THIS IS NOT FAIR HOW IS HE THAT GOOD AT PIANO AND GUITAR AND SINGING AND, LIKE, EVERYTHING

[@kristinf1770]

The panic

[@marcielaw8962]

bitsandpiecesofbeauty save some talent for the rest of us Darren jeez

[@ItsYourDistraction]

Those girls faces are so intense. Cracks me up.

[@morganekhai2218]

Really appreciate the crowd is calm so we can hear him sings and its so great. I saw a lot of him lives and most of the times I couldnt here his voice well. Loving this song. It feels like every girl can relate to it

[@samsingsthings]

I love how the mic is just like 'nope. Your voice is way too powerful for a loser like me! I will buzz now.'

[@prettyxfreaky]

yes babe, you're the coolest girl

[@toubiejack]

Omg the girl with pink sunglasses at 2:06 to 3:09 is so me. Just sitting there crying, singing along to the lyrics and struggling to breathe

[@sarahelyse8325]

yes darren! i love this song and i LOVE that he didn't change the word "girl" or any pronouns

[@queencharlotte525]

carn't get enough of his lyrics , he just seems to always have so much heart to everything he writes

[@efkaservicegirl]

This video is utter Darren perfection. He's playing piano. He's wearing his glasses. He's singing Starkid. And he cusses. It doesn't get anymore perfect than this.

[@Katielizc22]

As much as I love Starship I can't help thinking that on broadway it just wouldn't be the same without our beloved Starkids! They're the people that make the shows what they are and to use a different cast would be kinda strange.

[@AussiePupz]

His enthusiasm just makes me smile like an idiot. It's so adorable.

[@laerugo]

his best performance of the song, hands-down. his vocals are so strong at the end...

[@LittleMissMusicals_26]

I wish I was there. He's my idol. I love him ❤️

[@pixelsnotdreams2914]

i love that he didn't change the pronouns holy shit

[@lissa28]

I can't handle this video. He's 1) Singing 2) Wearing glasses and 3) Playing the piano. IT'S TOO MUCH. I'M DEAD.

[@justajellybean]

Every time I hear this song I want to cry because I feel like it's my anthem. -_-

[@IidoliseJohnnyDepp]

I thought the piano was going to break under his passion for music

[@katiewar1141]

Yes Darren, You are the coolest girl :DDD (totally awsome men and voice too) !!!

[@draaagonite]

Is being so overwhelmed with emotion that you just start sobbing and whispering to yourself 'you are the coolest girl darren' a normal reaction to watching this

[@DinoNinjaWizard]

I actually can not get over how amazingly beautiful this song is

[@InesJosie]

Did anyone else realize that in almost every video he has 3 bottles of water standing near him

[@sammyoly6970]

Omg yes...👌

[@ThatGuitarGirl2]

Darren, you are the epitome of a red vine: sweet, irresistible, not to mention attractive. And what the hell can't you do?!?!? Seriously, I want to know.

[@JavaDebo]

Darren teaching 'cry cry cry'. He said he wanted to be a teacher if he's not an actor.

[@paulafleites3682]

look at the girl who sits at 1:53 , she is just like ´´I want to be like him´´. Also at 1:26

[@fanpire1391912srdjb]

Yes Darren you are definitely the coolest girl;)

[@hauntedgummybear]

GUYS I CANT HE'S TOO GREAT

[@meteorofedwardssky]

Oh my GOD..... his absolute BEST performance of Coolest Girl I've ever heard. Darren, you magnificent beast. I'm speechless.

[@Bbodysplash]

well it's easy to pick out the starkids in the crowd

[@germandarling123]

Besides Darren's sexiness, adorability, voice, looks, charms (I could go on and on), he's also a freakin awesome guitar and piano player! Everytime I see a video of him singing and playing an instrument i sit there with my jaw open and shaking my head because of his awesomness. He just seems so passionate about it and totally loves what he's doing... And that's like supermegafoxyawesomehot....

[@katiekustron4391]

Why can't Darren come to my school and sing for my class?

[@LittleMissMusicals_26]

Ikr

[@imadethisforict]

I absolutely LOVE how he sings songs regardless of whether or not they were made for/originally sung by femailes.

[@CarpeDiem262]

u go darren u r the coolest girl

[@helenbieberxx]

Darren is so amazingly amazing

[@MaxRide714]

Darren in glasses just does things to me...

[@LaurokaPlay]

wow i just went on a journey to find my comment from 3 years ago on this video. depressing. nostalgia.

[@dutchenterprises4289]

How’s that nostalgia now?

[@rachunicornsinst]

"...Than this frizzy hair, these frumpy *coughs* -Ackha-... Clothes I wear!" Marry me Darren?

[@carebear122196]

Its Sad How Much I Love This Song

[@Shayjana]

the way they all sit or stand there as if he were a god ... priceless

[@KatyJanex]

If Starship was being made into a Broadway Production I'd audition even though I don't even live in America.

[@CentaurNettle25]

I cannot explain why I'm crying.... I'm putting it down to the amazing voice, and the supermegafoxyawesomehot person it belongs to

[@Buttercup8010]

That note he hits at the end.... I die a little eveytime I hear it

[@WhatAboutJacob804]

I'm 100% jealous of every single person in that audience.

