Hello all! First, RIP to Freddie Mercury and much respect to Queen for writing this epic song. Have you ever heard Marc Martel before? Wow, BIG round of applause for this performance! Send your comments and suggestions down below... thanks & much love to everyone!!!
Amazing reaction! You are a great reactor, that really takes time to look at what you are reacting to. I would love to see your insight on some of Queen's early music. As a metalhead you should really check out some of Queen's early music, and their later music. There are so many great Queen live performances to enjoy, they were voted as the best live band in the 70's and 80's. Most people only know their hits which is something that happens with any big band, very few people realize they were a progressive/ metal band at the start of their career that later ventured into many different genres, for their last albums they returned to their more earlier roots. From Queen's first album I would suggest Son & Daughter with Modern Times Rock 'n Roll the two song are mashed together on this live version live at The Rainbow 1974 ua-cam.com/video/6feQipHx3Xg/v-deo.html. Or The Great King Rat live at the Rainbow 1974 ua-cam.com/video/nNDOazfRg08/v-deo.html. Or Queen's very first single Keep Yourself Alive live in Houston 1977 ua-cam.com/video/SFeiCElLzY8/v-deo.html. These are great songs and great performances which might surprise you, they are all from Queen's debut album Queen I from 1973.
@@ZENOBlAmusic he's my younger cousin and I've been watching him throughout his journey here. Danny has shown a lot of progression and continues to get better = better entertainment for us viewers. I agree that he needs to checkout some older, heavier Queen. No matter what he does with this band I feel that there's no weakness. Take care!
I discovered several months ago. Heard him sing Unchained Melody. Was just a lyric video. I swore it was Freddy till I looked at a live video. Mark also provided vocals for the BR movie. Parts they did not have Freddie's vocals, Mark sang them. He also tours with Roger and the Queen Extravaganza. He also has covered many other artist, and it is astonishing how good they are. Very talented man.
I have both seen Marc Martel perform Queen songs with the Black Jacket Symphony (a group that picks a band and an album and performs it live, then performs greatest hits after an intermission) when they performed A Night At The Opera and I have met him at a convention in Tennessee......really nice and humble guy and is awesome with fans
@R&T M i listened to a studio version of we are the champions (you are the champions) singed by adam and he sounds really good... in live he's a fucking chicken
Hello @Guido Carapellucci! I have not seen Bohemian Rhapsody but I'm more interested in doing so now more than ever. A couple Queen reactions in including 2 Bohemian Rhapsody reactions... learning more about Queen and I want MORE. Thanks for the view/comment 😊👏
@@Cbrchriss i like the movie... i think it was lacking in the in depth details of what actually happend. They Missed a big chunk of Freddies life out and bits of the movie that where at the wrong times. But it was a good movie.
Yeah, I have to agree that Mr. Martel is that good.... very impressed by his talent and how people talk about him as a person. Thank you @Jared Moss ✌👏
Marc Martel was the lead singer for Queen Extravaganza. A cover Queen band picked by Queen’s drummer, Roger Taylor. He is from Montreal, Canada. His audition for the band is on You Tube as well - Somebody to Love. He also sings the incomplete vocals for Bohemian Rhapsody movie.
Right... all natural (well minus a little echo). I guess he was or his vocals are in the new movie. I'm sure I will be reacting to more of his content in the future. Thanks for all the support 👏👊
He does not sound just like Freddie. You can tell their voices apart pretty easily if have listened to Queen a few times. Generally he does not have the same power in his voice. Freddie also has a sharper tone. But there is definitely a resemblance.
