Freddie could never accept the fact, hahahaha. He might'd called him a good impression (for what I can see in his interviews about his personality), but he's not an impersonator, his voice is naturally like that, which is magical and awesome!
@@pennywiseopalhacodancarino2853 ? If you're asking why they picked Adam over Marc, from what I heard, they didn't want Marc Martel because he sounded to much like Freddie and they could barely get through a song. *But* that's only what I heard and I could be wrong.
Let me tell you something, when I closed my eyes when Marc started singing, I swore that I heard Freddie Mercury’s voice, it got me emotional! OMG Marc you belong with the real Queen band! Your piano skill is top notch 👍 Thank you so much for presenting that tribute! 😊
when watching this video please do these important steps: 1.dont cry 2.cry Edit 1(took me long enough xd): i went on a two week vacation and were close to 2k you guys are awesome 🤗🤗🤗
My parents met in Freddies concert , and when i showed them this they started crying out of amazement. There will never be another Freddie but hes either his son or im seeing ghosts.
fun fact for those of you who dont know : they actually mixed a lot of marc’s vocals into the Bohemian Rhapsody film when rami had to do the live performances. queen doesnt overlook marc. in fact there was an interview that brian and roger did praising him about how thankful they were that he was able to do the film and contribute his vocals and how they “just can’t not use marc martel”. i feel the only reason why he isnt used in queen as the lead vocalist is because he sounds almost exactly like freddie, which isnt a bad thing at all. but i think it’d be too much of a shock to the bandmates while performing and even the crowd. trust me, if i went to a queen concert and marc was singing id lose my marbles.
I respect your opinion but there's more than that. First off, Brian May loves Adam like his own child. Lambert was already chosen before Marc joined Queen Extravaganza(tribute band of Queen formed by Roger Taylor). Also at the beginning of Queen Extravaganza, Brian and Roger didn't even knew thar Marc can handle the entire show alone. There were 3 to 4 singers at the beginning. And when they realized that, I guess it was already 2016. They probably weren't aware that Martel has won 2 Canadian Grammy awards and 5 Junos awards. And now today, Queen has been touring with Lambert for like 8 years now and they dont want to tour with anyone else. But common, Marc deserves to sing with Queen at least once. He has worked his ass off carrying the legacy of Queen music and spreading it to the young ones out there. As you said, he even provide some vocals for the movie.
Ironic - Official just seeing this now but you do have a good point. i know there was more to them not using marc instead of adam. he is an amazing vocalist and ive been following adam since his idol days, but vocally i think marc would be a better fit. but adam has been doing it for years so i do understand the conflict of interest.
Hi! I'd rather see a Queen concert with Adam than Marc. Here's why First of all, you are right. Marc Sang once with Brian and Rog and they were left in shock. But the special thing Adam has is: His own style. If they got Marc into a tour, it would be sort of "replacing" Freddie with a "copy". Marc has worked a lot to keep Queen Alive and that is awesome. He bought tears to my eyes in every Queen video.
I've seen Freddie 9 times with Queen and been a fan since the 70s. I never thought I would hear another human being with the same powerful clear and concise vocal talent of the Late great Freddie Mercury. Thank you for making my day.
After Freddie's death I couldn't believe that one day someone will come and sing almost identical as him. This is by far the best interpretation and it will stay like that.
I think this performance was his best in terms of sounding EXACTLY like Freddie Mercury. But I can still hear Marc's own voice too. It's like I hear them both at the same time. In other words, Marc is AMAZING!!!
@@pixiesolowing I'd say the reverse, in that Marc doesn't have a strong bass sound to his vocal, so it's difficult for him to match Freddie's "live" tone or the "power" he had in the early 80s. I think of Marc's tone as "brighter" (and he nails that softer sound that Freddie used a lot in recordings) compared to Freddie's "sharper" tone, if that makes any sense.
@@ThatllShowEm I'm comparing Freddie's studio recording with Marc since he mostly done it like the studio version. in live, Freddie's sang at lower note.
Unfortunately, Deacon is playing the UK's longest game of Hide and Seek - which is fair enough. He did what he wanted to do and it's not fair on him to pull him back into the fray unnecessarily.
The reason why marc didn't achive to be the lead singer of Queen because he ignore the offer to be member of illuminati unlike adam. Search for your self Adam's illuminati video
I'm not sure if Marc will do a "one-take" of _Don't Stop Me Now_ since he has a jazzy music video already posted. But if you need a teaser of what that one-take might be like: ua-cam.com/video/wIw1Kqi4B3M/v-deo.html
@@apanrocky3701 Not sure if Marc would go all out like the original music video for _I Want to Break Free_ since there's no costume change when he sings it in concert. ua-cam.com/video/6On7Fd0E7Ro/v-deo.html Might need to enlist Marc's brother David to help if they do, though.
