This version is way better than the original !

I love how he changes the song each performance, in a way, no performance is ever the same when he performs. I love that about him, he so good!!.

I love this song in this version, I'm so addicted to it

Well it's official, anyone who listens to Darren's amazing voice falls in love with him. Exhibit A: 2:51 (The guy)

Just because of this guy, I have heard this song more times than I can count and probably more times than ANY OTHER SONG I have ever heard. LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my God ! His alteration of the second verse just completed my life!

Everything this man does just makes him more TALENTED SEXY AMAZING AWESOME PERFECT. He's a great talent, an endearing advocate, a passionate artist and an all-around good guy. It's so very difficult to not be infatuated with him.

2:49 the girl host is totally falling in love with Darren and the guy... LOL

I love it how he changes the song during each performance. No performance is ever the same when Criss sings~. That's what I love about him, he's so unpredictable, different renditions of Teenage Dream, he keeps the song fresh every time

I love that he makes every cover of a song he does different, each time he sings it. He never sings a song the same way twice.

I could not imagine anyone as perfect as this ...

Without a doubt the best version of this song I've ever hear.

I watched his show yesterday and he sang this as the last song. :) He's such a charming & talented performer. Seriously.

Darren Criss moves me

Live vocals are the BEST 💕💕

my heart stops when you look at me

It's amazong to see the differences between this version and the one he made on glee. this one is so Darren. Both amazing though (:

this is my favourite version of him singing this song EVER

I love he does this song. # 1 on iTunes!

*Shivers*. He's amazing, I love him. =)

I sort of met him (?). After his show, I went up to the stage (but I didn't have a meet-and-greet pass and we were 2 meters away) and started waving at him for around 10 minutes. He did not look. So I joined forces with other girls and we all shouted "Darren!". Nada. Finally, my brilliant friend called out his name in a REALLY low and manly voice. Then he looked. Since my friend was right behind me, he saw me first. I waved and smiled. And he waved and smiled back. It was magic.

Gossshh soo liking this!! Why can't there be a Loooove, amazed and stunned button!

i would have been honoured to be in this audience!!!!!

Me enamoreeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!, he is so cute and his voice is great

Addicted w/ this vid. It's awesome how Darren made this song his own. Wonderful chord changes.

Yes you are so right. I could hear it a thousand times :))

this will always be the cover he does that makes my insides tingle.

A man can`t look and sound so perfect. He must have major flaws. But i don`t want to know what. Keep the magic going.

I think i'm in luv with darren right now

2:49 The host falling in love with Darren :)

i just noticed a lot of girls can't help but smile everytime they see him perform. and i thought i was crazy, oh Darren you have no idea how cute and adorable you're when you sing

All i can say is WOW. Im officially I love with Darren Criss. Lol

I got chills. Period

Darren Criss you wonderful, beautiful genious...

3 minutes, 37 seconds of heaven....

I love how much emotion he put into this.:):)

Him And his head movement kill me each time ..💚💚

I loved his performance last night! :>

your HARRRNDS on me AW! my mouth is on the floor

This guy is just too awesome for words. I think I like this version the best

I think he changed it up each time he sings the song. lol. i love it.

Oh dear god... It's not fair that one person is so talented. This man is amazing.

EVERYBODY loves his voice ! Are you serious !? He has the most perfect voice God has ever given a human being !

I melt inside when i hear this version of the song. I swear, I've listened to it so many times that I hear it over katy perry on the radio, and I play it in my head when I'm having a bad day.

Love those versions... what wouldn't I do to see him LIVE...

HIS VOICE IS GODLY! AND HE IS DARREN CHRISS!...LOVE HIM!

Im Literally drooling over my redvines

aw he was nervous. you can hear it in his voice. soooo adorable.

I find myself unable to listen to the normal tech-ed out version after listening to this. The live version is so much more soulful, so much more Darren.

he's so inspiring.

I'm proud that I know him way before his glee appearance! :))

Yes, let's. All the way, Darren, all the way.

i am in love with this man ahhhhhhhhh :D

Omg best live preformance ever !!!

I am in love with him

i'm so in love with him

i'm crying, when i hear this. it's so.. awesome!

*Is curently melting into a puddle from the supermegafoxyawesomeness of it all*

I always cry when he sings this hes so amazing x

1:26... the only thing wrong with this performance..... i love this song, it's Klaine's song!

How did those two girls look so bored?!?!?! If that was me I'd be in tears! Like what even? Are they not affected? I didn't think it was possible to not be. I mean come on. Darren freaking Criss.

incredible

That big grumbly 'hands on me' at the end caused me to listen to it about 5 more times

I'm in love...

Buenisima canciòn,se escucha muy bien en esa version! :D

I love his spin on this song, really quite lovely. I've been looking for this video forever now and I was not disappointed :)

A piano, a song which give extraordinary musicality. =)

don't know what to say ... just WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!!!

He is so amazing:) I love his version of this song! It is just incredible! Ahhh. I love him. He is totally awesome. And hahahah those girls' expressions at 1:43 were the EXACT same as mine when I saw him at the Mint and the Roxy. :)

Teenage dream always sounds different every time he sings it... and i love all his versions of it.

Multiple Darren-gasms throughout the whole song! Gosh how can he be so sexy and sound so awesome while he sings?? I think I need a doctor now, because I was exposed for too long to the Darren, I mean..the Sun!

OMG........ nuff said

Love him!!!!!!!

1:39 what can I say? it's just like... idk... just Darren :) oh, btw, best teenage dream version EVER!

YESSS! GOOD QUALITY! THANK YOU :D:D

I can't wait to see this guy in 3D (:

he is really great when he sings slower like this!

this performance freaking makes me swoon.

The Break-up versión ❤❤❤ this always break muy heart

I don't know about you but I get chills when Darren performs! Hahaha he's I'd absolutely amazing and talented! Lol I'm surprised those people were calm when he performed XD

1:27 -1:40 OMG! I just fell even more in love with him, i didnt even know that was possible!

Darren Criss is awesome Who agrees

omg he put the theme of Klaine in himself YES!

3:05 How can they be so calm when darren Criss is performing?!

3:20 oh gosh totally died right there

I loooooooove his growl at 3:21

so he did the acoustic version,even before glee.that just makes it sooo much better!!!!

can't stop laughing at the guy at 2:51 :') and the woman is so falling for him ;)

CHILLSS

My heart fell and my sounds are on mute...Darren why so hot?

Je suis amoureuse ♥ OMFG. Je me promet qu'un jour ne pleurerai pas en l'écoutant ^^

I love how everyone in the audience is smiling broadly :) I am too.

through the whole performance i was glued to the screen and just focussing on darren at how talented and sexy he was, i wasn't or anything just plain focussed (i know a little creepy) well anyway as soon as they showed that guy staring i burst out laughing so hard i swear a little pee came out. seriously, now everytime i think about this guy i burst out in giggles!!! (which causes a couple of stares from the people in the same room as me)

@CrazyconfusedAmanda7 i think they're just stunned by awsomeness and amazingness that darren is.

2:51 esta cara es epica!! El muchacho esta como: el es mucho mejor que yo! .___. XD jamas lo podre superar XD

he can do no wrong

I fell.......in love and in my chair when I heard his sexy voice:)