@@DannymikReacts Can we say that he has NO big problems singing without any support? But yes, let's say it. ;)) ua-cam.com/video/c6BZQGg5Vto/v-deo.html
Dude sound like Freddie holy shnickles! And kinda resembles him a bit too, mainly the buck teeth which I believe helped assist Freddie with his vocal range. Where in the bloody hell did this guy come from? Man he's good. Nice find Danny and always a steller reaction. Peace and chicken grease! ;)
I know you did this awhile back. But if you type in Marc Martel Bohemian Rhapsody there is a video where he performed this song at a church with a whole band and back up singers and it sounds phenomenal. Also if you feel like visiting this again No one on UA-cam has reviewed You Take My Breath Away, it's An Amazing performance
I don't care how incredible voice Adam Lambert has. He doesn't sound like Freddie and for me... that's the issue. To hear, somehow, "Freddie's voice" again. And Marc Martel is probably, the only person on the planet that can do that possible. He is an amazing musician and performer, end of story.
You're right... his vocals are not a question. His personality and the way he performs is something I noticed. I'm still not sure why they picked Adam Lambert but it is what it is. Management has a different philosophy. Thank you for your time checking this one out 🤘✌
Dude is even cooler in person. Family in music business and never has my dad (pro singer entire life) been impressed by another singer as he is with Marc
I'm confused why Adam Lambert is Queen's frontman over Marc but what do I know. There's a lot to like in this performance. And to think I never heard of him (until this reaction)... I've never seen Bohemian Rhapsody either. Thank you for your time!!
If Bohemian Rhapsody was not playing in the background, I'd have said that this guy was having a boner🤣JK He was so impressed with Marc's resemblance to Freddie...
One of the most amazing covers is Marc Martel Under Pressure Tristan the guitarist sounds like David Bowie it is amazing and phenomenal it's incredible
Plays piano exactly like Freddie he plays this song on piano in concert he is a Canadian Freddie 😍 the raspiness and his similar sinus cavities and jaw is what makes him sometimes sound like him it’s incredible I can’t wait to see him again I don’t know when that’ll be but I’m ready for it
He's not Freddie but when you consider those who try to emulate him I'd say that Marc hit high marks across the board. He's.One.Talented. Guy!!! Thank you for your support 👏✌
@@DannymikReacts I know he’s not Freddie I was just saying he’s similar to him I should of just said similar to Freddie the way he plays piano and certain notes sounding similar
Okay, who else closed their eyes during this and was hearing Freddie Mercury and not Marc Martel? That was freakin' insane, freakin' awesome! He hit those high notes perfect, that piano was on point, oh my god, the words it gave me chills is used way too much but that was one of those chills moment!
You're right, Marc knocked it outta the park on this cover (of 1 of the most epic rock & roll songs of all time). He's good.... real good 👏😎 Thank you and happy holidays!!
Thank you for noticing he has a flair of his own! I know him best from his originals before I saw him performing Queen, so I see so much of Marc in this performance. There aren't many of us that say it out loud.
Saw Queen live 1980 with Freddie then again 2019 with Adam and i saw Marc in 2019 he is an amazing performer and absolutely blew me away. He did singing on The Bo Rhap movie and it is hard to tell the difference. I have to say seeing Freddie was the highlight of my life. Queen forever!!
Roger and Brian went on a nationwide hunt for singers to join their cover group Queen Extravaganza and asked singers to send in their auditions. Of course, they chose Marc Martel - you should watch Marc's audition - Somebody To Love. this cover band toured and we went to see them - they were pretty good. none of the showmanship like Freddie and not alot of what you expect from Queen i.e. lights etc. but very well worth the price of the tickets. Thanks for sharing this. Yes. Marc did some of the vocals in Bohemian Rhapsody the movie. Rock on
From what I've heard... Marc had a falling out with Brian and Roger and that's why they don't use him in the band... it's a shame because he's heads above screeching Lambert who couldn't lick Marc' s boots
Montreal born, Nashville based Christian rock singer who was discovered during Roger Taylor's quest for a members of the official Queen tribute band, Queen Extravaganza
Marc was part of a very successful Christian band called Downhere. You should check out some of their originals. They were all very talented musicians and put on one of the best concerts over ever been to, balancing and blending the sounds of the instruments and voices better than any other live performance.
