The Showdown: Chris Young vs. Canaan Smith

What a winning streak for Chris Young. The singer just won his third straight Showdown victory, and is moving on to a challenge from Canaan Smith.

Young's new single from I'm Comin' Over is "Think of You," a powerful ballad that pairs him with Cassadee Pope and allows both singers to show off the full range of their voices. Fans have been voting for it very passionately for several weeks.

Smith's current release is "Hole in a Bottle." It's grittier than his No. 1 hit "Love You Like That," and more in line with the rest of the material on his Bronco album. Will his fans turn out against Young?

Listen to clips of both Young and Smith’s songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Friday at 8AM ET, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. The winner of this matchup will face a new challenger on Friday.

Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour online. If a song wins five Showdowns in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.
