Darren Criss of Glee and Disney Legend Lea Salonga Medley

[Betanianne]

Santa Fe.... <3 <3 <3

[AyNay246]

When he breaks out Mean Green Motha' from Outer Space... Oh Darren. :)

[CharlotteRoseOG]

If there is anyone more awesome than he, then let them speak now :D ...Silence? Thought so! xx

[Snkcc5]

Thumbs up if you think Disney should make a new movie and have Alan menken write the music with Darren Criss as the lead vocalist

[RemusFreakinLupin]

He finally got to sing Disney tunes with a Disney legend. Good for you, Darren.

[yummiestbiscuit]

Alan Menken's reaction to Lea Salonga was like : OMG WHAT THE ?

[TotallyCaesar]

Hey, Darren,

How many girls' hearts can one bastard hold?

[thatpenguingirl]

@TotallyCaesar All of them, apparently.

[marymakesmusic]

sante fe, oh dear god

[KindaCoolKia]

This is Awesome!! =)

[mariaib]

DARREN CRISS FOR THE NEXT DISNEY PRINCE!!!!

[Jaylecialee]

OMG I never knew that all those Disney movies were scored by the same man. He is my new favorite person.

[anitajay01]

@DreamStreet2HPBabe17 oh okay, I have never seen that before.

I think I had better go and watch that :D thank you

[kaorimarie]

I'm proud of Darren making it on glee because it gives him opportunities like this, but I miss when it was just the StarKids

[amaendo]

.. MY CRYES REALLY YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ME.. I WATCHED DARREN IN 2007 WITH PART OF YOUR WORLD.. AND NOW HE IS WITH ALAN MENKEN.. I AM SO PROUD OF HIM I CANT HOLD THE TEARS

[ohmydietwayferers]

<3.

[anitajay01]

what is the song @2:19 it sounds really awesome :)

[DreamStreet2HPBabe17]

@anitajay01 It's from Little Shop of Horrors.

[redrosegal22]

He is just too perfect. How can Darren just do something like this? He's so perfect!

[ztslovebird]

lol, Alan Menken is now the ultimate lucky bastard!

[SingingGirl1937]

I am overcome with jealousy of Lea Salong, Disney princess voice, working with Alan, and Darren. Her life is wonderful.

[Xmenfan246]

Thumbs up if you want Lea Salonga to play Darren Criss' mom on Glee. =)

[RitaProductions94]

Thank you so much for uploading this!

Darren, how can you keep getting more perfect?

[yajgurl25]

I so love Lea's vibrato!!!



[sofiaaa987]

lyrics please please please!

[90939smiles]

That was amazing. "How many Oscar's can one bastard hold?!" LOL.

[vulliike]

i love this. I'm from Austria but i love the english disney movies much more than the german ones.

[antonvanlee1]

gawd! 

[raindancer805]

oh. my. god. Darren and Lea singing "A Whole New World"...I just cannot process how much Iove this.

[suhoon13]

i thought they wouldn't pull through. the end = sigh

AWESOME!

[lilygrimm128]

2:39 DARREN CRISS IS SINGING NEWSIES. I THINK THIS IS WHAT DYING FEELS LIKE.

[blazingstar97]

The fact that he did the lesser-known songs Mean Green Mother and Santa Fe just makes my fangirl heart burst with love and proud mama feelings.

[saussia]

I would really be great to have Lea as Darren's mom in GLEE. :)

[pinanogrl91]

man I love Darren. I love Lea too. Both of them are lovely. <3

[johnroub]

lea's voice is always crystal clear

[daFranOs]

This is awesome. So awesome. So freakin' totally awesome

[JackieBorelli]

oh my god, if I ever get to meet Darren or Lea, I'd "take my lumps" first, lol!! I love them both so much. =D

and Alan Menken is such a legend.

[DokiDokiDelu]

Okay, I was excited about Disney but OHMYGOSH DARREN SINGING LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. My life is complete

[lalalyricsforyou]

but how did he remember all of the words.

[daFranOs]

@lalalyricsforyou I was thinking the same thing!!!!

[NEHOMAS2]

@lalalyricsforyou I think the fact that it's Disney and he has a life-long love for the material, that probably helps! Hehe, but you're right: remembering lyrics isn't his strongest point, bless him!

[sofiaaa987]

@lalalyricsforyou but he usually only forgets lyrics of his own songs:D

[TheNeeecole66]

@lalalyricsforyou it was bound to happen eventually.

