Darren Criss's Glee Audition.wmv

We all love Darren Criss since he was just singing under some stairs, and we all supported him when he started this journey through Glee... That's how it all started.
I do not own this video, I just mixed both tapes he recorded for the Glee directors... and I definitely do not own Darren... I wish!

[@potatosaurrawr3628]

I'm sorry Gleeks but I can only see him as a fluffy haired Harry Freakin' Potter X3

[@oneidahernandez8877]

same

[@pfftxoxo1502]

potatosaur rawr me

[@unhealthyobsession4600]

potatosaur rawr yaaaassss boo I luv HP

[@alicejeffery1986]

lol Im a total gleek but I love him in avpm sooooo much but Im still glad he's in glee (who else could of played Blaine) because that's why I got interested in starkid. Now I can't go a day without watching glee or starkid. I have no life

[@mcmoore5856]

I love him in glee but love him more in starkid

[@alixmalone19]

Mentioning Starkid without using the name= fabulous.

[@SebastianReedAndrews]

I dunno why anyone would hate that hair, he looks like such a cutie with it.

[@kmasucci]

Darren is supermegafoxyawesomehot

[@b.alexis5079]

AVPM YES!

[@MyDogDaffy]

You got it girl !!!!

[@arianaxabdon]

WHY THATS ABSURD!

[@arianaxabdon]

***** THAT'S ABSURD

[@kmasucci]

Its Hermione...It's just like...I can't get her out of my head...And every time I look at her, I get these pains in my chest and I just know it's her fault. That Bitch!

[@gracieliz95]

You can totally feel his excitement every time he sings.

[@ariajia9224]

His hair reminds me of Chase from Zoey101

[@OwlFromValimus]

Escarola jajajaa

[@Pinxku]

I like more the blaine style hair

[@ashsworld9990]

Aria Jia OMGGG SO TRUE

[@teslanicole5438]

I'm so freakin' glad he got the part! I could not see anyone else to play Blaine nor bring what he does to the set.

[@catherinelester4123]

me neither! I try to imagine someone else but I just can't!!

[@unhealthyobsession4600]

Chill Out Cabeyo exactly omg no one can compete with Blaine he is my favorite gay ( sorry Kurt and Emily)

[@larissaprates1384]

Did you know he auditioned for Finn first? The producers liked him, but he wasn't right for the role. So, he auditioned later for Blaine and was cast for season 2. I just can't see him as Finn, he's perfect for Blaine just like Cory was perfect to play Finn.

[@reginaelliott5955]

Chris colfer auditioned for artie but they liked him so much they made the character kurt if there was no chris colfer as kurt then there would be no blaine

[@nostalgicrecall5916]

Omg imagine if he hadn't gotten the part?!? Never mind I can't, just can't

[@joplinsf00l]

This sounds stalker-ish but a piece of Glee would be missing

[@potterinu]

+Sabrina Ramirez He probably would have been in more of the Starkid shows then. I loved him on glee but I wish he could have had more time for both.

[@travisminger9529]

He didn’t he auditioned like 3 times before he got in he didn’t get in from this one.

[@faith5670]

HIS HAIR

[@Mo-yn9ij]

It's fluffy! :'3

[@i-am-not-penelope2556]

Faith Leifer welcome to the dino prom

[@bbyfcetm]

My heart...how can one person be so freaking adorable

[@victoriasuzanne93]

That hair brings me back to AVPM!

[@gracen3286]

I love how he mentions Starkid. He doesn't say the name, but everyone who has seen AVPM and Twisted know the Darren is talking about Starkid. I love him

[@rose16662]

I wouldnt say it started everything. I would say that was starkid that started it for Darren.

[@TurtleWithHairDye]

Sojmeone get this boy some hair gel! lol, I'm totally kidding, his curly hair is adorable!!

