Miley Cyrus has been getting a lot of stick lately after she abandoned her Hannah Montana look and went for a more grown up image.

But the singer has spoken out about her haters admitting she doesn't really listen to criticism and focuses on her 'art' instead.

The singer told Entertainment Tonight: “I don’t really listen to criticism because if you don’t want to watch my video you can always turn it off. Or if you don’t want to listen to my music you don’t have to.

“So I never been one to really care about what people think, because I’m the artist and that’s the art that I’m doing.”
