Miley’s no Idol fan

Tween sensation Miley Cyrus sang up a storm on the “American Idol” charity special “Idol Gives Back” but it turns out the Disney star is no fan of the most popular TV show (apart from her own) in America.

Cyrus, 15,  aka “Hannah Montana”,  performed two songs live at the Hollywood taping of the fundraiser at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre on Sunday and recorded a mini segment highlighting the plight of impoverished kids in Kentucky, where her dad Billy Ray Cyrus was born and raised.

But asked backstage whether she was an “American Idol” fan, Cyrus chirped; “The funniest part is that I am so excited to be here but I have never seen it. Never seen even an episode.”

“I think it’s something you have to really get into,” she explained, adding that she has been pretty busy over the last couple of years — what with her own TV show, album, tour, apearance as an Oscar presenter etc.

C’mon Miley! Even bad boy rapper Snoop Dogg, who also appeared on the show to broadcast Wednesday,  said he watches AI  from time to time.

dose it really matter? Miley suckes anyways. she has no singing ability what so ever! that preformance was a joke. It must be really easy to make it big when you have a daddy that can get you into the business. News flash people the girl cant sing!

Whoever hates Miley must be really jealous of her. I can’t find a reason to hate her. She inspires so many people to follow their dreams and she’s a great role model,unlike many celebreties nowadays in Hollywood. Stop critizing her and give her a break! To all the Miley haters: I don’t think you would last a day being famous. For once in your life put yourself in her shoes and see how it’s really like being criticized all the time. So what if she doesn’t watch American Idol! Who ever makes up nasty rumors about her must be really bored with their lives. So get a life!!!!!!!!!

yeah shes not my favorite singer of all time either, but she can be a good person too from what i can see. and the title IS misleading… it says she isnt an idol fan but she never said that, shes just stating she never saw it

PS, She’s no great actor. She’s in there with the likes of Jessica Simpson - probably won’t go the distance but she should save her money now.

She was very full of herself. She seem to work hard at outperforming Heart which earned thier way to fame the old fashioned way. We don’t need another hottie, we need talent.

I think this absolutely ridiculous she said to billy crystal that this was a dream of her’s to perform on idol
and she does’nt even watch the show I do enjoy her she’s gorgeous and super talented but I think tonight she just
contridicted herself and looked slutty not for 15 her jeans were too tight and she opened her legs wider then paris hilton on dollar beer night I think she will end up just like the otrhe poptarts/trainwrecks bc it is too much too fast she seems to be a great girl but I think she has a huge wild side that will be seen before and well after she turns 18.
