Maddie & Tae vs. Jason Aldean – The Showdown

Maddie & Tae's 'Girl in a Country Song' was intended to make a statement, and so far, that statement is being made. The duo's song is headed for the Showdown Hall of Fame ... they just have to get past one more song.

Now, 'Girl in a Country Song' is up against one of those artists it takes aim at, Jason Aldean, and his new single 'Burnin' It Down.' And don't expect his fans to sit quietly.

'Burnin' It Down' is perhaps Aldean's sexiest single yet, and that won't be lost on the ladies. As for the fellas, they spend these hot summer nights just dreaming about burnin' it down with their No. 1 gal, and they'll be helping to ensure their bro gets his time in the Showdown spotlight.

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.
