Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks to Perform on 'American Idol'

By AOL TV Editors Posted May 6th 2011 09:30AM

It's time to dust off the bustier, slide into some velvet and sew on some sequins! In news that will make music fans from several generations very, very happy indeed, it's been reported that both Lady Gaga and Stevie Nicks will perform on the 'American Idol' season finale later this month.

According to Perez Hilton, the legendary Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter will take the 'Idol' stage for what promises to be an epic performance.

There's been no word yet if we'll get to see a Stevie-Gaga duet, but it's likely that many minds will be blown by just the possibility of such a spectacular hook-up.

And that's not all Lady Gaga will be doing on 'Idol.' According to host Ryan Seacrest, the 'Born This Way' singer will be next week's mentor.

Seacrest announced the news via Twitter: "I only have one word for our mentor on @AmericanIdol next week.......... Gaga."

Lady Gaga will work with the remaining Top 4 contestants alongside her record label boss, 'American Idol' in-house mentor, Jimmy Iovine. Her role will be to guide and advise the singers before their live performances Wednesday night.

Stevie Nicks has recently been undergoing a career revival. This week's 'Rumors' episode of 'Glee' paid tribute to Fleetwood Mac, and earlier this week Nicks released her first solo album in 10 years.

Despite the long hiatus Nicks has remained an iconic pop music presence and is feted at events like tonight's annual velvet and satin extravaganza, Night of a 1000 Stevies. However, she's been dogged by ill-health, and this week was forced to pull out of several scheduled appearances after being diagnosed with pneumonia.

Gaga bashing and predictable criticisms begins...now.

By candace

um, there's a really good reason for it. And if you have any objectivity, you will be able to discern the kernels of truth in the criticism.

Don't want to disappoint you...drop one letter from her name:

Gaga = Gag!!!

She's an over-rated freak show and her act is getting old fast. I used to like her but she just continues to get weirder and weirder and it's wearing thin.

Candance, calling someone talentless without ever having seen them perform isn't being very objective, either.

If I weren't interested in knowing the turnout of the show, there is no way I would watch the finale with Gag-me in it. I don't mind Stevie Nicks. I was really hoping for an Aerosmith appearance, especially if James makes it to the finale.

Just heard Aerosmith performing at finale, so we don't need the lady in the egg.

Stevie Nicks is a true legend, even though I personally don't care for her music or voice. Gaga has talent (watch pre-Gaga videos on youtube) but she chooses to be an obnoxious freak instead, and steals ideas from other famous musicians and entertainers. If she doesn't change her act soon, she'll be just another flavor of the month. Because let's face it, she can only be weird for so long before it gets boring. Granted for me it got boring a long time ago. And her Euro trash music.

it's too bad that stevie nicks' performance will be contaminated by lady gaga being on the same show. i'm hoping that her (lady gaga's) 15 minutes will be over soon.

Ya know, when I read some of these posts, it turns my stomach...for those of you who put down Steven...you're just cruel.....like YOU know what's good and a 1/2 billion record sales and the people who bought don't.....and for God's sake....someone would say anything against Stevie Nicks? That's just disgusting....not one person in the entertainment business says bad things about that wonderful talented woman......gat a real life people.....so, do you sing and play at the professional level....well, I do....and if you can't, shut up....
