Carrie Underwood vs. Brett Eldredge – The Showdown

Two of country music's finest modern vocalists will face off in this Showdown song battle. Carrie Underwood topped Tyler Farr over the weekend. In fact, her new song 'Something in the Water' made quick work of 'A Guy Walks Into a Bar.' Can the superstar win a third straight contest?

Brett Eldredge's 'Mean to Me' is a song fans were hoping to hear on the radio soon, and after back-to-back No. 1 hits, the newcomer was happy to oblige. It's a more stripped down single than his previous two, but there's plenty of opportunity for fans to soak in his stunning vocals.
