[thebasilina]

Have anyone ever noticed how his left hand sometimes twitches? 0:24

[emilymumblesxx]

He is an amazing performer. I need to see him live

[123Msalliecat]

No matter how hard he tries he can't help but smile. -3

[itsxmexlaurex]

Where did from this song? (sorry im french)

[mdbaldo]

@itsxmexlaurex Darren wrote this song a few years ago. A slightly different version of it is in "A Very Potter Sequel" where it is sung by Joe Walker as Professor Umbridge. But I like it even better when Darren sings it. So sexy!

[itsxmexlaurex]

@mdbaldo Thank you 

[itsxmexlaurex]

@mdbaldo Tanks. Me too I prefere when it's Darren who sing. (it's correct?!!)

[bookwormXXcooldude]

I love how all the fangirl's go crazy when he swears... xoxo

[apps1301]

@icy2466 yeah that's kind of like a twitch he has lol

[VDifferentObsessions]

So I watched this three times :

1) To stare at his beautiful eyes.

2) To stare at his beautiful mouth.

3) To stare at his beautiful hands.

Gosh I love him <3

[dubbleSHWANG]

six months since this happened!

[AAWHEEEE]

Casually goes over and starts playing drums.... love Darren!

[icy2466]

Has anyone else noticed that whenever he sings, he randomly jerks his head to the left?? No? Well, anyways, its supermegafoxyawesomehot. <3

[TamsinLux]

I love the bassist's face when Darren starts singing and the crowd goes wild

[mandys315]

OH MY GOSH HES SO SEXY IN THIS VID HIS ARMS AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[DarrenCrissLover1000]

Is it just me or is it really hot the way he points to the crowd saying " When I saw you standing there"

[me2drescue]

thx sooo much for uploading! such good quality (both the camera and the performance) thxxx!!! :D

[samuelCWM]

he sounds exactly the same live

[ImJustAGleek]

Darren could be a complete orchestra by himself.

[ImJustAGleek]

@mdbaldo Your camera's just amazing, you offer us a great quality. And that is all i need to take my Darren-drug of the day :) Just... thank you su much !

[Vanwyn1]

His stage presence is just.. wow.

[AlyssaXo1365]

holy fuck.

[GabbyDC08]

god, his head bobbing .... holy wizard god.... <3

[florencefan123]

He's ridiculously sexy!

[mandys315]

@florencefan123 you can say that a billion more time =D

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

I love how he smiles when he sings. It's so adorable!

[TheEliseylou]

i want Darren to come to England!

[VDifferentObsessions]

His SO HOT on the drums...

1 dislike? My father will hear about this.

[123longlive]

My little sister was watching this with me and she asked me why at around 2:30 everyone suddenly screamed... dunno how to explain "curse words sound sexy coming out of darren's mouth"- to a seven year old.

[LitMe1]

Ok, why is he singing my fav darren song while being wet (Or am i just imagining tht hes wet) XD this is too much.

[madiroxx11]

Ok why can't I get this song on mp3 skull or iTunes please help me!!!

[rmuurph13]

Darren Criss playing the drums = Off go my pants.

[purplelover9194]

Does anyone know what brand and model his guitar is?

[thisisnotHolly]

@purplelover9194 Yes I do! I actually spent a whole science lesson going through possible guitars. Its defiantly a Taylor 710ce :)

[Vanwyn1]

I want this to be on iTunes so bad. Stutter with Darren singing.. but there's only one with Joe singing :/

[mdbaldo]

@Vanwyn1 It is my hope that when Darren records his solo album, Stutter will be on it. Watching that performance is awesome. In the meantime, feel free to replay my video!

[Vanwyn1]

@mdbaldo I have lost count already of how many times I have replayed this video haha! Thanks for uploading! I wish I lived in America so I could see him perform. He's seriously talented.

[mandys315]

@mdbaldo I LOVE THIS SONG AT FIRST I COULDNT GET INTO IT AND NOW I LOVE IT =D

[ultimatumgleek13]

1 dislike... thanks hermione ¬¬'

[mobeenahmad93]

he needs to release a studio version of this song because i almost like it more than the acoustic version

[Marthyxxbabie]

I love how that guy in the blue shirt is just going balls to the walls in the back.

[JackSparrowILU]

I actually started screaming with the audience. o___o

[GraceG437]

bam. pregnant.

