"Not Alone" by Darren Criss ft. Charlene Kaye

[MeWantCookie51895]

dear Charlene and Darren,

PLEASE get married and have SEXY and TALENTED babies!

love, me, myself, and I

[1Lanavis1]

@MeWantCookie51895 I second this! Do it for humanity! We need more wonderfulness in our gene pool!

[TheStripedCrayon]

Watching this video and crying because I just saw him on Broadway 2 days ago. So proud

[JustJessaK]

Wow, this was a great night!!! Still cannot believe that I was there at this show a couple years ago and that he is opening on Broadway today!!! =) Good for you, Darren! You made it!

[TroutyPout]

Wow, this was uploaded in Feb of 2009... that's before AVPM... AVPS... Glee... before he was famous basically.

[crashtestkaren]

Darren and Charlene make magic with their voices.

[kikinsane]

I'm so marrying him someday.

[alice27891]

She kind of looks like an older Cho Chang...

[uglyfudge]

@alice27891 THAT'S Lavender Brown!

[owlette42]

@uglyfudge RACIST ALICE27891!

[kmb1023x]

gahh he is soooo sweaty <333333

[SpazMoor]

Charlene, sh!!! Darren is singing!!

[RockPwnsYou]

Darren Criss makes me question my sexuality...

[suppusan1]

um.....I adore charlene's voice and darren and her make an AMAZING duet in most songs. but in this one, i don't know, charlene's voice is too high for me to go with the song. Maybe I'm just too used to Jamie's voice singing this :/

[SaucyStudio]

these guys make a great duo

[joeyismydog123]

No offence to Charlene, but she is just spoiling Darren's song.

[hippiemarcher]

@joeyismydog123 No way! I love their voices together, I wish they had a full album together!

[rockerchik5]

i want him to sweat on me....in my BED! :)

[MissStarkidRichter]

@ilovekakes Amen. (:

[MissStarkidRichter]

0:47 Yessss zoooooom on Darren. You know you want to see that boy up close!

[14wongh2]

i love how everyone can tell it's not alone 3 seconds after he starts to play piano.

[bstwins19]

is it just me, or a. are his hands fucking sexy and b. is he actually HOT when he sweats?

[treehugger625]

how old is charlene?

[CrazyconfusedAmanda7]

Darren Criss is supermegafoxyawesomehot!

[MusicStealsMyHeart]

He is so totally attractive..and awesome...

[XxYuyiTahxX]

Can they just get married and have awesome child together. Please?

[HPwrocks]

@XxYuyiTahxX I have a feeling that many fangirls would be violently opposed to this idea because they think THEY should marry Darren and have his babies.

[MozesDackerman39]

Dnload the audio from this vid at searchripgrab doht cohm.

[BramblesD]

it was good but it was more held back than usual, i was waiting for the usual big finish that makes me catch my breath each time i hear hear it, but it never came :/ for this particular song i think its more a solo with band piece but still ok

[kirmitiskool2]

he can play: piano, guitar, violin, cello, mandolin, drums, harmonica and tamborine. TO A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL!

[Farronius]

@kirmitiskool2 Not to mention he can act, and writes his own songs :D

[bobbert20]

@kirmitiskool2 professional tamborine?... sounds intense

[CarryOnSUD]

@bobbert20 LOL that's the same thing I thought after reading it!

[CarryOnSUD]

@bobbert20 LOL that's the same thing I thought after reading it!

[cb45100]

@bobbert20 good tamborine playing actually takes some practicing! (surprising, right?)

[Razmatini]

@kirmitiskool2 Darren Criss: What the hell can't he do?

[kirmitiskool2]

@Razmatini Outdo RedVines? haha

[thisguyisaninja]

@kirmitiskool2 Sorry, but I just came buckets.

[ecogeek234]

@kirmitiskool2 and he self taught himself ALL of them

[kirmitiskool2]

the only guy who can make sweat and piano's sexy

[soccerxgirl38]

...darren's voice is like a combination of fergie and jesus XD what i would give to meet him...

[xKittenKissesx]

That's interesting. He performed this song before it was in AVPM. Kinda like how "Harry" was "Sami" originally in Little White Lie. Great job Darren, an amazing writer.

