'Glee': What's next on Darren Criss' song list?
It's no secret that Darren Criss' Blaine is the new fan favorite on "Glee". In fact, he kind of slaughtered fellow newbie Chord Overstreet in our poll for the best new kid and he seems to have a Midas touch (or um, voice) as every song he sings turns to gold. We're pretty sure he could sing the phone book and people would still buy it on iTunes.Luckily, fans won't have to listen to that. In an interview with Rolling Stone, "Glee's" creator Ryan Murphy says Criss will sing a cover of Maroon 5's "Misery" with the Warblers. "I'm friendly with Adam Levine, and he texted me saying, 'I think it's time we get Maroon 5 on 'Glee.'' I said, 'I agree, I think it'd be great," explains Murphy. "I love that song, I love Adam's performance on that song, so we're doing that in an upcoming spring episode"
Murphy also touches upon how the song will factor into Blaine's relationship with Kurt (Chris Colfer). "We haven't written the script, so I don't know if it will be romantic or not. Darren has certainly blown up and become really sought after, and I love his interpretations of a lot of things," he says. "I thought his voice and Adam's voice would fit each other well and indeed, they do. I like that the a cappella group can do all sorts of music, including rock, but I don't know what the story is going to be yet."
If that's not enough Blaine/Kurt goodness for you, this next one should do the trick. Fans of Blaine and Kurt's Christmas duet "Baby It's Cold Outside" will be happy to know the (hopefully) soon-to-be couple have another duet in the works for the biggest episode of the season -- the Feb. 6 Super Bowl episode. Movieline reports that the duo will sing Destiny's Child "Bills Bills Bills".
So how does Criss feel about a Kurt and Blaine romance? In an interview with Rolling Stone he expressed his hesitations. "Well I think a lot of people want to see Kurt with someone and I do too, but I think the most important thing about that is to introduce a support system 'cause up until this point Kurt really hasn't had another gay teen male to relate to," he answers while singing (Seriously. He's flawless.) "I think if we're going to approach a really big subject like gay teen youth, you got to take it in little steps. So if they're going to have a romantic relationship, I hope it's earned, I hope it's sincere, I hope we can make it right for the story and not really be a cheap thrill for people who want to see that stuff."

If Chord and Chris had a chance to do a duet together, like they should have in Duets, the world would explode from the awesome. I hope it happens one day.
Darren is so so. Blaine and Kurt seem more like bffs than potential boyfriends. The spark is missing.
Notice how "the script hasn't been written" but they will shoehorn the script to fit the song like they always do.
I would definitely love to hear Darren sing "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by the Script. Love it.
To Eden I respect your opinion but I have to dis agree. I think there is a spark between the characters Kurt and Blaine. With that being said the song I would Like Blaine to sang If I had you by Adam Lambert. But to be honest it wouldn't matter what song he does. Darren has such amazing voice.
I think he should do Shinedown's cover of "Simple Man"
OMG! I love him!!!!
Come Around by Sister Hazel, it would be terribly sexy... his voice is perfect
By the way he is also cuter then a guinea pig...
I would love to see him do a Disney song since he is a huge fan, and aren't we all? Disney is classic!
I knew about Darren Criss before Glee. He's in "A Very Potter Musical"...that's when I fell in love with his voice...LOL.
He's the only reason I've been watching Glee lately.
