Miley Cyrus said no to The Factor USA as she really didn't want to be a "dream crusher"

  • October 15, 2012
  • Sam Hine

Miley Cyrus wasn't all that keen on saying no to people on The X Factor so decided not to join the panel.

'I just don't know if I want to be some dream crusher," notes the 'Talk Is Cheap' singer (quoted here). "Would you really want to sit there as someone is belting their heart out — even if it is like hearing nails on a chalk­board — and then say to them, 'You suck?'"

A good point well raised there Miley.

"I have no filter, so I would be scared I would say something and they would go home and say, 'Miley Cyrus ruined my dreams." It seems harsh."

We wonder what makes her say something like that?
