Spoiler Alert: although it's all over the internet anyway, do not continue reading if you want to wait until tonight to find out which Teen Choice Award went for Adam Lambert!

Move over, winners. It is clear that, at least for teens, American Idol runner ups are much more interesting. In last night's Teen Choice Awards, Adam Lambert beat Kris Allen and won the surfboard for Choice TV: Male Reality/Variety Star. He did not win the award for Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon: Male, which went to the Jonas Brothers, who hosted the event.
David Archuleta, last year's teenage runner up to David Cook, also beat the AI winner, this time in the Choice Music Breakout Artist category, even defeating Lady GaGa! The young performer also won the awards Best Love Song, for "Crush," and Best Summer Tour with Demi Lovato.

Adam Lambert was not at the Teen Choice Awards ceremony, which airs tonight, August 10th at 8pm EST on Fox.  But lots of other celebrities made an appearance, including Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Twilight's Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, Selena Gomez, and The Jonas Brothers.

  • amazedfan 2 years ago

    It's amazing how Adam Lambert has been reaping awards which constantly reminds the American Idol voting public what they did wrong. I just wish that Kris Allen would survive all the challenges he has to face for the wrongdoing of the voters.

    Good luck Adam and Kris!

  • Annie 2 years ago

    DAVID ARCHULETA is so amazing, no wonder he cleaned up all 3 TCA he was nominated for. He never even once asked his fans to vote for him. Love David!

  • Brenda 2 years ago

  • pixiechic 2 years ago

    Congrats to David Archuleta for a most deserving win!!!

  • Connie 2 years ago

    Adam was the outstanding talent on American Idol. Adam is the star of the tour. It is a shame that Kris's home state put him in the position of being the winner that did not deserve to win. We always knew that Adam would have the grace and the class to overcome Arkansas's power texting and show the world who the real winner is. Adam is our real Idol.

  • Angel 2 years ago

    Congratulations, ADAM!!! You deserve all the success and happiness coming your way. I'm sure there are more to come. And we are thankful for sharing us your astounding talents and bringing us happiness and joy to our hearts for years to come. GOD bless!

  • Amye 2 years ago

    Congrats to Adam & David on their TCAs. Hopefully, they will translate into major success in the music industry. Love them both but so far, that remains to be seen.

  • Ruby 2 years ago

    Adam was the only reason I watched Idol last year. Adam deserved to win Idol and he deserved this award. My understanding is that for the Teen Choice award you can not vote thousands of time each. This vote was more fair then the Idol vote. I am sure that Adam is the reason why the show won an award this year. I went to the concert in New Jersey and Adam was the star. I can not wait for his album! Lots of people walked out on poor Kris.

  • Evita 2 years ago

    Adam, please accept our heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS direct from all your loyal fans here in the Philippines!!! May you have many many more to come. We are so happy for you. You're so gorgeous! You're so delicious watching you in GMA. More power and success.

  • Elle 2 years ago

    Congratulations to David Archuleta! great job! He deserves all the awards! He is a singer with out of this world talent and a very lovable person.

  • Anne 2 years ago

    If it's the teens voting in Teen Choice Awards, one can conclude that it is suppose to be the 'heartthrob' who should come out as winner, right?
    It's why David Archuleta won over David Cook and over Lady Gaga.
    So, what happened to Kris Allen? Isn't he supposed to be the 'heartthrob' of AI8??? Oh, I forgot this is not a multi texting contest so AT&T can't help.
    CONGRATULATIONS to both DAVID A. and ADAM for winning.
    Adam deserves this and many more.

  • sj 2 years ago

    Congratulation to David Archuleta on his big win at the TCA's totally deserved every award he was nominated for and he won them all - clean sweep - awesome David - he's not only crazy talented but a great role model for the youth of today. GO DAVID :)

  • Stella Marie 2 years ago

    ADAM, from all your avid fans here in Hong Kong, a big congratulations!!!
    We love you here. We're all waiting for your solo concert here and for your CD. This is just one of awards coming your way. All our love!!!

