The UK's Finest
Filed under: Anglophilia > Pete Doherty > Wacky, Tacky & True > Amy Winehouse
A new UK poll asked people under 25 to vote for their favorite 'hero' and 'heroine'.
Amy Winehouse came in as the Brits' #1 'heroine', beating out Princess Diana.
And, junkie supreme Pete Doherty was ranked as the #2 'hero'.
WTF?????
No, seriously!
Those cheeky Brits surely were kidding and just making a mockery of the vote, right?
Psychologist Donna Dawson told the media that Winehouse may have topped the poll because she "seems to portray a certain sense of vulnerability or having had to fight against some adversity in their lives".
Wonder if asked, would American youth pick junkies, too?
Naw! We'd prefer sluts.
Miley Cyrus would top our list!

Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty are two of the most disgusting people I have ever seen. They just look like they smell like the CRACK of ass.

We Are Change Members Arrested For Asking Laura Bush A Question
Police reportedly beat reporter's head against wall, another member charged for assault despite being victim of unprovoked attack!
Two members of We Are Change were arrested in New York last night for asking Laura and Jenna Bush a question. Reporter Matt Lepacek was dragged out during Laura Bush's speech and physically assaulted by police, according to Luke Rudkowski.
News of the incidents has not been reported by the corporate media as of this morning.
A We Are Change member named Gary reportedly refused to move from a sidewalk when asked by the Secret Service. When Gary attempted to ask Laura and Jenna Bush a question, a plain clothed man escorting someone in a wheelchair started a fight. Both men were taken to a local police precinct and the man who started the fight was released, while Gary was held and later charged with 3rd Degree Assault.
The adversity in those two losers lives is that they are in it. They are their own problem and anyone who feels sorry for them oughta get a plank upside their frickin head. And Miley is not a slut. Seriously, why are you picking on that girl? She's about as nice and normal as they get. Give it up.
pete is a modern day lyrical genius and a great poet and amy has an incredible voice.
why always focus on the negative?
Why can't you leave Miley Cyrus alone? She is a TALENTED YOUNG girl, are you just jealous of her fast fame? She is not a slut nor will she become a junkie….
…Um, wow. Maybe they got confused and thought the question was asking "who do you think uses the most heroin?"
At least they actually have talent, and maybe that's partly what the kids are noting.
two brilliant musicians - and two of my heroes.
their music is the inspiration of ration so rightly they should be top.
Seriosuly you americans really shouldn't talk. Fuck me how many drugged up sluts are there that you idiots idolise and teens use as role models (lohan, britney etc) that don't even have half of the talent these people do.
Personally the lot of them deserve to be kicked to the curb but it's a bit rich thinking americans wouldn't vote the same because quite frankly they already have and worse.
miley cyrus ? haha
the english are so inbred, it's no surprise.
There are only two possibilities. Either the British youth were mocking the poll, or the generation under 25 are all so submerged in drugs that the world is now without hope. A distant third possibility is that contrariness and defiance are now so universal that both the pollers and the pollees were just having at each other and everything is nonsense. On second thought, the third possibility seems the most likely.
EWW SHES GROSS LOOKING .. BUT I LOVE HER MUSIC
They probably misread it as "heroin"
isn't it a play on words about drugs? i mean the biggest drugs addicted british?!
Thats because its an NME poll….do your homework
They probably got confused and thought they were asking about "Heroin," so they voted for the people who use the most heroin.
OMG your lack of humor is amazing: HEROINE AND HERO, just look at the word!!!
the brits are kidding.
oh come on
that vote was just a piss take
it's blates us brits were having a joke around
"heroine" or heroine addict?
WTF Im a BRIT!!! AND SO DONT LIKE AMY WINEHOUSE OR PETE DOHERTY!!! I think over 1/2 of Britain would agree their both Drugged up Twats, seriously who can get away with giving a paying customer their siliva and a slured rendition of rehab!!! AMY U SUCK & PETE YOUR A TOSSER!!! Im glad hes in jail. SUCKER!!!
That is just totally f***ed up!
Let's see. Hmmm…my heroine…The Queen…no, Amy Winehouse,…no, The Queen,…Amy Winehouse…
Good Gawd, Y'All. How is this even possible? What was the source of the poll, UK MTV or Tattler magazine? Yeah. Now there's a knowledgeable audience.
Hey, UK, give your collective heads a big, fat shake.
Winehouse probably tops the poll because that's the only name computer and t.v. addicted pre-pubescant teens recognize. Or it's a joke. I hope.
This is not weird…. they are amazing musicians, wears the coolest clothes. Who cares if they do some drugs and have ugly facial expressions!?
Can you watch this video and vote 5 Stars?
I entered a contest and am begging for votes. (I'm honest too lol)
Please rate me on a scale of 1-5 stars… Please try to go for 4 or more! The more 5's I get, the more my score goes up!
Thanks for your support!!!

