Benj: I'm bringing out Darren Criss to make sure I don't mess this up DC: Messed up at the first line LOL these two are too adorable
@stephaniel2850 5 жыл бұрын
hehe, yeah, Darren was nervous too so he flubbed a couple lyrics xD (not that he's not prone to doing that in general- anyone who's ever seen him in concert knows he is lol, but in an actual theater production setting he always pulls through :P) Still freaking awesome and adorable though for sure!

Darren messes up on lyrics that he wrote himself so it's not surprising if he messes up someone elses

I love how the first two “waving through a window”’s are originally falsetto and the rest full voice, but here it’s the opposite. Great take on the original. Very different but I think if it was actually practiced it could be just as good.

@stephaniel2850 5 жыл бұрын
His falsetto is really pretty though, so... I don't mind? haha. I've noticed that every once in a while he will go for some too-high falsetto note choices that just don't quite land right and then he usually readjusts shortly thereafter to bring it down an octave, but I don't hear that happening here... I just hear airier but still controlled and pretty falsetto on the "waving" parts!
