"I was offered The Voice in Australia plus American Idol and The X Factor," she confirmed to Australia's Herald Sun. "I said no because you can't be honest.
"People will hate you if you're honest. Simon Cowell is the only person who gets away with it because he's got an accent. And he's a man.
"People would just hate me more than they already do. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Besides, you can sing karaoke anywhere."
Pink has also confirmed that she will collaborate with Eminem on her forthcoming album The Truth About Love.
The singer's sixth studio LP is released in the UK on September 17 and a day later in the US.

Would like to see Pink join the X factor, she's pretty, edgy talented. I think she'd make a great judge. Maybe she'll change her mind in the future.

Good honest answer. I don't agree with the karaoke comment but it's her opinion. Good on her.

She has a point, look at how much we hate Kelly Rowland now.

Do we? My opinion of her hasn't changed. She certainly came across as more likeable than Gary or Tulisa.

Kelly was unlikable not because she was straight forward but because she was all me, me, me, me, me, me,...and me!
She thought it was the Kelly-Factor she was on.
