The Showdown: LoCash vs. Thomas Rhett

After seriously intense voting, LoCash have pulled off a victory against Casey James in the Showdown.

The recently re-christened duo and the American Idol alum fought down to the last few seconds of voting, with LoCash ultimately taking the lead by a mere one percent of the vote. Their uptempo, fun-loving new single "I Love This Life" moves on to face a very tough new challenge from Thomas Rhett.

His latest, "Crash and Burn," is a very fresh take on contemporary country that draws on some serious soul influences. Written by Chris Stapleton, the song is the lead single from Rhett's highly-anticipated sophomore album.

Will Rhett's fans turn out to vote, or will LoCash's devoted voting block steamroller their way to another Showdown victory?
