She's like one of the most interesting things that happened last year “The most interesting thing that happened last year” and it’s music designed in a lab to be played in the background at an H&M It’s okay if you only listen to boilerplate pop, but just own it instead of asking everyone else to lower the bar so Addison can clear it.

xxxdreams 168 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 17 hours ago, Ladle Ghoulash said: I never said Britney sang live, but she at least had a voice to use. Addison has virtually no range and might as well lip sync given the amount of playback she uses. Again, I remember people critiquing Britney’s voice, but Addison lowkey makes her sound like Celine given that she at least has more than a single octave vocal range, has vibrato, can express emotion using her voice etc. This is biased. They are both guilty of the same thing, and considering the influence and stature that Britney has in the pop scene, you can also compare her to vocalists in that space and see how they sound like the voice of an angel compared to her, with their sheer vocal talent. You can also look at prominent vocalists today who would blow Britney’s voice out of the water, but that is obviously not why she was popular in the first place. People were never interested in her because of her vocal talent anyway. 17 hours ago, Ladle Ghoulash said: I’m not even a Britney stan, but on every conceivable level, Britney is more talented and interesting than Addison (not to mention that the music itself is far more memorable). Like, again, it’s fine if Addison meets the mark for you, but I’m not going to lower the bar just because you have lol. She’s ambitious, I’ll give her that, but I don’t really see much potential. The album was a bit of snore and chore imo, but happy for those who celebrate. Y'all are actually viewing this as something black and white. It’s insane. No one is comparing Addison to Britney because they are in a competition against each other over who does it better, and no one is saying that Addison is Britney’s second coming. We are just saying that she is clearly a very intentionally crafted Britney acolyte, which is fine, and she is doing it well, especially compared to the more artificial ones like Tate McRae, who is also getting compared to Britney because of how she handles choreography. There is no bar in the first place. We are just seeing a new rising artist studying pop history and clearly incorporating it into her music and performance, and we’re appreciating that. Addison is a student of pop culture. You can really tell that she is learning her references, taking her time, going back through history, and trying to be reverential or place herself in the conversation of what has come before while paying homage to it. This is also what Tate McRae, for example, severely lacks, which is why she is not a Britney Spears acolyte. She did not study the references or the time periods people compare her to, and you can hear that in the music because it does not come through. With Addison, I can feel her taking in all of that information in many different ways, from broader elements like costuming to smaller details like the Fantasy bottle in the background of the High Fashion music video. There are several moments that make me think, “Oh, you’re doing your homework.” She is paying attention and trying to create something in conversation with these really iconic images of the past. It is not enough to just imitate it. It has to be about incorporating it into your own artistry. What Addison is doing with her music does not sound like it is trying to imitate music from another era. It is still innovative and forward-thinking. There is still a distinct production signature, and it is not copying something from the past. I have to give credit where it is due. Addison and Britney share that personality-filled blankness. They are both like highly functional mood boards, and they can communicate different things in a very elegant way that all adds up to a cohesive whole, which is what makes a project or a star interesting. The Britney and Addison comparison is about how they function as stars in the music video medium. It is about their telegenic quality. Addison cannot dance like Britney or perform the way Britney does, but she has a relationship with the camera lens and the audience behind it that Britney Spears clearly has, and Tate McRae does not. Addison does this very well in her music videos, which she heavily incorporated into her album rollout, since music videos were the medium she used to establish herself as a star. She is not better than Britney, and she is not Britney’s second coming. She is simply a Britney acolyte, and we are not comparing them to decide who is better. Y’all are not understanding that. But if she is able to rise from being a Hype House content creator who was getting clowned on TikTok for her “2die4” song with Charli XCX to performing at the Grammys, releasing an album that many people love, and presenting herself in a way that people find interesting, then she is clearly doing something right. She reinvented herself, and it worked, which is why we are even talking about her right now. 16 hours ago, Bronco said: Tell me you have no idea what peak Britney was actually like without saying it I wish you had read the comment I made to the other person. 16 hours ago, Bronco said: The simple fact is, at the moment Addison has presented herself as nothing more than a Britney clone. So naturally, anyone who experienced the original are sat here going "why y'all acting like this is new". Its the same with Maga Mcrae. Its a lazy remake being pushed by a record industry that is afraid of originality and creativity. This is your subjective and uninformed take. Addison is very clearly making music that is different from Britney’s, and she performs differently as well, but she is still a Britney acolyte who has incorporated those iconic images of the past into her own pop star run, which is what is driving the comparisons. Addison still feels fresh while paying homage to the past. Just say you have never listened to her, watched her music videos, or seen her perform. She is currently thriving. You also cannot compare her to Tate McRae. Britney and Tate McRae share nothing in common except the way they both embody choreography so well. Britney Spears is a pop icon, and Addison is simply incorporating her into her own artistry. There is nothing wrong with that, and it is going to happen whether it is intentional or not. That is just pop culture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxdreams 168 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Oh I’m really sorry for that huge wall of a comment, but I was trying to explain what I meant. The competition over who performs better, who has the better voice, or who makes better music is not what drives the Addison Rae and Britney comparisons. It is not that we are acting like she is becoming a pop icon right now. We are not bringing Britney down or elevating Addison. It is not a competition over who is more interesting or talented, or whose music is more memorable. She is not meant to be the second coming of Britney, as I said. Y’all are just misinterpreting what we are saying and acting as if we are literally comparing and contrasting them. It is more like a teacher/student relationship, one that feels stronger and more intentional than with other pop stars, who are all influenced by Britney and other artists in a more indirect way.

Subjective opinions can be based on poor reasoning or misinformation, and some opinions are better supported than others. Your personal experience is valid, but I am giving a perspective on mine. You are just making a statement and leaving it there, which comes across as uninformed, I am sorry. I made myself very clear, and there is a reason Addison has been very successful nowadays. You just called her a Britney clone and said there is nothing new, which is not true to anyone with common sense in my opinion, and obviously there are a lot of people who do not think that way. If the way Addison has been incorporating Britney into her artistry makes her seem like a clone to you, that is your view, but you cannot expect pop stars not to draw from previous icons, as that is how pop culture works. Addison often pays tribute to Britney. I do think that the Britney and Tate McRae comparisons are forced, and she is the lesser of the two compared to Addison when we talk about Britney similarities. As a Britney fan myself, I notice that people who dislike Addison remind me of the fans who stanned Madonna and hated on Britney back in the day. People say things like "She has no talent" about Addison, and many said the same about Britney at the time, with comments like "She cannot sing" or "She is a puppet." The cycle continues, which was the point of my original comment, but some of you took it as a competition between them. I love both of them.
