American Idol Nominated for Seven Teen Choice Awards
It’s time, once again for America’s teens to get their dialing fingers set to vote for their favs in entertainment on the FOX Teen Choice awards, airing on August 10 at 8 pm.
Twilight and its cast lead this yearà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s pack of TEEN CHOICE 2009 nominees with 12 nominations (expect them to clean up). High School Musical 3: Senior Year and its cast, Miley Cyrus and Gossip Girl and its cast each scored 10 nominations, while American Idol received seven nominations.
Teens ages 13-19Â can vote once a day for their faves.Nominated to receive the coveted Surfboard Awards are Adam Lambert and Kris Allen vying for Choice TV Male Reality/Variety Star. Adam is also up for Choice Red Carpet Icon: Male.
American Idol is nominated in the Choice TV: Reality Competition and Choice Music: Tour categories. Also nominated in the tour category are Demi Levato and David Archuleta and the Jonas Brothers (Jordin Sparks is their opener) both tours set to hit the road this summer.
Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell are both nominated in the Choice TV: Personality category. Simon for American Idol and Ryan for American Idol and E! News.
UPDATE: I missed a bunch of the music categories: David Archuleta and David Cook for Choice Breakout Artist. David Archuleta’s “Crush” for Choice Love Song, David Cook’s David Cook for Choice Music Album (Male), Carrie Underwood’s Carnival Ride for Choice Music Album (Female), Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” for Choice Music Single, Jennifer Hudson for Choice Music R&B Artist and Choice Music R&B Track for “This Isn’t Love”.
Last year, when David Cook was the only Idol nominated in the Male Reailty/Variety star category, David Archuleta fans pelted the producers with complaints until they finally created a special award just for David–”Most Fanatical Fans”–capitulating to the annoying fans while tweaking them at the same time. Heh.
Note that this year, the producers shrewdly nominated both the winner and runner up. Now, there will be a race between fangroups to see who can vote their fav to the top. And yes, there will be fans who aren’t teens who participate. That’s Idol fandom for ya.
After the jump, check out the full list of nominees in Idol related categories.

I wish people didn’t do that – cheat (by pretending to be teens) – I mean, let only the REAL teens vote please, idol fandoms. It’s so pathetic to see old(er) people waste their time on crap like this.
I think you have it backwards for reasons I’ve stated in other posts. Adam definitely has the tweenyboppers in his back pocket. He also of course has is couger fans too. Kris’s fans just are more laid back like he is.
I’m not surprised by that one bit. I know a bunch of 12-13 year old girls that want to do Adam. That’s particularly frightening for that age and apparently they missed the memo about his sexual preference. I do know a couple of 16 year olds that like Kris, but most of his fans I know are college age and older.
i believe that Jordin is one of ?three? opening acts for the joni.
that said, i agree, it isn’t a demi / david tour, it is a demi tour with david opening (with other acts for some of the dates), i think TCA needed to put david up there for a 3rd time (versus cook @ 2) just to insure they don’t get spammed to death like last year.
if archie was nominated for an equal number of categories as cook, i imagine that the fanbase would be gearing up right now. i mean they created one of categories archies other categories as well “Choice Love Song” come on, don’t know for sure but i don’t think they had that category last year. TCA needed to nominate something muic based for archie so they could balance cook being nominated for “Choice Music Album (Male)”
so, 1 real nomination for archie (Choice Breakout Artist), 1 artificially generated nomination (Choice Love Song) and 1 fake nomination (Choice Music: Tour).
now before you start pelting me with should be in the compost bin vegtables / fruits, you should know that while i enjoy both cook and archie musically, i am without any question what so ever a david ARCHULETA fan.
as for voting, no i’m not a teen, yes i did register (initially to see the categories), yes i have voted (once but mostly against certain people / acts / movies but FOR cook and archie except in the head to head where i went with my cat mating plagues archie), no i will not be creating multiple accounts and no i will not be voting every day like a lunatic just once in a while
.
I originally wanted Kris to win. Not that I care about this silly award, but mainly because I didn’t want to hear “America got it wrong.”, as I’ve heard in the past.
However, I think that Kris’ appeal goes further than the teeny boppers. Kris’ appeal ranges from young to more mature and even more mature. So if Adam..or any of the other reality stars has more tweens that vote…whatever.
Kris’ fans are, like Kris, more laid back IMO. Kris already won. I suppose that doesn’t necessitate proving that Kris has to win every silly fan award there is.
Years ago the Claymates came out in force to get Clay to win every silly, juvenile award there is. It never helped Clay become a major artist.
So if other fans want to vote in droves, let them. Kris’ fans know he’s already a winner.
And America most definitely got it right.
I completely agree. Reading those cougar posts that someone posted about voting for Adam because he makes them feel 14 again by creating multiple accounts and fake birthdates was hilariously ridiculous. Let ‘em have it! Kris doesn’t need it even though I’m sure he’d be honored by it if he did win.
Interesting theory, however, last year there actually was a Choice Love Song category. Last year, they didn’t have a Choice Album category (male & female) for which Cook and Carrie are nominated. But I do agree it does seem like they change the categories every year to fit their own silly agenda. Last year, for example, they had Choice Summer Song… I mean really?! How more made up can you get than that! Also last year Choice Breakout Artist was not a category. There was instead a Choice Breakout Group. Below are last year’s categories and the corresponding winners in the Music division…

Jonas Brothers, “When You Look Me in the Eyes”

