The second round of Idolator’s quest for this year’s top summertime song* enters its second round today, with the twisted Nilsson of surprise Kid Rock-beater Tyga taking on the throwback stew of Duffy. Videos and the all-important poll after the jump!
* which, given recent events, I poutily referred to as Idolator’s 2008 Summer Jam That Isn’t The Lloyd/Lil Wayne Song Tournament over the weekend

Shame I was out of the country when you were asking for nominations for this tournament, I can’t stand most of the selections, especially these 2.
@Al Shipley: You should really reexamine your priorities.
I think we have the two most boring songs in the competition right here. (Tyga mostly made it because everyone [rightfully] was hating on Kid Rock. Duffy only won by 11 votes, which might have been ballot stuffing. I demand a recount!)
i can’t help but notice how hard tyga bites off slug (from atmosphere). it’s almost eerie how similar their mannerisms are. i still love that video, if only for the lil wayne cameo.
Oh my God, are you serious? How the fuck did Duffy beat Lloyd and Lil Wayne? I blame Amy Winehouse. I can do that right?
this duffy song just falls totally flat, i can’t understand how it won (other than some serious duffy-buff ballot stuffing)
Any of you haters care to explain how it’s winning right now, then?

@Chris Molanphy: because true music fans would rather listen to real soul, like Duffy, Joss Stone and the Commitments, more than the sterile, mainstream pap that Lloyd and MC Rappy-Rap (or whatever his name is) offer.
Don’t make me pick between these two!!! Nooooo!
Hrmph.
@Chris Molanphy: Tyga’s Myspace posse have tipped the scales, pal.
@Dan Gibson: Ah, well. I’m actually surprised Duffy made it this far.
I voted for MY future husband Tyga, definitely
Charleen aka Mrsz. Tyga/ Mrsz. Nyguen :)
Ummmmm…I’d rather sip Coconut Juice than beg for mercy any day….esp in this heat!
@Anthony Miccio: Duffy=REAL SOUL??
C’mon, Miccio!!
Her backing band is tight, but calling that that little blonde British chipmunk soulful is like saying the new McDonald’s Chicken Biscuit Sandwich is soul FOOD!
DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME DUFFY BEAT LLOYD? WHO ARE THE AD-WIZARDS?
