack1208]

I'm sure musicology isn't a subject, knowing Darren, he just said that to make the interviewer feel like a fool for believing it XD just kidding Darren is too nice for that hahaha I want to hear those songs

[Belx2]

@missjacobblack1208 Uhmm... Musicology is the scholarly study of music.In the narrow sense, musicology is confined to the music history of Western culture. In the intermediate sense, it includes all relevant cultures and a range of musical forms, styles, genres and traditions. In the broad sense, it includes all musically relevant disciplines and all manifestations of music in all cultures. So, yeah... It could be a subject.

[missjacobblack1208]

@Belx2 well, I feel like an idiot..musicology doesn't sound very legit, but apparently you proved me wrong...

[Belx2]

@missjacobblack1208 Oh my god. I wasn't trying to make you look bad. Don't feel that way. Gosh. I wasn't trying to put you down.

[missjacobblack1208]

@Belx2 It's okay :D Haha, I learned something new XD

[beccstarr12]

2:30 he looks like chris pine - only sexier ;)

[beccstarr12]

UR HAIR UR HAIR UR HAIR IS AMAZING

[weeboman]

That's the t-shirt he wore as Toby Philips!

I need to get a life

[PinkySweet19]

The sound is all screwed up for me...wtf? :/ If I turn it up full blast I hear tinny, barely intelligible sounds in the background but that's it. What's wrong D:

[SIsForSarah123]

musicology.... i'm sorry darren and i love you, but that is NOT a legitamate subject <3

[happylandpatients]

[luvjpfe]

[asyarihahaha]

[tgheschel]

I want to hear those 70 songs, Darren.

[christlove1cor13]

WOAH....He looks YOUNG!

[InstinctiveLoveKoori]

Theatre major and Musicology minor...wonder if he was subconsciously/premonition-pre­paring for Glee...lol....utilizes both aspects, definitely ^^

[Xx0okaylao0xX]

Woahh his hair was even shorter in 2007!!! I'm glad he didn't go that short this time!!

[amiddendorf23]

the violin? :D

[saucypedanticwench]

Thanks for posting this! =) omg..... "the first me" ....Darren, did you just SAY that?!!?!? LOL

[audreybrooks]

@saucypedanticwench ahaha i thought that was hilarious too

[Jaylecialee]

OMG. He look mad young and so different then his now self. LOL.

[seeleyboothfan]

I didn't know that was what the song was based on.

[frottguy]

Darren Criss interviews are always fun to watch. You also get to learn stuff. :D

[crmmb]

I hear absolutely no John Mayor in Darren's music. He pretty much talked his way around the fact that he doesn't either.

[xoMrsWentzxo]

omg I've thought on more than one account that Darren does remind me of John Mayor but I like Darren so much more.

[AnnieArmstrong17]

great!! :D Thanks for posting this... AH! ^^ :)

[littletoolate]

Oh my god I am a huge John Mayer fan (and huge Darren fan) and I always suspected that Darren was one too!!! The "one more question" line in 'I Still Think', the "lips are made of candy" line in 'Don't You', he covered 'Free Fallin' like John did..... yeah xD

[treehugger625]

@littletoolate that's EXACTLY what i've always thought.

[littletoolate]

@treehugger625 Really?? You're awesome then!! xD

[rachel237linda]

Brilliant :D Thanks for uploading!!!

[grod1331]

i enjoy this so so much. (:

[lost686girl]

OH HELL YES

[LilikoiLuv]

We've only seen Darren's performance of "The Muse" prior to this. Now we finally get to see the interview that preceded it! Thanks for sharing this gem!

[faireststars1]

[brucasfan09]
