After performing on Jay Leno's show last night, Adam Lambert tweeted at length about the definition of camp. Glambert deemed Goldfrapp's "Alive" video, The Scissor Sisters, Glee, and his own tour (which he dubs "Glampy") as camp. Read his tweets after the jump.

"Goldfrapp's video for ALIVE is hilarious. CAMP so often goes over the general public's head... so sad... video put a huge grin on my face.

Other things CAMP: Mika. Scissor Sisters. Gaga. My FYE album cover... lol. None of them to be taken too seriously... until they want to be.

GLEE is the campiest shit ever.

"Glee is the campiest shit ever" doesn't mean A) I dont like Glee (was saying how much i enjoyed campy stuff) or B) that Im gonna be on it.

CAMP: willfully over-emphasizes certain elements of a genre or theme, creating an almost self-satirical milieu.

Campy: being so extreme that it has an amusing and perversely sophisticated appeal.

I ENJOY CAMPINESS... got it!? Rocky Horror is so so Camp one needs a TENT to watch it.

My tour is gonna be GLAMPY. lol #GLAMNATION"

Watch Adam gettin' "Glampy" with it on Leno:
