[jbshinyfuzzy]

[Musicislife97123]

Darren Criss you are the most beautiful singer. Cried at this. I cried.

[littlemusican2010]

[DocwhoRose4ever]

Did anyone else get the feeling that newsies should open on broadway and Darren should play jack Kelly?

[christyrusk]

@DocwhoRose4ever Gosh, it's just so bad that Darren's on Glee now XP!!!

[dancer4life077]

Darren and Lea just a little bit of epic!

[shiadee1]

darren sing a whole new world??? then i will be princess jasmine...

[rayningstars]

Um....Darren does not compare to Lea. At all.

[nessiejinjah]

Leave it to Darren to make me cry like a waterfall and then LMFAO at "hey buddy!!"

[EmilyIncorperated]

Does anyone know which songs he uses? There's a few I can't name.

[gleegirlkim]

Best video ever

[xodancerr11]

the fact that Aladdin made Darren want to become an actor and here he's singing with the woman who was the singing voice of Jasmine is too much for me to handle.

[chaerisarang]

"A whole new world...HI ALAN!"

[zailopez08]

[havefunwithgames]

[superfangirl7]

Most people would say they wish they were Lea, but in this situation, I'm DYING to be Darren!!!!

[zidaneillidan]

Filipinos, though. :D

[imawakeareyou]

serenading your hero...and doing it so well..ohmygod

[90sMissy]

@jomarantolinbuy But he did a pretty decent job with the Westside Story songs on Glee. And he'll be on Broadway for 3 weeks on January! I'm sure he could find a way to step up to the plate.

[MusicManAJM]

If anyone ever asks why I love Darren Criss, I will simply show them this video.

[StacyandRiley]

I think the best part is when Alam Menkin takes out his phone and starts recording Darren Criss. I guess even he knows that Darren Criss is TOTALLY AWESOME!

[StarkidMaddy92]

You're tall and funny and pretty, you're really really skinny, Alan. ....

[supermedafighter]

i laughed alittle when lea came on and was like hi allen! it's weird i was listening to some disney songs and i noticed someone commenting on darren singing disney songs which made me curious and type him into the search engine which led me to this vid lol

[lilmaddieme]

He's such a goof. It makes him a great performer.

[dance101021]

Darren NEEDS to be the next prince charming for disney. hes just so supermegafoxyawesomehot!

[TheJonasSister939]

This is amazing. Two of my most favourite people.

[dangerjonasluv20]

[kutegurl67]

I knew it! Darren Criss IS Aladdin in an alternate universe! :D

[Joypiratesings]

@kutegurl67 Aladdin? You mean Eric right? XD

[kutegurl67]

Wait- lemme get this straight: my eternal love/role model singing with Princess Jasmine herself AND serenading the king of Disney composers?! This can't be real, but it IS and it's SO GLORIOUS!!!

[megannen]

"HAI ALAN"

Bahaha, oh Lea Salonga.

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

You know you're famous when you get to perform for Alan Menken.

[jhulia2514]

DARREN SINGING NEWSIES ( well, a cover/spoof)??????!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH just when I didnt think it was possible for me to love this guy any more....

[VideoStardom]

Who else cried during the Dreams Come True part?

[mockingjay101]

that guy laughing... he was laughing because what you said was outrageous. your career will last forever. 3:43

[sarahnicole32]

... and I believe we just found Mama Anderson

[nancysme12345]

"a guy from a little tv show called glee and lea salonga, international recording star you know, who sung some of your award winning academy performances"

WHAT AN INTRODUCTION.

[MsKenzieJ]

alaaaaan meeeeeeeeeeeee-nken.  hahahahah <3

[gbrumm1]

thats alright darren. i didnt need my ovaries.

