Darren Criss--Go the Distance (Cover)

[jessssss624]

who the hell would talk while a god is standing on stage singing?

[mariaib]

darren you went so far from the distance that you can't even see the distance, the distance is a dot to you!

[ilovecoldplay32094]

OMG <3

[madisoncaitlyn7]

can glee please make a disney covers episode?!?!?!

[mariaib]

@madisoncaitlyn7 yeeah and just let darren sing ALL the songs!!

[psychotsunade]

This cover breaks my heart because he puts so much emotion into his performance.

[XxXxPollyJanexXxX]

The people in the background are crazy!!! I would never even blink while listening DC singing!!!!

[Auggi22]

Absolutely NOBODY speaks when serenaded by a god! If he was Zeus, they'd be dead.

[SpringNicht8]

What kind of lame public was that!? This is the part where you're supposed to ROAR IN CHEERS LIKE A BUNCH OF RABID MONKEYS CRAWLING IN THE DIRT IN FRONT OF DARRENS BEAUTY AND TALENT!!!

Yay :D

[rockerchick112211]

Ugly, ugly sobs.

Good job, Darren. We're all super proud of you and all you've done. Keep going the distance and most of all; stay happy, stay you.

[oneninja8]

He really has gone the distance, hasn't he? Okay, crying now.

[lilkasper123]

OMG! I'm watching this as I just watched Darren's goodbye speech from H2$ and I'm crying like a little girl... :O

[jessziax]

#ProudofDarren

[lenarain108]

I'm not crying I swear.

Not only is this my favorite disney song, and he is one of my favorite people, but he really has gone the distance.

I live in new york and its really hard for me to live with the fact that I am not going to see him on broadway, living out his dream. (though I did see daniel radcliffe in H2$)

[iloveronforever614]

He went the distance. I was so proud of Darren when he got to H2$. This boy started on youtube & gained popularity for him impeccable talent. We love you Darren!!!

- Your Starkids. :)

[hypofreak497]

This song makes me happy.

[whitelily0093]

My doctor recently ordered me to stop listening to and watching Darren Criss IMMEDIATELY because apparently having your ovaries expload from such excitement over and over again is "harmful to my health".

My response?

Knocked him unconcious, grabbed my laptop, and ran.

[pinkopalrose]

@whitelily0093 that was you?

[mimy36lovesu]

Now he went the distance and is taking over Broadway *sob*

[whitelily0093]

@mimy36lovesu Don't forget about his upcoming role in the movie 'Imogene'!!!

He's come so far and practically has the world at his feet and I'm just so proud of our boy and I can't wait to see what the future holds for him!!! <3

Which reminds me- I'd LOVE to hear him sing "Proud of Your Boy" from 'Aladdin'! X3

[mimy36lovesu]

@whitelily0093 I could never forget about this!

I'm beyond proud of him!

[whitelily0093]

@mimy36lovesu IKR!!!! X3

*proud mama highfive*

[mimy36lovesu]

@whitelily0093 *highfives you right back*

[GabbyDC08]

wtf? why was that applause so scarce? that was darren freakin criss!

[randomkitty273]

This is totally relevant today. I can't look at pics of him on Broadway whilst listening to this and NOT cry. it's physically impossible.

[starkid6460]

Proud mama feelings right now! So proud of Darren! From performing at cafe's and making YouTube videos to broadway! Broadway! Love you Darren xoxo

[Ewoke6096]

Darren Has gone the distance today!! He has made us all proud! The nobody a year ago is now a Broadway and TV Star!! He will definitely continue to rise and be absolutely brilliant!

[MSydneyD]

All the Darren feels right now. There is a branch in my eye. Our goofy hobbit has made it, guys! :')

[furturerocker96]

I will now love him til the day I die cuz he is a Disney nerd like me! ^^

P.S. GOOD LUCK ON BROADWAY DARREN!!!! WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF YOU ^^,

[ColieVancura120]

Listening to this while finding out he got a standing ovation. Then while watching the curtain call. Then finding out he started to cry = I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STOP CRYING!

[thebasilina]

I'm not crying...i just have a tree in my eye or something.

[music4eva89]

he went the distance guys. our little curly haired goof is on broadway. couldnt be prouder.

[everysongthatssung]

And this goof is on broadway. So proud of him.

