Coming off a strong Idol presence at last year's event, the 2009 Teen Choice Awards was even less of the place to be if you had starred on FOX's highest-rated show, as Twilight and Miley Cyrus proved. Making waves at the staple meaningless awards show of the summer was Jordin Sparks, who made a trip up to the stage to introduce the "Dare the Jonas Brothers" segment during which viewer-submitted dares for the group were aired. Watch Jordin's segment below (begins at 5:54):
In terms of actual awards for the franchise, David Archuleta had three attached to his name as he was the recipient of Choice Music Breakout Artist, Choice Music Love Song (for "Crush") and Choice Music Tour for his tour with Demi Lovato.
Another big Idol-related winner of the night was Adam Lambert, who defeated his Season 8 rival Kris Allen in the Choice TV Male Reality/Variety Star. Neither David nor Adam could make an appearance at the show due to being on tour at the moment.
One last big Idol-related win included American Idol taking home a surfboard for Choice TV Reality Competition at the fan-voted award show, as expected.
The Teen Choice Awards were taped yesterday at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif., and aired earlier tonight on FOX.
