crazier than shirttails

I wrote this thing for Notgraphs about Britney, Beyoncé, and the rest of the gang.

It’s like the scouts who recruited her just forgot to ask whether she could dance before signing her to a fat contract. It’d be nice if she could go to an American League team and just stop trying to perform altogether, but there has been a stubborn insistence that such talents can be “learned.” Luckily for her team, her offensive production generally more than cancels out those weaknesses. While she had what many consider to be one of the best performances of her career in the first half of 2011 (Man Down), she didn’t enjoy the same success during the second half of the season — many feel that her latest single We Found Love may be her weakest yet. It appears to this writer to be an asymptomatic “slump” and I don’t forsee a decline in her value next season.
