The gay man that drives some straight women crazy spoke with MTV news about what it was like to judge this year's American Idol contestants.

Adam Lambert also revealed what's in store for his upcoming Glam Nation tour. I'm gonna be there front row center, holding up a "Marry me or Just Makeout With Me!" poster. I'll let you know what happens after I throw my thong on stage and security throws me out.
On his favorite American Idol season 9 contestants: "There's some amazing voices this year. I think Crystal [Bowersox], Casey [James], Lee [Dewyze] and Michael [Lynche], for me, those four really stand out as authentic, pure, amazing vocals. But everyone was really sweet and really friendly and really receptive."
On mentoring the up-and-comers: "I had a great time mentoring, and I had a really good time putting on my laser show. I got lasers! I was so excited. I was like a little kid."
On returning to American Idol for the season finale: "I hope to come back for the finale. Unfortunately, I'm going to be gone for 'Idol Gives Back.' I leave this Sunday. I'm going to be in Europe for three weeks, promoting my album. ... It comes out in the U.K. at the end of the month, and I'm so excited to see how it does over there."
On the Glamnation tour: “The Glam Nation Tour is going to be very theatrical. People won’t be let down in the glam department; it’ll definitely be something to look at as well as listen to.”
On his next single, 'If I Had You': "The message in the song is really exciting, because basically what it’s saying is no matter what color your skin is, no matter what religion you are, no matter what your sexuality is, no matter what your age is, we can all party together. We can all find common love. And all this other stuff — money, success, fortune, fashion, glam — it’s all great, but it doesn’t mean anything if you’re not connecting. … I love it.”