Danny my reaction was everything you were saying, & his voce is raw. No reverb at all man !! NOBODY OUT THERE CAN TOUCH MARC MARTL, WHEN IT COMES TO SOUNDING LIKE FREDDIE MERCURY, & his talented voice !
He's REALLY good... and I found out that he did Somebody to Love.. I just reacted to that song by Queen (1981 performance in Montreal). Thank you for the view ✌
Got to watch his new "Under Pressure" video...it's just crazy. I know Queen wanted a new fresh look by having Adam Lambert take the lead...but I have to tell you...you do a split concert with Adam singing the first set with Marc closing out the 2nd...you tell me who nails Freddie...and it isn't Adam...this guy is like Freddie Mercury took over his body or something...I would love to see the crowds reaction to him at a live Queen concert as a special guest...it would be spectacular...
Well if I ever get my butt down to Nashville I'm looking for him to shake his hand! Okay, I know that wouldn't happen but I really respect him. Thank you for your time here 👏✌👊
Performing covers just like the original do not always go over all that well for me but this was excellent. This young man right here has a gift and it looks like he's using it. Awesome reaction, Danny!
Duuuuude - he's sooooo good! he sounds so accurate. Is this the dude that was the actual singer for the movie? I think it has to be him, right? No other person on Earth can quite replicate Freddie Mercury's vocal range. Incredible! Great reaction as always, Danny!
From what I'm hearing, Marc Martel's vocals are a big part of the movie. Now I haven't seen this movie yet but I will check it out. I must learn more about Queen as a group and continue reacting to their content... they are a band that is on an island all by themselves. I usually like heavier music but their talent sucks me in. Marc Martel is beaming with talent and I shall do another one of his covers. He also has a very passionate fanbase and they've supported this video as well as his channel nicely. I'm glad you appreciated his work here and enjoyed my reaction. Thanks and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving 👏✌💪👊
He is THE best, next to Freddie himself. We've seen him in concert, and he is just as incredible. Roger Taylor discovered him to keep their original sound alive when he held a massive competition in 2011. Brilliant, lucky us!
Amazing reaction!!! Now you really have to watch many videos of him..brcause it's mind-blowing!! He did Love of my Life, Who wants to live forever, I want to break free recently, Don't stop me now.. And he did some other cover like Hallejuah in the style of Jeff Buckley, he did Unchained Melody by Righteous Brothers who's mind blowing too.. You really have to check this amazing guy named Marc Martel because he is underrated!!
Where have you been....lol jk better late than never and welcome to the club. Another one very worth checking out is Marc’s cover of Seal’s “kiss from a rose”
I've been a fan of Marc Martel since I first heard him sing his song called How Many Kings, with his christian band called, downhere, about 13 years ago. From the first time I heard that song on the radio, I thought, "WOW", he sounds just like Freddie Mercury. It was incredible. Then years later Marc posted his audition video here on youtube, for the new Queen band, singing Somebody To Love. It again was amazing. I highly suggest you check both of these songs out with Marc Martel. How many Kings - downhere Somebody to Love - Marc Martel audition video.
What's goin on bro!?! Awesome to see you're finally hearing Marc Martel! his resemblance to Freddie is remarkable!! Looks and Voice! Makes me wonder if he is a reincarnation of Freddie...cuz honestly...if you threw a mustache on Marc, i dont think anyone could tell the difference!! lmfao!
Just heard about this man as well and saw this performance and mannnnnn it's uncanny how much he sounds like Freddie Mercury!! Thanks for including the lyrics of the song to follow along (haha we know all the lyrics but the bridge part I still mess up on) and yeah what a brilliant performance!
Many people cover this song but Marc hit Freddie's style on a variety of accounts. I now see that people are discovering him and that's a very good thing... he deserves the credit. Thank you for your interest!!
