FIRST?!!
Still haven’t figured out the point of that….
Anyway, is he making fun of her?
HAHAHHAHHA, that was awesome!!!
By singing it acoustically, you realize how absolutely lame the lyrics are. Lawd…..
wow.. hmmmmmm
i know he’s gay and i’m cool with it and all, but that was really gay. I don’t think he’s making fun of her? He seems to really like the song actually.
1s what is the point of makig fun of her
I am sorry but he’s an ASS!!! You dont go around mocking the songs of another performers, you never know if they will get back more famous that you are and SQUASH you. I am disgusted by his performance. I am not on Britney’s side BUT after all there are almost 500.000 people who bought her CD, who like her, so this is like making fun of all them. Britney did a lot of stupid things but we also have to have some minimal compassion for her.

Ok, It’s official: I hate this guy. And I’m not even a Britney-Fan.
WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK OF THE NAME DARREN? WHAT DO YOU THINK IT SUJESTS?
you guys are being so sensitive. Lawd, this song is so dumb, and he is having fun with it. It’s hilarious cause he’s a boy singing some total stripper song. Lighten up
HA HA HA….that was a good one…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#sigh: You’re right man……………..
# 10 uhuul !
Hey guys, remember when Mandy Moore covered Rihanna’s “Umbrella” that was also super offensive. All he’s doing is covering a song, people in different genres tend to do songs that might be funny to their fans, songs you wouldn’t expect. So how about we take a breath and thank him for actually singing the song instead of gyrating on a pole and breathing it.
Uh, what is there to get mad about? He’s not making fun of britney so much as making fun of a song that deserves to be made fun of. He’s just being campy and giving his fans a good time.Having some dude, gay or not, talking about rubbing up to someone like there’s no one else in the room is funny. it’s what some dumb ***** would say as a phone sex operator!
I don’t know about ya’ all But Darren rocked that song better than Brit Brit… LMAO!!!
Loved it. He made the song fun which is something Britney can’t do.
Damn, can you say overly sensitive? It’s just a song. Get over it.
#9 sigh, ITA with what you said.
BRITNEY ROCKS! and her new Album is AMAZING!
FABNTASTIC! That was amazing. A true performer /singer can make wonders with pile of ****, it seems…
Loooooved it!!!
LOL!! Gimme Less.
Sorry, but this guy sings it WAY better then Britney ever did. He can really sing! Britney….not so much.
I find the dancing funny but I actually like his version. lol!
Love it he sounds so much better than she does!
Darren! I love him. I still break out the Savage Garden once in awhile.
Wow!! You guys are being sooo sensitive. He performed the hell out of that song, way better than Britney!
Honestly, I like Britney’s “Gimme, Gimme More” a lot–it’s a catch dance tune–but I think I like Darren’s version better. He actually has a voice and you can understand what he’s saying because he’s not breathing out every word. HAHAHA and he damn well performed it better than she did at the VMAs.
BAHAHAH it was great, darren is such an amazing person, ive been to concerts of his. and he is so funny, he’s great live and recorded and i dont know why everyone keeps bringing up the fact that he’s gay, so what? it doesnt make the person! his falsetto is amazing, thats the one i want to have…and all you sensitive people, GET OVER IT!!! so what he did a cover he’s a bazillion times better then britney will EVER be. i dont care that shes more famous, darren has the better everything! he deserves the fame for all the right reasons, shes just a trainwreck and a bad role model! ily darren
Thanks Jared! Darren is just the best and I’m glad you’re blogging about him.
Much love
All I can say is he can sing better alot of artists out there.
Thanks for posting Darren Hayes on your site.
haha that was great! I like Britney, and her songs are great to dance to, but Darren has a beautiful voice and his version was actually good, and fun!
i was at the show; it was an acoustic show at the canal room in nyc wednesday night. he did it as a joke.
the day before, he did a signing at borders, and somehow the acoustic melody of a song he was singing must have reminded him of gimme more, because all of a sudden he went from the song he was singing into the first verse. a few people noticed it immediately, but everyone started laughing when he got to the chorus, after which he stopped and we all cheered. he also did an impression of britney’s vma performance.
at the acoustic show wedneday, during the encore he asked if anyone had any requests and someone who was at the signing the day before yelled “gimme more!” so darren shrugged and did it. it was hysterical and everyone was laughing and screaming and singing along. he was obvs. making fun of her (esp. with the dancing), but i think he appreciated the song as well.
He used to be good. Now he sucks.
lol that was great
I know this is supposed to be a spoof, but t goes to show that anything Darren sings can showcase his vocals. His voice has almost a pure quality that is extremely powerful that even girls from small town Kentucky love!!
Actually it sounded pretty good, and while he was making fun of her , it showed exactly what the lyrics were and Britney is calling for help.
i liked it!
loved it!!! i think jive records and britney shall be thankful to darren.