[kayandkaycorp13]

The only thing I don't like is the sound quality. But Darren Criss is AMAZING.

[ilovekakes]

I cannot express how much I love you, Darren. You're so freakin amazing, brilliant and totally awesome. Darren should be as popular as Justin Beaver. Darren's better than Justin, more talented and more hot. Sorry to all you Beliebers but I hate you.

[doughertyj2]

@ilovekakes so obviously more talented.. I like justin beiber and all but not even his biggest fans can says hes more talented than a real musician who writes his own songs and music.. and sings brilliantly

[draconite13]

can't get over how much I love this song!

ever since I first saw AVPM I've been obsessed with it!

Did you know he performed it at an event for the Trevor Project? with a freakin' choir!

:D

(ignore the spaces in the address... type it! ! the only way I could post it...)

[stephimartin]

i want them to record this so bad. i love his voice! or maybe just him, but his voice is pretty flippin fantastic too ;)

[DaisyAngelica89]

@stephimartin Hey, Darren has actually recorded this song as a solo. It's on his EP Human and A Very Starkid Albu :-)

[stephimartin]

@DaisyAngelica89 yeah i found it!! kinda wish he woulda included charlene though, they're voices sound so great together!

[maplelump]

I can't stop staring at his forearm muscles.../shallow

[nyhaitian0427]

2 people are alone.

[xxGrey]

This was missing all the dramatic silences and nuances that it needed :(

It was still completely and totally brilliant but it's just lacking in the original things.

[kfdcl]

"Oh my God, Darren! DARREN! AHH! Whoa! Wooo!"

[mandiracy]

@ryanguy7890 It's just since AVPM came out that I have also discovered Charlene. Back when I wrote the comment I didn't know about the EP. But I still think (the title of another of my fav DC songs. Lol) that Darren and Charlene should record the song together. I really like the way they sound together. Thanks for all your help and all the info, Ryan! :)

[mandiracy]

@ryanguy7890 Yeah I know all about AVPM. I've actually been a fan of Darren's for a few years (I have a friend that went to school in Ann Arbor and showed me video of him singing).

[AlexGaskarth23]

Oh gosh he's beautiful.

[ooshadygirloo]

AVPM came out summer '09 right? how long were the songs written before then?

[LisaasThoughts]

@ooshadygirloo about 2 weeks before :)

[WICKEDfan0503]

I FUCKIN LOVE DARREN CRISS...... IS IT BAD THAT IM STALKIN HIM?

[theMYCfamily]

the song and the band and darren are amazing but either the girl needs to sing more/by herself or SOMETHING bc she doesnt sound that well just that part.

[EmilyChesterton]

2 people are idiots!!

[chinghxd]

how can someone NOT like this?! 2 death eaters missed the like button!

i think what's most impressive about darren isn't necessarily about how "unique" his voice may be [although it is haha], i think it's more to do with how expressive and soulful he is when he sings. that's the final touch with every instrument. and he has that perfect; to a T.

<3. darren!

[xBBFx]

Beautiful voices and beautiful people! Come to boca raton fl pls! We hav an awesome beach and a huge fan base!!!!

[LoserLizzy]

I really wish I could learn this on the piano. It's just one of those really great songs that makes a person want to be a musician.

[twilight0sylum0forme]

marry me? or my sister? as long as i can say i'm related to you.

[SingingAngel32]

he....is....perfection.<3

[artistarw]

he's even hotter from the side! hahaha lol

[superramac]

Darren, we're getting married. You may not know it, and it may be illegal (thanks to my parents accidentally making me a couple of years late) but it'll work.

Jokes. But seriously? Please, please, please come to TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA.

Kay thanks :)

[shankatherine]

darren should probably marry me.

