Lady Gaga has come up with an elaborate, and somewhat dangerous, idea to sing from the top of the NRG Stadium's dome in Houston as part of her spectacular halftime show on February 5. Although her team is worried about technical and safety issues surrounding Gaga's scheme, the "Born This Way" singer is all for it and pushing to do it. Her team is looking into multiple plans about how to safely get her on the roof, including potentially cutting a hole in the ceiling of the dome, or airlifting her on to the roof. Gaga is hoping to do this live, but potentially may have to pre-tape the stunt for safety reasons. Are you going to be watching the Super Bowl half-time show with Lady Gaga?

Lady Gaga is no stranger to controversy, and has tried dangerous or controversial stunts before, all in order to provide an unique and exciting experience for her fans. How many of these do you remember?
At the 2009 MTV VMAs, the controversial star staggered around with fake blood dripping from her ribcage and staining her pristine white unitard. After collapsing into a heap at the end of her song, she was hoisted up by a rope and left dangling above the stage, seemingly lifeless.
