[@sofiavilar7817]

It’s 2020 and I’m still so impacted with Darren in this scene. Blaine starting off okay, and then nearly breaking down not being able to stop his voice from trembling, and then rushing into the end of the song because he knows he won’t be able to stop himself from breaking down for too long. The way he shows that he feels absolutely horrible, that he doesn’t even recognize himself and wishes he could go back in time because he knows he’ll never forget himself for hurting the love of his life so badly. And it’s killing him because he knows how broken Kurt is going to be, and he also knows that he’s got all the right to be like that, and he is aware that he has screwed everything and lost his soulmate. He cannot believe that even though he was supposed to be the one that protects Kurt and reminds him that he is beautiful, talented, kind and loved, he was the one who hurt him worst.

[@seth1989rtv]

Right? Darren is a phenomenal actor.

He cheated but still we all can easily tell how much he loves him just by the way he looks at him :(

[@kelvinblair2151]

Kurt abandoned Blaine and stoped contacting him after a while. Eventually, after cheating on Kurt, Blaine couldn't take knowing if he and Kurt we're no longer a couple due to Kurt not talking to Blaine. So he went to Ney York to see him and when he knew they were okay he told Kurt via this song. Honestly, Kurts reaction to this is understandable but he never did listen to Blaine properly for 2 years and it's not till season 5 Kurt realises the pain he actually caused Blaine and what he actually went through.

[@natalie-cu3to]

Kelvin Blair you can’t blame the cheating on Kurt. Sure, he wasn’t the best boyfriend at times, but when they moved away from each other, they both knew that they were going to talk less. Kurt got his dream apprenticeship, and obviously Blaine didn’t know how to handle not talking to Kurt everyday. Like I said in another comment, Blaine is a very controlling individual, and was not able to withstand the pressure of not knowing where Kurt was and what he was doing, and that caused him to do the only thing he thought he could control, which was cheating. When they were breaking up, Kurt talks about his loneliness, and how he’s had temptations, and chose not to act on them. It’s Blaine’s toxic traits + underlying relationship issues + Kurt moving away that caused Blaine to cheat. Don’t get me wrong, I love Blaine, he’s one of my favourite characters, but people make him out to be some sort of teen angel (see what I did there?) and excuse him for things that were caused by his insecurities and flaws.

[@LAVANDER0496vio]

In real life, you can’t tell how much someone loves a person by the way they look at them.

[@_shayla_6561]

Kelvin Blair wasn’t Blaine one of the people that made Kurt go out and live his dream? He wanted Kurt to do that and when he got lonely and cheated, he blamed it on Kurt and said that Kurt wasn’t there, which makes no sense.

[@zippers987]

Blaine cheating was def out of character but this was a really good example of glee knowing how to use music and performance to communicate something not related to the meaning of the song at all. excellent performance from Darren Criss, it was such a beautiful cover but in his performance we can tell that something is wrong and he's using the music to 1. communicate that with Kurt and 2. apologize at the same time.

[@SuigetsuIsArt]

Darren is so talented. This being his own arrangement they allowed him to perform live on the show is already impressive enough, but when you see him perform TD live (with great emotion!) you still see the huge difference to Blaine performing it here live as he barely holds it together ... just wow. He really knows how to sell a song while staying perfectly in character. One of his best performances on the show. And man, do I miss Blaine!

[@bobbiems3154]

[@alliemackerty4962]

boy shoulda won the emmy for this performance. its been years and this still brings me to tears. so happy that the world finally realizes his talent!

[@mayz7970]

THE VOICE BREAKS AND THE LITTLE WAVERS I CRY EVERY FUCKING TIME

[@oliwkayay1199]

I am SO in love with this version. I mean, I love Katy, I used to listen her all day long when I was younger, but he's such a good and underrated singer and actor. You can see the pain in his eyes, his face, voice and attitude and it is really impressive and I wish I could see him in more movies, because there is full of really bad actors and he deserves everything he want. I probably sound like a crazy fangirl, but I am just so impressed by his talent. He is even perfect in real life, I am sure about that.

[@rumianaw3432]

+oliwka yay Oh my god I totally agree with you all the way!!!!

[@beatrizaimeeguedes1087]

I agree, he an amazing actor

[@jackrobinson9403]

@Jazmyn 777 Hes on American Crime Story who shot VIcachi and he was amazing in that in a very different way, he shows he can change his appearance and become different people multiple times throughout it

[@laurabayonamiranda6552]

this is insane, every time i watch this i cry a lot. blaine will always be the best character in Glee

[@seth1989rtv]

right! Followed by Santana, Kurt and Brittany!

[@miyannajones3151]

So true

[@cannibalcake2]

I really wish that THIS version (the live version with the shaky vocals and all) was available for download.

[@tessacanterbury8935]

I bawled my eyes out at this scene. Klain is life at least for me in Glee. The fact he sang the song that made them fall in love the moment they met; made it an even bigger blow to my heart when it was the song he sang to brake them up too. They will always be my favorite couple on any TV show I watch because the are the reason I started shipping in the first place. When Blaine sang this song to Kurt when they first met I have never smiled the most in my life especially for a TV couple.

[@tessacanterbury8935]

By Klain I meant Klaine.

