Darren Criss - Status Quo (From Starship)

[thinkgood]

There's a similarity between this song and "Don't Let Me Go" from Shrek the Musical. Anyone else hear it?

[MichMashxx]

So I started to learn this song on guitar, and every time I'd play it I'd be like "Yeah! This is awesome!".... watch this video.... uuuuh.... *hangs head in shame*

Mr Criss, I bow to a skill far greater then my own. :)

[mandys315]

@MichMashxx keep trying youll get it =D

[AlyssaRenee116]

@MichMashxx could you maybe send me the chords? i really wanna learn how.

[ScarletStone191]

He'll be back for the senior year guys, don't worry. They won't do it without him. I think the person we have to worry about not being in AVPSY is Bonnie.

[AlwaysAStarkid]

The head bobs on the "no no no" are so freaking adorable.

[historyfreak17]

The funny thing is he probably would've messed it up even if he was in the show. But that's why we love him!

[jovanddavid]

@historyfreak17 true!!! and that makes him really adorable!

[mandys315]

@jovanddavid =D i tottaly agree and maybe he does it on purpose sometimes because i dont know how accurture this is but someone said that he probally does it on purpose sometimes because he knows how much we love it about him which i love because i love hearing a song when he dosent mess up but when he does he covers so adoreably its enteraining and amazing and makes me look forward to wacthing his live shows on here

[LunaLovegood478]

Why can't I play the guitar that frickin' amazingly?!?!?!

[ZeldaFreak428]

"I think I'm going to mess up." So I watch, and after the key change I start thinking, "Hey! He hasn't messed up yet! He's fine." And then he messes up. My next thoughts? "Oh Darren. <3"

[Hannstargirl22]

"How can a person be THAT perfect " "ITS DARREN FREAKING CRISS"

[harypotter37]

"Wait! Give me a second! Kay" *turns on random polka music* "Ok that didn't help at all..."

[ashlynpaige3]

"Don't blame me for not knowing it. I only wrote the music."

What a loser. ;)

[ErinnSullivan]

I love the random polka music he played.. hah!

[melmel22892]

I personally think Darren’s character Blaine would look absolutely amazing if he wore an outfit like this even if it was just once.

[phillip1230]

... am i the only one who thinks that they may have been making a high school musical reference here?

[erica13sabel]

Darren is such a nerd omg the beginning.

[TheTygridia]

Darren, it's OK you don't know the lyrics most of the time, but we've known you for long enough to know that it doesn't matter whether you were in the play or not: you just mess it up...

[rachunicornsinst]

wondering what chords-tabs at the beginning he's using...

[RUSures1109]

i know he keeps forgetting his lyrics, but it's kind of insanely adorable....and hot..more specifically supermegaawesomefoxthot.

[MsKenzieJ]

"i wasn't in the show, so you can't blame me for messing it up...i only wrote the music." hahaha oh darren

[ronhermantina]

i dont know all the words i only wrote it xx Darrens Awsome

[cleonamichelle]

"I'm gonna screw this up, but it's called Status Quo" *Plays it flawlessly* >_<

[peerieweirdo]

I know this on ukulele... 

[Atthex]

I cannot even STAND watching these videos, knowing that I'll never be with him -sadface- T^T

xD

[Shazzanggapow]

Woah, Cool.

[katherine9997]

GIVE US BACK DARREN, GLEE! Just for one musical!!! Please? AVPM needs a threequel!

[DuskeyFilms]

@katherine9997 its being made ur late lol

[ra1derg1rl1000]

"I wasn't in the show, so I don't really know the lyrics. I just wrote it." Oh, Darren, I love thee.

[historyfreak17]

I think I've only seen him forget the lyrics to his own songs...

[MissRosieGleek]

0.0 SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT

[ObsessedOverDarrenC]

Darren Loves the waiting music :) ADORABLE!!

[wannabstarshipranger]

if anyone else forgot their lyrics as much as he does it would just get annoying but for Darren its just so charming ahh<3

[bunnygirl1208]

Lessthanthree

[didgimonlover]

Darren 101: forgets his own lyrics

ahaha typical Darren

[TheWoopWoopWoOoo]

Darren really should know the lyrics. Hw wrote the song, didn't he? xD

But he's so damn cute. <3

[12StrawberryxCream]

I have both versions on my ipod.

I love both versions.

I love this damn song.

[cubyegrl4]

0:20 - Hahahahahahaha! My brothers are pissed that I keep laughing out loud! But heck, this is just too perfect for me!

[CGwonder]

Things we love Darren for: forgetting his lyrics.

