Wait so their villain of the year is George W. Bush but their hero is some guy from My Chemical Romance? Were they using two different scales to measure these by? Oh those cheeky Brits. They've also let Tony Blair off the hook in the villain category. What shite!

Since when has Gossip, let alone Beth Ditto, become popular? Is anyone else confused?

Posted by Deth Ditto | March 2, 2007 9:26 PM

OMG!Most of these i SO disagree on except for a couple and the rest i so think NME were on something or i dont know them or havent seen them..and Gerard being hero of the year..ive got nothin against him..but i think maybe he wasnt the most deserving..and eww..not kate moss!

Posted by JC | March 2, 2007 10:52 PM

the winners list is awful, are NME readers and Nickelodeon viewers the same?

Posted by goldend | March 3, 2007 4:00 PM

It's like they picked every overrated act out there... Artic Monkeys, The Killers, Kate Moss (in her own way).
And there are people other than bored suburban preteens who like My Chemical Romance?
guh

These fucken arrogant, ignorant bastards naming our president as villain of the year, I'm sure they wont be calling him a villain if something goes wrong over there and they need aid again. That makes me sick, they're so twisted.

MCR are a Fricken Legend
Gerard Way is a Fricken hero
March on the black parade!!

George Bush is a twat- he deserves it- he bangs on about Islamic fundamentalism not realizing he's a Christian fundamentalist- thank god there's not much longer left of his term- hopefully someone should sweep up the pieces of Iraq- I'm against the Iraq war, I'm Pro-Soldier - they deserve respect for putting up with this crap

Posted by BJ | March 6, 2007 3:19 PM

I thought only fans think Gerard is a hero, we knew it in our ownselves, and I'm more than happy to see him be acknowledged with that award. He deserved it.

And My Chemical Romance is a good band too,
By the way, I'm NOT a teenie and I like them, so well yeah..

Posted by stacey | September 17, 2007 2:11 PM

THANK YOU!
My Chemical Romance deserves to be the best international band!
And yes, Gee is My Hero of THIS year =)
How come he didn't win 2008?

Posted by xXnatalieXx | August 29, 2008 2:35 PM

YAY!!!
Gerard Way deserved that award. Even if some people don't understand it, the people he's helped do and that's all that counts!!
My Chemical Romance didn't need an award to prove how incredible they are but I'm still insanely happy that they got one!!
But...just wondering...why the fuck was George Bush nominated for a music awards show??? Just don't QUITE understand that...
