    Freddie and Luciano never had a chance to sing together, sadly. Mercury, afaik, publicly praised Pavarotti's mighty voice several times in the 80s, probably even before he was involved in the classical crossover / operatic world with his Barcelona album and Montserrat Caballe collaboration. Pavarotti, on his turn, said that Freddie had the best rock voice in at least one of his late 90s interviews.

      I guess Freddie would have loved to sing a duet with Pavarotti if he still had the chance to do so. Seeing it come to reality now brings tears to my eyes, as it does yours. A really great performance such an amazing voice.

    The look on his face as Pavarotti at the end is one of pure joy. His ability to give passion and emotion is top tier. Being French-Canadian they have so much emotion in their music. I know because I am Anglo-Canadian and I just love the music from singers from La Belle Province. Great reaction as usual my friend, You are now my go to guy for music reactions. Because like Marc, you are the real deal. Cheers.

    Thanks Jeff for checking out this insane display of talent by Marc himself, which surprisingly enough, Marc isn’t even classically trained in opera. This was basically a fun video idea he came up with while shaving😂 the creativity this guy has I swear….
    Marc actually has performed with Queen before on American idol (played with both Roger Taylor and Brian May on stage).
    Sometime next week I’ll send in a request of one of Marc’s live performances. It’ll be from his show from Israel last year (Tel Aviv), which he actually just performed at just recently again. Anyway, thanks for the vids you’re the best🤗

      This was basically to kick off the “touring” of Roger Taylor’s own tribute band of his own band…… Yeah crazy idea😅…. Marc was at the helm until around 2016ish? But Roger created the band (which was called The Queen Extravaganza at the time) & Marc submitted an audition clip & got the gig at the time.

    Sigh…. I react the same way as you whenever I listen to Marc’s version of this gorgeous aria and I’ve listened many times! To answer your last question , Marc sang one song with Brian and Roger on American Idol to introduce Queen Extravaganza, which was a Queen tribute band that Roger put together. He hired Marc to be the lead singer of that group. Marc made an audition video 10 years ago to audition for the band and the video went viral (I’m sure you can imagine why.)

    i believe this is a "dream duet", which never manifested in real life, although this works just fine, y'know?
    marc will never let you down, but he's got a solid cover of "i will always love you", as well as a criminally underrated rendition of radiohead's "karma police"... but all of his '90s covers playlist on his channel are pretty superb.
