Lady Gaga, whose notorious zipper-eyepatched appearance on last season's "American Idol" helped her become the pop idol she is today, will thrillingly return to the "Idol" stage on next week's May 5 results show, thus injecting a bit of much-needed excitement into a somewhat dull Season 9. Her performance reportedly was no bargain-budget affair: apparently Lady Gaga comes with a hefty price-tag.

Lady Gaga在上一季美国偶像中大出风头的表演让她的名字变得人尽皆知，这一季她又回来了，在下周的决赛中她将继续登台表演，给没什么看头的比赛加点噱头。据说Gaga的出场费完全没得商量：明显她的身价不是一般的高。

"After looking at her costume, stage, and production, it is easy to conclude a good chunk of change was spent on her performance," an eyewitness at Gaga's "Idol" taping told OK Magazine.

一个目睹了节目录制过程的观众告诉OK杂志的记者：“看到她那身表演行头和舞台布景之后，不难想象节目组在她身上花了多少钱。”

During her racy performance--which was taped last Wednesday after the live top six "Idol" results show--the Lady of the evening wore a black fishnet onesie, and she performed on a gothic stage bedecked with barely dressed exotic male dancers, a fire-spitting metallic angel on a mirrored pedestal, dry-ice fog, spiky black metal trees, and park benches fashioned out of bloody razorblades. This wasn't the first time the Lady used fake blood (well, hopefully it was fake) in concert.

节目在上周三六强诞生之后就录制好了。Gaga身穿黑色渔网装，在一个哥特式风格地方舞台上表演，伴舞的是一些近乎全裸的异国男舞者。舞台上有一个放在镜面底座上的喷火金属天使，笼罩在干冰制造的烟雾中，还看得到黑色尖利的金属树，以及用沾满血的刀片制成的长椅。这不是Gaga第一次在舞台上用假的血来制造气氛了（希望那些血不是真的）。

According the TV website , Gaga's performance "looked like the S&M version of 'Alice in Wonderland' meets the cemetery scene from 'Phantom of the Opera' populated by half-naked nymphs from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'"

根据的评论，Gaga的表演就像SM版的爱丽丝漫游仙境，加上歌剧魅影中的墓地场景，那儿到处都是仲夏夜之梦里的半裸小仙女。

That certainly doesn't seem like the typical family-friendly fare of "American Idol," arguably one of the most conservative shows on television, so this may turn out to be the most controversial "Idol"-related TV performance since Adam Lambert shocked and awed at the 2009 AMAs.

美国偶像一直以来的风格还是比较保守的，Gaga一来，恐怕这节目就不像以前那样适合全家大小一起观看了。也许这会是继Adam Lambert在AMA颁奖礼上的断背吻之后，又一个引起争议的表演。
