I've never been a fan of Mariah Carey: Mylie Cyrus

Los Angeles: Singer Mylie Cyrus says she has never really been a fan of pop star Mariah Carey.

The 23-year-old singer, who is currently judging on the season 11 of "The Voice", explained her comment she made to a contestant of the show about how not everyone can be Carey, reported Aceshowbiz.

"I've never really been a fan, because it's so much about Mariah Carey. That's part of her shtick. I can see through that.

"That's part of what makes her a gay icon like, it's about Mimi! It's about what she's wearing, and it's about her. What I make isn't about me. It's about sharing my story. It's about someone being connected to what I'm saying," she said.

Cyrus also talked about what it is like to be a coach on "The Voice".

"It's like, if you're going to have someone win because of their story, go write a screenplay about your life.

"On 'The Voice', I try to steer away everyone who comes in here with an idea of what 'the voice' means, which is that you've got to be the pitch-perfect singer," she said.