[blardybaboons]

oh god the bass player is cute too.

[melovedisney1492]

It would actually be super amazing if, on Glee, Finn told Blaine to "sit down" again, and then Blaine would have a seat at the drum kit and absolutely melt faces. Ahh so quality.

[LITERARYjunkie25]

THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE RECORDED.

seriously. it's like sex in a song.

[KraziiIsMe]

How long was the concert?

[mdbaldo]

@KraziiIsMe Not nearly long enough! About 1 1/2 hours I think. I could watch him all day!

[KraziiIsMe]

@mdbaldo I wish I had the chance to! I'm crossing my fingers and hoping against hope he'll decide to play a show on the side while doing How To Succeed (which I have tickets to!! SO excited!) but it doesn't look likely. Thanks for the response, and thank you SO much for uploading the videos!!!!:DDD

[SnowRose94]

check out the bass player in the back. he's having an awesome time. lol :))

[WhiteRebeldeAngel]

that song is great :) and darren of course too!!!

[puppydogslol101]

what camera do u have?? its like HD :)

[mdbaldo]

@puppydogslol101 It is HD. Its a Canon PowerShot SX30 IS and I highly recommend it. Takes both still and video. 14.1 megapixel. one touch recording. 35x zoom. Works in extremely low light and very simple to operate. Its about a 350.00 camera. I paid 450. when I bought it but the price has come down since then. Isn't Darren AWESOME???

[juliestar72]

only dirty filthy things were rolling through my mind during this....hes so damn pretty, i want one :(

[TheMsKimiko]

awesome as always, Darren :D

[madiroxx11]

I also like how on Jb vids there are hate comments but on daren criss vids all the comments are positive!!

[madiroxx11]

I love how I can't stop watching this!! He is addicting! I need rehab!

[mdbaldo]

@madiroxx11 Sorry, (well, no I'm not!) There is NO cure for Darren Criss addiction. You just need to keep consuming the drug of your choice (DARREN!) on a regular basis to get your fix! Glad you enjoyed.

[hdorris1]

@mdbaldo Thats funny you say that. I posted something on my facebook and my friend said i was addicted to him and I said "Yeah thats right. Hes my own personal brand of Heroin! (Quoting Twilight)"

[madiroxx11]

When he performs his facial expressions crack me up! Oh, I love you Darren!

[ginger31612]

oh my god his arms his arms

[moonHMZ]

what the hellllll that was totally awesome!

[madiroxx11]

I really wanna be that microphone!

[JessiechenXOXO]

this bastard ass is ruining all men for me. -3

[savicy]

1:57

Oh, I love the way hes face changes form 'Super-Serious' too 'SuperDarrenichBrightSmile' and then mess up the lyrics!!

[blais3rd]

Someone please call 911 cause someone has been raping the replay button for 3 days straight and she can't STOP!!! 1.20-1.35 drives me so wild I just want to take my top off! I literally fell to my knees and clutched my hair like an insane psycho and made this odd noises in my throat at 3.14-3.53

[thisxheart]

I'm surprised he didn't fall at the end.

[crissandthemum]

Well, I knew Darren was talented - but the passion and emotion in this performance is just breathtaking - now where's that replay button!

[charlotterojas]

I could watch him forever.

[littlemissstarkid]

The things this man does to me.....

[ohlorditsashleyy]

my god.. he just keeps on getting more amazing and flawless<3

[TheAshie23]

Coming in my panties.... Not gonna lie.

[jamiehofi]

i can't contain myself.. this video is amazing!!!!!!

[littlemissstarkid]

I could have sworn I wasn't pregnant before watching this....

And starkidredvine it's because some of the songs he had already written and they just changed the lyrics for the musicals: Not Alone, Stutter etc. :)

[starkidredvine]

how come this version is different than the one in AVPS??

[ezri11]

@starkidredvine Because the songs were written when he was like 16. the lyrics were changes to make them fit. 

[crankupdamusic]

He's even more amazing when he's in like a rage. xD

[stk711]

one dislike? malfoy you little shit..

[randomgal13]

GAH! Seeing this, then remembering I live in Australia and therefore will probably never see him live, KILLS me! You have absolutely no idea how much it kills me. His performances are INSANE!