Yes. That is true. However, that same description describes Adam too… they both have fans of all ages. lol
I think it’s partially because Adam is rather masculine and has a sexual vibe, yet it’s not that threatening to them. I know when I was that young I found more androgynous and effeminate guys “hot” since it’s the start of being aware of sexuality. That’s for a different discussion though.
Also, Adam’s stylish — never discount that.
I do think Adam has a lot of teen fans (his homecoming video had a lot of them about), so I wouldn’t be surprised if he won this with or without AI fans of all ages participating. But that would be the award show choosing though, right? I thought it was basically least voted for gets eliminated, then Teen’s Choice pick who wins.
Anyway, I still think both Adam and Kris do have a rather large appeal across the age spectrum in general.
ETA:
unique28v: Yes! The baby on Youtube who won’t be quiet till she gets “More Adam” and the oldest Tweeter on Twitter are two extreme examples.
These awards are so damn funny….they have no basis in any kind of reality and are just an exercise for super fan bases to spring their uberly over-invested fans into action. Any kind of internet voting is perilous at best and really doesn’t reflect the true nature of anything. Especially when there is no control over who votes and how many times they vote.
Every fanbase does the same silly stuff, whether it be for Archie or Cook, Kris or Adam. And any fan who thinks that their fanbase is too sophisticated to participate are only fooling themselves. I could go to any fan-driven site and find the same kind of instructions with the same fan comments and the same intended results.
I’ll just sit back and laugh at all of this. And the weird thing is that this type of behavior inside the fan base never stops. Every online voter driven awards show, every top 20 VH1 video line-up, every radio show song challenge is looked on as a personal challenge by the fan groups.
Guess I’ll just stay put and continue to comment in the nice sane environment that is MJs.
I would almost bet “Crush” gets that award. Isn’t it around 2X platinum now? I would think a lot of young girls bought that single and will vote non-stop for it. :jittery_tb:
Isn’t Miley everrrr going to grow up and just disappear? :bye_tb:
I vote for Lady Gaga in Music Album, Single and Breakout Artist. If I was a teen and I’m not… Just my opinion tho…..
I think Kris and Adam both have a bunch of fans of all ages. The true test to see if Adam has “fanatical” teen fans is if they get him to beat the Jonas Brothers in that red carpet thing. haha. That or it’ll show that he has a lot of older fans willing to pretend that they are teenagers. hehe
Exactly! Same rabidness across board in my opinion, even for silly awards such as this.
Same old shit, year in, year out
Idol fandome always makes me chuckle
Jumping in the OT discussion:
Oh, I remember Kindred! I think it was supposed to move to another network (HBO or USA or something) after Fox cancelled it but then the lead actor who played the uber hot vampire prince died tragically in a motorcycle accident. Which besides being sad is kinda ironic considering it was a show about immortal vamps.
Speaking of shows cancelled before their time, Firefly was by far my favorite Whedon project. Sniff. I never did think either Whedon vamp show, Buffy or Angel, was as strong after the spin off thingy as the original Buffy was before they separated characters into the two shows. I did love me some Lindsey and Lorne on Angel, though.
And on topic: Hilarious that people would actually bother to register fake personas to vote for Teen Choice Awards. Nice to see Cook nominated, but I’m not holding my breath for a win. After all, he doesn’t even shaaaave!
The impression that I got all season was that Adam and Kris were both loved by tweens and teens (which is why they were the final 2), but that Kris definitely had a bigger fanbase in that area. I would be surprised if Kris was marketed to purely appeal to tweens, though–that’s just not his style.
And yes, awards are fun and I almost qualify as a teen (I’m 20), but there is no way in hell that I am voting for this.
Well the only one I’m rooting for on this is Archie, since he actually is something of a teen idol and it would be fitting if he got something. For everybody else I don’t care one way or another.
VERY OT: I actually thought BtVS should have went in the direction Kindred was going with its competing clans of vampires. Imagine a Gothic house led by the Master, a punk clan led by Spike and Dru, a good clan led by Angel etc. Now THAT would have been epic.
STILL OT: Back to vampire-themed productions generally– how could I forget Blade? The first two movies were decent. The third sucked. But, the Blade the series on Spike TV was outstanding. Unfortunately, they pulled the plug after one year.
OK, couple more: Interview With The Vampire was good and Queen of The Damned was a guilty pleasure in a “so bad, it’s good” way. Oh and beyond that, I’m completely unfamiliar with the Anita Blake series, so I can’t say anything about it.
Just read this. This is really quite hilarious.
Adam’s fans pretending to be teens. I am still chuckling. I think there are enough fanatical teens out there for Adam without the rest meddling. But if they find this worth the fun. Okay then. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s just a surfboard.
Looks like some Kris fans are still bristling to prove that Kris deserves the win and America did not get it wrong. I think there is really no need to defend Kris. If he is the rightful winner, when his album comes out he will be able to turn this into multi platinum selling one ,like David Cook. Then all this talk will die down.
Just saw David Cook on LKL. Gorgeous. Touching.
Just saw again 20/20 with Adam. What charisma. Touching as well.
Sorry have to look for a recent Kris interview. Maybe somebody can post a link. That would be great.
These kids are really intelligent and articulate. They really shine in interviews. And such unique singing voices. Just great. Hope the teens think of this criteria in their choice of TV Star.
David Cook’s album has gone platinum, not yet multi platinum yet. To even go gold in the current state of this economy is considered miraculous. So no, there’s no need to defend Kris, I agree with that. But even if he doesn’t reach platinum with his first album, I’m not going to call him a failure or say he should not have won.
I really don’t have a clue as to which one, Kris or Adam, the teens gravitate more toward. However, this may be a telling sign… TigerBeatMag is running an online poll for Top 25 Hottest Celebs. Adam is one of the candidates, but Kris is conspicuously absent…

Oh, I thought David Cook’s album is multiplatinum. Thought I saw that award in one of the results show. Something like quadruple platinum. Was I dreaming ?
Anyway good luck to everyone all around. Looks like the recession is going to be longer than what economists were hoping for. So more tightening of the belts ahead for everyone.
