from wikipedia... "Criss later became a multi-instrumentalist, mastering the violin, guitar, piano, cello, mandolin, harmonica, and drums, and he began composing songs by the age of fifteen" aka he is superhuman.
I really hope Darren records an album!! I know he hasn't had time because of glee and then Hedwig and now he's going to film a movie but I hope he hasn't forgotten about doing one:(
+Taylor Allmen I hope so too but honestly I'll still prefer his live performances : there is so much passion and energy in those ! I think he loses that a lot in his studio performances. Technically he's better in his studio performances of course but the feeling behind is just not the same. That's the case for "Not Alone" for example. At least in my opinion.
one of the best performances i have ever seen from darren ever. i loved this song in avps, but darren brings it to a whole new level of brilliance in his solo version. so much pent-up energy and smouldering beauty going into this performance, it's unbelievable. so can't wait to see Darren back on Glee :)
Oh woah. I've only ever heard this song sung by Joe Walker as Umbridge. I had no freaking idea it was even more bad-ass than I originally thought. O w O
So I watched this three times : 1) To stare at his beautiful eyes. 2) To stare at his beautiful mouth. 3) To stare at his beautiful hands. Gosh I love him
I watch this at least three times per day.. he is the perfect man..guitar, drums, that voice, that face, that body, talent seeping from his body...no obtainable man is even close to this awesome!
i started crying when darren started getting all loud on the last verse. and, why does he tilt his head after singing something. it's acctually really attractive
Good energetic song. I loved the drum solo and the bass is pretty sweet (could do with its own solo.) keep chuckling because I can't help but think of he-man Umbridge singing this in his/her pink dress.
@itsxmexlaurex Darren wrote this song a few years ago. A slightly different version of it is in "A Very Potter Sequel" where it is sung by Joe Walker as Professor Umbridge. But I like it even better when Darren sings it. So sexy!
GAH! Seeing this, then remembering I live in Australia and therefore will probably never see him live, KILLS me! You have absolutely no idea how much it kills me. His performances are INSANE!
@mdbaldo I have lost count already of how many times I have replayed this video haha! Thanks for uploading! I wish I lived in America so I could see him perform. He's seriously talented.
![The Coolest Girl/Teenage Dream [Live] - Darren Criss](/img/n.gif)
mama umbridge would be proud
Back when I didn't know anything about Starkid, I was so confused by this comment as a potterhead.
This is Darren's original version of the song. He wrote it. The lyrics were adapted for use in the musical.
I never understood the stuttering on the musical, now I get it that I know the original line is 10/10
DARREN IS SWEATY AND SCREAMING INTO A MICROPHONE AND HES SO SPONTANEOUS AND JUST GORGEOUS AND I WANT
Someone please find me a guy like Darren.
I would also accept the actual Darren Criss.
The bass player is killing it though. A-mazing.
IKR! I'm surprised nobody else is talking about it!
That guy doesn't sing this song... No... HE LIVES IT ! Piano, guitar, voice, drums, dance... Amazing !
I love Dave Christmas
Bass man is so into it and I am HERE FOR IT.
This bass player is so damn good
This never gets old.
I love how he just rocks out and has fun HES SO FREAKIN PERFECT
I love the point where he realizes "dude, im gonna totes screw with these fangirls' minds... imma make them go crazy"
I love the twitch he does with his head
Lucy Sloan it’s the cutest thing
Someone get the bassist his own show.
You can just see the passion in his performance. I love watching him perform.
holy shit I love this song well I love every single song that Darren sing his voice is so addictive
this performance is freaking awesome! Super mega foxy awesome cool!!!!!
i love how in EVERY SINGLE performance when Darren says "fuck" the audience squeals.
ngl, i would too.
It's absolutely BEST live version, too bad the sound is messed up
from wikipedia... "Criss later became a multi-instrumentalist, mastering the violin, guitar, piano, cello, mandolin, harmonica, and drums, and he began composing songs by the age of fifteen" aka he is superhuman.
I love how much fun he has during performances
I really hope Darren records an album!! I know he hasn't had time because of glee and then Hedwig and now he's going to film a movie but I hope he hasn't forgotten about doing one:(

I love how he smiles when he sings. It's so adorable!
This is one of my favorite videos on all of youtube.
one of the best performances i have ever seen from darren ever. i loved this song in avps, but darren brings it to a whole new level of brilliance in his solo version. so much pent-up energy and smouldering beauty going into this performance, it's unbelievable.

