The Showdown: Danielle Bradbery vs. Canaan Smith

Danielle Bradbery has some of the most loyal fans in country music, and they've just given her a big Showdown victory. Now the young singer moves on to face a challenge from Canaan Smith.

Bradbery's latest single is "Friend Zone," which displays a sassy side to her music as she puts a boy in his place for not calling her on time. The pop-country track is the first we've heard of Bradbery's upcoming sophomore album, and so far fans are loving it.

Smith's new release is "Hole in a Bottle," which is a straight-up drinking song with a clever play on its main theme. It's the follow-up to his No. 1 hit, "Love You Like That," and it's just different enough to hold fans' attention, but not so different that it will confuse fans who loved his previous effort. Will he be able to get past Bradbery?