look for the name AREINA
I think the Brits thought HEROINE meant HEROIN.
It all makes sense.
maybe they thought the question was #1 heroin
We can't even talk about the Brits voting her as number one because the list here would have Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, or like you said Miley Cyrus and what have they done lately that's so great? Americans are no better.
maybe they thought they meant "heroin"
miley? ahahaha
she's a crappy actress who's famous for.. hmm i don't even know for what
pete does REALLY good music and amy has a wonderful voice
it's just a pitty that the press ruined them. press is a virus
GO PETE
Please NEVER compare brits with americans!!!
American people are the shit of tje world and brit and european people are so fine.
Americans had no taste, are fat, materialists, no culture at all, stupid and eat mc donalds, are the joke of the whole world
Does this really surprise you? This country (UK) is fucked up and going down the toilet. The youth here are friggin' scary - NO respect, NO goals/ambitions (clearly, apart from emulating the likes of Doherty and Winehouse), oh, and bad teeth. The glory days of the UK are long over!!!! It will be a 3rd world country in about 50 years time.
Thank god for English Football, cause these Brits are F***ed UP!!!!!!!
Okay look perez. YOU are an old fag. Stop talking shit about Miley Cyrus. How dare you call a girl a slut. You are completely disrespectful and you need to die from aids already! Some fag please fuck him so he'll shut up and die!
i gotta say perez, you're blog's become so boring. ever since Britney got her crap together, you've got nothing!! when you're not promoting yourself (or your dog??) it's just the same thing every day about the same d-list celebs. where's the dirt????
hellOOOO
ITS HEROINE.
GET IT?
Miley Cyrus is a slut? Is that what you're saying? She's done nothing even remotely wrong and has been nothing but a sweetheart and somehow she's a slut.
Re: Kat – kats a hoe
Re: suckonthis – you can tell your american just because of the lame teeth thing you lot say when you can't think of something witty loooser
you have got to be jokeing right? really? i need proof.
You have to understand that the people who "vote" in these polls are morons who worship celebrities of any sort. Regular people would label these people as they are; genetic trash.
And what's with calling Miley Cyrus a slut? What, did calling Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan sluts get tiring so now you have to move on? How pathetic…
see the thing your all missing is the brits have humour.. the whole "heroinE" thing.. whats the first thing you would think of?! it's not serious.
why are you picking on Miley–she hasn't done anything compared to these geeks——
perez, and your other workers, you guys are pathetic. i feel sorry for you that you have no life and you call people like miley sluts and she isn't! those pictures of her and that guy are fake! can you not tell?! so why dont you guys go and get a real reporting job you gay ass losers
brit girl here and ashamed to say it after this. but i am curious to know who the hell voted this. i dont know anyone that likes pete doherty or his music. i know people that like amy's music but i will be asking them now if they think she is a "heroine"!!!!
Maybe they mean heroin like the drug??
I thought the Brits had more sense than that to vote two crack heads as heros. Amy's days are numbered, she is wasting away in her impetigoed crack den and Petes mind is totally fucked up. He thinks he's a pimp. Why don't these two just hold hands and jump off a cliff.
perez, no one in the UK actually gives a flying fuck about princess diana and never did.
They probably just misunderstood the meaning of the word "heroine".
Princess Diana all the way!
They mistook heroine for heroin…
Hot Mess describes each perfectly.
One blogger asked, "why do we always focus on the negative?" Oh, paleeeez! Have you heard how kind Adolf Hitler was to his dogs and how well he tipped his manicurist? Grow up. Hot messes, Yeses!
they are nowadays the most famouss HEROIN users. that has nothing to do with Hero, I agree with Danyelle there.
But as I know some people from the UK, they might have been kidding there. The English have a pretty dark sense of humor and they´re kind of cinical too. so , everything is possible
Re: HeyMom24 –
Talented my ass her music is manufactured at least Amy and Pete have REAL talent.
Pete should be #1 and Amy #2. Actually its fine either way
