American Idol 9: Lad Gaga and Harry Connick Jr. to Perform on Top 5 Results Show

So, aside from the obvious that this week's mentor, Harry Connick Jr., will also perform on the results night, it has also been announced that Lady Gaga is gracing the American Idol stage again this year with her songs, Bad Romance and Alejandro, which was pre-recorded last April 28, 2010.

According to one spoiler report, it took over an hour to set up her stage because the crew had to bring in a giant metal angel that had fire sprouting out of the wings, not one but two giant black spiky trees and several park benches made out of giant bloody razor blades. There were also eight or so male backup dancers wearing nothing but black spandex shorts.

Lady Gaga's performance started with a beautiful mostly piano-only Bad Romance and then kicked up into her new hit Alejandro. After some impressive - considering her stilettos - dancing, Gaga headed back to the piano to show off her mad ivory skills. At one point we think Gaga might have tripped, but she may also have been writhing around for effect - could go either way.

Wow. Very nice Idol! Sure, Gaga on a Frank Sinatra week is all sorts of WTF but I kind of like the idea. What’s the connection between Lady Gaga and Sinatra? They're both Italian! Haha. Seriously, I think she’s there purely to drive the ratings of the show and I wouldn't complain regardless of how ridiculous the connection may be.
