The Showdown: Trent Harmon vs. Dustin Lynch
In a surprise upset, Trent Harmon has claimed victory over Keith Urban in the Showdown. The American Idol champ will face a challenge from Dustin Lynch today and Thursday.
Harmon's latest single, "There's a Girl," is a turn in a much safer direction, lyrically, than his too-hot-to-handle debut, "Falling." He gives an earnest, convincing performance on the love song, which could prove a big breakthrough for him.
Lynch's new single, "Seein' Red," is the first taste we've had of his upcoming third studio album, and it's also a turn in a new direction. The progressive country track sees Lynch flavoring his approach with more contemporary beats and vocal effects for a track that might have been too much for country radio just a few years ago, but is right in keeping with trends right now. Which one of these songs will move on to another Showdown round?
