CHORD REPETITION

So guess who's coming back to Glee.

And guess who's embarrassed for caring so much.

CHORD OVERSTREET

Let's be honest.
We can't have a month of blond guys
with mentioning Chord Overstreet.
After all, the day after his first appearance on Glee,
he was known as "that blond guy."

It's impossible to know what his real hair colour is,
but he'd admitted in interviews that the producers of Glee make him lighten his hair.

But no big deal.
His hot mouth is real. His sweet singing voice is real.
And that body of his is so real that it's frustrating for lots of reasons.

ONE TOUGH COOKIE MONSTER

There's a line between "beautiful boy"
and "scary-looking man."

And according to this photo stolen from Guy Candi,
Chord Overstreet is poised to go too far
and land on the wrong side of that line,
where the men are too lean, too hard, and too defined.

All he needs now is a cheap prison tattoo and a wifebeater,
and he'll make people driving through his neighbourhood
lock the doors and roll up the windows.

I'd be more worried, but from the look on his face,
he flexing as hard as he can.
I bet that when he relaxes, he looks like a lovely human again.

By the way, enough with the jokes about his mouth!
There's nothing wrong with it.
Though, I still laugh at him asking Santa for
"Chapstick. Lots and lots of Chapstick."

TRIVIAL PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

So we only match on 7 out of 10 of these things.
'guess Chord Overstreet isn't my soulmate after all.

Not that I ever thought he was.

LIP GLOSSY 8X10

I've seen people make jokes about Chord Overstreet's mouth.
What the Hell is wrong with his mouth?

...except that it's hundreds of miles away.

After all the time spent shirtless on episode
after episode of Glee, it's perhaps understandable
if Chord Overstreet finds shirts a bit confining.

GEE! MAJOR CHORD!

Okay, I confess.

I slapped this thing up here before I'd actually watched it, so I didn't realize how mediocre it is. Sure, there's a lot of blond goodness here, but the editor at All About Strength seems to be prouder of his editing tricks than he should be. Instead of using what clips he has and making them look good, he stretches them out and repeats them to make it seem like he's got more than he does. The last five minutes of this is a great example of this.

Still, it is Chord Overstreet, and time spent looking at him is worthwhile.

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE BOOK

So I finally saw the Glee Rocky Horror Show. It opened with lips singing the prologue just like the movie, which made me hopeful. But then the singer mispronounced the second word out of her mouth, which did not bode well.

By the way, if — as I suspect — this mouth belongs to Dianna Agron, then these lips know what Alex Pettyfer tastes like. Lucky bitch.

But of course my main reason for watching was Chord Overstreet. So far, this season of Glee has had 4 episodes, and he's appeared with his shirt off in 3 of them.

And he wasn't in that 4th episode at all. I guess they were going chordless that week.

Here's Chord in all his blond deliciousness. And shirted for a change. But to tell the truth, I've always found those baseball undershirts really sexy.

Here. Let me do that for you.

And here we see Chord shirtless again, as God intended.

This time he's wearing the little gold shorts that so many people talked about before the show aired. By the end, he was wearing a shirt and a pair of those ridiculous board shirts, but this was his first costume for Rocky, almost as short as the ones Peter Hinwood wore in the original.

The best moment for me, though, was the cameo appearance of Barry Bostwick and Marvin Aday, whom the world knows as Meatloaf. It was really great to see them — a real tribute to the original movie (too bad Richard O'Brien wasn't involved somehow), but also a little odd because Glee airs on Tuesday, and at my house we only have meatloaf on Thursdays.

But where the Hell is Puck? I was kinda hoping to see him as Eddie.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC THEORY

Okay, I've got an explanation on the name.

In an interview, Chord Overstreet said that he was the third of three children "and there are three notes in a chord so..."

...so his songwriter father gave him the name "Chord" because was the last note in a triad. Which means, presumably, his siblings (brothers? sisters? one of each?) are named Root and Third. And if there'd been a highly intelligent fourth child, he would have had to be called Augmented Seventh.

AND . . .
not intending to disappoint anyone or anything, but rumours about this guy being as gay as his character aren't true.

The character he plays may eventually be revealed as gay and paired up with Kurt, but Chord Overstreet isn't gay. In another interview, he talks a bit too much about impressing the ladies (and spending an hour on his abs alone so he can do so!) and he states flatly that he's never kissed a guy.

And the idea that guy could be gay and look like him and get to his twentieth birthday without some other guy kissing him is just ridiculous.

While we're on the subject, it seems I was a bit premature in thinking Dreamboats didn't know about this guy. I should have known better: when it comes to spotting pretty young actors, Jay is both quick and very thorough.

OVERSTREET MAP

So I watched the season premiere of Glee again, and this time I made some captures of Chord Overstreet.

Uh . . . when do I need to start calling this an obsession?

CHORD PROGRESSION

So I've seen the new episode of Glee now, and there's definitely a good reason to watch the show. His name is Chord Overstreet, so you know his parents expected interesting things from him. The first episode isn't over yet, and we've already heard him sing twice and seen him take a shower.

I don't know much about the actor yet, but it'd be very easy to fall in love with his character on the show.

I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen this guy
on Dreamboats or Vera's blog yet.
He totally seems the type.

As far as the show is concerned, I find it goes a lot faster if you speed through the songs.