Okay seriously, just too much talent in one guy, what the actual fuck?
His stage presence is just.. wow.
I just love how much he enjoys this! ^^
I love how I can't stop watching this!! He is addicting! I need rehab!
Memories…
When he performs his facial expressions crack me up! Oh, I love you Darren!
Most of us lost our ability to even at the beginning of the damn concert. He's incredible! Thanks for watching!
this man is just waoooooo
So I watched this three times :
1) To stare at his beautiful eyes.
2) To stare at his beautiful mouth.
3) To stare at his beautiful hands.
Gosh I love him
I cannot even deal with this. Perfection. Everywhere.
omg this is everything... I'm speechless basically just developed a 'Stutter'
No matter how hard he tries he can't help but smile. -3
Still want to hear a studio version of this song. Even though I know it will never happen...
love the concert,he was so cute!!!
his little head twitch is so cute
I like the AVPS version better, but this is still good.
Teaching myself how to the play this and it's the most difficult thing ever
Idk what tab ur using but its so easy... I've been teaching myself to play guitar for 5 months now
damn... i tried different tabs and i see what ur talking about 0_0
This version is so much better then in the musical
he goes mad hard at 2:44. Love this man till the day i die.
there is absolutely nothing that man cannot do. except forget to be adorable..
Haha, i just love how much he's enjoying this.. Gotta freakin' love him :)
I watch this at least three times per day.. he is the perfect man..guitar, drums, that voice, that face, that body, talent seeping from his body...no obtainable man is even close to this awesome!
Me too. I've never seen him play the violin before - I would love to see him do that :)
Oh man he is just so damn hot!!!
Darren is just amazing.... gorgeous.... so talented... omg amazing!!
Casually goes over and starts playing drums.... love Darren!
Omg now drums too, he is just so damn talented ❤😍❤
Absolutely the best thing on the internet.
this whole performance is amazing. i always like hearing songs like this. you can tell darren is happy when he's playing them just by the way he acts.
i started crying when darren started getting all loud on the last verse. and, why does he tilt his head after singing something. it's acctually really attractive
A energia dele cantando essa música é incrível!
Good energetic song. I loved the drum solo and the bass is pretty sweet (could do with its own solo.) keep chuckling because I can't help but think of he-man Umbridge singing this in his/her pink dress.
I could watch him forever.
he's so talented, omg. i love him so freakin' much.
i love that in every single performance, without fail, whenever he sings the line "baby we could f*ck the rights" every girl in the audience squeals.
He's even more amazing when he's in like a rage. xD
WOW! you have an awesome camara and he is unbelievable live. Thanks.
"we can fuck the rig-"
"WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
@itsxmexlaurex Darren wrote this song a few years ago. A slightly different version of it is in "A Very Potter Sequel" where it is sung by Joe Walker as Professor Umbridge. But I like it even better when Darren sings it. So sexy!
That man is just amazing !
bass is sick too
You can totally see how much fun he had, he could barely keep himself from smiling the whole time^^ Dork, I love you :D
i love him. i want him NOW
i want Darren to come to England!
this is my definition of perfection
i love how everybody screams after darren swears XD
GAH! Seeing this, then remembering I live in Australia and therefore will probably never see him live, KILLS me! You have absolutely no idea how much it kills me. His performances are INSANE!
i just died. I LOVE YOU DARREN
that song is great :) and darren of course too!!!
I love how that guy in the blue shirt is just going balls to the walls in the back.
I was there!! He KILLED IT!!
He should dance every time he sings this song. It reminds me of Joe Walker with the blonde wig, and I die every time I watch that musical!
what the hellllll that was totally awesome!
Darren is so attractive when he yells.

This is by far my favourite video of Darren ever
Like sometimes I think I'm a lesbian, then I remember this exists
The bassist is rockin out! Fucking love it!
I really love the faces he makes while singing. haha
The amount of head twitches is too damn high! Haha nah I still love him!
That would rock. Really, really, really, rock.
@mdbaldo I have lost count already of how many times I have replayed this video haha! Thanks for uploading! I wish I lived in America so I could see him perform. He's seriously talented.
😭😭why is this so good? ❤️
A perfect human being.
Oh my god!!! Is there anything he can't do? Holy shit he's magic X)
Joe walker. In a dress. You change my view of this song permenantly
every time I watch this video, I worry that my computer is going to crash from an overload of pure sexiness
