Today Glee’s Darren Criss turns 28. Celebrate the best part of Glee’s birthday by enjoying his most soulful covers and smoothest duets. And remember Klaine shippers, there’s still time for a romantic ballad to come up this season.
1. When he sang a slow jam version of “Teenage Dream.”
Yes, it was a super sad moment, but the vocals were still on point.
2. When he got back-up for “Somewhere Only We Know.”
The Warbler outfit will always help.
3. When he sang “Not Alone” at Trevor Live.
Sing it Harry.
4. When he tapped into some Disney nostalgia with “I’ll Make a Man Out of You.”
Unfortunately he does not pepper it with any martial arts.
5. When he channeled his inner Cristina for “Reflection.”
Who is that girl Darren?
6. When he had a duet with Matt Bomer for “Someone That I Use to Know.”
I mean it was weird that they were playing brothers with that much sexual tension, but still…
7. When he made a grand romantic gesture with “When I Get You Alone.”
In context super creepy, but the song alone is cute.
8. When he went full train with “Hey Soul Sister.”
Side note-oh my god baby Kurt.