[Ministf]

@lalalyricsforyou it's beacuse diney is his first love, you never forget your first love ;)

[kaorimarie]

@lalalyricsforyou he was probably making half of it up as he went.... It's the only reasonable explanation....That, or Rumbleroar was whispering it to him from under an invisibility cloak.

[myangleofmusic09]

Damn darren you are full of surprises

[razzledazzle41191]

I cannot help but feel extraordinary levels of Proud Mama Feelings whenever I see Darren achieve his dreams, and for him to not only meet one of his idols but to play for him is so special. He deserves everything and more, and it's beautiful to see this happen for him.

[chandrafoblover]

I am in love with this man, I just...Darren. Stay Awesome lol

[augustine73]

Lea & Darren should record this. Surely it will be #1 in iTunes.

[ihammy12]

I just came.

[mayerlinne]

Amazing!!!! After that, I'm sure we will soon see Darren singing in a Disney movie.

[jovanddavid]

There goes my heart... *sigh*

[TheHiguy1234]

Darren's still that guy who's playing the guitar when everyone wants to hang out! I miss his Disney covers, Ryan Murphy needs to give him some.

[bookwizard7]

yep... Darren Criss needs to voice the next Disney musical.

[TheGleekoftheWeek]

Oh. My. GAHHHHH. My two favourite people in the world? ____ flatline____ I'm dead... X

[parafreakx8]

Things like this remind of how talented Darren Criss really is.

[megsapeanuth8ter]

Oh my god. Darren...<3 Nice new lyrics...:)

[2yonna100]

for christmas i want darren criss in a bright shirt with high waters on and glasses Santa please ill share

[ameygirl323]

"how many oscars can one bastard hold?" haha funny... aww this vid is very kute ! less than three :'D

[fairiesinspace]

I love you so much. I only wish you knew how much hope you give to people.

[siobhantreacy]

Dear Jesus. I love love love him.

[macharmza]

Disney would be stupid not to snatch him up and have him write and sing a few songs for their company

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

OMG! This is absolutely amazing :)

[Manyissues101]

I love it when she says, "Hi, Alan!" So cute.

[shamidkpzd]

I'm not crying. It's just raining on my face for some reason.

[25butterbeers]

Thanks mr tall for standing up during the Alan/Darren hug. :D

[connster9700]

Darren. Lea Salonga. Disney medley. What more could you ask for? This made my day! :)

[weeboman]

Our baby made it.

[MsKenzieJ]

I honestly couldn't help but squeal. <3 Such a proud Starkid, Dare!

[mariale2892]

I'm so happy for darren, i'm sure singing with Lea Salonga for Alan Menken is something he never thought could happened and look at him now =)

[RockGirlz123]

can i have one of you?

[monkeysxplaybills]

But Darren's singing Little Shop. And Newsies. And Disney. With Lea Salonga. Sorry, I'm typing this from my grave.

[PSiEnjoyAcidPops]

Love the bowing at the end, Darren

[katieo970]

If they ever do a remake of Alladin, Darren needs to be Alladin.

[Cinnamon280]

When Darren sings "I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far" I realized how true this is. He came from singing Disney songs in coffee shops to singing for the Disney composer. I'm so proud of him!

[MrsScorpionette]

O.o just...wow. Beautiful voice, passion for music and original + Disney songs. I believe in his voice when he says that "Dreams do come true" ^_*

[katieo970]

Darren could do the book, write the songs and star in a disney movie. It would be the best disney movie ever!

[stephlem89]

@katieo970 See I think Darren and Chris Colfer need to team up on a Disney movie, with Chris writing the book and Darren doing the music :D I mean I totally wouldn't put it past Darren to be a great script writer too because honestly, what can't he do? haha. BUT I just love Chris's humor and feel like Chris's script writing ability and Darren's composing ability would be the perfect combo for one kick ass Disney movie ^_^

[katieo970]

@stephlem89 Never thought of that. That would be an epic disney movie! I want this to happen now :) I'll get the Starkid fandom working on it lol :p

[AyNay246]

Really, people? Lea Salonga on Glee? Why? Just... why.

[ghostwhispererx]

"HOW MANY OSCARS CAN ONE BASTARD HOLD?"

