"Summer," Cassadee Pope. "The title? Duh! With the Chris Young duet ["Think of You"], she finally had the breakthrough she needed. Now, time for her to shine solo."
"80s Mercedes," Maren Morris. "'My Church' was a great introduction and the Keith Urban tour's a great platform. All the stars seem to be aligning for her."
Phathead, PD, WJVC Nassau, N.Y.
"Vacation," Thomas Rhett. "Make no mistake, there's 'Vacation' and then there's everything else. This is what [Little Big Town's] 'Pontoon' was to 2012. Not even close. This is the one!"
"Summer," Cassadee Pope. "She finally will get the respect she deserves. The video is sexy, and this is a female summer anthem."
