I was literally talking talking to my wife about how I was bullied in school and then I listened to this song and realized I was listening to lies in my head. ❤❤❤
Street Heat I understand what you’re saying but it’s very difficult to be a successful musician even if they have great music. How many excellent, born to be musicians struggle to be recognized? He does have his own music. I think he is changing the world by bringing a little Freddie back to us and bringing more attention to Queen for younger people. I really appreciate what he is doing and so does so many other people. And I think that’s what matters.
❤ indeed! We don't have George around now 😢, but Seal expressed his appreciation for Marc's cover of his song, Kiss From a Rose in a recent New York Times interview. 😊 💥
he is probably the only musician on here that every time you press play he delivers the best version possible of whatever he covers . anything he attempts is top class
@Black Dog Obviously there is no accounting for taste, but perhaps you could regale us with your best rendition so we could sample the sweet nirvana you keep all to yourself.
@Black Dog you seem confused. I am well acquainted with the awesomeness that is George Michael. what I was hoping(and what was clear to everyone but you) that you would give us all a little taste of your ability to cover a song. Surely, seeing as you feel so free to criticize others performances with such eloquent prose, we are all in for quite a treat, as your talents must be beyond stellar, eh?
@Black Dog Lol, ok Dog. Spazzed up? Seems like the only one deeply troubled by Martel is you. Your jealousy and projection is so transparent. "Karaoke fatboy!!!"? when all else fails start name calling, how original. Why do you come and watch his videos if you dislike him so? Surely you have songs to write and gigs to play, being a "professional musician" and all. Keep tryin' you could still make it someday
@Black Dog Yikes! Thanks for the laughs, but I've clearly struck a nerve here and I have no desire to cause stress over someone's opinion. let's just agree that everyone is entitled to theirs . Just one more thing though, You state that you didn't listen to the video; So you just troll Martel and hate on his videos in the comments? Or just this one when you can't sing and rather than try to improve yourself, you hate on someone who possesses such talent and charisma you feel is beyond your reach. There is a word or two for that. But seriously, just let Marc be and focus on your own music if that is something that makes you happy. Cheers
I think it should be noted that Marc is actually playing it a half-step UP in pitch (C#) from the original key of C. Most people lower the pitch so they can sing this
It’s a lot of work. The mental talent and mouth/facial structure helps a lot but most of it is just 1000s and 1000s of hours of practice and listening to your voice and more practice. With enough dedication anybody can be a good singer, not like this though 😂
Best acoustic version of this song I've seen or heard by an absolute mile, great voice and you sound like Freddie Mercury and even look like him also too. 🤣🤣
For the person saying his fingers don't match the notes. That would be entirely incorrect. If you consider a drop D tuning then his fingering makes perfect sense. If you look closely you can see he is fretting the 6th string on the 2nd fret when he plays E (relative to capo). Also his timing on the passing notes on the 6th string is not consistent or perfect and would be hard to sync in a play along. Without any reason to believe otherwise just accept he is playing it and enjoy a truly awesome cover.
Holy shit!... Not only does he sings like a god and play the piano like there's no tomorrow but he also plays the guitar?!... How come this guy is not known world wide?!...
L'année prochaine, le 25 juin 2023, George aurait eu 60 ans. Si vous êtes d'accord, nous demandons à Sony que, pour le 60e anniversaire, un grand spectacle avec ses chansons, ses films, ses interviews, etc. être organisé, d'abord à Londres et, en même temps, dans d'autres villes du monde, où nous l'avons écouté. Ils doivent savoir que les fans sont très déçus et en colère car, plus de 5 ans après sa mort, aucun hommage public ne lui a été rendu. Quelle meilleure occasion de rassembler les fans, de revivre la mémoire de George, sa musique et sa voix et d'impliquer les jeunes ? Merci pour ce que vous faites.
About 2 minutes in to this and I forgot it was a cover, I call that mission accomplished. George Michael is one of the most difficult artists for ANYONE to cover, his dynamics, range, power, breath control, soul and delicacy is a potent combination only a few singers can emulate. Seriously well done mate.
Welcome! Listen to everything on his channel, and search for his name for hundreds of concert videos to enjoy. You have some catching up to do, but you will find he is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds, not by hype, but by talent.
Huge natural talented musician and singer. He has total vocal control of his voice and a great tempo in his hands. You, my friend, are a miracle of nature!
That activity just may have actually happened back in the day, but Marc is a natural and his shirt tells the story. He is the best at it, if you ask me. I never heard a guy sound so good singing and playing these songs. Thank you Marc Martel!
Ooow Yeah WooW Really Great Performance I love it thanks for that outstanding Magnificent & Magic Performance... WooW Great ... Oooo Yeah 🎸🔥🔥🎖🔥🔥🎸 I subscribe
Ich wart schon auf seine Erste GeorgeMichael TributeTour... Ihm wurden die Stimmbänder von Freddie und George reingeklebt...unglaublich dieser Mann!!!! VIELN DANK DAFÜR ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@bethanym9251 Martel can sing anything. The truth is his vocal tone naturally falls somewhere in between Freddie’s and George’s. Marc is not trying to sound like them. Have you heard Marc’s originals? I would much prefer him to mix his Paradise or Dead Ringer or Magnetic, hell, the entire Impersonator album into his Queen sets. His music is so moving and amazingly written! Check it out if you have not already!
Alter. Dicker .Ich hab noch nichts vergleichbares in unserem Sonnensystem gehört.. für dich würde ich auf Augenlicht verzichten brutal brutal you Are de BEST
7 years later and it’s still the best cover of this song.
I agree. Haven’t found a better one so far.
Hands down
And most probably always will be 😅
He ruined all other covers for me. Only Marc does it for me now...haaaaalp😅
Not enough people give you credit for your solid guitar technique!
Nicolas Motte thought it was awesome in this!
Don’t they?
Boi it's easy chords and strumming pattern
HarryDaniel Playz people get amazed by anything hey cant do lol
@@bassesatta9235yeah
Just listened to Adam lambert singing George Michael and had to come here to cleanse my ears . Now THIS is impressive! 🔥🔥
I was literally talking talking to my wife about how I was bullied in school and then I listened to this song and realized I was listening to lies in my head. ❤❤❤
This completely captures the original energy of the song! And with just an acoustic guitar?!?
Some people are born to be musicians... Marc martel is one of them
@@streetheat3366 I'd argue he is an excellent musician in his own right. Downhere has some great songs
@@streetheat3366 Don't you think that you have to be a great musician to be able to "impersonate" singers like George or Freddie??? I certainly do.
Street Heat I understand what you’re saying but it’s very difficult to be a successful musician even if they have great music. How many excellent, born to be musicians struggle to be recognized? He does have his own music. I think he is changing the world by bringing a little Freddie back to us and bringing more attention to Queen for younger people. I really appreciate what he is doing and so does so many other people. And I think that’s what matters.
@@streetheat3366 a true musician/artist cares more about his craft than making hits.
Definitely agree with this!
I wish George Michael could have seen this...what his work inspired, the quality and the love.
I love your comment! 💥

