Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez voted best and worst celebrity influences

There's good news and bad news for Disney! Arguably, their biggest star, pop princess Miley Cyrus is wearing the "Worst Celebrity Influence" tiara. The 16 year old got 42 percent of the vote by voters aged 9-15 years old in a new poll by AOL's Just So You Know (JSYK.com).  (Miley did take second place, with 16% of the vote in the "Favorite Female Artist" category behind Taylor Swift.) Ironically, after being named "Best Celebrity Mom" earlier this month in a different poll, Briteny Spears took second place as the "Worst Celebrity Influence."

Seventeen year old Selena Gomez, helps save the Disney name however, being named "Best Celebrity Influence" in the first ever JSYK Awards. Gomez, who also won for "Favorite Female Television Star" was recently named the youngest UNICEF ambassador.

Teenage heartthrob and Twilight star Taylor Lautner, 17 took home two "virtual" awards. He was voted "Favorite Male Movie Star" and won with more than half the vote for "Cool Guy You'd Like To Hang Out With."

Jonas Brothers were barely nudged out by Comic Book Heroes for "Favorite Boy Band."

Who do you think are the best and worst young celebrity influences? Leave a comment below!

    Just goes to show you really can't give any of these online polls any creedence. (where people can vote over and over or there is no way to tell who is voting, the kids or their parents). I mean how can you be #2 Favorite Female artist, have the top song in the country on Radio, but be voted Worst Celebrity Influence? Who was she up against. People who the kids know well or people who the kids may have heard of but may not know? Lets face it she get far more bad publicity than she deserves, and very little publicity for the good things she does,(like singing to the little girl with Cancer at the City of Hope concert. So it's no surprise to me that the kids voted the way they did. But deserve it. NO. Based on who she was up against, she would have been somewhere in the middle of the pack. Give me a blind survey given to random students at random schools around the country any day. They always show a different result about how kids feel about Miley. They look up to her as a role model.

    this vote is a joke and people are blind. the thing here is that miley is a good hearted down to earth person and selena is a fake. this is how kids are raised to look from the outside inside of the inside that is why people r messed up. what did miley really do she works hard and doesn't deserve this treatment.

    Miley is just a whore. Can't she learn that little kids are watching her. i just read an article about miley's concert. A 5 year old was interviewed and she said it will be the best concert ever. How will she feel when Miley is shakng her butt against some guy. Selena is not a fake. She is sweet and really cares. I met her at a cd signing at she seemed so nice. Selena does alot to help others and be a role model but miley just thinks of herself.

    I'm not the same ashley as the bottom ones. I agree with the other ashley. Selena hasn't had one scandal where Miley doesn't learn. There are some scandals by miley that shouldn't be that big but they are like the pic with the director of the last song. It wasn't like the underwear pics but that pose is only with boyfriends. I do think Miley deserved it because it says influence. Britney has no influence really. Everyone knows not to expect a good thing from her. Miley should know little kids and their moms are watching

    This Thing is. Yeah we don't know Miley. And Yes we have no right to judge her. but Little kid's look uup to her for guideance. And when she's going around doing the stuff she does Kids are gonna wanna do it to. I know Miley is a Down to earth person and i really have nothing against her. But how come's Noones Saying how Selena strip's and all that. Because she's Carefull That's hwat Miley needs To be a Little bit more Careful.. Im not sayin Selena is the better person doe, Juss saying she needs to be a little more carefull.

    miley keeps on creating situations that make the kids not like her. she does things she swears "arent bad" and thinks our world nowadays are "not the same". she thinks she's growing up but she isnt. she's letting hollywood take control, something she swore she wouldnt let happen but she keeps on making mistakes and doesnt learn from them. Selena, in my opinion hasnt made any 'regreatable' decisions. she has been trying to set a great example for kids, especially since this world is turning wrong.

    ugh: ok first of all i hate wen people say o miley is just being human. There r plenty of teenagers who dont do half the things she does. N im srry miley sweety but ur a celebrity and sad to say but u have millions of little girls looking up to u so u cant really be a normal teenager thats the price of being a celebrity. So miley srry but u cant be a normal teenager n make these so called "human" mistakes. N also miley seems lik the only disney star who repeatly comes out with these little incidents

