Lucy Hale vs. Brad Paisley – The Showdown

Lucy Hale asked her fans to step up, and they did -- in droves. The singer's new single 'Lie a Little Better' topped four-day champion Old Dominion earlier this week in a very contested Showdown song battle. Her competition is a tad more famous this weekend.

Brad Paisley has released 'Perfect Storm' as the third single from his 'Moonshine in the Trunk' album. The ballad is a classic Paisley love song, with familiar "Whoa, whoa, whoas" at the beginning and throughout, plus his signature guitar sound.

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.