[hollyyllove]

that 1 dislike is pissing me off -_-

[nerimonster426]

lol what are ovaries

[LuckyFeathers23]

@nerimonster426 ...part of the female reproductive system. theyre where the eggs chill.

[tagracyk]

It was already written before AVPS (same with Sami[Harry] and Not Alone in AVPM)

[hdorris1]

Anyone know which version of this song was written first? This one or the Umbridge one?



[AlexLovesTH]

@hdorris1 This one was

[MaggieSerendipity]

Love Darren's hardcore acoustic guitar bit in the middle! You're totally awesome, Darren. <3

[whisperedtouches]

I am fascinated by Darren's arm muscles. Is that weird?

[OBsessssed]

My obsession for Chris Lorentz has reached a pinnacle. That man.

[LuckyFeathers23]

I met him here :) He gives the best fucking hugs. Like ever.

[lisa1210lisa]

@LuckyFeathers23  Haha yeah everyone says that :P You're so lucky!!!

[hdorris1]

One Dislike... Thanks Hermione!

[queeneve]

I was there!! He KILLED IT!!

[o0MSA0o]

Did I just hit,literally, a thousand times on the "Like" button?

[recklessythinking]

Damn Darren I need a cigarette now .. ;)

[Mimigleek]

all im gonna say is DAMNN DARREN

[cornflakesrglutnfree]

i love that he forgets the lyrics @ 2:00 . signature darren. why would you remember it? you only wrote it. silly boy. 

[berenicethegirl]

Why is this another version ?

[moncan86]

Oh My God! Im writing from my grave because Darren killed me with his overload of sex appeal!!!! This was amazing! Does he still put on shows like this? I would travel so far just to see him!

[mdbaldo]

@moncan86 He does solo concerts when he can fit it in with the Glee schedule. He absolutely loves performing for his fans. This was August 13, a month ago today. He also performed with the StarKids at LeakyCon July 16th. He managed to cram in a few Six Flags shows this summer too between Glee and the Glee Live tour. He will find a way to fit a couple shows in this year, I am sure. That's just Darren. I flew to Chicago for this one from Pittsburgh and it was sooo worth it.

[moncan86]

@mdbaldo oh man im so jealous :) Actually funny enough im pretty sure I watched your videos from leakycon-i recognize your username lol Not to sound creepy haha but they were good ones :) How do you hear about these performances and appearences though? Id seen somewhere someone said something about on a facebook page but when I looked up him on FB they all looked like unofficial fan pages with no info :(

[mdbaldo]

@moncan86 I follow Darren Criss on facebook and twitter. I also follow his brother Chuck Criss on twitter (@Chuck_Criss). Also fansite @darrencrisscom sometimes has info. And since I follow @TeamStarKid (his production company) and a bunch of other Darren fans and fansites, thats usually how I hear. It is soooo worth it to see him live. Please look at my video To Have a Home from LeakyCon. You will see the starkids and see an emotional performance by Darren. And I am @mardie186 on twitter.

[moncan86]

@mdbaldo actually I have seen that. I spent quite a bit of time on here watching videos of them at leakycon but im not ashamed haha but yes To Have a Home was pretty freaking amazing and the hug at the end was a

Too sweet! From the looks of the videos I watched they all were fantastic at Leakycon :) I do already follow him on twitter and just added team starkid and all that but I was wondering if I might be able to get a link or such from you for the FB page you follow please?

[moncan86]

i just wanted to be the fb page I follow is a legitmately informative one but if not its ok :) Thanks for sharing all the info you have with me -its been really helpful :) @mdbaldo

[ImJustAGleek]

@mdbaldo I hope so bad that he will do an European tour... :)

[jenjiy]

"Dark eyes" - hands on his hair

"Dark hair" - gestures to eyes

How he always does this *laughs*

I just love him!!

[TrueGoldenArrow]

*Darren plays drums*

What is he trying to do kill us with his awesomeness?

[TrueGoldenArrow]

This is why i always have the feeling he is either naturally hyper or on a lot of sugar

[ImJustAGleek]

I was, i am, and i'll always be your lover :D

[thegrace2578]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!

I love it when Darren starts playing the drums.

My heart skips a beat!

[LittleMisssMalfoy13]

Oh How I love him!! He's supermegafoxyawsomehot!!

