Though Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards have been around since 1987, it was only in 2005 that the network decided to release a companion CD of music popular with the tweens and young adults that watch the channel's programming. Most of Nickelodeon Kids Choice consists of mall-punk and teen pop, but the album features some of the best artists and singles in those styles, including Good Charlotte's "Predictable" and Skye Sweetnam's "Tangled up in Me," respectively. Several of the songs, like Britney Spears' "Everytime," Jessica Simpson's cover of "Take My Breath Away," Clay Aiken's "Invisible," and Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independent" have been so omnipresent for so long that putting them on another pop collection hardly seems necessary (Clarkson's 2005 smash "Since You've Been Gone," for example, would've been a much better choice). Still, with tracks like Switchfoot's "Dare You to Move" and Alicia Keys' "Diary," the album does a decent job of showing where kids' minds and ears are at in 2005. ~ Heather Phares The nominees for 2005's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards cover relative newcomers (Ryan Cabrera and Skye Sweetnam), as well as tried-and-tested stars, including Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, and Avril Lavigne. Keys's entry, "Diary," featuring ultra-smooth backing vocals courtesy of 1990s superstar R&B outfit Tony Toni Tone, is an appropriately sophisticated after-hours confection, in contrast to AMERICAN IDOL winner Kelly Clarkson's high-energy "Miss Independent," which shows the talented singer at her passionate best. Fantasia's epic ballad "I Believe" is an emotive tour-de-force, while Good Charlotte contributes the catchy up-tempo rock of "Predictable." Jessica Simpson's remake of Berlin's 1980s hit "Take My Breath Away" further cements the star's pop credentials, and Lavigne's forceful delivery of "My Happy Ending" marks her as a vocalist with staying power. In addition, Switchfoot's swaying anthem "Dare You to Move" is a poised entry from a Christian band with pop smarts and rock moves in abundance.