  • Jo 2 years ago

    YES ADAM BB!! I love ya, you deserve this. I'm so glad you won, but I never doubted it, of course. Kris won the title, but you won the fame:D...though I won't say anything too snarky about Adam beating Kris (like I would have a few months ago) considering the unfailing Kradam addict I have become. Nevertheless, Adam, of course, takes the front seat. You're the only reason I watched idol, loved you from the very beginning, and now am forever a Glambert!! Congratulations!!<3 <3

  • sunnyCA 2 years ago

    Congratulations to David Archuleta for a triple TCA win!!! This hard working young man deserves the best because he IS the best!
    SHINE ON DAVID!!

  • Alex 2 years ago

    Congratulations to the deserving winner, Adam Lambert. You're the star of AI8. It will never be the same after you have shaken up that show this year.
    But hoping you have inspired the talented instead of not coming out to the challenged. I thank you for your courage for staying true to who you are without compromise. For that alone, you are a winner.
    Adam, you are a winner in anyway. Go and take the whole world by storm. We are with you.

  • Krista 2 years ago

  • Burkey 2 years ago

    By The Way

    Not ONE time did DAVID ARCHULETA ask his fans to vote for him.

  • Jamie 2 years ago

    David Archuleta as the heartthrob is expected to win in this Teen Choice over other nominees. Yes, I expected Kris will win also as a previous blogger said since he is The Heartthrob designated by Simon for AI this year. What happened, Teens?
    Anyway, a sincere congrats to David and to Adam who really are deserving.

  • djafan 2 years ago

  • EnglishRose 2 years ago

    Yah Adam, you are the best of AI8 and the world his showing you how much they love you, no power texting anymore thank goodness, this is the reality, the real winner right here! UK loves you babe, I hope you come here for some concerts, huge Adam fan clubs here, the only reason we even know about Kris or David is because of they are in some of the news stories about you!

  • Skylar 2 years ago

    Of course Adam Lambert beats Kris Allen. All of my friends love Adam. None of them like Kris. If you go to an AI concert Adam is clearly the fan fav with screaming over his pictures being flashed and the most screams and applause during his performances.
    It is becoming clearer by the minute that Adam should have won because he is way more popular.

  • Makayla 2 years ago

    Congradulations to David! [: He totally deserves ALL three! [:
    I'm soooooo glad he won them all! [:

  • Skylar 2 years ago

    It is not just teens either who love Adam. At my concert there were 5 60+ year olds with Adam shirts and many kids under 10 with Adam shirts and signs. I wonder where all these Kris Allen voters are at because they are not at the concerts.

  • Tj 2 years ago

    Adam is proving with every concert, he is the fav. he steals the show, he has already won Hollywood Artist Award and now this, he has the theme song for FlashForward TV series, he has theme song for the movie 2012... he is rocketing to superstardom, and the winner of AI8?? nothing so far. Hmmmm.....I'm just happy Adam got out there because of AI, winning it means very little as we can all see.

  • Linda 2 years ago

    Adam will win next year's "Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon: Male". He only appeared only once on the red carpet this year (the Young Hollywood award. Give him more chances to appear, he will win that prize.

  • ianaleah 2 years ago

    Adam lambert is the only reason many even watched American Idol this season, he certainly deserved to win the award. Adam is an outstanding singer and performing artist and definitely charismatic with mesmeerizing when on stage.

  • queenrosered 2 years ago

    I love Kris Allen! Most of these posters are old age 58 year old Bitter berts who are sad Madam Lost the American Idol Series. They flood comment boxes like this and proclaim Madam as a Rocky Star or a World legend. They mock The winner Kris Allen because they feel like losers since America Voted for Kris Allen. We feel sorry for the hate Kris has to put up with from these old hags. We adore you Kris and from what I hear tell, sooo does Madam. As for the teen awards, big deal, its like madam didnt bother to attend either. She was to busy looking for Kris Allen.

  • Deszra 2 years ago

    CONGRATS DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve all 3 sooo much!!!! So much passion in your voice!! All the best, and keep on being your wonderful self!!!!

  • gaylynn 2 years ago