[@msagathe1977]

me too !!!

[@bria6777]

You and I are one siesta.

[@LaurokaPlay]

oh god I agree with everything you just said same same same

[@vedomcjosey8112]

[@aurapelfini1005]

Blaine stop crying!!! I'm crying too :(

[@taurie55]

this always makes me cry too

[@kekenaniwilson6138]

blaine expresses emotion so well and it makes me feel better when im depressed. especially when he sang raise your glass i cried bcuz it hit harder than that song ever did without him singing it

[@kr-tb9lq]

This is my favorite rendition of Teenage Dream ever. Darren just nailed it!

[@demeko96]

This performance doesn't make me cry but it makes me want to marry him. Totally.

[@Natalie-sx7gi]

+demeko96 SAME HERE, SAME HERE, I FEEL YOUR PAIN.

[@kamypizarro9513]

+demeko96 SAMEEEEEEEE

[@NTonks-xn4tv]

demeko96 Le sigh

[@angelarobertson2668]

demeko96 makes me cry and want to marry him

[@isabellafimbres5855]

It makes me cry

[@iracortes1209]

1:46 they had to zoom in Blaine's face

[@fireflygracie2509]

2019 and I still come back to this. one of those most powerful scenes in that show, and Darren's emotion while portraying it was truly amazing.

[@kyrieherrera1208]

When it’s 2020 and you’re still coming back to listen to the best cover ever

[@11ajramos1]

Absolutely the best cover I've ever seen. Gives a whole other meaning to the song and you feel every word and the pain. This was great acting but even better singing. OMG!!!

[@tonirivera3693]

I think I'll forever be obsessed with this cover

[@miatyae5447]

It is now 2020 and I still come back to watch this.

[@francescamassei7897]

It's impossible not to cry😭 Blaine's pain and Kurt's face when he realizes what's going on always make me cry. They are both great and talented actors

[@muniraqandah6339]

I'm crying so hard, He literally put so much emotions while singing this. 💔

[@moritagomezbieber]

2:21 "in my skin tight jeans..." He couldnt speak. You can really feel his pain in this version. Bravo for Darren for making this amazing performance

[@amyh1755]

2019 and still shattered by this

[@sofyizle]

Darren sang this with so much emotion I will never get over this version of the song 🥺

[@Lana-mr5yl]

is nobody talking about how amazing he is live

[@matthewbrown1202]

this makes me so sad to see the happiness in kurt's eyes and the regret in blaine's... he knows that he cheated and yet seeing kurt so happy knowing that he cheated SHOOTS ME IN THE HEART ;-;

[@jordanodwyer6552]

The hurt and desperation hits me EVERY TIME!!!! It's been a decade and I am still crying!

[@jordanodwyer6552]

Balling again 🤕

[@iloveanythingfantasy]

This performance always brings me to tears. The raw and amazing acting between Darren and Chris, the symbolism, the live singing that showcases Darren’s amazing talent. He is so talented and I can’t believe how much I cried during this scene.

[@Toscalily]

I can still remember Darren all those years ago in a Very Potter Musical, watching him blossom into this incredible actor has been such a pure pleasure. He is so under used as an actor in Hollywood. This is the most heart wrenching scene, there has to be a part of him that's not even acting for him to be capable of this. I think the faces of all the other Glee actors might not actually be them acting either, they actually look like they didn't expect to see this and where the hell is it coming from?! Amazing job, just amazing. Soul distroyingly amazing.

[@BonesandBooth92]

That moment when Kurt realizes something is horribly wrong...*sobs

[@Jetstreamhustla]

His acting is spectacular cause he’s feeling this performance

[@nicholaspaterson]

It's 2023 and i'm still coming back and watching this masterpiece.

[@itswednesdaymydudes5690]

You could see the exact spot at 1:06-1:08 when Blaine looks away at the turn me on, line and Kurt can tell something is wrong.

[@d34d_t04d]

What happened

[@misaamane8854]

Mac C. Blaine cheated on Kurt

[@funniesmiles]

I just saw Darren perform this live today and I lost it. I think I can die happy now.

[@AshBash1824]

When Kurt realizes it just breaks my heart so much

[@aliceeve6421]

Blaine starts singing faster: I sob Kurt's confused Pikachu reaction shown: I sob faster Saw Cory: I think I just flooded my house....

[@lennardvillasenor5151]

I appreciate the fact that Criss suggested to Ryan Murphy if they ever write do a break up scene, that he do a solo rendition with just the piano, reprising the first song introducing the Blaine character to the Glee story arc. This was done in one take and is both well acted and well performed. Ryan Murphy has made so many great decisions with this series and has given many of the break out stars a lot of input with story arcs and flexibility with side projects. Kudos for that. I am curious to see what Criss will do after the completion of the series.

[@dianagrinberg9603]

This makes so much sense, Blaine sang this specific song because it's the first song he sang to Kurt and although the Warblers are great Blaine's raw version is so much better

[@kyla8897]

This song was filmed live on set so if you think about it, this was kind of a blind reaction for the rest of the cast

[@annatimberlake7]

Not for kurt,finn and rachel I mean actors knew they had to act like something was wrong with blaine

[@belhlv]

Blaine: "THE love of my life"