As a band, Queen Extravaganza (with Martel) said their favourite song to perform as a group, was The Show Must Go On because of the story behind it. You can see the emotion in this performance. ua-cam.com/video/uo6N01-3wYM/v-deo.html
Also check out Prophet's Song to see a very difficult song to sing. Queen rarely did it live but Martel nails it. ua-cam.com/video/5qGG0cMMiEM/v-deo.html
I usually don't like covers (where they attempt to sound like the original artist) but this was great, even you were clearly impressed! But maybe that's a testament to the song tbh
Man, this was an awesome reaction. Thank you. Btw, you favor you looks with this famous actor I just love. I can't think of good name right now tho. Okay, peace
Yeah dude, that man is pure fire! He made the executive of queen cry when he sang live for him for the first time. No wonder why Marc matel is cover voice singer for the bohemian rhapsody. everyone doesnt know that, but think it is freddie, nope almost everything is sang by Marc.
Welcome to the World of the reincarnet voice of Freddie . Marc Martel was the voice of the movie Bohemian Rapsody . Saw him live in cologne! Look at his channel:)
@@DannymikReacts Used to be with Roger's Queen Extravaganza. That band is now led by Alirio Netto, though that's rarely advertised. Marc's own world touring band is called One Vision of Queen these days.
Welcome to the world of Marc Martel. What u just watched is a unicorn. Queen/Freddie never performed the whole song live. The opera section was taped (they left the stage). There is NO recording of Freddie singing/playing the piano of the entire song as a solo piece. Dig deeper into Marc and you will not be disappointed.
When this was recorded, Freddie did all of the voice parts in the operatic section...middle of the song. That's why queen couldn't perform it live. Freddie couldn't do all the parts at the same time, live. He recorded the parts over each other.
@@kellycrook543 Actually, Brian and Roger did some of the harmonies. In fact it is Roger who hits the high note at the end of the operatic segment. That is why Marc chooses to sing in the range that Freddie chose for that moment. Having seen them on the Day At The Races tour I can tell you that that section was not possible technically to do live...that is why they left the stage. Today they would track it and everyone would sing along.
You got that right. And it looks like Marc has studies Freddie with his expressions. It's obvious that I'm a fan... thank you for your time and happy holidays :)
@@DannymikReacts All physical resemblance between Marc and Freddie is purely serendipitous. Marc always performs as Marc and doesn’t try to look like or act like Freddie. Brian May himself has stated that Marc naturally has similar voice and similar presence to Freddie.

I must learn more about Queen as a group and continue reacting to their content... they are a band that is on an island all by themselves. I usually like heavier music but their talent sucks me in.
Marc Martel is beaming with talent and I shall do another one of his covers. He also has a very passionate fanbase and they've supported this video as well as his channel nicely. I'm glad you appreciated his work here and enjoyed my reaction. Thanks and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving 👏✌💪👊
Marc Is a Canadian singer/songwriter from Montreal, Quebec
He is THE best, next to Freddie himself. We've seen him in concert, and he is just as incredible. Roger Taylor discovered him to keep their original sound alive when he held a massive competition in 2011. Brilliant, lucky us!
In 2011.
@@papabearM3 Thank you! Corrected above. 😊

@@DannymikReacts i know the feeling. would do the same. mean no harm. :)
I totally understand... having some fun with this one. Stay safe out there ✌
Marc sounds like Freddie on the record. Superb! Check out Marc's old band called Downhere.
He's definitely impressive... reminds me to get back to him and roll out another Marc Martel reaction. Thanks for your time ✌👏
Perfect
Thank you for the view and comment 👏✌
Amazing reaction!!! Now you really have to watch many videos of him..brcause it's mind-blowing!! He did Love of my Life, Who wants to live forever, I want to break free recently, Don't stop me now.. And he did some other cover like Hallejuah in the style of Jeff Buckley, he did Unchained Melody by Righteous Brothers who's mind blowing too.. You really have to check this amazing guy named Marc Martel because he is underrated!!