    HAHA NO ONE LIKE MILEY CYRUS EXCEPT 5 YEAR OLDS AND SHE'S OUT THERE POLE DANCING AND TAKING SEMI NUDE PHOTOS AND WEARING 5 DOLLAR HOOKER CLOTHES FOR PUBLICITY WHEN SHE WORKS ON DISNEY CHANNEL WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT CHILDREN. SELENA GOMEZ ACTUALLY HAS TALENT AND IS A GREAT INFLUENCE. IF YOU LIKE MILEY THEN YOUR A LOSER. MILEY WILL BE WASHED UP BY THE TIME SHE'S 18 THAT'S FOR SURE.

    Yes I agree Miley is an absolute freaking WHORE and Selena totally deserves this award... She' a role model and strives to be a good person...I mean did you see her pics while working as the a UNICEF ambassador. The pics are on twitter, she's on Africa giving away relief goods while Miley is Pole Dancing away not caring about her image and that she's suppose to be a role model to the kids.... FYI Miley act DECENT for once a while... AND OF COURSE CONGRATULATIONS TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!! I LOVE YOU XO MHUCH!!!!!

    Most of the posters on this site are illiterate, ignorant and probably imbred....Miley has not done any of the things you attribute to her. She is normal; you aren't. Selena does not garner the flak Miley does simply because she is not a star. If and when she becomes a star (for example, when she learns how to sing) she will then become a target for the media and idiots like you.

    when did it become a crime to make mistakes???
    ok i like them both
    but isn't a good role model someone whoses made mistakes and learning from them and striving to be a better person and not someone that seems PERFEECT
    u want her to be PERFECT
    and thats just phony
    is that what u want?
    for all of u that are talking about charity and selena gomez doing charity work and all them stuff
    if u ask me she's walking in the footsteps of cyrus
    cuz mmiley has also done a lot for charity
    having concerts money going to charity
    having part of her birthday as charity
    doing hope concerts
    so what on earth u lot blabbing aboutt??
    u never focus on the good thing shes done
    no matter what u haters say
    she'll always have massive fans around the world
    and thats why her concerts keeps selling outt
    so why don't u just leave her to make her mistakes
    and for all of u talking about selena bein perfect
    i'd love to see what u say when selena does a couple of things wrong

    Selena is good but i have to agree with that dude sayin' she isn't a star! I think she should take singin' lesson! Let's just say miley's party in usa is in the itunes top songs charts now for at least 4 month and she rocks! And i don't care that if that stupid votes say! Cause there was no limit in how maney votes u castin and there were no control of the age of voters! So it's useless and i put 5 min of my life to comment on a completely lame isseu!!!

Miley may of made mistakes, who hasn't but i do think that selena deserves it more cz she hasnt done all the things that Miley has allready done in her life.......But i say that Selena gets the best and Miley doesnt get the bad or the best, she gets the 'whatever she wants to do, it's her life'

    I think that miley belongs in the worst young celebrite influences. Because look at all the slutty things she's done...dosent she know that she is supposed to be a good role model like selena and demi.. all you see is little young girls going to all her concerts and following her foot steps... She is only 17..and i know what most 17 year old girls do.. but she needs to know that she will always be on the spotligth.

  • Selena 2 years ago
    Report Abuse

    Okay this is the deal. Actresses aren't perfect! No one is! And you can't assume things from just the TV and magazines and everything. OK Miley did a lot of things that 17 year old girls shouldn't do but many other 17 year olds have done the same. (and im not saying im taking mileys side). And yes shes a role model to a lot of children but that doesnt mean you can find a way to just pick on her. (and again im not trying to protect her.. no offense but i like selena waaay betta but im just trying to make a point) So if you guys would think about it you would realize not to judge by the looks. Like the famous saying "dont judge a book by its cover" and thts exactly what you guys are doing.
