Lady Gaga had it all at the Coachella Music Festival in her headlining set, filling in for Beyoncé. But sold herself short at the end by marring her performance with a bit of crass commercialism to sell her new song “The Cure.” Sure, Coachella lost its innocence years ago.

The MTV Video Music Awards, like MTV itself, has become a reminder of just how stale the pop music scene has become.

What path will she take? Her new 12-track album Stopping Time debuts Sept. 18. The first single, “Dream About Me,” is already climbing the charts. This is no teenie bopper record.
