   The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards are this weekend and in the music categories, you've got all the usual suspects, including Katy
Perry, Maroon 5, Pink, Bruno Mars and One Direction.  But one of the year's musical nominees stands out...because the group's members are probably older than the parents of the kids who voted this year.

Bon Jovi, whose members are all in their fifties, has been
nominated for Favorite Music Group, and they'll be competing against One Direction, Maroon 5 and Big Time Rush.  It's not like Bon Jovi is irrelevant -- they currently have the #1 album in the country and a sold-out tour -- but they're usually thought of as
appealing to older people, not kids.  And Jon Bon Jovi tells
ABC News Radio he couldn't be more thrilled about the nomination.

"I take great pride in that!" he says. "It would have been the kind of thing that twenty years ago I would have scoffed at and said, 'I don't wanna [be a part of that].  What is that?'  But now?  I think it's the coolest thing ever!"  He laughs, "You know, you're up there with One Direction and I'll concede now! I don't even have to wait 'til the weekend!"

On a more serious note, Jon, a father of four, tells ABC News Radio that he's proud of the fact that his band's music is multi-generational.  "To be considered by that audience -- not even my big kids, my little
kids watch Nick -- and to think that our music is relevant to eight, ten,
eighteen, twenty, thirty and forty?  Hey, I'll take it!"  

Christina Aguilera will perform on the Kids' Choice Awards
telecast, which is hosted by Josh Duhamel, and airs Saturday, 
 at 8 p.m. Appearing on the show will be Josh's pregnant wife, Fergie, as well as Steven Tyler, Darren Criss and Cory Monteith
