I know I'm going to get beep for saying this, but I totally agree with you. Darren is most definitely not the best from the AVPM, AVPS cycle. He in fact annoyed me so much in AVPM, that I was hesitant to watch AVPS. Thank god for the redeeming actors, Joey, Joe and Lauren. They were incredible. I don't care if they don't want TV fame. Don't give it to someone who is considerably less talented than the three aforementioned people.
Team Starkid for the win. -

You have to understand, that all I have to go off of with Darren is his performances in AVPM/S. It just seemed like he was trying too hard. Plus, I just didn't not enjoy watching him sing. It was obviously a character choice, but it was one I didn't like. I'm not saying that other people should agree with me. This is purely my opinion. This being said, I do have to admit that his performance on Glee surprised me. He did an INCREDIBLE job. I understand Glee, I understand the fact that it is a show about singing. That was kind of obvious from the get go. I just did not enjoy Darren in AVPM/S. Not everyone has to. (I appreciate you not patronizing me, and asking me to support my opinion instead of just calling me an idiot. It's nice to see that in the world.
For the record, < that wasn't sarcasm.) -

the ridiculous thing is that as far as I know, Darren NEVER said he was the best. he is not famous cause he is the best, or if you can even define that. I love him cause of how silly and fun he seems. I also love the other starkids actors. I may not have an opinion cause people seem to act like anyone who knows darren from glee doesnt have as much right to him or whatever, but i think thats silly. Darren has even stated in interviews that he is the same guy and loves all fandomes equally so why do people start fights about this? In MY opinion, he is a great singer, attractive, good dancer, upbeat, friendly and an okay actor. That is all. And if you dont want him all over your tumblr feed.. dont follow the people, its that simple. Im sorry for ranting, I just get annoyed when people act like darren sucks and say they have more of a right to him.what? Also, what is wrong with people loving Darren? Im sure if Joey wanted the same amount of stardom, darren would introduce him to the 'right' people. Darren even said it was all a lucky fluke that he made in on to glee and his appreciation to the fans make him all that more amazing. Sorry again and I dont meet to start problems. Just stating my opinion, which i know may be wrong and thats cool. I respect other people stating theres, I just wanted to state my own, have a nice day. And if anyone wants links to the interviews or statements ive mentioned, id be more than happy to comply. Starkid is amazing btw

Darren was one of the best singers and THE best mainstream singer (and that isn't a bad thing, the others just have broadway voices) so him being on Glee is good. I did think his acting wasn't so great at times, but it wasn't so awful it couldn't be corrected. Not to mention that he friggin' wrote the songs which I'm sure you must know. He's a talent, no doubt. He deserves this.
I met Cinderella once she's actually kind of a bitch. -

Cinderella is kind of a bitch. Haha. And I do have to agree. I said less talented, looking back, it was clearly a horrible choice on words. And he definitely deserved it, no doubt about that, especially after that INCREDIBLE performance last night. I guess for me, I didn't enjoy Darren as much as the others, and he seemed overdone in the PM PS cycle. But I definitely do agree with anyone that says that he was UNBELIEVABLE on Glee.

Hell, I like Joe Walker way more than Darren Criss, but come on, Darren Criss totally deserves this! He is really talented, and I am very happy for him! I'm sure the others will also get a breakthrough someday if they want to. But why cant we be happy for Darren as well?
Don't take everything so seriously

OP - calm down. You're acting like an obsessive ex.
More fans of Starkid means more productions in the future. But obviously you should be involved to handpick fans to make sure they're "worthy" or liking Starkid
Seriously though, Darren is incredibly talented - as is the entire Starkid cast (and for that matter, the entire cast of Glee - like the show/actors or not, they're all very talented). He is obviously one of the standouts, along with Joe, Joey, and Lauren, so instead of whining about Darren's success, you should be happy for him - like, I'm sure, the rest of his friends at Starkid are. They all deserve big careers, and the fact that one of them is making it really says something about Team Starkid in general. So get over yourself.
Also, it's not
only
about singing voice. There are many technicalities that go into choosing cast members for the show. You can't audition if you can't sing, but singing isn't all of it. The fact is that Darren fit whatever criteria they were looking for in addition to having an incredible voice.
Your trolling, OP, over Team Starkid is really quite embarrassing to the rest of us fans.

I'm a 30 year old single mom and only found out about A Very Potter Musical because I did a search on Darren. I don't spend my time trolling around YouTube looking for parodies and such. If it hadn't been for Darren being so good on Glee (who btw has a massive fan base that you might not want to tick off by saying we're band wagoners) I wouldn't have looked at all. Gleeks around the world have brought a lot of life to ITunes every Tuesday. Be grateful for the mass of views the Starkids are gonna get and stop your whining about how popular it's getting. This isn't about selling out garage band style. For heavens sake its a parody of an already wildly popular children's/young adult book and movie series! It's not Niche or Homer. It's for FUN.

Okay I agree with you to some extent. I think it's not cool of the people who pretend to be Darren's biggest fan and only found out about him a month ago when his first Glee episode aired. But I think you should just allow what is coming to come, smile and take pride in knowing that you were with him before he was super famous.
Saying that anyone is "superior" is a little harsh and is practically impossible to evaluate who is better than whom. I think it would be better to say "Starkid is superior" and leave it at that. no matter who you think is better than the other none of them would be who they are as an actor or a person with out the person they are "superior" to in your eyes.
Darren is amazing, he has chased after this dream and his hard work is paying off. not all the starkids want to be film actors, the difference between stage and film is monumental and many actors prefer stage to screen. -

As someone who has been a fan of AVPM from the very beginning (qui5b4te literally I remember watching it on youtube and it had barely 2000 hits) I feel pretty comfortable in saying, get over yourself.
Just because someone hasn't discovered it until now doesn't mean they enjoy it any less, and doesn't mean their claim of being a fan is any less legitimate. The popularity that has been brought to Starkid by Darren being on Glee is a really positive thing.
Starkid isn't 'yours'. It's theirs, it's Starkid. I've heard nothing but how awesome and deserved they think Darren's sudden popularity from glee is.
as for whether or not he's the most talented he wrote just about all the music, and was significantly involved in the scripts that you love so much and you go and say he's not even close to the most talented of the cast? Others may be better actors, better singers as well but without the songs and without the script AVPM and AVPS wouldn't have half the magic it does have. It wouldn't exist without him. -

I can honestly say that I love Darren Criss but I haven't joined the starkid 'bandwagon'. I love Blaine, and Glee and I did watch Eastwick but I've never been into Harry Potter and I don't feel I need to dive into his past to be a 'true' fan

I kind of half agree with you. In the sense that it annoys me when my friends who ignored me about Darren Criss and Starkid for months and months (way before he was even thought of in glee) suddenly walk up to me and start saying how I should check out this thing darren criss was in called a very potter musical. I am glad that he had new fans now and a much larger fanbase (especially because there is a poster of him in a magazine) but I just get a little ticked off at their trying to rub it in my face. I usually just reply with "yeah it is awesome. Have you seen their other stuff like little white lie or mamd? What is your favourite song off his Ep?." It usually shuts them up.
I don't agree with the whole everyone is more talented and attractive than Darren Criss thing. Without Darren Criss who wrote a lot of the lyrics and music AVPM/S would have been no where near as good.