[SkyLily13]

How do you know you've been watching starship too much? You recognise the first two notes of status quo

[jesebud]

Does anyone know the chords for this song? Thanks!

[charbarness]

He's got very cute memory loss:)

[ThePurpleBoom]

"so much more than status que.. who uh, who what cares was it uhh.....

WHO CARES ABOUT BEING - "

had me laughing sooo hard

[Zenksy]

one of my fav songs....THIS BETTER BE IN DARREN'S ALBUM

[midnightwing4]

-flail-

[supermegafxyawesmhot]

im not trying to be a dick or anything, cause i love darren's singing and all dont get me wrong, but i think joey richter sings this so much better.

[watcher792]

@supermegafxyawesmhot that's because you heard joey first and that hardwired your brain to like him better (though he sings it awesomly)

[imprintontwilight]

"And then its intermission, so..."

Like nothing happened.

[GoldenPebs]

His face when he forgets the words :D but he gets back into it so quickly! Pure T.A.L.E.N.T :)

[GoldenPebs]

Oh my god. This video reminds me of how and why I'm in love with him. -3

[booksaremypassion]

i love that he always messes up the words of his own songs but he never forgets them on disney songs^^

[supercookiemonsters1]

I love how quickly he gets back into the song even after he forgets the lyrics <3

[ohmydietwayferers]

i dont get why people like this.. THEY NEED TO LOVE THIS.

[historyfreak17]

Gotta hate that awkward moment when you forget the lyrics to a song you wrote....

[ilikemnms202]

"there's nothing more badass then being yourself." ~Darren Criss-3

[amaya1334]

Why is Darren Criss so attractive @//@

[screenwriterchick]

You know you're obsessed with this version of Status Quo when you can sing the little German-type song at the beginning. I'm pathetic.

[lilmaddieme]

Yes, i am a hufflepuff. :)

[CrosbySinatraAndDean]

@lilmaddieme FIND!

[lilmaddieme]

I find nothing wrong with his eyebrows.

[iRock71]

Anyone else think that Joey's version is better?

[sammywood89]

Both versions of this song (Joey's and Darren's) are AMAZING! They are completely different though...after all...Joey is ACTING in his because it is a LIVE performance. Now we can just enjoy Joey's amazing acting skill and Darren's amazing voice.

[Stripes4Strawberries]

"*epic guitar and note-holding*...........and then it's intermission, so...yeah"

[Stripes4Strawberries]

@Omaha345 Oh my God I get that reference, but for the life of me I can't remember where it's from. It was a picture, wasn't it? But where...I know, I know, 10 points from Gryffindor for my lack of remembrance :/

[JMproductions3]

darren in plaid shirts <3333

and his voice just makes me melt

[nksw1]

i just love the way he sings. seriously, every time he opens his mouth, the emotions are practically TANGIBLE

[sapphirethril]

When i mention Darren around some of my friends they go "who's that?" and i'm like O.o "how do you not know?"

[ebloomify]

@sapphirethril i usually threaten to wrap them in a tortilla. and eat them. as a snack. maybe with some pico de gallo.

[sapphirethril]

@ebloomify i'm not like Taz though, i more like specs smart and nice...

[ebloomify]

@sapphirethril i don't care, burritos are still delicious! ;P

[sapphirethril]

@ebloomify that is true

[peerieweirdo]

This song is the inspiration for me learning guitar!

[AliceRose4ever]

i love you! you know how many teen girls talk about you....like all the time.....idk about the rest of the world but my friends and i always do!

[katiegirl189189]

darren its ok you dont need to know the words we still love you

[jussi4kk]

I love the waiting music xD

[Swagge21]

I think the reason that a lot of people like Joey's version more is because we feel that Joey can actually relate to the song better than Darren can.

[ebloomify]

i love his adorable little head jerks that he always does 2:22 <3

[TheKitty1kat]

I like when joey sings it better ( partly cause it has Lauren with a fake moustache in the background)

[cindycindification]

HES REPLACING DANIEL RADCLIFFE ON BROADWAY AS FINCH IN HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING!!! I HAVE OFFICIALLY DITCHED MY COLLEGE FUND!

[iamthemockingjay1]

<3 DARREN CRISS

[AnaSky13]

Idk,I like Joey's version more.

[RockGirlz123]

He should write theme songs for cartoons cause they would be boss!

[Omaha345]

DARREN DOESN'T KNOW

the lyrics

But you know what he does know? Apple juice man, fucking delicious.

