The Showdown: Kree Harrison vs. Parmalee
Kree Harrison has scored a resounding victory in the Showdown with her new single, and will face a new challenge today and over the weekend from Parmalee.
The American Idol Season 12 runner-up is back with a new single, "This Old Thing," which has a retro-cool vibe, featuring horns and a soulful vocal performance from Harrison. It's the lead single from her debut album, and her fans turned out to give her a decisive victory over the latest from Chris Stapleton.
Parmalee's new single is "Roots," and they're digging deeper both lyrically and emotionally for the powerful ballad, delivering a song that's nostalgic without being trite. They've been on a hit-making run -- but can they get past Harrison? We'll find out Monday morning.
Listen to clips of both Harrison’s and Parmalee's songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Monday at 8AM ET, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. The winner of this matchup will face a new challenger on Monday.

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.