[1967UpstairsBrain]

"I'll be there someday..." Hey Darren? That day is today. Break a leg, Darren Everett Criss.

[sacar96]

@1967UpstairsBrain I may or may not have cried when i read that comment......... :')

[gregoramy]

This makes me really emotional now. I mean look how far he has come! ;___;

[thetophatgirl]

Darren... Broadway... TOMORROW!!!!! agggghhhhhh!!!!! So proud!

[giggles254]

No Darren just. Stop. I hate you. You're too perfect.

[VailaIsMe]

Can't believe he's gonna be on Broadway TOMORROW. My proud mama tears are never ending.

[hadanegra1224]

I'm tearing up here... =') I'm so proud of him! He's doing great, about to debut on Broadway.

[kurtsie527]

Disney Darren makes me happy <3

[Robo95UK]

:') And he did go the distance

[CrazyXForiXChan]

This is so amazing to hear right now, because it's so true. He's finding his way, look, he's on one of TV's biggest shows, he's going to be on Broadway next month… I can't help feeling so proud / excited for him.

[ZephyrraArabians]

I detect a little bit of "A Thousand Miles" in there, Darren...

[JackF1116]

@neza109 He did teach himself, but he also played violin since he was five so he had the background in music. He even played first violin (that's the best person normally) at my high school! And was in the shows and stuff too!

[neza109]

He's such an amazing piano player, and to think he taught himself *sigh* He's so perfect!!!

[IHeartParamore13]

1:27 A Thousand Miles -Vaness Carlton? LOL

[TheBrittnaayy]

DISNEY.<3

[caitlinn777]

Darren should just sing every song in the world and have them available to download

[isabellacriss7]

@caitlinn777 his voice honestly suits every song in the world.

[MelissaLovesMakeup89]

Glee should just do a Disney themed episode already and let Arren song every song acoustically under the sun!!

Thumbs up if you'd watch an hour of Blaine doing Disney :)

[Coronadogrl]

@MelissaLovesMakeup89 Disney songs are expensive.

[litgss18]

how predictable. i started out listening to a bunch of my olf fav disney songs and i wind up at darren criss.

[lilmaddieme]

@litgss18 oh my god. The same thing just happened to me. What has my life come to? Listening to the greatest songs ever written have made me crave hearing this man sing some of them... If he ever covers "You've got a friend in me" i think i would cry. Because i cry whenever i hear that song anyway... but still. It would be perfect.

[caitlinn777]

@litgss18 it works in reverse too hehe :)

[SLOANHOLTBY]

bitches won't shut up in the background.. Why doesn't everyone just go silent when listening to this awesome cover...

[SuperFinn2011]

jejejejeje



[mandys315]

dont shoot me but i like the orginal better

[SakuraUsamaki123]

People in the backround....SHUT THE FRUMPET UP!

Let Darren sing in peace, dammit! ♥

[mandys315]

@SakuraUsamaki123 he he i like that word frumpet

[CausexIxWantxTo]

He did go the distance. :]

[Marthyxxbabie]

Is it okay for me to be crying right now?

[akacopycat]

The people in the background should shut up. Darren, I love you!!! (:

[VoteUnicorn]

Darren NEEDS to play the next Disney prince.

[haleypoprock]

@VoteUnicorn I would probably go into a coma if that happened. In a good way.

[TheCherryBomber1]

@VoteUnicorn put him with Joanna Newsom as a disney princess and there, my friend, you'll find magic

[Flowapowa96]

@VoteUnicorn Oh mY god, yes!!!!

[Missfantasygeek]

@VoteUnicorn I second this motion

[hjbwritergrl27]

i love this. even the chatter in the background, because it reminds me of when he was just that guy darren... before you could barely hear him sing over all the screaming girls.

and that is NOT. A Thousand Miles, guys. listen to that song again, and then listen to this. its not. js.

[Glotter43]

Darren + Disney = Epic. :^)

[xXiLoveYou97Xx]

I need to marry this guy.

Hey, sister wives anyone?!?!

[happinesswins]

@xXiLoveYou97Xx LAWL



[SierraRebecca93]

@xXiLoveYou97Xx Lets do it. I just had my birthday. I'm legal now.