[twilightwarrior23]

@Omaha345 : WIN

[nologicforemotion098]

i am infatuated with his eyebrows..<3

[ebloomify]

@nologicforemotion098 and his arms. and hair. and voice. and disney-ness. and eyes. and his sunglasses. and plaid shirts. and TALENT. SO MUCH TALENT. but yes, THOSE DANG EYEBROWS!

[nologicforemotion098]

@ebloomify well...yes after all he has impregnated me with the sound of his voice....

[ebloomify]

@nologicforemotion098 he has fathered many children that way...

[nologicforemotion098]

@ebloomify haha i wish that was possible i would write him a letter saying i have your child after that of course he would have to come meet us. lol

[ebloomify]

@nologicforemotion098 of course! this is the solution to all of my life's problems...

[TrueGoldenArrow]

He's the only guy that can get away with forgetting his own lyrics. Thats how totally awesome he is

[Random3awesomness]

I love the little german gig thingy! XD lol I LOVE YOU DARREN!!!!!!

[girliegooner]

Ughh... I really should stop watching Darren Criss videos... They make me die cause of his supermegafoxyhotness soo many times!!!!

[12StrawberryxCream]

Dear youtube,

There has obviously been a mistake on this video,

2 over excited Darren & Starkid fans accidently hit the dislike button,

we would like you go over this mistake & correct it.

Thank you,

Starkids, Gleeks & Darren fans everywhere

[LesMisGavrocheRI]

I saw this live!!!!

[skiracinHP]

he wouldn't be the darren criss we all know and love if he didn't forget his own lyrics <3

[randomsocksqueen]

oh no wait a seconds ((stupid music plays)) nope that didn't help a bit it just confused me xD 

[sydandoreo]

oh darren. just like me. always forgeting the lyrics that i wrote myself. its probably a filipino thing...nah. its an adorable darren thing :)

[lilmaddieme]

Anyone just watched him play the guitar? I know, its hard to remove your eyes from his face, but seriously. Its crazy.

[MidnightThief15]

"I wasn't in the show, so don't blame me for not knowing it. (I only wrote the music.)"

:D

[himynameissmile]

Yeah, you dont need to know the words you didnt sing them in the show, you just thought them up and wrote the thing! Luckily your fuck ups are forgiveable with the power of red vines

[dangerjonasluv20]

2 dislikes? DRACO YOU LITTLE SHIT

[TheCrazyFool1995]

A dislike button? I assume you put it there by mistake, Youtube?

[lizy425]

I'm sorry, but even though I'm completely obsessed with Darren, Joey sings this better. :( :)

[harleynj95]

Imagine if you could get paid to stare at his face...... i probably would be richer then bill gates

too supermegafoxyawesomehot for words

[gleeks1231]

he is brilliant! He wrote this song himself, I mean, who else can do that?

[meg19han]

i only just realized after finishing watching the video that i had a full on smile on my face the entire time(: you're amazing darren!

[FollowxYourxDreamsx]

Two dislikes? MY FATHER WILL BE HEARING ABOUT THIS.

[LyricalMastermind2]

Most amazing song. EVER! 

[hyperspazola]

He is an AMAZING guitar player! And how does he manage to be beyond supermegafoxyawesomehot (that's probably not even possible yet he manages to do it) and at the same time beyond supermegakittyawesomecute (again not possible, but he does it) at the same time?! How come this guy's so amazing?!

[TardisReject]

I could sit and watch Darren all day~

[prettylittlegleeks1]

@TardisReject I DO sit and watch Darren all day <3

[whisperedtouches]

Is no one else awed by Darren's guitar skills? Especially at the end. :O

[swedishmikafan]

As much as I love Darren, Joey actually does this song better. <3

[InLoveWithMango]

I LOL-ed at the beginning when he did that thing with the piano!

[hitgirl123]

Darren has a beautiful voice. (:

Joey pulls off everything PERFECTLY though. He plays the part. (:

[DCStarKid09]

It's not a Darren Criss show until he forgets the words. <3

[jimmyloverforever1]

best.song.ever. <3 but i have to say, Joey sings it so much more beautifully (:

[ViolaLullaby]

I like how Darren isn't even fazed about messing up; he just keeps smiling and carries on with the same enthusiasm :)

[GypsyVanner24]

@JessStarkidWalker

its not a Darren Criss performance if he doesnt froget tem xD

[elizze6]

I love the guitar part from 2:30 to 2:39

[NBBroxStar]

XD "I'm sorry if I screw up, I wasn't in the show.... I just wrote the music" =P

This is why I love Darren Criss so much!

