Darren Criss- Stutter

[@holleybender275]

He wrote this before AVPS. They just needed a last minute song so they changed it around a bit for Umbridge to sing. Hint why it is different from the AVPS version.

[@theanimeidiot8903]

shh he forgot the lyrics again *wink*

[@tony_macaroni_lol]

A little bit like Harry (the song😂) before it was called Sami because of Little White Lie 😂

[@MusicMadtm]

oh my god really?! the fact that this song slaps so hard and wasn't even written originally for umbridge is amazing

[@school2598]

Honestly? The way he sings it, I can actually see this being a hit single on radio. I'm not even joking. It's amazing how he can change a song from making you laugh till you cry with Joe to singing it himself and his voice metaphorically making you pregnant. Bam. Just like that.

[@sowhatphie]

I wish he would record it for Spotify!

[@whitebelle]

the fact he hasn’t recorded this version is a disgrace i need it

[@kt-eb8ey]

This is supermegafoxyawesomehot

[@tabbyspell5264]

I was ready to start singing the AVPS lyrics and then I was like “....wait”

[@user-hl7gi8ud2i]

He forgot them and nobody can convince me otherwise

[@classicalheroes8910]

@@user-hl7gi8ud2i look at the date, this is YEARS before AVPS

[@starryknight3479]

@@classicalheroes8910 its the same year as AVPS these are both from 2010

[@Awesomepedia]

Bless the crowd for not screaming all over this beautiful performance (like at every Darren Criss concert after this haha)

[@spillymcspillmore3426]

The fact that they adapted this song to fit Umbridge makes me even more impressed at how well it fit the musical. Definitely a tone shift, but that worked in their favor for that part.

[@MrAwesomeLlama1]

I wonder if he got Darren's text.

[@unirizz2x2]

I really wish he’d record this song!

[@thelivingsteel]

That's the impression I have too; when I heard it in the musical I really liked it but it stood out to me as something that could be its own song beyond the context of the show.

[@Grace-td5dd]

Because originally it was, they needed a last minute song so they edited it a bit for Umbridge

[@lene.m]

No, he wrote the song for himself, then used it in AVPM. And for the person recieving that feedback comment it may have sounded like yelling. So I just gave them a tip about maybe not using capslock in the future :)

[@emmakid5421]

AMAZING!!!!! but I still loved the umbridge versio.

[@ashtuatara]

I love when she dances with the dementors. :)

[@emmakid5421]

that part is soo funny!!! walker was perfect umbridge:D

[@mmbowkley]

i used to listen to this all the time and i just remembered this video for the first time in 10 years and it again makes me sad he never released an official version of it

[@WateverWatever04]

At the beginning, he kinda stuttered (lol, irony). Darren: Remember that, uh... Someone in the crowd: Remember that time... Darren: Remember that time (cont.) He always forgets his own lyrics! It's adorkable! :D

[@TigerPrawn_]

I think he was trying to find the right starting note 😆

[@tiny_megatron]

Why is everyone saying he got the lyrics wrong? The one from AVPS is just a different version isn't it?

[@aly5s1a]

Yeh, he wrote this before AVPS. They needed a song so they changed this and used it

[@karismakeeton1243]

he feels the music so much i love it

[@HufflepuffFinding]

"It's a curse word. I apologize. It's the market of kids these days." What he says in the beginning. Oh Darren.

[@inkcartridgerefill]

i love the pause before they applauded him. it was TOTALLY AWESOME!

[@sanahoda9341]

I love how he apologizes for the curse word its really cute

[@emilyannmeyer24]

O.O ........... whoa. and just when i thought he couldn't get any better. ♥

[@thegirlwholived7]

Darren, I would pay you so much for a studio recorded version of this song.

[@hlewis078]

Pretty sure he makes an awful lot of us melt, especially while singing and playing guitar or piano!!

[@ebg9286]

I think Darren should gift us a studio recording of this song for Christmas. Anyone else? :)

[@blackfiredragon5629]

ebproductions why you? Why not all of us?

[@dysmissme7343]

PLEASE!!!

[@007musicworld]

loooove this song and his voice ( and him, of course...)

[@ageiiGIRL]

He's playing guitar, he's singing, and he's sweating with passion. What more could you want from a guy?

