Chicago Darren Criss performs Stutter at Northalsted Market Days

Darren Criss performs Stutter as the final encore at Northalsted Market Days. Starting on guitar he then surprisingly takes over the drums then goes back and finishes out on the guitar after introducing his band. His energy is just incredible. Nice stage leap at the end.

mama umbridge would be proud

[@sidbid1590]

Back when I didn't know anything about Starkid, I was so confused by this comment as a potterhead.

[@mdbaldo]

This is Darren's original version of the song. He wrote it. The lyrics were adapted for use in the musical.

[@colemoore5007]

I never understood the stuttering on the musical, now I get it that I know the original line is 10/10

[@karismakeeton1243]

DARREN IS SWEATY AND SCREAMING INTO A MICROPHONE AND HES SO SPONTANEOUS AND JUST GORGEOUS AND I WANT

[@MichaelaRenae07]

Someone please find me a guy like Darren. I would also accept the actual Darren Criss.

[@LaurineDargaud]

That guy doesn't sing this song... No... HE LIVES IT ! Piano, guitar, voice, drums, dance... Amazing !

[@CarrionCarriesOn]

I love Dave Christmas

[@fauvedepauw9749]

The bass player is killing it though. A-mazing.

[@TheChrisErvin]

IKR! I'm surprised nobody else is talking about it!

[@dfnshmtz3339]

This bass player is so damn good

[@eppiejo05]

I love the point where he realizes "dude, im gonna totes screw with these fangirls' minds... imma make them go crazy"

[@karimn97]

Someone get the bassist his own show.

[@LucySloan]

I love the twitch he does with his head

[@amaiarodriguez6183]

Lucy Sloan it’s the cutest thing

[@snowyowl2784]

Bass man is so into it and I am HERE FOR IT.

[@tomparkergetinmybed]

i love how in EVERY SINGLE performance when Darren says "fuck" the audience squeals. ngl, i would too.

[@AbbASongs1]

This never gets old.

[@pigoomelon]

I love how he just rocks out and has fun HES SO FREAKIN PERFECT

[@radityanandiasa6852]

this performance is freaking awesome! Super mega foxy awesome cool!!!!!

[@caffrey4eva]

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.

[@stephaniemajors3764]

You can just see the passion in his performance. I love watching him perform.

[@idmwiaa]

It's absolutely BEST live version, too bad the sound is messed up

[@yeni8521]

holy shit I love this song well I love every single song that Darren sing his voice is so addictive

[@angelnumberz]

Okay seriously, just too much talent in one guy, what the actual fuck?

[@RedThorn00]

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

[@Vanwyn1]

His stage presence is just.. wow.

[@jamesl.861]

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:(

[@vanessagaillarde8281]

+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.

[@rose16662]

I love how much fun he has during performances

[@chriswalton6899]

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 :)

[@colemoore5007]

This version is so much better then in the musical

[@NR-lc8we]

his little head twitch is so cute

[@madiroxx11]

I love how I can't stop watching this!! He is addicting! I need rehab!

[@XxMadAboutPotterxX]

I love how he smiles when he sings. It's so adorable!

[@VDifferentObsessions]

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

[@MichaelaRenae07]

This is one of my favorite videos on all of youtube.

[@xMissAnne]

I just love how much he enjoys this! ^^

[@Ajrenee_]

No matter how hard he tries he can't help but smile. -3

[@madiroxx11]

When he performs his facial expressions crack me up! Oh, I love you Darren!

[@yeni8521]

this man is just waoooooo

[@nuyataylor4885]

Memories…

[@charlotterojas]

I could watch him forever.

[@mdbaldo]

Most of us lost our ability to even at the beginning of the damn concert. He's incredible! Thanks for watching!

[@ashtuatara]

I like the AVPS version better, but this is still good.

[@musiclover6945]

Haha, i just love how much he's enjoying this.. Gotta freakin' love him :)

[@TheForlove13]

Teaching myself how to the play this and it's the most difficult thing ever

[@TheChrisErvin]

Idk what tab ur using but its so easy... I've been teaching myself to play guitar for 5 months now

[@TheChrisErvin]

damn... i tried different tabs and i see what ur talking about 0_0

[@renaynicole7198]

Oh man he is just so damn hot!!!

