Lady Gaga appeared on The Ellen Show in late April 2011 to perform her second single “Judas” from her upcoming second studio album, Born This Way. Debuting the controversial single for the first time on television – which at she performed one of her strongest and hardest routines to date.

Ellen joins Gaga after the performance for a quick cheer and a great crowd pleaser to boot – as the crowd roars!

While she’s away from her native New York City most of the time, she’s always excited to have friends come crash at herhotel rooms. But the eccentric artist, who sleeps in her stage clothes, says it comes with drawbacks. “They always call me a beauty queen disaster because I wake up and my wig’s falling off my head,” she laughed. “My mole is on the other side of my face—my fake mole, it’s not fake, it’s just surreal.”

Check out the performance along with the interview Gaga did with Ellen Degeneres.
