Close call!

Last night, the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, held in El Lay, inducted the likes of Donna Summer, Quincy Jones, Randy Newman, Rush, Albert King, Public Enemy, Heart and Lou Adler!

And while there was a myriad of star-studded guest speakers and performers for the special occasion, including Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, and John Mayer, one expected performer was NOTICEABLY missing in action:

Christina Aguilera!

The diva, who was expected to join Hudson by posthumously honoring Summers' magnificent career with a performance of Bad Girls and Last Dance, reportedly canceled at the last minute. And her absence is now being said to have been due to

When Jennifer Hudson was asked to sing at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, she took it very seriously, and even got into character!

The singer performed a killer Donna Summer medley of Bad Girls and Last Dance wearing a very divalicious nude beaded one shoulder Pamella Roland jumpsuit.

We love to love you JHud, but we can't say the same about this look. The jumpsuit was too tight and those Spanx were not doing their job. In fact, you could see the cut of the shapewear right through the fabric!

As unflattering as it may be, we'll still give you a 'D' for trying to look like a disco queen.

Thoughts???

While Beyoncé was off showing her nips to the world, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were having a mini Destiny's Child reunion of their own Thursday night at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Nokia Theater in El Lay.

For the induction of Donna Summer and other music legends, Kelly opted for a black lace dress which (slightly) covered a short and tight leather mini skirt and bra while Michelle wore a black and white Herve Leger bandage gown.

Both women looked IMPECCABLE. Even a decade later and they still know how to make an eye-stopping appearance on the red carpet.

They have us Jumpin' Jumpin'!

It's been over four years since Little Boots released her debut album - and she's finally back with a new record! Thankfully!

The wait was well worth Nocturnes, a delicious and defiant collection of nu disco reminiscent of Donna Summer classics meets Madonna's Hung Up.

Check out the frothy and sexy lead single, Broken Record, above!!!

At first we thought Usher was being INDUCTED into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but then we heard it was Donna Summer, Albert King, Quincy Jones and Lou Adler — which made more sense as Usher hasn't really been around long enough to get a nod! Ha!

Usher WILL be there, though! Along with Carole King, John Fogerty, Spike Lee, and Harry Belafonte! They're on the list of performers and presenters for the ceremony!

Usher will be performing for Quincy Jones, which is pretty damn perrrrrfect!

Sounds like an amazing night, and what an honor for everyone involved!

Congrats to those being inducted! You're all LEGENDS!!

Ah-Mazing!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced it's 2013 class of inductees, and we're pleased as punch by the bands and artists on the list!

Our fave ones to make the cut include Heart, Rush, Public Enemy, and — obvi — Donna Summer!

Heart wrote one of the best chick-rock songs ever with Crazy on You!

Public Enemy's Flavor Flav and Chuck D fought the powers that be for decades!

After being consistently overlooked, Canadian prog-rockers and Ayn Rand enthusiasts Rush finally get the recognition they deserve!

And, of course, the late/great Donna Summer touched all of us so profoundly that we would never ever argue against her inclusion!

Even I Love L.A. singer Randy Newman is joining in on the fun!

We expect much of the talented class to perform at the Nokia Center induction ceremony in April!

We may have been MORE than a little bewildered with the line-up this year for VH1's Divas Live concert, which will feature the likes of Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, and Jordin Sparks paying tribute to the dearly departed Donna Summer and Whitney Houston, but that's apparently because the network has apparently decided only one TRUE diva has to take the stage this year!

And that would be the show's host, Adam Lambert!

Ch-ch-check out the American Idol alum showing off what his pipes can do in a brand new promo for the event (above)…as well as just a true diva needs to hit those high notes in two more…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
