Once the assignment had been revealed as 'Katy versus Gaga', Blaine and Sam decided to do three videos for their channel. One Lady Gaga, one Katy Perry and the other a mash up of the two.

"Hey guys," said Blaine, smiling brightly. "We've got a great assignment this week. Katy Perry versus Lady Gaga."

"Unfortunately," said Sam. "Because Blaine and I are both Katy's, that means we're stuck doing Gaga songs all week."

"But, that's where Blam! comes in," said Blaine happily. "Because here, we can do both."

"So, please enjoy our version of Lady Gaga's Edge Of Glory" said Sam.

"Just so we can get her out of the way first," Blaine said, making as if he was whispering to the camera. "Don't worry Katy Cats! The best is yet to come!" he added as the screen faded to black before the video started.


The boys walked closer to one another as Blaine sung the first line, then Sam the second going on for the first verse that way before joining together for the chorus as they danced up a storm the way they'd learnt from Mike when the graduates had returned.

There ain't no reason you and me should be alone

Tonight, yeah baby, tonight, yeah baby

And I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight

I need a man who thinks it's right when it's so wrong

Tonight, yeah baby, tonight, yeah baby

Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight

It's hard to feel the rush

To brush the dangerous

I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you

Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment of truth

Out on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge

I'm on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge with you

Another shot before we kiss the other side

Tonight year baby, tonight yeah baby

I'm on the edge of something final we can call life tonight

Alright, alright

Put on your shades cause I'll be dancing in the flames

tonight, yeah baby, tonight, yeah baby

it isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight

It's hard to feel the rush

To brush the dangerous

I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you

Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment of truth

Out on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge

I'm on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment of truth

Out on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge

I'm on the edge of glory

And I'm hanging on a moment with you

I'm on the edge with you

With you, with you, with you, with you, with you

By the song's end, Sam and Blaine were standing on the edge of the auditorium stage as they sung the last lines.


"That's a wrap!" Artie called as he stopped the camera recording. "Good job guys! The Blamers are gonna love that!"

"Blamers?" Sam asked.

Artie shrugged. "Your fans. Just something I made up," he said. "Lady Gaga's got her Little Monsters, Perry's got her Katy Cats. You guys deserve something too."

"Blamers," Blaine repeated, smiling at Artie. "That sounds awesome! I like it. Thanks Artie."


The two boys laughed at some of the comments from their Gaga video. She had some passionate Little Monsters out there while others were loyally defending Katy Perry.

Hey! Lady Gaga's awesome!

Yeah! She's way more theatrical than Katy!

Don't dis Gaga!

Katy's just as awesome, if not more!

Have you heard Katy's voice as opposed to Gaga's? There is no comparison!

Yay! My favourite band likes my favourite singer! Go Katy! Go Blam!

Guys, I'm not a Katy fan, nor am I a Gaga fan, but I am a fan of Blam! So long as they're singing, who cares what the song is?

Blaine and Sam looked at each other, smiling. They knew which one needed to come next. The mash-up.


"Hey Blamers! We know some of you Little Monsters were a little upset after our last video," said Blaine, "So we're here to set the record straight."

"In no way are we saying Lady Gaga is bad," Sam said seriously, looking directly down the camera lens. "We don't mind Lady Gaga, only, we're bigger fans of Katy Perry."

"Exactly," Blaine said. "And when the two are put together, it makes a pretty powerful, awesome combo!"


my mamma told me when I was young

we are all born superstars

so do you know that there's still a chance for you

cause there's a spark in you

there's nothing wrong with loving who you are

she said, cause he made you perfect, babe

you just gotta ignite the light

and let it shine

I'm beautiful in my way

Cause God makes no mistakes

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go ah, ah, ah

As you shoot across the sky

You don't have to feel like a wasted space

You're original, cannot be replaced

Don't hate yourself in regret

Just love yourself and you're set

Baby you're a firework

Come on, let your colours burst

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way

Whether life's disabilities

Left you outcast, bullied or teased

Rejoice and love yourself today

Cause baby you were born this way

Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed

So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow

And when it's time you'll know

I'm on the right track, baby

I was born to survive

I'm on the right track, baby

I was born to be brave

It's always been inside of you, you, you

And now it's time to let it through, through, through

You've just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on let your colours burst

You're gonna leave 'em falling down, down, down

I was born this way hey!

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way


Blam's fans seemed a lot more united after the ladies they loved had been put together.

Yay Blam! Incredible songs mashed together with incredible voices to do them justice!

Katy, Gaga and Blam! What could possibly be better?

Katy & Gaga together! Wow!

Love the message you're trying to get out there boys! Well done!

The voices make up for the not-so-flowing arrangement! Good job!

Hey! They're singers! Not composers! Don't hate on Blam! Leave them alone! They are awesome!


As Katy versus Gaga week drew to a close, Sam and Blaine decided it was time to make the last video.

"Hey guys," Sam said, "we know we've kept you waiting, but as we said, we've saved the best for last."

"And when we make promises, we like to deliver," Blaine said, "and we'd hate to disappoint anyone. Especially our loyal Blamers!"

"So, here you go Katy Cats!" Sam said. "Enjoy Part Of Me!"


Sam and Blaine decided to do a raw, stripped back, acoustic version of the song and sat singing on stools, Sam on his guitar.

days like this I want to drive away

pack my bags and watch your shadow fade

you chewed me up and spit me out

like I was poison in your mouth

you took my light

you drained me down

but that was then and this is now

now look at me

this is the part of me

that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

this is the part of me

that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

throw your sticks and yours stones

throw your bombs and your blows

but you're not gonna break my soul

this is the part of me

that you're never gonna ever take away from me

I just wanna throw my phone away

Find out who is really there for me

You ripped me off

Your love was cheap

It was always tearing at the seams

I fell deep, you let me down

But that was then and this is now

Now look at me!

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever take away from me

Throw your sticks and your stones

Throw your bombs and your blows

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

Now look at me, I'm sparkling

A firework, a dancing flame

You won't ever put me out again

I'm glowing, oh, woah

So you can keep the diamond ring

It don't mean nothing anyway

In fact you can keep everything

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Except for me!

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

Throw your sticks and your stones

Throw your bombs and your blows

But you're not gonna break my soul

This is the part of me

That you're never gonna ever take away from me

No, no, no


The boys laughed at some of the later comments of the video.

Wohoo! Katy Perry!

Yay! Blam should do heaps more Katy! You guys do her great!

Ugh! It's just as bad when they do it as the original! Never again!

Wait… Blaine said Blamers! What are Blamers?

I think that's us. We're Blamers!

They've given us a fan name!

Yay to Blam! and all the Blamers!

"It took them a while to figure it out," Sam laughed.

"Yeah, but they did eventually. Did you see them when they did?" Blaine asked. "We have the sweetest fans!"
