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.
"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.