[@singingstar56]

unnffff his voice, his arms, the way he added his own twist to this song makes me swwon.

[@ches6804]

I miss watching Darren perform!

[@smaointewildchild]

"Darren performs "Stutter". Apparently people like it." Best description I've read in a long time. :D

[@Wildflowersfield]

Can we petition that Darren release a studio version of this song on iTunes? I seriously want him to release this song and The Muse. The man's singing (and songwriting abilities) never fails to make me smile. :)

[@decsyr]

oh darren criss

[@TattoedKiss]

This Is the best versión of this amazing songs just bc there's no crazy fans screaming their lungs out

[@MissCharlyann]

There is no way he could be more perfect. Like. Dayum.

[@HuzzahAdorkableness]

this video is so important.

[@magictardis]

He is just so beyond freekin amazing!

[@lavisarts6585]

Darren is My religion

[@00shreds00]

seriously?!? how could anyone not love him!?!?

[@helenad.5177]

Bless the person who filmed this.

[@xxXsugarushXxx]

God, he is just so...GORGEOUS!!

[@ginnyj12]

I love watching his live performances because he actually takes a moment to think of the song he's gonna sing, making it seem more real.

[@RealDiabolicalEnergy]

HOW COULD I HAVE NOT HEARD THIS TILL TODAY!?!?!

[@F_YTB]

I will always love this song, the best part is that I have a music video for it in my head

[@Lilmarisa101]

Omg this one is soooo awesome! And thats becuz of Darren!!! I wuv you Darren!

[@tg7598]

I feel like have watched this vid too religiously

[@MarsBattyAngel]

Aaand my fav version of my fav song. Please sing this when you come in July!!

[@kayryn1743]

Was just thinking how awesome this live performance is, so simple and raw, and how nice it'd be to see it. THEN I REMEMBERED I AM ON THE 5TH ON JULY FFF.

[@TwoBrokenWyngs]

Darren Criss plays some SICK acoustic guitar. Amazing.

[@ornac9377]

ah shit i forgot about this fuckin video

[@Wildflowersfield]

@fictitiously Honestly, I'm with you on this one! I don't really find myself wanting to hear that word in songs, but when he says it... *melts*

[@amybendel247]

He pulled another darren doesn't know on us. Lyrics, darren doesn't know them. He can make it work though, not hating on darren, but it's hilarious how he always forgets his own lyrics, but still is amazing

[@captainneongryffindor8056]

Mike And Amy Bendel these lyrics are different to the ones in avps

[@classicalheroes8910]

This was years before AVPS, I think he wrote it for himself and just repurposed it tbh

[@Deader-Than-Dead]

@@classicalheroes8910 It was the same year.

[@IAmDraco96]

it's so adorable when he forgets the words...but it wouldnt be if it were anyone else...

[@laurenechelon8566]

He really needs to record this in the studio and put it on ITunes. I've got ET and this would just be epic in the studio! Love you Darren!

[@Ministf]

I love this video so much. There si no people babbling and you can hear him so good!! GREAT!!!

[@dodosan8]

He is SO attractive *.* Love his hair

[@Vita1892]

Ugh, this song! It's so angsty and so sexy and so intense, I don't even know how to describe it.

[@williamgowling847]

2/10: needed more backup dancing Dementors

[@emeliesvanberg8931]

No 10/10 it's darren criss 😍♡ dhu

[@TheNevilleFangirl]

i can't wait to tell gleeks not only that starkids had him first, but that i met him this summer at infinitus. i'm looking forward to the shocked looks i'm bound to get =]

[@LoserLizzy]

YES! This is amazing. he is amazing. His VOICE IS AMAZING. oh yes. Thank you for the totally awesome music, Darren.

[@lisanicoleXD]

the 3 people that disliked this are just jealous of darrens talent....

[@llamalacey]

He wrote this one first, they adapted it to put it in AVPS. :)

[@ruutsoni]

Everytime I hear or even see Darren, I have this urge to watch AVPM / AVPS again and again and again....

[@bonniezinck]

I don't know if we're looking at or talking about the same Darren, because Darren Criss has one of the foulest mouths I've ever heard. It's just one of the more adorable, real things about him.

