26 of 32: Before his tongue hockey incident at the American Music Awards, Adam Lambert - Glambert to his fans - was rocking the socks off 'American Idol' viewers.

He did not win season 8, but released an album, 'For Your Entertainment,' in 2009. The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts, earning him a Grammy nomination. His second studio album, 'Trespassing,' is set to hit stores on March 20, 2012. Lambert says the record showcases 'an exciting journey through the past two years of my life,' according to a statement from his record company, Sony Music Entertainment.

'It's been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I've experienced,' he added. 'All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.' ( Photo / Lee Cherry/AdamOfficial.com)
