Miranda Lambert vs. Parmalee – The Showdown

Miranda Lambert's 'Automatic' is riding a week-long winning streak. Her fans pushed the new single to a third straight win on Wednesday and Thursday. The nostalgic country-folk song knocked out 'Doin' It Right' by Rodney Atkins to come within two wins of the Showdown Hall of Fame. 

This weekend's matchup is four against one, but if anyone is strong enough to take on Parmalee, it's the feisty Lambert. 'Close Your Eyes' is the 'Carolina' singers' new single, a follow-up to a No. 1 hit and one of the top songs of 2013. Parmalee don't ditch a style that worked during this love song. They'll be counting on fans to rally to take down 'Automatic.'
