Luke Bryan vs. Carrie Underwood – The Showdown

Fans of Luke Bryan's new song 'Crash My Party' stood up to vote early and never let up during the most recent Showdown. The song battle with 'I Want Crazy' by Hunter Hayes produced a flurry of votes, but in the end the Entertainer of the Year was able to capture almost 57 percent of the tally, meaning he moves on to Round 2 today. 

Bryan's new single has a date with Carrie Underwood. The two superstars will tangle through the weekend, and their fans will go blow for blow to decide which song is better and more deserving of extra exposure on Taste of Country. 'See You Again' is a soaring ballad that may help heal the hearts of those who've recently lost someone close. It's the fourth single from Underwood's 'Blown Away' album.

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.