[minminnixxher5]

Oh my god!!! Is there anything he can't do? Holy shit he's magic X) <3

[TheButton666]

I love this song!! I also love his guitar, until I found it cost over $1,500

[xKissCrissx]

Nice view 1:20 :) SEX.GOD

[piemamma]

lol, random headbanging at 1:04 :P

[randomgal13]

AND I SHALL SIT HERE CONSUMED WITH LUST FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!

[recklessythinking]

Darren siriusly needs to record this song o_0 .. Darren "DON'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO!"

[DressageFjord]

Holy shit. Darren on the drums is far to attractive to even possibly be healthy...

[musiclover6945]

Dear Lord,

thank you for giving us Darren to make up for all those other jackasses out there. Just when i thought he couldnt get any sexier, he played Stutter so sexy/adorable and smiling all the time, and he DRUMMED. Thank you. Just.. Thank you. This just made me believe in you.

[noigirl]

That man is just amazing !

[karina5186]

I find it amazing that the only available versions of this song are live ones recorded (usually bad recordings) yet the crowd knows all the words ^_^

Also at around 2:02 what was that with the lips and the wink and sdfghjas

[anigleek]

this has got to be the sexiest performance of stutter he has ever done!!!

[xoMrsWentzxo]

lol wow people love Stutter. If only Darren knew why...

lol.

[loisandclarklover]

he goes mad hard at 2:44. Love this man till the day i die.

[IwaFleep617]

He sweat. He forgot his own lyrics. He cussed. He spazzed on the drums (and the guitar). He jumped. He made my heart go "Weeeee." Darren Freakin' Criss, I love you <3

[musiclover6945]

Haha, i just love how much he's enjoying this.. Gotta freakin' love him :)

[xKissCrissx]

Yes Darren is sex on legs but I feel this would be so much better if he was wearing a pink dress :)

[jenjiy]

How are you REAL???!!!

[moonshoeschloe]

is there anything that he can't do?!

[mezzoforte127]

The bassist is rockin out! Fucking love it!

[xheypat]

He should dance every time he sings this song. It reminds me of Joe Walker with the blonde wig, and I die every time I watch that musical!

[kaheels]

Thumbs up for popped collars!!  Hell yeah.

[lessthanthre3you]

bless your heart for posting this video.

[mdbaldo]

@CosmeticsMad123 @CosmeticsMad123 Canon PowerShot SX 30 IS . BEST CAMERA EVER. 35x zoom, 14.1 megapixel, and easy to operate. Its about a 450.00 camera but to me well worth the money. Has autofocus, image stabilization and automatically adjusts for the lighting, etc.

[animegirl33b]

@mdbaldo I. AM. SO. JEALOUS. Seriously, my camera was pure shit. All my videos were just 'meh.'

[mdbaldo]

@animegirl33b Didn't post them to cause Jealousy (another Darren song!). I wanted to share with those that couldn't be there or couldn't see his gorgeous face and all the emotion and energy he puts into his performance. For those who will never get to see him live, I was hoping to share some of that awesome experience. I relive this concert every time I play these. Darren is quite the showman. Glee does not reflect what a talented and energetic and passionate entertainer this man is. <3

[Beep12gurl]

UNF UNF UNF UNF UNFFFFF!!!!!!!!

[rayenevinluan]

he is so cute when he forgot the words!

[brnigrlfl624]

i was never your lover? you never asked!!!! 

[kimamas44]

my favorite Darren song - love the energy!  amazing how he so seemlessly jumps on the drums.

[HSMgirl88]

You can totally see how much fun he had, he could barely keep himself from smiling the whole time^^ Dork, I love you :D

[erikaalbury]

Don't you tell me that you don't want to!!!!!

[xXxHoney01xXx]

the sweat..

[laaaaurenmeatsixxx]

@TheScarlettCharlotte I AGREE HE SHOULD COME TO SCOTLAND!!

[RChaha]

Crazy head banging? Check(:

[TheScarlettCharlotte]

God darten won't you ever come to scotland

[TheYasso97]

How everyone screams when Darren says "fuck" :D

[luvjpfe]

WOW! you have an awesome camara and he is unbelievable live. Thanks.

[LooshyXD]

And he forgot the words! Classic :D

[LooshyXD]

You are so lucky... Darren is amazing... but we all knew that :D
