I don't think I would like him as Aladdin. While he does have some POC in him, he does also have white passing privilege and I am a firm believer that POC characters should be played by POC people. But maybe as like a new Disney prince he could be hella cool.

Acoustic covers of Disney anthems has been Darren's thing for a long time... And this blew me away. I respect him so much as a musician. And the fact that he is singing my favorite... Totally awesome.

Darren's voice is like magic pixie dust and everything he sings becomes beautiful, inspirational and MAGIC!!Thank You God for Darren Criss!!

This reminds of AVPM and the Disney cover days. I hope he goes back to those days when Glee officially ends

Darren did such a nice job here. It would be wonderful to see him on stage again, hopefully for a longer run than the three weeks he had in “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.” That was January 2012, nearly three years ago! I’m sure people have been talking to him, now that Glee is finishing filming. He just needs to match the right production with his talent.

I am super happy and excited that Darren is where he is today, as a Starkid I am so proud of him. I do have to admit however that I miss the days when he was all ours.

It is so great to read all these nice comments without angry gleeks hating on everything. He has an amazing voice!

Darren did a beautiful job. He made me a little emotional though. :) I'm so proud of everything he has done. I am very proud to be his fan.

Gorgeous, just gorgeous!!! Darren's voice here is amazing!!!! Oh, 4 dislikes?! Thanks hermione!

Darren has such a beautiful voice. This is absolutely perfect. He'd be a fantastic Aladdin. Such talent!

Darren's voice is perfection!! He really is a natural performer!!(:

Just melting *.*

We are so proud of our boy.

This is SO good. Darren needs to do Broadway again!

One of my favorite songs from Disney!!!! And I LOVE Darren singing it

This video never gets old to me. I could listen to his voice on loop all day. This song is beautiful and Darren Criss is beautiful so it's perfect.

Darren, you are the best . 🔝

that voice. its so soft and beautiful. so full of emotion. gosh golly

this is the prettiest thing i've ever seen

How can people be so perfect it's so not fair

Proud of your boy I'll make you proud of your boy Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma You're in for a pleasant surprise I've wasted time I've wasted me So say I'm slow for my age A late bloomer Okay, I agree That I've been one rotten kid Some son, some pride and some joy But I'll get over these lousin' up Messin' up, screwin' up times You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part Someone's gonna make good Cross his stupid heart Make good and finally make you Proud of your boy Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer You won't get a fight here, no ma'am Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good But that couldn't be all that I am Water flows under the bridge Let it pass, let it go There's no good reason that you should believe me Not yet, I know, but Someday and soon I'll make you proud of your boy Though I can't make myself taller Or smarter or handsome or wise I'll do my best, what else can I do? Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you Mom, I will try to Try hard to make you Proud of your boy

This is perfection. His voice is so gorgeous.

He would make the perfect Aladdin!

His voice has improved so much over the years! Don't get me wrong it has always been fantastic but it's gotten better. his voice is much smoother now, like the notes come with such ease.

This guy has so many special emotions that he pushes into his voice and Expression which makes him the most perfect Human Being in the ALL WORLD . I believe in him and in every talent he got , he is simply outstanding . And exciting . and beautiful in every single way a man can be . i feel super happy watching him.

It would be an excellent move to bring Darren in as Aladdin for a run after Adam Jacobs leaves. I plan to see the show this summer but will DEFINITELY see it again to see Darren!! I saw Jane Lynch in Annie but have yet to see Darren in a Broadway show! Love him and everything he stands for!

Darren + Disney = Magic:)

Still my favorite cover! 😍

When I first heard proud of your boy my immediate thought was that Darren would be amazing doing this. It was fate

DARREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!! You'are amazing, your voice is beautiful, PERFECTIONNNNNNN

Very good interpretation .. gets every ounce out of the lyric

This song I just loved it! Is one of the best ones in the Aladdin Broadway show. I'm really dying to see this show! Looks amazing!

His voice is just perfection! He needs to go back on Broadway! 😍😍

Ugh what an angel

OH MY GOD Darren covered this??? :D My day has just been made

Mon dieu. Je l'aime tellement. France love you Darren 💞🇫🇷

wow. speechless.

Beautiful! I got a little teary eyed there ❤

Lol I was watching this vid (with headphones on) waiting outside my classroom for my class to start when my friend snuck up behind me and screamed so loud and was like "OMG IT'S DARREN CRISS!!!" and it startled me (and I think a few other people too) to where I spilled my drink practically all over me. Not fun, but I plan to get her back. Now that I think of it, it's a pretty funny moment :P

Oh Darren sei stupendo!Bravo!!

i want darren criss to voice the next disney prince, and SIING

Darren and Disney will forever be the most flawless combination

Tyler Oakley I bet you already saw Darren Criss singing this but here you go XD

I love Darren Cris

Oh gosh. I love Darren and I love this song. Thank the lord for this video. CAN I BUY THIS?

Beautiful ....

Darren is so perfect

How does Darren keep making covers of my favorite songs? And I'm only finding them now- It's LIKE HE COVERS EVERYTHING- anyways sorry for my fangirling I just think this is a nice cover. Thank you Disney, Thank you Darren, thank you Broadway. ^^ that's it I'm done now. Oooh- thx to whoever posted this video and who filmed the video.

Beautiful

This brings back so many memories!!!

His voice is so beautiful, he needs to get back to Broadway now!!!!!!!

This song makes me cry it's so beautiful 😍❤😭

Bravo !!

My heart just died. This is the most beautiful cover. ❤️

Oh man! I've been waiting for him to sing this song. It suits his voice perfectly.

I miss his music.... love Darren!

Disney covers. That is where it all started. That's when I first fell in love with his voice. That is where his journey started.

Gosh, if Disney put him in their production of Aladdin on Broadway I'd go see it like 5 times! XD

It feels like yesterday when he was uploading Disney covers on KZread right from his bedroom. He has come so far and we couldn't be more proud of him! This is beautiful in every single way. Someone PLEASE just take him back to Broadway! p.s. 4 dislikes? THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT JAFAR!

Disney, Can you please put this for sale on iTunes? I would definitely buy it!!!

How come he's not in any of Disney Broadway musicals? I would have thought he would be in Broadway version of Newsies.

Amazing, just as I knew it would be. Such talent.

Darren is the best! ! Im proud of him

I hope he releases a cd of his own soon. Better yet a cd of disney covers please

My two favorite people singing this song, Carlos Pena and Darren Criss

I choked on my water when i saw this omgggg

The show is great ! Have another terrific twenty.

Love this song.. and love him! :)
