Miley Cyrus: 'I’ve never really been a fan' of Mariah Carey

Miley Cyrus doesn't want you to compare her with Mariah Carey.

The 23-year-old singer who will be joining Alicia Keys, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine for America's eleventh season of The Voice, told a contestant that “not everyone can be Mariah Carey.”

In a recent interview with Elle for the October issue, the cover girl said she’s “never really been a fan” of the star “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,” the Tennessee songwriter said.

While the controversial Miley is no angel herself, she says it’s her story that woos her fans, not 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.”

Speaking about The Voice, the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus said contestants need to have a decent voice not only a good story.

“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.

Later in the interview, she was asked about her relationship with Britney Spears and Katy Perry.

“I'm not in that scene,” she said. “All my friends are super normal. All I want to do is yoga and hike, and smoke weed.”
