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。