[StorybookDisneyDoll]

I deeply admire Darren. Just look at the scope of the songs he chose to perform in commemoration of Alan's work- people often forget that, although most famous for Disney's animated classics, Menken is also a lauded composer on broadway and in the live action film industry as well. Darren is a true fan of Menken and a brilliant musician who worked hard to do this composer justice, and it shows. And Lea, is, of course, brilliant as ever. <3

[crazychubba]

Fking A....if i ever get reincarnated into somebody..I want to be reincarnated into Darren Criss...damn that talented guy!

[HOusEoFsiERRa]

Darren Criss, my future hubby, and Lea Salonga, my childhood idol, in one room! ^_^

[RavynLuna1113]

@HOusEoFsiERRa I know, right? I'm having a Darren Criss obsession night and so I'm browsing YouTube for new Darren vids and I find this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! Lea Salonga is my favorite female singer and Darren Criss is my....errr....mine, in my dreams and stuff....so....yeah.

:D

[HugglepuffOboeGirl]

oh darren and your beautiful singing perfection...

[RockMyStripySocks]

Darren is the only person who could hug Alan Menken and go 'hey buddy' as if they are the best of friends.

[justajumpingypsygirl]

this just brightened my day

[StephMarie95]

Darren needs to be the voice actor for the next disney animated film. he'd be the best prince ever

[gaft24]

@StephMarie95 Darren needs to be the LYRICIST for the next Disney animated film. Would you imagine what glorious songs would we get with him and Alan????....

[Joypiratesings]

@StephMarie95 Haha, see what I'm hope is gonna happen, is that Alan Menken is going to be so touched by Darren serenading him, that he'll compose a whole movie's worth of songs for Darren.

A girl can dream right?

[conversecolors13]

@StephMarie95 he'd have the sexiest voice for a disney prince! and i bet even people over the age 7 would go to the theaters to see it XD

[catanegranza]

@StephMarie95 can't wait for that!

[crispycremeswissmiss]

darren is the cutest thing ever to be on this planet <3

[mfoof01]

The coolest moment of this was seeing Alan's reaction to Lea's appearance.

[rachlovesmoony]

How did Darren's head not explode after this? Alan Menken AND Lea Salonga? My head would've exploded.

[doctorwhofangirl22]

I just. . .I shouldn't watch Darren Criss. I literally just stopped breathing for 7 minutes. Feeling like a knob.

[mechaguess]

Nice editing job, btw :)

[mechaguess]

Oh my god, how did Darren Criss not freak out? How is he so calm and collected?

[mockingjay101]

i like the part from 0:00 to 7:03 its the best part ;)

[yummiestbiscuit]

Oh god, I love Alan , Darren and Lea. It's like, amazing to see my childhood idols and my current idol together. :) It's magical, and the medley is all aiufhiuhfpuahsfianha

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

OMG! I love this oh so much<3

[sydandoreo]

[starkidislife]

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED?

[animefreak1015]

Congrats Darren you have now made an impression on Alan Menken ahahahahahaha. See you in a disney movie man!

[greenqueenjp]

Myheartjustexplodedicantbreath­eohmygod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrazyxVoice]

[TheNeena06]

See the Dislike bar? Yea me neither.

[EternallyConfuzled]

I had a big stupid grin on my face until he started singing 'A Whole New World'. After that I was on the floor from swoon overdose.

[nessaacosta]

[DarrenCrissLvr]

@nessaacosta hes half filipino half irish actually :) i love pointin that out coz im irish lol

[draco12rolls]

[ObsessiveDCdissorder]

Can someone please tell me the songs coz my headphones are crap and I can't hear propally? I got 'part of your world', 'go the distance', 'colours of the wind' and 'a whole new world'.

I was kinda annoyed coz if I ever met darren then I wanted to sing a disney song and I spent a long time finding the perfect one coz darren and I both love Aladdin and they just ruined it by singing a whole new world! GRRRRRR!!

[bookworm2445]

@MissLucyLeech Thanks for making my life with you're comment.

[mushergirl]

So I need a full cover of Out There and Colors of the Wind now.

[itsnotaboutperfect]

[mariolawpanda]

Amazing, and more amazing that he sang with Lea Salonga!
