With the Grammys wrapping up Sunday night, we’ve had a moment or two to reflect on the talent that has received those awards.

Deserving or not, if they made a splash last year, then they probably were awarded a Grammy. Not to say that Taylor Swift didn’t deserve her Grammys, but it’s giving way to more popular folks getting the awards, rather than those who actually deserve to win, strictly based on talent.

I was given a link to this nifty website, which points out the top ten musical talents who never received recognition by the recording academy.

The top ten:

• 1. The Who
• 2. Bob Marley
• 3. Diana Ross
• 4. Led Zeppelin
• 5. Grateful Dead
• 6. Queen
• 7. Jimi Hendrix
• 8. Lynyrd Skynyrd
• 9. The Doors
• 10. Buddy Holly

Are you surprised at this list? Some of the most prominent names in Rock N Roll today are on this list. They built the foundation for which rock music was made and yet, were never recognized by the recording academy. Yet they grant four Grammys to Taylor Swift. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Your thoughts?

The guys in Queen are not giving up Adam Lambert without a fight! Brian May and Roger Taylor still want to snag Adam up to be their singer, even though he didn’t win “American Idol”.

In a recent interview, Roger said, “We did play in the finale of American Idol with the two final guys, one of whom is…Adam. He didn’t actually win…but he is one of the most phenomenal singers, and I think at some point in the future we’d love to do something with him. He’s phenomenally talented. He has one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard.”

So if “For Your Entertainment” fails to sell, Adam can always do Queen. How cool would that be?

It’s just been revealed that the title of Leighton Meester’s first single will be called “Somebody To Love”.

There has been no word as to whether or not this is a cover of the classic Queen song of the same name, or an original song. We’ll find out when it leaks!

Adam Lambert was asked to front one of the biggest rock acts in the history of music, Queen. Who wouldn’t die for the chance to sing the songs sung by the late Freddie Mercury?

Lambert says that he’s not ruling out fronting the band, but he does have some other things planned, as well.

When asked about fronting Queen, he said, “That’s a tough question, because, honestly, how do you say no to being in Queen? I mean, that’s unbelievable. But at the same time, I do have my own thing to do right now, and that’s my goal. So if I could, I would try to do both. That’s the honest question. I would try to do both. I would love to perform with them anytime they wanted me to but I also have my record to do. So we’ll see.”

When speaking about his newest endeavor, a new record, he says, “My record will be kind of a rock-pop-electronic-dance thing. I don’t know how to describe it. I think it’s gonna take on a life of its own, as far as genre goes.”

Lambert goes on to reveal that he would love the opportunity to collaborate with Madonna, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga.

He added, “Madonna would be amazing. I’d love to work with Madonna – I think she’s a genius. She has great ideas. Lady Gaga is brilliant. She’s got her finger on the pulse. She’s the hot thing right now. Katy Perry’s amazing, absolutely amazing.”

Who would you like to see Lambert collaborate with?

“American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert has admitted that there is an elephant in the room — and it’s pink.

Sorry mom, but Adam’s gay., you’re going to be devastated when he states the obvious.

In a new TV Guide interview, Adam talks about performing with Kiss and Queen and how Idol wasn’t about the title for him.

Check out the interview:

Queen offered up an opportunity for Adam to be in talks to front the band. Whatever he does, we’re sure he’s going to rock it!
