Since her new album just came out and it conveniently has the same number of tracks as her debut did, I decided to make this because I love doing these side-by-side polls. Vote for your favorite in each match-up, as well as your overall preference on which album you prefer as well. For copy/paste ease: 01. Georgia Peaches vs. Doin' Fine 02. Growing Her Wings vs. My Kinda People 03. Tupelo vs. Three 04. The Middle vs. Road Less Traveled 05. Like My Mother Does vs. Queen of Hearts 06. She's a Wildflower vs. Think Outside the Boy 07. I'm Not One of Them vs. Painting Pillows 08. The Locket vs. Next Boyfriend 09. Eighteen Inches vs. Crashin' the Boys' Club 10. One of Those Boys vs. Same Day Different Bottle 11. Funny Thing About Love vs. Holding the Other 12. Dirt Road Prayer vs. Pretty Album: Wildflower vs. Road Less Traveled

Overall it showed growth and maturity, and she has quite a few gems on it <3

Overall, pretty easy. RLT is easily the better album, but some of the best tracks on Wildflower were matched up with some strong ones from RLT (see "Georgia Peaches" loss), but I'm also not a fan of either #2, but MKP is awful. It hurt to not vote for "The Locket", "The Middle", and "Dirt Road Prayer" though

I'm so impressed with Road Less Traveled. Her debut was solid, but she showed tons of growth on this new record. Insane vocals and she apparently wrote over 150 songs for it. She definitely picked the cream of the crop for the final tracklist. The title track is my new anthem.

Just realized I never did this for myself, lol #oop 01. Georgia Peaches vs. Doin' Fine02. Growing Her Wings vs. My Kinda People 03. Tupelo vs. Three04. The Middle vs. Road Less Traveled 05. Like My Mother Does vs. Queen of Hearts 06. She's a Wildflower vs. Think Outside the Boy07. I'm Not One of Them vs. Painting Pillows08. The Locket vs. Next Boyfriend 09. Eighteen Inches vs. Crashin' the Boys' Club 10. One of Those Boys vs. Same Day Different Bottle11. Funny Thing About Love vs. Holding the Other12. Dirt Road Prayer vs. PrettyAlbum: Wildflower vs. Road Less TraveledMatch-up #8 is just impossible. I threw a bone to "The Locket" because it is absolutely gorgeous and it makes me cry all the time, even though I also love "Next Boyfriend" and think it is one of her best up-tempo songs (generally her ballads are stronger). "Pretty" vs. "Dirt Road Prayer" is also unfair to choose, but she absolutely kills it on "Pretty" so that one isn't quite as tough. The rest were all fairly easy, though, and overall, Road Less Traveled is the better album. Vocally, what are the best songs on the new album? Any of the ballads. Probably Top 3 would be "Pretty," "Same Day Different Bottle," and "Painting Pillows."