[stephlem89]

Can I just say that what makes this even more special, to me, is that Darren really is a young Alan Menken in the making :') He's going to be that next composer who takes up the torch for composing beautiful, beautiful music for movies and Broadway shows and winning allll kinds of awards for it and just.. it gives me chills thinking about it while listening to this :D

[jochua0710]

Now on Glee, on TV

Don’t know how long I’ll get my screen time

But there is one thing in the meantime I can say

I don’t know how long … will last

But I think you’ll be okay

Dreams come true

Yes they do

When you’re Alan Menken

I didn't quite catch everything but that's the main gist of it all and the rest is just A Whole New World in its entirety.

[QChii]

@jochua0710 I think he says "I don't know how long my career will last" (:

[jochua0710]

I'm just a mean green mother from outer space And I'm bad. I'm just a mean green mother from outer space And it looks like you been had. I'm just a mean green mother from outer space, So get off my back, 'n get out my face, 'Cause I'm mean and green And I'm free Like the wind Like I'm gonna live forever It's a feeling time can never take away! All I need's a few more dollars And I'm outta here to stay Dreams come true Yes they do In Santa Fe

[ghostwhispererx]

Darren Criss is perfect.

[jochua0710]

And out there living in the sun Give me one day out there All I ask is one to hold forever Out there where they all live unaware What I'd give, what I'd dare Just to live one day out there I will find my way I can go the distance I'll be there some day If I can be strong I know every mile Will be worth my while I will go most anywhere To feel like I belong

[jochua0710]

Just look at this room Youngest to old Thinking how many Oscars can one bastard hold Looking around here you think Sure he’s got everything He’s got verses and bridges aplenty He’s got … and motifs galore Want an original song for your movie He’ll write twenty But who cares, no big deal He’s got more (There’s a few of those) That we can explore

[jochua0710]

Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Alan Looking so down in the dumps Every guy here'd love to be you, Alan Especially when cashing in on your lumps of Walter checks There's no man in town who’s as admired as you You're everyone's favorite guy Everybody’s awed and inspired by you And it's not very hard to see why Just look at your songs Aren’t they neat Wouldn’t you think your collection’s complete Wouldn’t you think you’re the guy The guy who has everything

[HarrylovesGinny]

He did a song from Newsies! AH! I LOVE that movie! ha ha Darren is AMAZING!

[heymissmaggie]

I can't....omg 

[arwyn89]

Just! Such awesomeness! Thanks so much for this!!

[xxminishaxx]

crying

[ElodieK]

SO proud of Darren. :)

[AmyTVchannel]

This is just beautiful, I could listen to it all day. Darren deserves everything he's got, he's grown so much over the years, and I couldn't possible be any more proud of him.

Oh and 2 dislikes?! THANKS HERMIONE!

[iSayiSaid]

and then he pulled Newsies in there and I lost my shit. Oh my god. Oh MY god.

[mikmarilynmusika]

BEAUTIFUL!!!! :)

[MissSallyOaks]

Sometimes dreams do come true... and Darren absolutely deserves it! I’m so proud and happy for him!

[XxPassionStarxX]

OVARIES = EXPLODED

[augustine73]

Darren is so nice. He even went to Lea Salonga show in LA after this Bullboard event.

[crossanjen]

Is that Robert Ulrich (Glee Casting Director) in the black and white checked shirt?

On another note, this video just made my life.

[ooshadygirloo]

I'm in a hospital bed and feeling crappy, this brought a huge smile to my face, especially Darren's jokes. Thank you!

[littlecat0908]

Does someone got the lyrics? I think a lot of us would be really thankful!

[littlecat0908]

His singing improved! I'm so proud of our little hobbit.

[jennisariot]

I'd love to write something wonderful and meaningful but i can't see through my tears.

[MidnightPixie713]

LOVE it! if there is anything better than disney songs, its a medly :)

i am pretty sure someone has already done this, but can someone list all the songs he sings? in order preferably :)

[aenns1987]

My life now feels complete!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aidaa92]

This is beautiful, and perfect, and organic! I cried! I am so, SO happy for him! <3 :'D

[OKDeSign]

omg when Lea came, i almost cried. im so proud of Darren...really! that's just amazing D:

thank you so much for that video!

[JoyTheUnipire]

I can't even begin to express how much pride and happiness I feel for Darren, I still remember the first time I came across his cover of Part of Your World that he recorded in his dorm room, and now he's singing with Jasmine herself for Alan Menken.

I really shouldn't have watched this right before going to school because it is raining so hard on my face ;_____;

[PigfartsNdRumbleroar]

One dislike thanks Herman!

