Luke Bryan vs. Kip Moore – The Showdown

The lead single from Kip Moore's sophomore album was one of the more anticipated of the year. 'Young Love' was released to radio this week, with an album expected in 2014. It's another ballad sung by the husky-voiced Georgia singer. Fans will need to familiarize themselves with it quickly if it has any chance of beating two-day champion Luke Bryan in this Showdown battle. 

'Drink a Beer' knocked Tyler Farr's 'Whiskey in My Water' out of the winners circle last weekend, and then made short work of 'Follow Your Arrow' by Kacey Musgraves. It's arguably the hottest song in country music right now, but fans can't let up at the polls if they hope to win for a third straight round.

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.
