Darren Criss Sings The Killers, Whitney Houston, and Fall Out Boy | Song Association | ELLE

The ladies reign when it comes to the Song Association scoreboard... but can Darren Criss change that? The award-winning Glee alum stopped by - with his guitar in tow - for our first-ever, instrument-accompanied version of the game. Watch as he sings The Killers, The Beatles, and Fall Out Boy, all while strumming a (broken!) guitar.

[@helenbaines3376]

But I don't want him to have a bunch of fake fans because I love being a fan and then I would be mad and idek why😂 I also think that he is better than that. His performance in the assassination of Gianni Versace was absolutely amazing and to go from that to a most likely poorly made movie would be really sad. In my opinion but you know I'm just a child with not much knowledge so I'm probably wrong

[@kaylinmyrieberger4951]

No, hes way too good for that character😊

He was from Glee, he was obviously going to kill it

[@miacoss9809]

No he's from team starkid, glee was after

[@sixceroanim]

@@miacoss9809 True!

[@talissonjiujitsu3237]

He's so underrated ...very sad really! Darren should be huge like Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber !Af

[@karolane_moonwalker]

No not really. His voice is not that extraordinary. Actually he has the most banal voice you could ever heard, it's a simple voice. A good karaoke singer, that's all.

[@aanderson148]

He deserves everything. He deserves everything. He is so talented and fortunately he is receiving recognition. He has tons of talent. He was in glee and starred in shows on broadway, where not everyone arrives. His voice is beautiful, it is not common or simple. Anyway, it focuses more on acting for now and has won everything. From an Emmy, a golden globe, a critic, and a SAG. In addition to a nomination to the emmy for best original song. All that added to his beautiful heart and humility, is one of the few people in the show that really deserve admiration.

[@goodjobeli]

@@karolane_moonwalker Yeah but he's so talented he's got composer and acting credits as well, he should be bigger than Bieber just for that! The man's been on broadway multiple times ffs, you need a shit ton of talent to do the same show and give the same amazing performance 8 times a week!

[@elizahansen1777]

I feel like we need more than 8 minutes to fully appreciate darren criss and his music knowledge and overachievingness lol

[@briterry4961]

ok but Darren Criss singing I wanna dance with somebody cured my depression

[@merceang20]

Tht was unfair, he couldve used so fresh and so clean again bcuz they let the others do it.... BUT TO ME he won, i mean come on, the dude had a guitar despite the broken strings

[@cheesecakelasagna]

4:05 "I wanna dance with somebody who loves me... in way lower key than Whitney." LMAO

[@jayceewaa]

Refreshing to see a different setting and the guitar gave it that novelty. Nice one ELLE for the flexibility.

[@Pipa991]

I want him to do actual covers of all these song.. this was like porn, my god

[@asherschmidt9820]

Same here, loved it, _let's start a campaign_

[@booknerds9723]

Word= Love Me: I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love with Hermione Granger

[@miatyae5447]

YES!

[@inc0mpletedean353]

I was waiting for do do do HERMOINE CANT DRAW!!

[@vals8484]

I found it funny that he kept trying to play the string that was broken, it is just such a reflex knowing what your fingers SHOULD do, even if they can't because the string is missing. This was awesome, first one of this type I have seen, but I have to agree, if the song was started before the time ran out, he should get the point for the word. I also agree that using fresh and clean he should be able to use the same song, or you should have used a different word, because after using one like that it is harder to get it out of your head. and is it just me, or is he even more handsome then when he was on glee - wow...

[@mollybeth2505]

Honestly so proud that when heard ‘ Star ‘ he automatically sang Smashmouth AND ALL THE DISNEY SONGS UGH IM SO PROUD

[@itsT.N.]

*I'm still pissed, they did him dirty this one.. he's still KING tho.. he absolutely killed it. Wtf Elle sometimes you stop timers for other singers like what* 🙄

[@gennicles2200]

Y'all are really shady for not giving him hand. He actually had 13 points...
