'I Won't Back Down' by Tom Petty (Cover by Christian Porter)

Christian Porter performs his version of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down"

-Being on Season 4 of The Voice has given me a huge insight to myself and my music. No matter what struggles you may face, whether it's with a vocal competition or struggles in everyday life, you always need to remember to stay strong, stand your ground, and never back down.

Just wanted to say that your cover of this song has and continues to help me through some incredibly tough times. My mother's stroke and subsequent death. My sister getting cancer. My uncle and last close relative being bedridden in hospital. a horrific job. Your music matters. It helps me believe I can get through the tough days. Please continue to make it.

Dear Christian, I loved your cover - version. It's a real musicianship. Not a fan of TV contests (been through some too years ago :)), and I don' t know if how far did you get, but it doesn' t matter at all. I'm happy that there are young people with full-package skills, that's important. The way you recorded this favorite classic of ours shows it clearly. Thanks.
