2 Things…

You can not be serious right now! Name another member of Starkid, who can act, REALLY sing, write songs, and play more than half a dozen instruments! Oh that's right, you can't, Because there isn't one!
As for him not being the most attractive, well there is just no accounting, for some peoples tastes!
Also, I suggest that you get used to seeing Darren Criss, all over your dashboard,(and everywhere else, for that matter) Because he is headed for super stardom. Besides staring in the Glee 3D concert movie this summer and having had the producers of Glee, sign him on, as full time cast member, for the upcoming 3rd season season, he also just signed on, to act in his first major motion picture Imogene, and is going to be on Broadway for 3 weeks in Jan-Feb 2012. So eat your heart out! -

I'm also a "real' Starkid fan, and I'd like to say 2 things:
- I like all the actors. I think it's a crime Joe and Lauren aren't more famous than they are. But I like Darren, too. Yeah, it's possible.
- I'm sure all your little buddies at Starkid trying to build an acting career dependent on gaining fans would really appreciate you telling people not to watch their work. Obviously you don't want them to be successful, otherwise you wouldn't post bullcrap like this on the internet just because your pissy that a few lesser mortals got to watch your precious show. Not to mention that if you're too uneducated about entertainment to understand that more viewers=better prospects for the actors you claim to support, perhaps you should stay off of Starkid's youtube page, mmmmmmkay?

Hell, I'll comment on this too because I'm also what you would call a "real" starkid. I've watched all their stuff for years, and I love all the actors. I think it's amazing how much they've all grown as performers and singers, and I think the whole cast is wonderful. Anyone who's seen Starship and still says Joey Richter can't sing is on drugs. Darren being the most talented Starkid is debateable, but the same goes for every other person in Starkid. But I support ALL starkids!
I'll admit, I was very hesitant about Glee. I thought the whole show was kind of stupid until Darren went on it. He's the reason I gave Glee a chance, and I know a lot of people who only gave Starkid a chance because they fell in love with Darren on Glee. However it worked out though, I don't care. I'm happy for Darren and for his success, and him landing a role on a successful show helped Starkid get more recognition. Everyone got benefits from Darren landing Glee. And if you ever hear anyonb68e from Starkid talk about Darren, they're nothing but happy for him.
OP, you don't like that Darren's become more successful when you don't think he deserves it compared to other Starkids, and even though I don't agree with you, that's your opinion. I'm happy for him, and so is his Starkid family. -

Meh. You're going to have to blame J.K. Rowling for my fandom of Criss and Starkid. How dare she write such a huge epic which would then spawn a group of fans to create a parody of said epic.
It's kind of funny though, since I started watching Glee first and loved his character Blaine. Then I watched A Very Potter Musical and it became a bit of an obsession. I truly think it has a right to be viewed as its own entity from J.K. Rowling's creation. Harry Potter has been such a massive part of my life, but the show is just so unbelievably well done it's crazy. Absolutely crazy. Every ex5b4aggeration of character has been so lovingly done and perfect. And I continued to watch Glee (for Kurt and Blaine), and for some reason I never twigged that Blaine was Darren Criss until my friend mentioned Criss on Glee and my whole universe fell apart. I respect Starkid and their talent and
everybody
on there but I haven't watched anything else of theirs except for the Potter Sequal. I'm not a massive fan of Darren because of Glee (I mean, I adore him on Glee, but I adore Chris as Kurt too but don't follow him off the show) or because he's the flavour of the month (in fact, he's had so much backlash because of Glee it's disturbing and disgusting), but because he's Harry Potter to me. No question. He's as Harry Potter to me as Daniel is. I love them both. And it says so much about the quality of Starkid that from a parody they can create characters that are just as good as the original source.
I love them all. Every single actor have all made me cry with laughter. But Darren in particular is special to me because he's Harry. I don't understand why there is this need for competition over who deserves success over others. They all deserve success. They are all extremely talented. But fame is fickle and cruel. It disgusts me how people talk about Darren because they hate his character on Glee. Don't wish that on Starkid. Instead, wish them success. -

I have always heard these StarKid fans getting all up in arms about how Darren has gotten famous because of Glee, but they knew him before everyone else didWHY DO YOU THINK WE CARE? I first heard of him because of GleeI actually tried watching one of the Potter musicals and, guess what, I didn't really care for itand I love Harry Potter and musicals so
Anyway, I hope that fans of him from his StarKid days will one day realize that it doesn't matter if they were fans first or second or third or whateverit doesn't matter ONE BITget over yourselves."Live every week like it's Shark Week."