[XPURPLElemonadex]

StarKid needs to get their asses over the pond to England. We are fans too! xD

[chanlulz]

@XPURPLElemonadex

*hugs Starkid* No! We don't wanna share! lol

[jaydiccaa]

@XPURPLElemonadex forget england! what about AUSTRALIA <3

[Mu5icIcy]

@XPURPLElemonadex so right!!! hahaha id let them all camp at mine if they had to!! hahah

[XPURPLElemonadex]

@Mu5icIcy Totally agree! It'd be a tight squeeze, but I'm sure we could all manage ;)

[Mu5icIcy]

@XPURPLElemonadex yeah i'd have to make a mini camp site in my garden!! haha good thing i have a 6 man tent tho i don't know bout the others?? :S haha oo also doya know were i can get any red vines?? im having a starkidpotter party soon and they're a must have!! xx

[XPURPLElemonadex]

@Mu5icIcy That party is gonna be totally awesome. Hmm... You could try buying them online with a site like AmericanSweets?

Its a tad bit dear for sweets, but the'ye red vines. So its worth it.

But I remember eating some that looked like red vines, but weren't red vines. I suppose you could just have a nosy round some sweet shops and see what you find. :)

Good luck! x

[Mu5icIcy]

@XPURPLElemonadex haha were havin a propa starkid convosation here hahaha well ive got blue sweatbands, red eye liner (for hp scars), permanent markers (for permanent homemade darkmards!!) nd otheras cwl stuff but i need red vines to make the party complete!! :))

[XPURPLElemonadex]

@Mu5icIcy Haha I know! It sounds like a blast, you've inspired me! None of my friends even like HP let alone StarKid! :'O

Red Vines would indeed make the party. Find some, QUICK!

[Mu5icIcy]

@XPURPLElemonadex my friends havent even seen anything 2 do with starkid so the party is basicly gonna be watchin, listining, dancing, singing and prob. breathing starkidpotter!! hahaha xx

[LadyOfMalfoy]

@Mu5icIcy Oh My God i wish i could celebrate parties like that but none of my friends like Harryy Potter, let alone Starkid!!!!! Itll probably be amazingg!!!

[Mu5icIcy]

@LadyOfMalfoy dont like harry potter? sorry for the delay of replying but please! DONT LIKE HARRY POTTER?? your coming with me to see it next friday!! so exited!!

[LadyOfMalfoy]

@Mu5icIcy Sorry for my late reply as well ;) haha NO! THEY DON'T i feel like a stranger in my group..... no one understands ;)

[waggy818]

[MultiMangoChutney]

I. Love. Darren. Criss.

[silly7lilly]

Darren Criss is phenomenal! If it weren't creepy, I would marry him. XD

[GrangerGirl2]

he sings, he acts, he plays guitar & piano, he writes songs, AND he dances? he's too good to be true

[AracniTheWeaver]

I think Darren Criss is the only guy that I've ever seen actually get more attractive the more instruments he plays. How is this so?

[layla14]

@AracniTheWeaver I agree!

[kaittybee]

@AracniTheWeaver magic ;)

[AracniTheWeaver]

@kaittybee Of course! Why didn't I think of that before?!?!

[livbug08]

@AracniTheWeaver the killer sexy voice is the best instrument ;)

[jesssssiiiii]

haahaaaaa i think im part of those 50 girls. be afraid.

[moonshade20]

DOES

WANT

[Ikumew]

Darren + Charlene = dream team

[becca2396]

@lauraxlolly Don't worry I've been internet stalking him for the past year... Or two *shifty eyes* xD

He's just too awesome not to stalk, I just really, really wanna touch his hair... So badly.

[kiwiberry101195]

haha it kind of looks like another arm is protruding from charlene kaye that's playing the guitar or bass (i can't see which it is)

[maddynguyen]

OMG he plays the piano, the guitar, and sings! <swoon>

[yvol]

Er... Like... he can play the piano too?????? <3

[Dracomalfoychat]

so darren i thought i wanted you forever and then i found someone more my age who drums and looks exactly like you but hes really weird so i am though so were perfect... sorry lover

[SlashPrincessen]

I'm sorry, but his ass is awesome :DDD

[kis10roxloud]

@lauraxlolly I'm sure everyone is internet stalking Criss since they first watched AVPM. He quite possibly even made some straight guys gay.

[Rosethorn57]

OMG!!!!!! HE'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[kattyc]

Mmm, sexy forearm. All those guitar and piano muscles.

[thecortni]

Nice arse!

