Blake Shelton vs. Kristen Kelly – The Showdown

Blake Shelton's new song is hot! 'Boys 'Round Here' has won two straight Showdowns, proving the second single from 'Based on a True Story' will be just as popular as the first. Today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio, the track featuring RaeLynn, Pistol Annies and more will go up against a beautiful new ballad from Kristen Kelly. 

'He Loves to Make Me Cry' is one of the finer vocal performances you'll hear this year. Kelly shows power and range she kept hidden on her debut single 'Ex-Old Man.' Both songs are wonderful, so it will be a matter of who can get the most fan support. The winner moves on to a new round on Monday.

Listen to clips of both Shelton and Kelly's songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour online, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. Hear the full versions of the songs tonight after 10PM on Taste of Country Nights. Help your favorite song win by placing additional votes at (888) 678-9995. You can listen to the show online through any of the 41 radio stations that carry it. Voting will end tonight at 10:40PM CT.

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, and again by calling (888) 678-9995. If a song wins five days 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.