Oh wow, that “cover” is so much better than the actual song.
y’all just have to give me a break!
this guys just can’t dance, it almost fall!
Does he wants so much to have fun that he has to have fun about other artist for that?
His 15 minutes of fame it’s over.
I saw him at Borders on Tuesday in NYC. I taped this performance of him there as well: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=73oyv5s&s=1 you can just go that link. It’s great… he’s SO funny!
BETTER THE ORIGINAL
better than the original.
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hilarious and fabulous in one time! He has a great voice, and this version of this song is really cool! Love it…Absolutelly!!!! 
And who cares if he’s gay?! pfff He is SO MUCH better than Britney (at least live singing) ! (But i love Britney’s new album too ! 
)
he did a great job but britney’s version is way better,she’s super fly super dooper fly,she’s the best
hilarious. i think anyone should be allowed to make fun of any public figure. he’s just pointing out how bad the lyrics really are (not that his weren’t) but it’s funny.
he actually made the song better!!! lol and can sing it live!! woot
omg, that’s hilarious.
Ok, that was just funny!
I’m not even a Britney fan, and Darren just rocked it!
And all you sensitive folks just lighten up okay!
It’s no one’s fault that Britney slept through her performance…if you ask me, she asked for it!
She knew better than that!
the price you pay for F***ing up your own comeback!
***
Oh, come on guys, it was hilarious! Darren’s a great singer and performer, and the song is really funny when done that way. Unlike a lot of other artists, Britney included, he’s not afraid to get up on that stage and sing. I’d prefer this version to Britney’s playback version any day!
Bahaha All you “haters” are jealous. Darren is the man, and he can sing anyone’s song he wishes. PLUS, you all act like Britney writes her own music. She doesn’t know the first thing about writing music, she pays someone to do it. On the other hand Darren is a true artist/performer and he rocked the **** out of that lame song, so i’d be envious if I were you.
Fess up, you love him. DARREN WOOOO!
I love it!
Actually it’s a stupid song, so I like it just the way Darren sang it… Cause he !CAN! sing. He has a beautiful, pure voice…
Great performance! Thank you, Mr. Hayes!
darren who?
I love Darren Hayes’ new album!!! sounds gay but unlike britney he writes his own songs.
i actualy like darren’s version of the song than britney’s. he sang it better. and he really seemed to be enjoying himself singing that stripper song hehee
I gotta say, the man sure knows how to perform! Great job!!
Darren is a great performer and has a great sense of humour. He doesn’t mean any disrespect to other artists. He often sings other songs - for example he did Kylie’s two hearts in Australia recently. He has a massive catalog of his own music but occassionally performs other artists songs and sometimes does it in a playful manner and means no malice. He is a true artist and can sign better than most of the top 10 artists of the moment. He is simply the best.
LOoooVE IT!!! come on ppl don’t have to be so sensitive!! i knew ppl even make fun of darren and i saw one, but still you can choose anysong you want make fun of+ i know darren likes this song coz if he didnt he wont be able to remember the lyric!right?!+darren loooooves maddona but sometimes he makes fun of the moves she do like he did for her song “Hung Up” LOL =D
i’m not britney’s fan,but love this song so much it’s catchy in a funny way!it’s awsome
I first watched the youtube video of Darren singing the cover of Britney, I was cracking up like crazy. For me personally, I don’t have to be mad at him for poking fun at Britney and we all don’t have to be mad at him for that. He made fun of her okay, it’s because he cares and he loves Britney. Darren wishes nothing but the best for Britney and that she gets better. Please, don’t be mad at him. I’m sure he mean to poke fun of her and I really love Darren’s music and his silky voice. I don’t care if he’s gay (sweetheart as I like to call him), he’s my favorite artist and songwriter.
So much love to him.
Janina
Sorry, I meant to say that he never meant to poke of her. Sorry for the missed word in one of my sentences. Remember, he loves Britney.
i’m with ya Janina and you’re right in everything you said ^_^
this darren sounds good but let face it sounds much better when brit’s sinin it……………….he has an amazing voice but brit’s is better………..britney ’s doen lots of bad and weird things this year and becuz of thatpeople have just bin against her……everyone makes damn mistakes ……………………………..brits a good person and this year was not her best year but ………………………………………………….
keep the good work up brit!!!
funny..
i think he actually sings it better than britney.
he was being funny singing it but i think if he gets serious about it, his version will be miles better than the original.
no offense to britney fans out there.
Get a life people!!! First and foremost… Darren Hayes happens to be a Britney fan. He is not making fun of the song or Britney herself! If you ask me He was sing the song because he likes it and likes her. My opinion is that he sang the song worlds better than Britney ever could anyways! So stop bashing the man and just enjoy the huge talent that is Darren Hayes!!!
