Britney Spears Comparisons
After Horn’s segment in the documentary, she was later dubbed and somewhat ridiculed by the British media as a Britney wannabe or clone. (She was jeered and looked at as a Britney wannabe by British newspaper The Guardian after appearing in the documentary quoting: "I'd probably be a 'Do you want fries with that?' person, because I have nowhere else to go!" if she did not become a successful singer and musician.)
Like Spears has done, Horn has performed locally at nursing homes, festivals, beauty pageants, and fairs. Bob Westbrook, her former vocal coach, was a former teacher of Spears as well as Justin Timberlake. The media have also reported the town of Kentwood are no longer in support of Spears after her past erratic antics and have now focused their attention on Horn by completing a Taylor Horn exhibit inside the Kentwood Museum in place of Spears' exhibit. However, Horn has stated in the past that she has no intentions of copying Spears in any shape or form. She stated on ABC26 News that she still respects Spears as an artist and musician, but does not want to be compared to her. However, she also stated she understands the paparazzi and tabloid attention Spears has received and has said she's ready for it if it happens to her.

Famous quotes containing the word comparisons:
“Decade after decade, artists came to paint the light of Provincetown, and comparisons were made to the lagoons of Venice and the marshes of Holland, but then the summer ended and most of the painters left, and the long dingy undergarment of the gray New England winter, gray as the spirit of my mood, came down to visit.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
