Our national heroes are far better than those in politics in our country these days.

If it's a fan voted category, then perhaps Rihanna is that popular. In our area, we also consider exemplary qualities for someone to be considered a national hero. Since, I'm not a fan of her, I don't know how to perceive her and her music.

Yes but the most popular person is not necessarily fit to be made a hero for a country .Michael Jackson was popular but I would not consider him a national hero for America