[27shermanator]

You see, in the Muggle world, I'm something called a douchebag. I'm that guy, that when everybody wants to just hang out, I'm sitting there doing bad covers of Disney songs. I'm like Jesse McCartney. I'm Jesse McCartney's douche!

[XR782VT]

@27shermanator seriously? Darren Criss is amazing. I loved in in both A Very Potter Musical and Sequel. I personally don't like Glee but I am happy for him because now other people who may not be familiar with AVPM or AVPS can finally see his talent. Have YOU ever met Darren Criss??? NO! So how can you call him a douchebag without even meeting him???? Only true douchebags call other people douchebags without actually having a chance to meet that person, dickwad.

[27shermanator]

@XR782VT You're rather asinine. That was a quote from AVPS. Darren said that himself. I love Darren and he is in no way a douchebag.

[35bam]

@XR782VT It's a joke! It's something he said in AVPS! It's a freaking quote! Geez! You honestly think it would have 127 thumbs ups if it was really this persons opinion? Rewatch A Very Potter Sequel!

[TheSumBum3000]

I'm literally crying right now. ♥

[samdog909]

:')

[MaddieMcCartney1]

Ugh damn I love this song. It has so much meaning to me, I cry almost every time I hear it.

[PeaceErin1283]

@MaddieMcCartney1 same :')

[0xoCube]

Oh god. This is pure perfection.

[10thDoctorLove]

:O! Wow. Just...Wow.

[analikesunicorns]

3 dislikes? Hi draco, snape and umbrige!

[Run2theSkyline]

Do i hear a thousand miles?

[vivalamusica22]

@Run2theSkyline It sounds like it in the piano part!

[ebloomify]

im so sad he won't be on the S.P.A.C.E. tour :(

[Gazzaismad]

@ebloomify he'll be at a few of the legs.

[ebloomify]

@Gazzaismad alksjdf;aoskjdr;lqafksdj al;dkjfpoi ewaroiJAES:DFLKJs;lkdj;l DARREN PLEASE!!! CINCINNATI I AM FREAKING BEGGING YOU!!!

[TheBethVicky]

@ebloomify He'll be on a few of the dates when he isn't recording glee

[ebloomify]

@TheBethVicky so i've been told :) i am inwardly freaking out and i am trying to keep from killing you all with the wrath of my caps lock excitement. :) LSKDJF;LAJDFG LK;DJSF;LKAUTERAFO;DIUJkl:SFDJ­aelKFJ:aklfjeljs;KLADFJLKJ;lsd­fkgj;lkajd;;j

never mind.

[TheBethVicky]

@ebloomify I hate it cause the only time I could go see it is when he isn't there :(

[ebloomify]

@TheBethVicky how do you know he won't be at that one? THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE.

[TheBethVicky]

@ebloomify I checked a website comfirming the dates he will appear and the only time I can see it is when it some other show :(

[ebloomify]

@TheBethVicky WHAT IS THIS WEBSITE?

[TheBethVicky]

@ebloomify I don't know this was a few week ago when I found it

[TheNAPmusic]

nick pitera and him have amazing voices

[bandchick888]

this made me cry..im so proud of him even though i dont know him personally. its just so refreshing to see such an amazing genuine human being getting what they deserve :')

[vallinvanessa]

I wish he would do another Disney cover, like something from Tangled or Aladdin.

[MCFCMTID]

@vallinvanessa He done a mulan one ----> i'll make a man out of you. Its great!

[thebasilina]

@DC11961 I actually think that his cutting the "dreamed" he made it more emotional :/

[DC11961]

-.- wow I love Darren's voice and all but he absolutely MURDERED the rhythm in the song. By making words like "dreamed" in the first line of the song shorter, he's taking away the emotion and the rhythm of the piece. -.-

[jacobjacobpenguins]

@DC11961 do NOT insult the god of song. it's called personalizing, he takes a song and makes it his own, and i know that a lot o people admire him for that.

[closertotheCLOUDS]

I love this song and Darren's voice is simply perfection. Gosh, just wow. -3

[MsSamanthaPaige22]

caroline0914, you're amazing. I am just now discovering all these amazing covers that you put on here, so thank you for uploading them! :)

[XxMrsCoreyFeldmanxX]

Well. You did it, Darren. You went the distance. <3

[raecakes079]

I LOVE THIS. OMG. OMG.

disney+darren criss=me peeing myself

[Jocons32]

probably one of my favourite disney songs sung by my favourite artist ever.. heavenly

[LycorisRadiata1994]

[hypofreak497]

3 dislikes? Wow Hades, why you hatin?