[@jeanstephens9843]

i’ve been watching this over and over for the past few days and i can’t stop i don’t get tired of it

[@Wildflowersfield]

I absolutely love this song even more now that I've heard Darren sing it. Would it be too much to hope he releases this on an EP on iTunes? :D

[@Djellydonut]

I love how he tilts his head when he says "I don't like the way you act 'round me" at the beginning. It's adorable!!!

[@nikkivantland498]

he's sooo good!!!

[@aprlshowers]

Omg I could not stop thinking about Joe tromping around in the Umbridge costume singing this, its too funny!

aaaaa darren me faz felizzzzz

[@mrsboywiththebread]

this song is so different in the two different contexts. its so cool how versatile it is :) darrencriss love

[@ThistleFrost]

I love playing this on ukulele! It's definitely a different sound that the guitar, but so fun. Btw, the chords (repeated): F#m, E C#m, D. And then right before the chorus: C#

[@ssharkbait]

"Spare your convictions and the promises you keep. I've got a better proposition and the friction that you need." That line is so perfect.

[@AvigayilBatkhan]

That was amazing and I'm not okay

[@ellabooray]

This is such a good version.

[@werew3]

OMG he is perfection

[@tric430]

This song is totally kickass!!! Stutter, not alone, the muse, and human are my favorite Darren Criss originals

[@LollyLollypop13]

Love that he actually stuttered at the beginning of this :) I can't believe I only heard him sing this for the first time yesterday! I love this more than the AVPS version, his voice is so sexy -3

[@kiwi1721]

"it's the market of these kids today." hahaha it's impossible not to love darren, he's just too adorable lol.

[@seamistperson]

Fav version of this song

[@haleva3]

I still find it wierd, seeing Darren Criss on youtube like this, and in his homemade disney cover videos, and then seeing him on national television as Blaine on Glee! It's easy to think of celebrities as not real people. When the transformation from normal person to famous can be seen like this, it's rather inspiring. Good job Darren!

[@midnightsun926]

OMG I just had a tiny heart attack from the sheer awesomeness of this song

[@rmsoccerchick]

This is my favorite performance of his ever. I swear, I've seen this a hundred times.

[@Alicat2911]

Wow shit throwback

[@Marianne_L]

Darren just makes it so much... more. ♥

[@mrbobman34]

actually he adapted it to fit the AVPS just like he did with not alone in AVPM

[@kirmitiskool2]

his hair, his voice, his talent, his passion in what he's doing, his loveability factor (forgetting the words to a song he wrote) and him in general. wow

[@maisymoodles]

MAKE A STUDIO FRICKING RECORDING

[@caorgi]

Its impossible not to smile when watching/listening to Darren Criss

[@Rubatheva]

This song is awesome! :P

[@beautyfromagony]

I've been replaying this song for over an hour... Darren's voice is like a soft pile of feathers and I just wanna roll around in it. :D

[@chrisfernandes1144]

i miss the hair

[@murdertheilliterate]

this guy is seriously made out of win. I don't know how his body survives through the day without all his molecules reversing and imploding at the speed of light out of pure AWESOME. Mad guitar skills. If anyone has a better quality version, for the love of god, put it up. :)

[@Papaetmoi2000]

Fucking throwback

[@stefBeuk]

I LOVE that little vibration he's got. awesome song of course!

[@Everything.-Hertz]

I love this song, I love. Darren playing it, but nothing beats joe walkers version!

[@WeSparkAndFade]

why is he just SO FREAKING AMAZING

[@albertesolveigbkgaardmorte9356]

which version is this? it's not the one joe sings in avps?

[@InkSplatter]

Alberte Solveig Bækgaard Mortensen it’s the one he wrote originally; they adapted it for avps

[@ruutsoni]

Darren and his magical guitar makes my heart racing. Everytime! :)

[@wakataka99]

i just remembered that this is the video that made me fall in love with darren *stares doppily at screen*

[@thepurpleriddler]

I love this video because this was before everybody knew all the words so you can really hear Darren clearly. Thanks for posting :D

[@torimondello5458]

Anyone know the chords for this?

[@DucktorHu]

I don't know if the video or the comments are more entertaining. Things you guys write...pure hilarity.
