| September 16th, 2010
THE Gold Coast has two entertainers facing off for a single gong at the 2010 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Australian Idol Stan Walker and teen pop sensation Cody Simpson.
The pair are contesting the Fresh New Musos category.
New Zealand-born, northern NSW-reared Walker, 19, won last year's Australian Idol, released a winner's album, took on charity work and moved to Sydney but his family remain at Palm Beach.
The Hillsong favourite's second album From The Inside Out debuted at No.2 on the ARIA albums chart.
Simpson, 14, of Mermaid Waters is a clean-cut Justin Bieber lookalike and internet sensation.
He began recording songs in his bedroom in 2009 and uploaded them to YouTube, where they were discovered by Shawn Campbell, Jay-Z's Grammy-nominated record producer. A recent US visit saw him mobbed by hundreds of screaming teenage girls.
Simpson will also perform at the awards night where he and Walker compete for the gong against Sydney five-piece Amy Meredith and Adelaide singer, songwriter and guitarist Orianthi Panagaris, who got her break as lead guitarist on Michael Jackson's This Is It tour.
Each year pay-TV channel asks Aussie kids to vote for their favourite entertainers, films, TV shows and sports stars.
The Nickeldeon Kids Choice Awards will be stage at Sydney Entertainment Centre and beamed into loungerooms by kids pay-TV channel Nickelodeon on October 8.