MAN!!!!! I am speechless...
Amazing Marc, thank you so much!!! Merci Merci! Obrigado!
I have tickets to see this talented gent with the Boston Pops in May. ❤❤❤
Imagine opening your mouth and this is what comes out! Holy moly! It must be amazing being this talented. 😮
That's what I always think! How wonderful would be to have talent for singing or playing!!
It’s a lot of work. The mental talent and mouth/facial structure helps a lot but most of it is just 1000s and 1000s of hours of practice and listening to your voice and more practice.

Epic cover of a high degree-of-difficulty song!
I've quickly decided this bloke's my favourite of all the "acoustic cover" people.
Wow! Amazing job!!! George Michael would be proud.
I love that power even in the low parts
Marc, please come perform in the UK.
Buddy.... the ultimate cover of this song...hands down!
Best acoustic version of this song I've seen or heard by an absolute mile, great voice and you sound like Freddie Mercury and even look like him also too. 🤣🤣
Just like George. I AM HIPNOTIZED

Thanks for sharing your analysis!
It is a shame people without the knowledge and ability to do what Marc does, or understand it like you, want to shoot it down out of sheer jealousy.
Outta this world, dude!!!!
This is unfrickenbelievably awesome ! Lot's of great covers on the ol' Tube....this is one of the best !
Holy shit, dude. It's rare to find a cover thats equal to the original.
Currently my favorite cover on the internet. This is so effin good
ua-cam.com/video/ZJq1FS72ZQ4/v-deo.html
Holy shit!... Not only does he sings like a god and play the piano like there's no tomorrow but he also plays the guitar?!...
How come this guy is not known world wide?!...
E Gagnon
Getting there
And drums.
He is!😜
all in GODS time!

I have added 1 mil views to this song I love it so much ❤
Good god this is good. 🔥🔥🔥
I don't think I'll ever grow tired of it! 🔥
Now that's a cover!
Sin duda George estaría encantado con este cover.... buenísimo
This is what pure talent sound like......simply sublime.
WHAT IS THIS?!?! *melts*
I watch all your videos over and over again, but it's first time I've heard this one. Phenomenal! I'm going to start figuring it out tomorrow. Thanks!
THE.BEST.VOCAL.ARTIST.IN.UA-cam Absolutely AMAZING. Where are the fucking producers!!!!!!!!????? Take this guy to the fucking moon!
They did take him to the BoRhap film to do most of Freddie's vocals. I wish they mentioned his contribution more
Nailed it ! What a voice !
This guy is a total pro!!!
fav song on earth
Dude! Best cover of this song
Freddy Mercury sings George Michael's "Freedom '90"......bravo !
For me the best singer at this moment in time...2018😉
for many!
you should listen to Michal Shapira.. thus guy is the best male singer and she is my fav too
I was thinking about the same thing. Versatile is the attribute that describes his voice. Congrats Marc!
Agree 100%! Record MORE!
2019?