[@SNiCKERZ185]

First of all any guy that can sing "I am the coolest GIRL" is freaking awesome and two anybody who can cough in the middle of a song and look cute doing it is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

[@candyschmandy]

i just started jamming with him randomly cuz i somehow know if he heard me he wouldnt critisize me whether i stunk or not. im so jealous of those kids, and wish i could have been there, even just to thank him for making a believer out of me.

[@ObsessedwithBroadway]

I couldn't stop grinning like an idiot through this whole video... I'm in love!

[@BekkaC]

theres something just...facinting about him, like i could watch him play for hours, not just cos hes supermegafoxyawesomehot or insanely talented just...theres something, cant keep my eyes away i 'less that three' Darren Criss x3

[@kutiepi97]

I love him!! I think that it's really great that he isn't ashamed to song a girls song!! Go Darren!! :)

[@fashionfrenzy23]

it looks like hes like this god of a teacher and all his pupils are like "yes, whatever you say, yes, you ARE the coolest gilrl in the whole wide world."

[@isingfashion]

Is it sad that I started crying because he's so beautiful and amazing?

[@TwilightGeeks109]

Does anyone else think he is just supermegafoxyawesomehot when he wears glasses 8) love itt!!!

[@darrencrissfan100]

he makes my heart go weak....

[@cgIris18]

Oh Darren, you definitely are the coolest girl!

[@hannahmfinn]

He is so amazing!

[@SavannahWood1340]

woo...that vein darren...yeahh!!

[@rayenevinluan]

love the piano playing...love him!!

[@linlovesthedoctor]

I would not have been able to sit through that as calmly as those kids. I'd be spazzing out or drooling.

[@mdgroxx11]

hahaha...this made me giggle. you make me happy darren...

[@izzosings101]

He is so amazing!!!

[@me2drescue]

oh darren criss y do u have 2 b soo perfect??!!!!

[@Buttercup8010]

Holy shit! He has a voice like a beautiful fast train....you know it's going to hit you but you just don't want to stop it!!!

[@sexypancake1]

Woooo! I love that piano key slide at 2:42. So cool.

[@littlerickery]

Also that was freaking mindblowing

[@lalalaabbs]

I cried.

[@TheManjaNetter]

Those LUCKY people in the background.....

[@eseid5]

he is soooo talented!!!

[@ilikemnms202]

Like I know about Joey Richter, but I knew nothing about Lauren or Jaime. Airport for Birds is still Starkids though so it's still not out there. Like they have so much talent that's so under appreciated, they should be having lead roles in movies, or tv shows, they should be people that you can say their name and everyone can recognize it, like my phone background is Darren Criss and everyone recognized him but if I put it as Joe Walker no one would.

[@TCMRMCfan14]

Darren

[@Awsomenessification]

who else could make messing up during performances so gosh darn cute!!!

[@ArielKirst]

I loved watching the girl in the front row with the stripey socks. her face is so awe-struck, it's hilarious.

[@missa21]

[@BrynneForrest]

[@StephyDee89]

LOL at his mid-lyric cough. He made it so dramatic. XD I love love LOVE this song, and the fact that Darren's wearing glasses somehow fascinates me. Ask me why and I won't tell you, because I simply just don't know. haha

[@Anna63048]

Wow very impressed by Darren's piano skills. You go DARREN!!!

[@TheAboutLastNight]

Yeah Darren, you really are the coolest girl in the world:)

[@deborafelton]

[@lewisjevons]

these few video's are the only of darren criss where you haven't got the fucking screaming going on throughout...they actually LISTENED and applauded when he'd finished! a proper audience!

[@searchlight12]

What I would give to be there at that very moment.

[@KlaineHummelson]

Okay. I am Very excited now... Thanks for the news! :D x

[@DowneyUnder]

I love that you filmed this from a few angles and went through the trouble to combine them all and create this lovely video as well as the rest of Darren's performances which you uploaded. Really hope you'll also post the Q&A portion of his visit at some point, I'm sure many many people would greatly appreciate it. I certainly will. Thank you very much!

[@fizzywizzy2006]

some of the girls look like they are about to faint! i'm right there with them!

[@searchlight12]

My new favorite song. Someone get me the piano music cause thats awesome!

[@Buttercup8010]

"There's so much I know how to do, so much more than all of you" *Playful glare at the audience*

[@missmusicaly]

OMG

[@shilomiloproductions]

@ParamorePotter61 I do have footage of the Q and A session, but that will be posted at a later time.

[@randomgal13]

@TheWorldHarry he taught himself :) he's taught himself all the instruments he's learnt except for violin! (piano, guitar, cello, mandolin, harmonica, kazoo and there's even rumors he can play didgeridoo!). yeah, he's pretty damn AMAZING!

[@LilikoiLuv]

These are such lovely videos. Thanks so much for sharing! Would you happen to have footage of Darren working with the students? I would love to see them interacting and working with Darren. Thanks!

[@Radcliffe19]

he said Bitch in front of all the little girls! hahaha love the glasses! this man oh my

[@musiicmasterrr]

DAMN IT! He's just too freaking awesome. I'm not going to try and make this long, drawn-out comment about how awesome he is, because you just can't really put it into words. So there. I leave you with this.