He's REAL

[RockGirlz123]

@NBBroxStar i'm real .. do you love me? ... ya he is pretty awesome:P

[isingfashion]

lol "And then its intermission"

[bubblegumIS]

"april...30th.

i think."

he's so adorable.

[sacar96]

@JessStarkidWalker thats darren for ya!! :D :P he is the only person who can pull that off as being adorable :P

[DedicatedStarkid]

@jasonmarch1 sorry but I don't believe that the "true" fans are only people that know him for harry freakin potter....i found out who darren criss was through glee...but that led me to starkid and now im a huge fan of both...and a ginormous fan of darren. stop being so posessive over him and if you were a "true" fan than maybe you would be happy that he has so many fans that know him for someone other than just harry potter. we all love him equally and for the same reasons.

[jasonmarch1]

"dont blame me for not knowing it, i only wrote the music"

this is why you have the best fans darren

and the true fans dont typecast you as blaine they typecast you as harry freakin potter

its a shame youll probally never see this

[13opals]

@jasonmarch1 Hey, come on. Yes, I did find Darren through Starkid, but that's a little harsh. Now, because of him, I enjoy Glee. And is it good to even typecast him as anyone? We like him because he is a great singer/actor. Honestly, I started as a fan by watching his covers. There's nothing wrong with liking Blaine. 

[isingfashion]

@jasonmarch1 true fans call him Darren Criss, at least I do

[elizze6]

You know you've been watching too many Darren videos when you can sing along to this whole video and then say exactly what Darren says at the end at the same time as him

[nicholas4president]

lol funniest part 0:11 to 0:18 :)

[BossZefronPoster09]

Darren does an amazing job at this song, his voice is AMAZING, but I feel like Joey's live version is better. I just think that Joey puts so much more emotion in it, and it's sweet and soft, while Darren's is a little rougher. While it's not bad at all, I'm just more for the softer side of things. Although I think he was trying to remember the lyrics a little more than putting emotion into it xD

[geminiri2213]

@BossZefronPoster09 I think Joey also knows the character more, seeing as he plays the character. So it really sounds like Bug because, well, it is.

[PurpleandBlackPandas]

@BossZefronPoster09 Joey was in character. He was feeling the characters feelings, and therefore he put more emotion in it. Darren did write the some, though, so he should have some edge in it thats different. And I love your username.

[nerdfightersrox1113]

4 words oh my dead god

[xPixiRose137x]

This is made all the more supermegafoxyawesomehot when you think how he self-taught himself guitar, and he's this amazing at it. :3 <3

[starkidshani]

i think i just died

[madeleinelily0]

Darren Criss? CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR EVERYTHING <3

[Kailzkiddie]

I suprised he didn't break a gutair string during this song(:

~WANNABE STARKID~

[Naavento]

I Love it when he forgets the lyrics!!... "It didn't help at all it just confused me more!" hahaha <3

[catgiorgetti]

I am dying

[TanyaUchiha2]

Am I the only one who wishes that Darren had recorded a version of this and put it on the soundtrack as like a bonus track or something??!?

[sc1592]

where was this? (like, the webadress) and how did you find out about it?

[TheBestVideosEver333]

that moment when you miss someone you've never met, yea i get that feeling all the time, about that man right there...

[xpinkdinosaur]

sorry, draco accidently rolled over the dislike button X3

[Agility4lyf]

I love this song XD

... but i always forget its from starship! even though i know all the lyrics and sing along i still get suprised when it goes 'i am a starship range' :P but i still get suprised even when i sing that line :L

[mikkidixxi]

dont blame mem for not knowing it.. i only wrote the music =) lawl.

[HorseyBabe12]

I actually love this song beyond words. :D

Darren you are a supermegafoxyawesomehot GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[ksams83]

Oh. My. God. He is gorgeous and insanely talented. -3

DARREN, YOU ARE THE MICKEY TO MY MINNIE!

[PandoraRoman]

'I wasn't in the show, so don't blame me for not knowing, yeah I only wrote the music'

LOL gotta love Darren

[lala646]

@JessStarkidWalker That awkward moment when you remember the lyrics better than Daren....

[TheMalbinator2000]

@lala646 That awkward moment when you spell, "Darren" wrong....

[lala646]

@TheMalbinator2000 Yea I realized that...and it was a tad awkward.

[captainjonesify]

HERMAN STOP SHOVING YOU UNGAWDLY THUMB DOWN.



[anigleek]

i wanna learn how to play this on guitar so badly!! ITS AMAZING!

[watermelonlover98]

He is SO ADORABLE!

[ellieeemz123]

darren. you beast. i love you.