rolybling i
Well said!! All while playing the guitar... seriously Marc, incredible artistry!!
YES !!
Plays the pianno and sings Freddie Mercury.. Plays the guitar and sings George Michael... not bad
Facts!
Fark.
Chills.
My man. ✊🏽
All his work is impeccable. Love his George Michael covers. Always a bit of Freddie in there.
Очень технично и стабильно звучит голос😊 Красиво
George and Freddie please! Love your musicality.
Check Marc’s latest livestream. He covered Mother’s Pride! 😍😍😍
Love this guy! He deserves all the credit he receives! Amazing!
REBECCAAAA!!! I love u so much girl😄😄😄
It’s like Freddie Mercury covering a George Michael’s song. Love it!
He’s a better singer than Freddy. Not the showman but better vocally.
@@hutzman7664
Marc is a quintessential showman!
@@hutzman7664 lol.. Still No one can match Freddie's voice
searching for an acoustic cover and found this. this so kick ass.
I know we're just a Saturday Night bar-band, but DUDE!!! Come to Philly soon!!! ROKKON \m/
Amazing,we are all waiting more 90s songs
ok, that was cool!!!
To make this sound soooo good on an acoustic with no fx or backing is just outstanding.
Well, that was beyond fantastic.
You're so amazing! Glad I was able to see you in Charleston with Black jacket symphony...
This gives me goosebumps all these years later. A masterpiece!
So Good !!!!
Awesome, man! Respect fm Indonesia
Me : going to his concert in August 2021 in Québec 🇲🇶
Respect.
Absolutely perfect..you're coming to SW Florida.. I need the promo code
If the guitar and vocals were recorded separately it would still be awesome but the two together ... You rock man!
I'm serious when I say this, I've been listening to great music for 50 years, and Marc is one of the best I've ever heard. My new favorite singer!
Welcome! Listen to everything on his channel, and search for his name for hundreds of concert videos to enjoy. You have some catching up to do, but you will find he is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds, not by hype, but by talent.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest thank you. I plan on trying to catch up on his work. He is one talented singer.
Marc you bad ass!
Beautiful song ! Well done !!
Omg, it's the best cover that i've hear
What a guitar and voice skill...
You were AWESOME!! Thank you!!
Great job 🤟🤠🤟
@marcmartel thank you 🙏
Huge natural talented musician and singer. He has total vocal control of his voice and a great tempo in his hands. You, my friend, are a miracle of nature!
💥💥💥
You are George Michael and Freddy Mercury’s Love Child. Well done Marc. Well done.
Ha! Ha! Marc, I can just picture your parents faces upon hearing this theory!
He's Marc Martel
😂 that is a sweet comment.
That activity just may have actually happened back in the day, but Marc is a natural and his shirt tells the story. He is the best at it, if you ask me. I never heard a guy sound so good singing and playing these songs. Thank you Marc Martel!

So handsome!!! 😍
Very nice performance

God bless u brother
Just listened to Robbie Williams' cover of the same, but this vocal is much stronger! It's like a mix of Freddy Mercury and George Michael.
Perfect
Marc, your voice and playing together are both phenomenally good! Thanks for that awesome cover! Getting goose bumps!
Any info about he will make a George Michael tribute concert? Sure many many people would be interested. He sing outstanding
Well, that'd be amazing! He tours year-round with his Queen tribute. Maybe it's time he switches it up? 😊
I wish he would sing more GM. I think he’s better than any other singer covering George right now.
Perfect! Wow ! Best !
Awesome simply brilliant
First to sing such flawlessly and second the guitaring is out of this world.. absolutely brilliant
Ich wart schon auf seine Erste GeorgeMichael TributeTour...
Ihm wurden die Stimmbänder von Freddie und George reingeklebt...unglaublich dieser Mann!!!! VIELN DANK DAFÜR ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That would be amazing if he started performing George covers on tour. Who else can sing like Freddie and George Michael? ❤

Wow, just what I wanted and needed!
Incredible! Every time I listen to your songs I get chills!! excellent! my children love you!
Wow. Looks very similar to Freddie Mercury! Great voice, great guitar playing.
To say that his renditions are outstanding is a massive understatement.
Unbelievably beautiful cover! The best cover of this song!
BTW You should have been the front man for Queen without any doubt
Yes sir!!!
This guy is something else. Am transfixed.
