The 'Leave!' star told The Observer that she had watched Boyle on the reality talent show.
Brown said: "I think she's overrated. It's a symbol of our times. I mean, 70 million hits on YouTube? To me it's a massive conformity test.
"I'm against these reality TV shows because I think they make kids feel they just want to be famous rather than have a craft and work for it. They get shot to fame too quickly."
She added: "If you gradually get there, you learn the rules as you go along."
Fellow musician Lily Allen attracted criticism from show judge Piers Morgan when she called Boyle "overrated" on her Twitter page.