He did freddie's voice in some parts of the bohemian rhapsody movie
All bro, not some part
@@queenjabar4383 I think it's a mix of him, and Freddie's I guess.
@@queenjabar4383 Marc only sang the parts where there was no official, or otherwise, recordings of Freddie.
wow, wow, wow...
wow...
wow...wow...
Did I really WOW you here 😏😂✌
Thanks for the laugh 👏💪
I love how you look so happy listening to Marc.
Oh, and you haven't heard his cover of Love of My Life. 😂😂😂
I haven't heard that cover... is it a funny side of him on display?? Thank you 👏✌
@@DannymikReacts ua-cam.com/video/VcPQXyBUJW4/v-deo.html and we'll all be waiting for your next reaction video.. 😁✌️
He travels worldwide in a Queen cover band. He also sang in the Bo Rhap movie.
Where have you been....lol jk better late than never and welcome to the club. Another one very worth checking out is Marc’s cover of Seal’s “kiss from a rose”
Oh Yes Marc Martel is really good you definitely check some of his other videos
He needs so much more credit than what he gets
His tones and timbre 100% Freddy Mercury!
I've been a fan of Marc Martel since I first heard him sing his song called How Many Kings, with his christian band called, downhere, about 13 years ago. From the first time I heard that song on the radio, I thought, "WOW", he sounds just like Freddie Mercury. It was incredible. Then years later Marc posted his audition video here on youtube, for the new Queen band, singing Somebody To Love. It again was amazing. I highly suggest you check both of these songs out with Marc Martel.
How many Kings - downhere
Somebody to Love - Marc Martel audition video.
What's goin on bro!?! Awesome to see you're finally hearing Marc Martel! his resemblance to Freddie is remarkable!! Looks and Voice! Makes me wonder if he is a reincarnation of Freddie...cuz honestly...if you threw a mustache on Marc, i dont think anyone could tell the difference!! lmfao!
@Jeff Buckley, sorry but Marc was born while Freddie was still alive, so no reincarnation. :)
Jeff, Marc has grown a mustache before there's a few videos of it online if you wanna see that, he does look even more like Freddie with it.
Marc Martel’s voice talent is heard throughout the movie Bohemian Rhapsody
Just heard about this man as well and saw this performance and mannnnnn it's uncanny how much he sounds like Freddie Mercury!! Thanks for including the lyrics of the song to follow along (haha we know all the lyrics but the bridge part I still mess up on) and yeah what a brilliant performance!
Do I think it was a pretty good performance, dude, it is the best cover of anything on this planet ! ! !
Many people cover this song but Marc hit Freddie's style on a variety of accounts. I now see that people are discovering him and that's a very good thing... he deserves the credit. Thank you for your interest!!
You need to check out his cover of I Will Always Love You. It is insane.
He did it live and I was floored.

As a band, Queen Extravaganza (with Martel) said their favourite song to perform as a group, was The Show Must Go On because of the story behind it. You can see the emotion in this performance. ua-cam.com/video/uo6N01-3wYM/v-deo.html
Also check out Prophet's Song to see a very difficult song to sing. Queen rarely did it live but Martel nails it. ua-cam.com/video/5qGG0cMMiEM/v-deo.html
he make Céline Dion cry ..while singning one queen's song...
I usually don't like covers (where they attempt to sound like the original artist) but this was great, even you were clearly impressed! But maybe that's a testament to the song tbh
Marc id not trying to sound like Freddie, he just does. They are sound-a-likes.
try to watch and listen to REO BROTHERS. This i recommend.
Ah you stuck gold lol if you love Queen/Freddie Marc is the man he is a gift from Freddie The Show Must Go On
Man, this was an awesome reaction. Thank you. Btw, you favor you looks with this famous actor I just love. I can't think of good name right now tho. Okay, peace
Thank you so much... Marc killed it in this song! I had no idea who he was but I sure do now. What actor were you thinking of?
