It's official: Miley Cyrus has lot touch with her fan base.
In a new AOL poll, the 16-year old singer was voted the worst celebrity influence of 2009. That's saying A LOT, considering Jon Gosselin and Kanye West are still alive!
Cyrus - whose attire and run through a myriad of boy toys over the last few months have raise red flags - received a whopping 42% of the vote. Britney Spears and Kanye finished second and third.
Vanessa Hudgens and Shia LeBeouf somehow rounded out the top five.
"I think Miley is in an interesting space where she is trying to graduate from being Hannah Montana and a Disney channel celebrity and coming into her own and having a career beyond Disney," said Stephanie Cohen, editor of JSYK.com, which ran the poll.
To Miley's credit, she's trying to turn her image around. She deleted her annoying Twitter account and recently sung to a child with cancer.
But is it too little, too late? You tell us: who is the worst celebrity influence?

wot a load a BULL! ur honestly sayin miley is the worst, i dont see miley posin totally nude, takin drugs, drinkin or sleepin about, she jus wants 2 grow as a person n get out of the whole hannah montana little girl image wich i dont blame her, she 17 n shes jus gunna get older so people need 2 deal wiv it, as far as im concerned shes a saint compared to what me n my friends got up 2 at her age n im sure alot of parents hav a few stories to tell also. i jus think its cruel how shes constantly gettin a bash in 4 everythin she does coz she dunt deserve it...actually no 17year old girl deserves that much hate. give the girl a break!

I'm at by no means a Miley fan or anyone you mentioned. But this is honestly dumb and biased. She's being a 16 year old girl. And people make mistakes and that's just the way it is. The problem with alot of these Disney Stars like Miley is that the world only wants to see them in a wholesome way and if they do anything remotely not perfect or a flat out dumb mistake all hell breaks loose. If you want your children to have a perfect role model get a robot or one heck of a good liar, because there is no such thing as an ideal role model. But the disney people all seem nice enough, i don't see her doing anything terrible. She's 16,if you have to judge her let her grow up and become an adult, make decisions then, before you point a finger at her.

I'm totally agree not just on worst influence category if not with the complete poll. I mean, I'm not a teenager but, for sure can see why the teens are so disappointed with Miley...everyone believe in her alter ego Hannah Montana and Miley Stewart as if that was truly her and she took advantage of that for the first and second season of Hannah Montana (well advantage when she made her millions and fame out of just been the actress who played Hannah Montana, I'm just wondering if she would have made it to the singer world without Hannah Montana show....I have my doubts) and obviously now that "she is trying to grow" she doesn't care or at least that is what her action show about her children/younger teens fans, unfortanetely the ones that made her are the ones that are feeling betrayed by Miley. Her manageer and her family are trying to move her with a desesperate pace to attract older ages like me, what I cannot understand is who told her that she need to do that now, I mean she can move, that's perfect but doing the correct things not just moving fast by controversy, she has plenty of time to do the transition, she don't need to show she is a whore, with no personality for that! I think that this girl has a lot of issues by her lack of personality and her family is so dependent of her that are making do all this stuff in order to her step-brother survive in his wannabe band and her sisters trying to become artist too. I really feel sorry for Miley...

She is in no way the worst celb influence, there are people on that list famous for doing nothing and famous for having a sex tape. People hate on Miley cuz shes alittle diffrent and kind of annoying but she isn't a bad influence. Why isn't Paris Hilton on their and Tila is awful i hate that people even know her name!. Also a tennis star just came out and admitted he has done meth i mean shes 16 and she wears tight dresses that does not make her a bad influence people just doesn't like her cuz of all her annoying twitter messages lol and her dads mullet.

It's ridiculous. In NO way is Miley Cyrus the worst celebrity influence. Sure, she's not perfect but nobody is and she has only made minor mistakes compared to some of the other things celebrities have done. She doesn't drink or take drugs and you don't see her partying all the time. I don't think any of the people on the poll above are possibly the worst celebrity influences. I don't know who would be but I definitely know it wouldn't be Miley Cyrus. She's only 16 and I think she is in fact a good role model for young girls because she works hard and has apoligised for past mistakes.

I agree with everyone here. whats wrong with you people??? seriously she hasnt dne anything seriously, or even semi wrong. If you have to bash someone bash someone who deserves it and should know better like, Kanye West.

Ok so I'm 15 and I dont hate miley and I know she's gonna make mistakes 'cause we're teenagers and that's what we do but every 16 year old girl isn't dating 20 yr olds...it's important that you learn from your mistakes...I mean demi and selena are around her age and I think they're better influences than her