[@rohinirenee]

omg this is everything... I'm speechless basically just developed a 'Stutter'

[@SillyKat1999]

"we can fuck the rig-" "WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

[@oncerreads]

he goes mad hard at 2:44. Love this man till the day i die.

[@allegriaram8532]

Still want to hear a studio version of this song. Even though I know it will never happen...

[@crankupdamusic]

He's even more amazing when he's in like a rage. xD

[@MichaelaRenae07]

I cannot even deal with this. Perfection. Everywhere.

[@xDmaraa]

there is absolutely nothing that man cannot do. except forget to be adorable..

[@loverosesky]

love the concert,he was so cute!!!

[@Marthyxxbabie]

I love how that guy in the blue shirt is just going balls to the walls in the back.

[@seraphoni]

Absolutely the best thing on the internet.

[@AAWHEEEE]

Casually goes over and starts playing drums.... love Darren!

[@TheAniElise]

i love how everybody screams after darren swears XD

[@927R]

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!

[@heatherlyda6153]

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

[@mdbaldo]

Thank you for your support of my video!!! This is an amazing performance by an amazing man! Keep watching!

[@nicholemurphy7151]

Me too. I've never seen him play the violin before - I would love to see him do that :)

[@Seward22Emily]

he's so talented, omg. i love him so freakin' much.

[@me2drescue]

thx sooo much for uploading! such good quality (both the camera and the performance) thxxx!!! :D

[@yourwildchick]

i just died. I LOVE YOU DARREN

[@RobertHKelly]

WOW

[@HufflepuffFinding]

Darren is so attractive when he yells.

[@Starkidpotterful]

A perfect human being.

[@Yohanna1704]

A energia dele cantando essa música é incrível!

[@xheypat]

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!

[@mdbaldo]

@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!

[@CarrionCarriesOn]

This is by far my favourite video of Darren ever Like sometimes I think I'm a lesbian, then I remember this exists

[@darrencrissistotallyawesom918]

Omg now drums too, he is just so damn talented ❤😍❤

[@Cindy-luvjpfe]

WOW! you have an awesome camara and he is unbelievable live. Thanks.

[@randomgal13]

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!

[@amarasandar]

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.

[@Seward22Emily]

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.

[@Amandaf1t]

My 792nd time watching #Obsessed!

[@mezzoforte127]

The bassist is rockin out! Fucking love it!

[@me2drescue]

this is my definition of perfection

[@camweasley]

every time I watch this video, I worry that my computer is going to crash from an overload of pure sexiness

[@Nilex90]

You can totally see how much fun he had, he could barely keep himself from smiling the whole time^^ Dork, I love you :D

[@TheEliseylou]

i want Darren to come to England!

[@ntd524]

My obsession for Chris Lorentz has reached a pinnacle. That man.

[@bambibam]

Darren needs to do more original stuff so he can go on TOURR we know his music is amazing and he always looks so happy on stage it would be so much funnnnn.

[@kaheels]

Thumbs up for popped collars!! Hell yeah.

[@BattyKellen]

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.

[@littlemissstarkid]

The things this man does to me.....

[@lucyloo604]

Darren is just amazing.... gorgeous.... so talented... omg amazing!!

[@_corbz]

bass is sick too

[@christienolan1885]

i love him. i want him NOW

[@imnotafuckingmermaid]

I keep laughing because I just can't handle his perfection

[@RUMBLEROAR2187]

Oh!! Thank you :D

[@nicopiper]

how can somebody dislike this video?

[@moonHMZ]

what the hellllll that was totally awesome!

[@judgehangman]

The only thing he doesn't do right is winking and even then he looks adorable.

[@McrBlackRed]

The amount of head twitches is too damn high! Haha nah I still love him!

[@thenastia19]

OMG!!! Darren es increíble... es perfecto. Como diríamos aquí en México: papasitooooo!!! :)

[@noigirl]

That man is just amazing !

[@mdbaldo]

Bonjour! Chris Lorenz is the bass player. He's the guy right next to Darren. Neil Davis is the drummer and Corey Richardson is the other guitar player.

[@Vanwyn1]

@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.

[@queeneve]
