"Darren Criss has revealed that he does not expect to perform his own songs on Glee. Criss has signed up to play Blaine, a student from a rival glee club, but told Entertainment Weekly that he does not think his own music will be featured in the show. &amp;quot;Well, it isn&amp;#039;t really up to me,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But even if it was, and as cool as that would be - personally, for me as an artist - I think it&amp;#039;s important to keep a bit of separation from the actors&amp;#039; realities and the characters&amp;#039; realities.&amp;quot; Criss continued: &amp;quot;For example, as much as I would love to geek out over Matthew Morrison singing &amp;#039;Passeggiata&amp;#039; from Light In The Piazza - or any of the Spring Awakening-turned-Glee kids doing a number from that show - it probably would shake the audience out of the world of McKinley High, or at least the Broadway fans of the show anyway.&amp;quot; However, Criss explained that he would be happy to perform his own music if the show&amp;#039;s writers asked him to do so. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s best for the show is best for the show, and I trust the creators in their choice of music,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;If the time was right, and they ever approached me to have one of my songs used in the show, of course I&amp;#039;d be absolutely thrilled.&amp;quot; Glee continues on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Fox.