[@leahgreen4850]

IKR

[@6Anonymous6Nobody6]

If I ever meet Darren I want to show him this video and tell him "Look how far you've made it, You accomplished so much and inspired thousands maybe even millions of people. Thank you for everything that you've done."

[@PBxFinn1125]

He's so cute I can't 😍😍😍

[@JewlyaRose]

switching keys in the middle of a song like that is very hard for any singer

[@maribelhansson5111]

Yeah that was amazing :)

[@marcita739]

I miss his beautiful curly hair... God bless Darren and the Glee director's to make that call ;)

[@AnaCristina-qt5kr]

Oh my God. I'm in love with this guy. Seriously. Darren is the love of my life and I accept that.

[@allymatamoros6101]

me fr

[@HaunaMyKiki]

Friendly reminder that this was NOT the audition that got him the part. This was an audition for a MySpace contest his friends guilted him into doing, hence why it's very laid back and not put together all that well. Darren's Blaine audition was in person and there is no known recording of it. But we do know he cut his hair before the real audition, and sang "Where or When" by Rodgers and Hart and a jazzy piano version of "Hit Me Baby One More Time"

[@tydelouis65]

Then why did he say glee

[@HaunaMyKiki]

Avia Dallas It was *an* audition he did for Glee, but it wasn't the audition that got him the part. He auditioned 3 or 4 separate times before the audition that got him Blaine.

[@anncop]

thanks for the information, I mean it =D

[@lyndelrosario9302]

+Alana D .. Is it his audition for the part of Finn Hudson?I've read it somewhere that he said he auditioned for that part but obviously he didn't get it..

[@HaunaMyKiki]

Lyn Del Rosario No I don't think so. This was after Finn was cast, and I think he put a little more effort into that audition than this one.

[@ashersflaquers]

Damn that G.L.E.E!

[@imagined245]

ashersflaquers Always making twisted abominations out of everything!

[@garrymoore-eroomyrrag]

omg he did so well; he definitely deserved a spot on glee!

[@JessCollinsss]

i think he is possibly the most beautiful human ever

[@MrSasyB]

that hair though **___________**

[@clairewalker4441]

OKAY. Can we please talk about the last line of the description😂

[@lizzybanks8255]

😂😂

[@Tumultulous]

I can't BELIEVE this used to be his old hairstyle

[@ratgxrl]

He is perfection.

[@breezybri9680]

Goosebumps during his perfomance, my god.

[@ilovepizza4808]

WHO ELSE LOVES AVPM OMG ITS FAB

[@lilybaxter9454]

[@samd77666]

I'm crying this is so sweet aaa

[@annawalker4223]

I would love to see his and Chris's chemistry read!

[@flowers-fq6hp]

I don't think it was ever recorded, but oh my god I would DIE to see that!

[@danad.a.6386]

I'll call you Darren ;)

[@lisapetri3616]

no wonder he got chosen to play blaine. he is so awesome. i wish i could sing that well

[@MiniTalkin11]

hey it's harry freakin potter

[@kimvrin9992]

Mfaoofjsjd he sang a song that brings nostalgic memories from all my camp times for his audition and now I’m just gonna just sit here and totally not cry and miss those times-

[@soumyagangwar9681]

I LOVE YOU DARREN!!!!!!! Thank you so much for singing that song, and playing the part of Blaine, and falling in love with Kurt, and MAKING MY HEAD EXPLODE WITH ALL THE FEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Charlie.Weldon]

Not thats he's not AMAZING here you can hear how much his voice has improved! INCREDIBLE!!! :)

[@lemmysmendez3100]

BLAINE DEVON ANDERSON and Harry Freaking Potter of course xD

[@cutie250tv]

He looks perfect With/Without Gel! He is a amazing singer

[@cscatmagic]

I could just fall asleep listening to him. Darren's an inspiration to me!