[AmyCriss77]

Thank you for filming this! I'm just so happy for him!

[abrenm]

thumbs up if u want to watch Aladdin all over again.. =)

[ChocolatePieSuus]

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading! I wish I could see both Alan's and Darren's faces.. (not criticism, just a statement!) Darren must have been over the freakin' moon! :D Anyway, thanks again. The sound quality is perfect! <3

[Belx2]

I'm in a roller coaster of emotions. I may not be acquainted w/ Darren but seriously I am so effin' proud of him right now. Watching him develop from posting YT videos of his Disney covers years ago & now he's singing in front of one of the legendary scorers of Disney animation - it's amazing; he's amazing.

[floorietjuh]

Awesomeee:D! Thanks for filming and uploading!! They sing amazing together:)!

[ferunk]

This completely made my day/week/year. Now for Glee to do a Disney-themed episode!

[stagemanager28]

You know that after this was done, he went in to the bathroom and cried a little bit. Anyways. If Lea Michele can be the voice of the next Disney Princess, Darren can sure as hell be the next Disney Prince.

[iamrumbleroar]

Just when I thought I couldn't love Darren even more, he goes and does this...

[nathachlo2]

I'd love me the lyrics 'cause I don't get everything he sings... #french

[PuckleberryFaberry]

omg Lea Salonga...Just...oh my goooood....and darren...oh darren <3 <3

[ovitatirac]

Lea and Darren really adore each other you can just feel it.

[HarrietPotterkid]

Too much perfection for one room to handle.

[Shivani912]

All my dreams just came true <3

[kgavin2]

So, Darren can be my Aladdin whenever he wants.

[tinkharvey]

creys all over the place.

[EleanorRose147]

So for Christmas I would like Lea Salonga in Glee and Darren Criss in a Disney movie. Thanks.

[augustine73]

Please let there be Lea Salonga in Glee!

[riajochico]

#proudpinoy :") lea has the most amazing voice, especially when you get to hear her live. darren. darren. darren. i jjust love him. i don't know if it's still legal :/ 2 seconds into the video i screeched for some reason i could not explain =/ <3

[luvjpfe]

This is so awesome! Got to love Darren and his beautiful voice, so happy for him.

[danigurl8192]

Ah! This is so terrific. I'm in public trying not to cry but that was so beautiful! And so exciting for Darren!!! I can't even imagine what that must feel like for him. Wow. I'm just so happy he's made it where he has and yes. He needs to be a Disney prince. It has to happen at some point in his career. I can't think of someone more deserving. Eeeee! I'm just so smilie right now.

[pinkpaws125]

[MissDaisyRye]

@ToeeLewis That was the one that got me to XD I love Hercules with a passion, and for Darren to include it in his little mash up of Alan Menken songs really got to me *sniff sniff* so beautiful :')

[15runninondunkin]

this is absolutely amazing. darren is singing right in front of his idols, and even with one of them. it just shows that in darren's words, we're not alone. he's a little fanboy too. and its so awesome to hear him sing :) can't wait to see im in how to succeed, he's just amazing.

[2GuitarChick4]

[alwaysnforever02]

I am seriously crying right now...Darren's childhood dream came true. He's made it and I'm witnessing a dream come true right now. I'm so proud of Darren.

[cjmahal128]

my two favorite musicians creating beautiful music together, singing my favorite Disney song, for the man who created ALL the great Disney songs.. dreams do come true and Lea Salonga needs to play Darren Criss's mom on Glee already!

[AshleyMegan130]

What are these things coming from my eyes?

Darren, I'm happy for you :) There's so much beautiful in this video.

[sofiaaa987]

Could someone be so unbelievably kind and post the lyrics of this somewhere? I'm having a heard time hearing what he says because I'm not English so it would be awesome to have the words:)

[mkasadate]

I would have probably peed in my pants if I was there watching him sing this song...

[AngelicMouseGirl]

Oh my god, I may possibly never stop crying.

So much amazing in one video!

[Irielilla]

I love you, person who uploaded this video! Thank you so much!

[stephlem89]

Every single thing about this whole thing = PERFECTION *___* <33

[TheBetopogi]

Oh my gosh... that was amazing!!! Loved the rendition of a whole new world with Darren and Lea. Alan Menken was so surprised to see Lea Salonga.... so heartwarming.

[abbielitten]

He's singing Disney. For Alan Menken. WIth Lea Salonga. Wow.