Mark Raffelo excuse my spelling. ☺️
Marc has his own band called Queen extravaganza he made Celine Dion cry you just need to look it up on u tube once again love from Canada
No Marc is not in Extravaganza anymore. His band is Ultimate Queen Celebration.
Marc this video never gets old we love that you have returned Freddie's beautiful voice to us. 😘
Marc is absolutely amazing! I get chills he sounds like Freddie!
He has so much talent, tons of potential, and I'm hearing that he's a very humble human being... that's impressive stuff! Thank you for your time 👏✌
Marc Martel is phenomenal!!❤❤🥰🥰🥰❤❤
Yeah dude, that man is pure fire! He made the executive of queen cry when he sang live for him for the first time. No wonder why Marc matel is cover voice singer for the bohemian rhapsody. everyone doesnt know that, but think it is freddie, nope almost everything is sang by Marc.
Ok then smart ass
Class....Dissmissed. shall I pick the mic up now mr. Martel?
MarcMartel queewn's audition...>> ... Roger Taylor's eaction was epic
Freddie Marc-ury
Hahahaha this is great! Thank you for your time ✌👏
Don't know about the shirt but Marc was born in Montreal and currently lives in Nashville.
Dear sir Marc's vocals were used in the BoRhap movie where they didn't have Freddie's....and no f ing up!! Ever! Check out his channel!!💜
Welcome to the World of the reincarnet voice of Freddie .
Marc Martel was the voice of the movie Bohemian Rapsody .
Saw him live in cologne!
Look at his channel:)
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow, wow!!! Thank you for the WOW!!
Simplemente GRANDIOSO !
Now we need someone who sing like like him , wuuuuauuuu
Ohhhhhh yeah!! Thank you for your time ✌👏
Martel can do a queen cover and not make us cringe that's how good he is!
Marc Martell sings as Freddie in the movie and is the singer with the Queen Extravaganza.
Queen Extravaganza... I will have to check that out. Thank you so much for your time ✌🙌
@@DannymikReacts And while you're at it, you could check out Marc's band Downhere. They made some good rock!
@@DannymikReacts Used to be with Roger's Queen Extravaganza. That band is now led by Alirio Netto, though that's rarely advertised. Marc's own world touring band is called One Vision of Queen these days.
Welcome to the world of Marc Martel. What u just watched is a unicorn. Queen/Freddie never performed the whole song live. The opera section was taped (they left the stage). There is NO recording of Freddie singing/playing the piano of the entire song as a solo piece. Dig deeper into Marc and you will not be disappointed.
This
When this was recorded, Freddie did all of the voice parts in the operatic section...middle of the song. That's why queen couldn't perform it live. Freddie couldn't do all the parts at the same time, live. He recorded the parts over each other.
@@kellycrook543 Actually, Brian and Roger did some of the harmonies. In fact it is Roger who hits the high note at the end of the operatic segment. That is why Marc chooses to sing in the range that Freddie chose for that moment. Having seen them on the Day At The Races tour I can tell you that that section was not possible technically to do live...that is why they left the stage. Today they would track it and everyone would sing along.
Wow i see fredie back to life
This how many times he said wow⤵
Such a shame Martel isn't the vocalist touring with May and Taylor
Marc martel also was hired to do some of Freddies vocals in the recent movie about Queen.
Strangely enough, he even somewhat resembles Freddie in appearance as well.
You got that right. And it looks like Marc has studies Freddie with his expressions. It's obvious that I'm a fan... thank you for your time and happy holidays :)
@@DannymikReacts
All physical resemblance between Marc and Freddie is purely serendipitous. Marc always performs as Marc and doesn’t try to look like or act like Freddie. Brian May himself has stated that Marc naturally has similar voice and similar presence to Freddie.
