Singer Ariana Grande has been criticised for copying pop star Miley Cyrus, but the former denies it by saying she is "trying to do my own things".

Grande is trying to impress the fans by showing more grown up side to her.

"There are so many comparisons for girls in this industry and its annoying," Grande told Daily Star.

"I am not thinking, 'Miley Cyrus is doing this so I ought to do this too'. We are all trying to do our own things and be successful in our own right," she added.

Both the singers found fame from the Disney Channel and are working hard to create their new identity in the music industry.
