Eric Paslay vs. Canaan Smith – The Showdown

Eric Paslay's stirring new ballad has knocked another country superstar from the challenger's circle. Toby Keith's 'Drunk Americans' faced off against 'She Don't Love You' over the weekend, and while the legend stayed close, it was the redhead from Texas who gathered the votes to move on.

Paslay's third single from his self-titled debut album will be up against another newcomer today and Tuesday. Canaan Smith is back with a hot new single called 'Love You Like That.' The love song is nearing Top 40 status, so Smith has that advantage. Will it be enough to overcome Paslay's faithful?

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.
