In the shadow of the Grammys and their tributes to the aged come the nominations for the Kids Choice Awards, the Nickelodeon-sponsored awards for tween faves that have somehow been around for 21 years. While the four music-related categories do include single nods to Disney stars Miley Cyrus (Best Female Singer; she’s also up for Television Actress) and the Jonas Brothers (Best Music Group, where they’re up against Boys Like Girls, Fall Out Boy, and Linkin Park), the true winner is somehow Fergie, who is up against Cyrus in the Best Female Singer category and whose “Big Girls Don’t Cry” is a nominee for Best Song, a category where three of the four nominees have the world “Girl” in them. Full list of music nominees after the jump.
Song: Beautiful Girls (Sean Kingston), Big Girls Don’t Cry (Fergie), Don’t Matter, (Akon), Girlfriend (Avril Lavigne.)
Male Singer: Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Soulja Boy, Justin Timberlake.
Music Group: Boys Like Girls, Fall Out Boy, Jonas Brothers, Linkin Park.
Female Singer: Beyonce, Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys.

Why does the compilation of nominees for ‘best male singer’ just make me uncomfortable?
Something seems really … off here, just in general — esp. the song nominations. Was this list generated like, six months ago?
God how I hope a song with the word “Suicidal” wins a Kids’ Choice Award…
