Oh butterflies in my tummy, please calm down. It's just Darren. The most amazing, talented, funny, beautiful, "totally awesome" person on the planet...Okay. Never mind continue butterflies.(:
Gotta say, i love it when Darren sings songs that people don't necessarily know the words to... i makes it harder for the tone deaf fangirls to scream over the top of his amazing voice. They tend to shut up when they don't know the words... well, sometimes. :)
@CPHam16 Mr Shuester sang Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole's version on ukelele in answer to the New Directons "To Sir With Love" in I hink the season finale last year. :)
I really don't care if he messes up during a live performance, because when it's live you can tell he's really feeling the music and live performances are always better because it's when an artist shows passion, and passion always makes up for the little mistakes by a landslide. Keep being the awesome person you are Darren, don't ever change <3

I love how his shows are so unrehearsed. Like he'll just decide a set list that day and have it scribbled on a piece of paper.
I hope this doesn't change as he gets more popular!
