Season 10 Finale: Gaga Takes "Idol" to the "Edge"

9:18 We’re back…Singles download plug…Ford Music Video…“Whenever You Remember”…Montage of clips from the videos…Scotty and Lauren are in the audience with Ryan…Ford is giving a gift to the teachers that most influenced Scotty and Lauren…It’s a donation up to $10,000…And they’re invited to the finale…It’s Scotty’s music teacher and Lauren’s principal…Miss Vandemer (sp?) and Mrs. Clayton…Scotty and Lauren present them with keys to new cars—the Ford Focus. They’re so surprised…Ryan tells Scotty and Lauren they’re getting any Ford vehicle they want. Now Lauren just needs a license…

9:22 The audience goes nuts before Ryan can even get the intro out…It’s Lady Gaga doing “Edge of Glory”…She’s on top of some mountain thing in a wild headpiece…There are dancers around the bottom of the mountain just sitting there…So I guess she’s officially abandoned “Judas” as a single…The dancers are up dancing now…Gaga is perfectly still while she sings…She flips her cape thing off to reveal some kind of bikini…She throws off her headpiece and starts moving a little bit…She turns to play a keyboard…Now there’s a guy on the top of the mountain dancing with her…Clarence Clemmons on the sax, I think…They’re barely showing him…Considering that dance going on, they probably need to show him more…Now the guy’s on top of Gaga while she’s singing…Now they’re holding hands. And then they jump and land behind some kind of rock thing and smoke flies out. I presume they’re okay…JLo jumps to her feet…I know Gaga’s a little strange, but I still love her…After the break…
