Welcome to Battle of the Canadians - the first artist crossover event in the Shawn Mendes forum!

We've handpicked four of the biggest names in music, hailing from Canada like Shawn, to feature in a number of battle rounds to determine who the best of the lot is! Similar to Battle of the Boybands in the One Direction forum, there will be a series of polls where Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Avril Lavigne and Drake will battle for your affections. Only one artist can win each round, and an overall winner will be crowned at the end of the event based on how many polls they've won!

For Round Two, we're keeping things current by looking back at what our five artists have released this year in 2019 and who has put out the best single, either on their own, with another artist, or a song that they've featured on by another artist!

Simply vote for your favourite song of the five in the poll above! YouTube embeds provided below if you'd like to revisit each song before voting.

Team Avril once again as 'Head Above Water' outdid my expectations and then some wub.gif 'If I Can't Have You' is strong too though.

Blinding Lights is a tune but nobody's here for homophobic, biphobic, misogynistic trash x

The Weeknd isn't being added because we have planned the entire format and Calum has designed a gorgeous banner already, once again let's appreciate the work that has been done especially as the point has already been made in round 1...

My rank:

1. Head Above Water (Avril Lavigne) wub.gif
2. If I Can't Have You (Shawn Mendes)
3. I Don't Care (Justin Bieber)
4. Now That I Found You (Carly Rae Jepsen)
5. No Guidance (Drake)

Drake a very distant last here oops

Now That I Found You, I marginally prefer it to If I Can't Have You. As with almost everything Carly, it's so underrated. sad.gif

04. I Don't Care
--. No Guidance > Haven't heard this and I don't have any intention to either laugh.gif <

None of the others are anywhere near their career bests for me though. 1-3 are all middling amongst their singles back cats for me I think. IDC is complete trash.

Round Two results:



01 Avril Lavigne - Head Above Water | 10 votes; 43.48%
02 Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You | 8 votes; 34.78%
03 Carly Rae Jepsen - Now That I Found You | 4 votes; 17.39%
04 Justin Bieber - I Don't Care | 1 vote; 4.35%
05 Drake - No Guidance | 0 votes; 0.00%

Finally closing this after the tie was broken ages ago now, oops. 2/2 for Avril though, and she sails to victory in round two with 10 votes for Head Above Water - the lead single from her 2019 album of the same name! Shawn's first release of 2019 gave it a close run throughout the poll though - If I Can't Have You finished with 8 votes in the end, and only 8% behind Avril overall. Carly managed more votes in this round with 4 people thinking she had the best release of 2019, while Justin and Drake flopped a bit with just one vote between them. No surprise, really.

Will get Round Three up soon happy.gif