[@seximammazzbaby]

HURRY GET THE GEL

[@light80050]

He passes the audition with this hair? Wow real talent! :p kidding he's awesome

[@palefox]

+light80050 nope, he did a later audition and cut his hair for it :)

[@Aaron-wy9nb]

he originally auditioned for the part of Finn

[@gymnastgirlflips]

As soon as he comes on the video I can't help but smile and when he sings I just can't stop. That's so cool, it's so totally awesome! And I'm so glad I found out about Darren when he was Harry Freaking Potter and making Disney covers... I mean, who does that!? And now he's on Glee. He'll still always be Harry Potter to me.

[@dulcineamonet8921]

Such a cutie pie then and now...

[@gracerogerz]

NERD OMG UGH I LOVE YOU

[@WarrantGirl27]

Starkid!! ♥

[@jaydenkeith3730]

Hair goals

[@rathasha]

His eyes, his mouth, his hair, his voice, his abbs, his eyebrows, his eyelashes, HE IS SO PERFECT!

[@Mullinlacie]

he was soo nervous

[@charlotteharrisonsheffield8152]

why doesn't he sound like this on glee , its much better. i love his messy hairdo , he's so cute when he sings :)

[@TreiPG]

Omg you kileed it. What a genius Darren.

[@DeadRedRose1234]

i love Darren Criss and im glad we get to see him in season 4.

[@stefanief7208]

Too bad he didn't get to be in the part where they sang that song on glee😔

[@ariadnahoranpayne]

Omg. His hair was so... afro

[@josecoral350]

his hair... I love it...!

[@yamimitoire]

My heart is melting... And look at those curls!!!! Love u Darren ♥♥

[@katiebloomston9049]

wheres your gel?!

[@verareyhood]

Glee made him wear hair gel? Lol!

[@tara020204]

This was absolutly amazing, love his voice&his hair ♥

[@margicates553]

Oh he’s even more beautiful that I imagined😍

[@unhealthyobsession4600]

Damn no wondered he gelled his hair on set he wouldn't wanna be seen with his hair like that

[@MatthewMobscene]

Truth be told, his voice is just okay, not anything special, if you like him it's because you find him attractive.

[@rajahcoma423]

I like him because.. ITS HARRY FREAKIN' POTTER!

[@barbaracerqueira3612]

I love him because he has a realy sweet voice, he is really funny and of course he is attractive but that's not all

[@mayatheworld]

His looks aren't the only reason people love him. He is such a sweet and funny person and he has an amazing voice.

[@Ipwarn]

Truth be told very few of the actors on Glee are exceptionally strong vocally (Lea and Amber being the only two I can think of) that is why they are on TV and not out there selling albums. But out of all of them I'd say Darren is one of, if not the most musical out of all of them. He lives music. His ear, the wide range of instruments he can play and his musical knowledge are all outstanding. He is not just some pretty face as you seem to be implying (and are you implying that you've never respected a celebrity who couldn't sing? That that is the only marketable aspect of a person?) I've been around musicians my entire life (jazz, not pop, but still) and he is not faking his passion. That shit is real. Vocally he may not be broadway level, but for pop? I would say he is on par with most pop singers. And stage-presence wise? He is fucking mind-blowing.

[@florencette5966]

Ipwarn Truth!

[@rubyssinging8834]

I’m watching this and I’m like you always find a way to make me smile so thx Darren 🙂

[@alternifeind15]

Omg he almost made me cry. hes so right. it gave, drama and glee kids a special place in mainstream society. with the show we finally were backed up as more than just the crazy kids who sing show tunes in class and recite their lines to themselves in public.

[@cheurbs]

tbh not his best, not a great song to showcase his vocal range

[@SDuif]

I love his hair on this video!!!

[@jobellesephine1495]

Fantastic. Has Warbler material written all over him. And that hair, definitely they thought of Prom-A-Saurus just from those curls. Wonderful, thank you for finding and posting this for us. So Blainey. mwah

[@sequoiagibson678]

All the starkids in the audience make me happy :)

[@breecriss7159]

[@ixaaicactus]
