Chicago Darren Criss Teenage Dream Northalsted Market Days

[@hannahballoonn]

i love how things always go wrong when he's performing, but he never seems distressed he just laughs and carries on

[@KateCat420]

It's definitely an impressive talent, there are many people who would never handle this type of situation so gracefully.

[@louangelafreakinawesomecri1082]

And that explains why he is a great artist. He's my Idol and Inspiration. Love You Darren ❤️

[@craighartl160]

An amazing voice

It wouldn't be a Darren Criss performance if something didn't go wrong.

[@jaydynnelson8406]

True lol

[@annatimberlake7]

starkid trait that stuck with him

[@mdbaldo]

@ussabrefencer07 My husband and I met him at two private meet and greets at LeakyCon in July. Sweetest man on the planet. Truly humble and shocked by his success. We were both utterly charmed by him. He remembered my name after seeing me in a 1000 plus person autograph line and 4 hours later called me by name when I walked into the meet and greet room. And the next day he called both me and my hubby by name. And he is a great hugger. He deserves every bit of success he gets.

[@onestory3850]

This is the reason why I love Darenn he' so natural and soo emotional I love him so much

[@rionazogaj2650]

One Story same!

[@mww92297]

"Its kind of funny that this is the first song I got to sing right before my life turned around.It is funny,it's bizarre but I also find it very poetic, That's just the romantic in me, but basically I'm living my teenage dream, because I get to do(I was going to refute that with a really snarky comment, but)its very special and to do what i get to do I dont take for granted,a bunch of strangers came to check out what i do and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mdbaldo]

Sweat and rain. It rained a couple of times before he started playing. And Darren always sweats alot when he performs. He puts so much of himself into every performance! Thanks for watching my video!

[@folkedangel35]

Well add violin, guitar, ukelele and speaking italian.....no. He couldn't be more perfect. :-)

[@HeiMarLy]

folkedangel35 add harmonica mandolin and drums too. Aside from the violin he taught himself how to play all those instruments. He’s so impressive all around.

[@ashara3259]

WHY ISNT HE MINE

[@PS1982SHS]

And his ability to transform into someone as horrible as Andrew Cunanan! A great GREAT actor!

[@annatimberlake7]

can speak mandarin ,french, learning japanes,i think he can do well with Spanish

[@shelbycates7]

This is why I love Darren, he doesn't need a huge production to preform, all he needs is a piano and people. He's so great, and in my opinion one of the best singer/songwriter's of our generation. I know it shouldn't matter but, I'm proud to say I've been a Starkid since 2009 and a Glee fan since 2010 (when I heard Darren was on) So yeah, proud Starkid for life!

[@graceconser324]

After his phone went off the smile he gave was so cute :D

[@dwale1860]

Darren Criss everybody! :D I'm pretty sure he's the only person who could get away with this

[@a.zehrakeskin7685]

I saw a picture of this phone ringing thing with subtitles and i fell in love with darren and his cuteness, smartness, talent, charm etc. Then i found that video which includes this thing. I just said waoow. You cant imagine how happy i am right now. Thank you so much for uploading this video here 😄

[@mdbaldo]

So glad you discovered this video. it is one of my favorite moments from this concert. if you haven't watched my video of Stutter from this same concert...check it out. Darren is so incredibly talented and puts on one heck of a show! Thanks for watching!

[@mdbaldo]

Sorry about the occasional jerkiness in this video, it was raining and I was trying desperately to keep plastic over my camera so as not to have it get ruined. I was close to the stage so at least these are nice close shots. Watch his reaction when the cellphone on the piano rings and when he tells how much this has changed his life and how much he appreciates his fans.

"Buzzkill" means something that ruins your good mood or happiness.

[@lucymariaturner]

I love how no two of his performances are the same, it makes each and every one even more special -3

[@mdbaldo]

It was Darren's phone sitting on his piano. He was really embarrassed when it rang. He says, "Jeez, my band has to turn off their cellphones. Buzzkill! But anyway, you make me..."

[@mdbaldo]

Canon PowerShot SX 30 IS . Awesome camera for video and still photography. Easy to use. I am a total amateur and had no tripod. This was all filmed freeholding the camera after I had been standing for 6 hrs straight (in the rain). Turned out remarkably well considering.Its great for night (low light) filming too. Have most of glee live recorded but can;t post due to copyright. But I can enjoy watching it. Has an automatic setting and a 35x zoom lens. Thanks for watching!

[@ilanagardi2822]

The way Darren sings reminds me of how you go to get a snack from the kitchen in the middle of the night while trying not to wake anyone.

[@sofeel80]

i made a ukulele cover, please give it a listen, it would mean a lot lot lot to me

[@hanross49]

This has to be one of the best videos of him singing this

[@TheHungerGleek]

I just start to cry. Without a reason. I starting to think about how amazing Klaine are. Their meting, Blaine's preferment, Kurt's preferment, first kiss, first duet... Thank you Glee. Think you Darren. I don't know what I would do without you. Klaine-best couple E-V-E-R

[@StarkidGleek101]

I love how everyone starts shushing at 0:28 ! And when his phone went off, i'm not sure if I was the only one who started singing "Darren's got a phone call" instead of Liam! I love this man sooo much!!! :D

[@nickelodeARIfreak11]

he had to have been sent from heaven! no human can be as perfect as he. God i only live for you Darren Criss!

[@mdbaldo]

I did my best. This concert was outdoor and standing only. We were crammed in like sardines and it was raining. I was trying desperately to keep a plastic bag over the top of the camera while standing as still as I could with people pushing from all sides. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@astrobard]

Oh man the rain was the worst. I'm so glad he asked (But didn't ask) everyone to close their umbrellas. One of the women behind the barrier where the Starkid's were hanging out held a n umbrella up for me. We talked for like 20 minutes before Darren came out. It was epic. I wish I had remembered the woman's name!

[@kayhansel6443]

I love this version as well. Especially when the phone goes off-he handled that so well-just kept going. The version that will be on Glee (that they have been showing the clip of) really makes me cry because you can tell he is really struggling with his emotions and the look on Kurt's (Chris) face as he realizes it. This will be an emotional episode for me and I just hope that these two guys can work through this drama and be stronger and together in the end.

[@maryion2023]

what fascinates me in darren is that he appreciates everything he has an he seems such an awesome person!