[singingfreak525]

please darren this is my favorite song. please record it. i would offer you eternal glory, but you've already got that.

[TheHorriblehanna]

Wait, do these people realize Darren Criss is singing a song from Hercules? Obviously not, or else they wouldn't be talking.

[TheFrenchMadmoiselle]

3 people never found their way and never went the distance.

[adiva682]

... He NEEDS to record all his disney covers... I'd buy them in a heartbeat.... <3

[SoulRythm]

@adiva682 Me too!! :D

[LoveislouderDL]

@adiva682 me too

[Dragunscar9]

2 dislikes! Thanks Hermione!

[terrastar12]

One person didn't make the distance....

[JordanWithAChance]

He put a bit of a thousand miles in there :D

[CarmelLG]

my current favorite actor singing a song originaly sung by the first actor i've ever really been a fan of. What more can a girl want?

[TheAshie23]

Darren Criss singing one of my favorite songs ever! I'm just going to go ahead and die now...

[prettylittlegleeks1]

Every time I hear this song I just think of him in a cafe and everyone talking in the back round and me, just sitting there staring at him.. Completely hypnotized :)

[drawerfunfun]

When i listened to this, i cried, then i fell asleep(cuz it's so relaxing), then woke up. I love darren. He's the most amazing man and i really hope he understands that. I love him so much, i cant put it into words. I love you darren. -3

[erikwetbeard]

What are the chords to this, in this key?

[najadetwo]

@erikwetbeard I'm pretty sure he plays it in C.

[msleannelouis]

Those people are talking because it's a restaurant, they don't know him and they're not his fans.

[GryffindorIChooseYou]

YES YES YES Darren Criss singing my absolute favorite disney song! :D

Not gonna lie, I looked for this. SO thrilled I found it :)

[karlycriss]

i had to sing this in a showcase and i ended up not singing it because i wanted to preserve darrens perfectness of this song

[himynameissmile]

I wanted this for so long

[xrandomistbabex]

The One Person WHo Disliked This Has No Heart!

Like If You Agree!:]

[SomebodySlapHer]

@xrandomistbabex Nope, I'm pretty sure they just disliked it.

[gagirl1990]

I think this defines his career right now. beautiful. i totally cried

[TaylorNMusic]

Im in heaven :)

[Woaaaaaaah]

how dare these people actually talk while darren-freaking-criss is singing!

[hateJB97]

I adopted this song as my anthem about two years ago... adopted him as my favorite singer about that time too....

[StarkidCandice22]

Oh my goodness. I heard this and almost cried because his performance, and his personality is so beautiful. The fact that he loves Disney makes my heart melt.

[moogul21d]

@StarkidCandice22

Darren and disney seems to have that affect on me too. I die and go to heaven every time I even think about him!

[bobkelso4245]

I knew I wasnt the only person who still sings disney songs.

[bobkelso4245]

Drunk assholes, APPLAUD!!!!!



[SomebodySlapHer]

WHAT IS WITH THE LACK OF APPLAUSE.

I will end you.

[lilysev11]

Before the song even started, I hit the like button, and added it to my favorites. I just knew it would be awesome...I mean, Darren Criss and Disney...more than epic.

[surfingKnuddelmuff]

Darren Criss singing my favourite Disney song of all time... let me just wipe my tears away, then I can die!

[BigEnoughUmbrella]

I love how he has a little bit of "A thousand miles" by Vanessa Carlton at 1:27 so cute!

[krimzun16]

@BigEnoughUmbrella i noticed that also lmao

[starkidstruck]

I absolutely ADORE this song!!! Darren singing it almost made me cry! It is simply beautiful :')

[katyd19952013]

PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND!

[dreamhigh9]

[mrsszmanda07]

[brookewhitefan4ever]

I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face.

[Carolsuperstar3]

How can people even breathe while Darren is singing?? Shut up! He is singing!

[jbfan1987]

[hernamewaseponine]

...it sounds like there's a bit of "A Thousand Miles" by Michelle Branch in that little piano blurb. XD

[smilekiddo17]

[theSAUCYxMERMINATOR]
