Going with Jake (which seems to be the consensus thus far). So much better than 'Beachin'" and hopefully the momentum of that song can help it climb the charts and hopefully prove that songs this slow can still work at radio.

Kristian's I like as well, but not totally in love with it yet. Native Run's song is pretty solid but may not be different enough to break through at radio, though their label is pretty much the reason why it won't anyway. Lindsay's song is pretty horrific to be honest. I liked "Trippin' On Us" and she is a heck of a guitarist, but "Shut Me Up" is so annoyingly overproduced.

Jake Owen, no contest.

Yeah this is an easy one. Jakes song has so much meaning and passion behind it, it's an amazing song.

I don't know if Jake Owen's song was a good single choice, but the song is flawless. He gets my vote (here and for future song of the year contention)

Jake slightly over Kristian.
