When u say that some artist works on a certain way, u are talking about his/her work! The way Ayu performs, the themes of her lyrics, the sound of her music... all of that are part of the way she works... And, if u like the way she works and some artists works like her, there is a chance that u r going to like them too... I don't see any problem here...
Of course, knowing how/to who/ on what context comparing helps a lot... If u hate Britney and Ayu is "the britney of japan", u r going to hate her... this specific comparation made me dislike her without really knowing her at first...
But, if u r trying to explain to someone how big is ayu's impact over Japan and compare her to... Madonna. Or how popular she was at the 00s and compare her to Britney, I just can't see how would it be disrespectful... cuz u r only using an easier example for most western people to explain something totally out of their daily context...