[IAtelt]

OMFG he plays piano too? Is there anything about this guy that ISN'T perfect!? *drools*

[AliciaMD13]

i want to touch his jew fro (:

[Voldie4]

The girl kind of kills it...but I love Darren.

[dtigergirl2010]

omg he plays piano too??????

i love him like 10 times more now.

this wasmy fav song from AVPM

[kirmitiskool2]

@dtigergirl2010 and violin!

[RainingOnYourParade7]

@dtigergirl2010 he plays the violin and the cello too apparently. omfgq898yhG7gub90(*Y&rmegafoxy­awesomehot

[mudbloodandproud25]

no, I'm marrying him. he's my soulmate.

[bellebethany]

no i am marrying him

[Rhodeislandisboring]

I will, one day, marry Darren Criss.

[DreamStreet2HPBabe17]

lol

[angelusdecielo]

DARREN ROCKS!

[wingssoaringhigh]

i loved this song.. :)

[mandiracy]

Darren and friends definitely need to consider recording this song professionally. It's a classic, I would highly consider playing this at a wedding.

[ediercks]

@mandiracy That is a great idea!

[TheVergile]

he has, hasnt he?

There is an awesome studio-version of this song.

(I mean the one, where darren sings all the parts)

[ryanguy7890]

@mandiracy He's got an EP on itunes with this song on there. Just search his name on the itunes store. It's just him though, not the duet. I bought the EP a few days ago and I'm loving it. He's my new favorite.

[ryanguy7890]

@mandiracy On top of it being on his EP on itunes, this was actually performed in A Very Potter Musical which is how he got popular in the first place /watch?v=1n_2uL2YjN8&feature=c­hannel and here's a cool acoustic version of it from the cast. watch?v=7GCYTSqepXw&feature=re­lated

[3BrokenAngel3]

@mandiracy its on itunes. just look up darren criss

[angelzpoo]

@3BrokenAngel3 do you know where to get sheet music? you just seemed informed so i thought i'd ask.

[RobinaFerd]

Holy mother fuck is tha bassist awesome

[coooldude848]

is there anyway you can download this song?

It isn't on itunes >.>

[arijanian]

@coooldude848

It's available for free on the Team Starkid website! (Google it!)

[melissamarie173]

I'm pretty sure I just fell in love with him...

[LyssiLady]

Their voices sound beautiful together.

And I am not sure why all you girls are obsessing over my future hubby. :) You're not his type..:P

[anthonygath86]

HA! Look at all the thubs down! What twats!

[LyssiLady]

:S ...

[xojaiserxo]

DARREN ILY!

[HermioneWazlib91]

...was she Lavender in AVPM?

[RawkStarxx]

you don't have to belt songs out of the water for them to have an impact. darren's voice deffo proves that. :D

[halestar88]

i love this song so much.

his songs could really do well... i mean, it's good! seriously! guhh!!!

love darren. :D

[LisbryIsMe]

Speechless, too amazing for words. Only wish the sound quality was better.

[flytreehuggers]

well, didnt he write all of the music? or most of it?

hes amazing (:

[marsees]

Dear sweet mother of all that is Darren Criss...

[silverstreak999]

[pythonfan001]

theres an entire discussion on the starkid facebook page about who thinks darren is their soulmate

[InAShallowGrave]

I saw that! LOL! Its more like 1000+

[ilikchoklitmeelk]

@silverstreak999 more like 5,000... darren you better watch a heck of a lot more than your back :P

[forevgirl117]

[fireboltflier]

[moonshade20]

[One1time1user1]

[Latinaxxgurl]

Omg, I love him!!! There is a such thing as the perfect guy, that`s him!! He is so hot and talented!!

[AVPMisTotallyAwesome]

whos' Charlene Kaye? and where did they meet?

[eventingislife15]

Charlene Kaye is a fantastic musician in her own right in Ann Arbor. Presumably, they met at UMich. Her songs are really, really good, though - you should check them out!

[MissionObsessable23]

Good lord... He plays the piano. I'm in love. Edward's got nothing to Darren!

[marine10021992]

OMG! I love that song so much... but I prefer with Ginny, Ron and Hermione...
