In my opinion, Lady Gaga beat out Madonna, on “Glee” at least. Hands down, the episode with Gaga thrilled me a lot more.

It was an over-the-top perfect homage for an artist who herself is really over-the-top.

From the anti-Goth battle, via the dislike of Principal Figgin of Tina’s appearance, to the “Twilight” wanna-be gang attacking and the pitiful outfit of Rachel’s inspired by Gaga, the show was awesome as ever.

Britt quips returned, thank goodness (“You look terribe. I look awesome”), along with more Rachel as well as Shelby, her new discovered mom.

Watching Rachel and Shelby attempt to forge a relatoinship awkwardly made for good television, along with the father of Kurt stnading up to Finn’s homophobia.

Then, just when I was thinking there couldn’t be a musical number that I could love more than “Bad Romance” being taken on by Kurt and fellow divas (who knew that Santana had such great pipes?), Shelby and Rachel provided a “PokerFace” whimiscal version that made me cry and laugh all at the same time. Ditto for the touching version of the Kiss song “Beth” by Puck and friends.

I’m absolutely Gaga for “Glee.” That’s no secret. I swear the show is so easy for me to love. It keeps getting better all the time.

Next week, Lady Gaga will be appearing on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