I'd pay money, good money, to see Marc play this, and a few others live with Queen, Heck or even just he and Brian May at a small private engagement. And i'm not even a concert goer. I absolutely love this. Thank you, Marc. So very much.
If you see Brian May's performance of this song you will understand why they can't tour with Marc. Too much feelings man, to hear someone you carried his memories for years beside you but then you look and it's not him. What do you think?

@@octpod3923 Totally needs to do that one! He's been touring with the Black Jacket Symphony singing A Night At The Opera, so fingers crossed that someone finally is able to record it. There's some older video from some Queen Extravaganza concerts, but the audio quality is... meh.
@@ThatllShowEm dude I just saw the lazing on a Sunday afternoon video with Marc he sounds so much like Freddie its amazing and well its a really short song I think its good to open a show with.
@@bexmjt10 If you refer to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, Rami Malek only provided voice for speaking parts, singing parts are mixture of recordings of Freddie Mercury and Marc Martel actually. I believe Rami Malek did try to sing some, but that didn't actually make it into the movie, or the singing was more like humming actually.
You can’t replace Freddie,but you can put on a show for us kiddos who wasn’t even born yet or too young when Freddie was still alive, (you at least give us some experience) 🙏🏻 thank you
I think Marc Martel didn't get enough credit for his work in the 'Bohmian Rhapsody' film. Literally all the non-concert scenes were done by Marc. Rami Malek, despite being a great actor, was simply a shell for Freddie. But Marc's vocals were key in making the vocal scenes work. The beginning audition for Roger/Brian, the Happy Birthday segment, the Love of my Life rendition for Paul Prenter, the Bohemian Rhapsody section in the middle of the film, the Live Aid rehearsal, and bits of Live Aid itself (the Aaayyy-Oh) were all Marc Martel. Rami's quote about a 'mixture of vocals' was misinterpreted. He basically meant he provided the speaking voice, Martel did the non-concert live scenes, and Freddie's playback was used for concert scenes. Hence the "mixture of all 3 vocals". Malek's vocals were not present in any of the vocal performance sequences.
IbTusPeter thank you for clarifying what Rami and others have said about the mixing of Marc, Freddie and Ramis voices for the movie. It’s obvious to anyone that has heard Marc song before that we are not hearing Rami’s voice in any of the singing. I think people are confused and think that their voices were “blended together” when in reality we only ever hear either Marc or Freddie singing.
@@stevenarguelles6624 Queen Extravaganza is what you meant, and that's not Queen. That's a tribute band formed by Roger Taylor. None of the original Queen members perform with that group. Queen has said they will never perform with anyone that sounds like Freddie Mercury, as they would not be able to subject themselves to hours of emotional pain. However, Queen Extravaganza is no longer touring. They stopped in 2016. Marc now performs with another tribute band called The Ultimate Queen Celebration. They are currently touring the US. theultimatequeencelebration.com/shows Marc also contributed a few vocal recordings to the Queen Biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", but to what extent is unknown.
Truly amazing and in no way diminishes Freddie. It truly lifts you up and takes you back 'to a time' and knowing the beat goes on for the next generation. Did I say amazing...? I was watching him do a cover of Freedom by George Michael and it brought me here..
Lets be fair to marc martel. I think this man deserve to have his own identity. He does not need to don the moustache to look exactly like freddie mercury. Lets just know him as the man with the freddie mercury golden voice and give props to the man himself for making an awesome tribute of freddie.
Apparently he was being considered for frontrunner, but Brian couldn't make it through a rehearsal with him because he reminded him too much of Freddie. Basically, he was overqualified.
@@hydra9627 It took 40 years to someone who came this close, and can do it so perfectly and flawlessly, no guarantee this voice will ever come again, not this close for sure
I don’t mean offense to anyone but Queen might have chosen Adam Lambert because they don’t want to replace Freddie but personally I think Mark is incredibly gifted
Yeah. I literally started crying when I heard this(well technically I am right now but not the point) it sounds so similar to him it hurst. I can only imagine how painful it was for Brian. I’m glad they didn’t pick him, it would’ve been too much...
Funny to read that everyone mentions only his voice. As an aspiring piano player who also likes to sing to a few songs, the impressive part of the performance to me is the perfect combination of excellent piano playing and singing at the same time… absolutely world class!
I agree about the piano. : ) If you haven't already check out his one-take of Bohemian Rhapsody with piano and be prepared to have your mind blown ; ) He even plays the guitar parts on the piano.
@@Sassymate92 Marc appeared as a guest on American Idol though I agree he would have killed it as a contestant. ua-cam.com/video/bTV1chNHvD4/v-deo.html [Wait for the surprise ending and see if you can pick which UQC members were also there.]
I get goosebumps and tears falling from my eyes. It's not just his voice, but he has Freddie's pronunciation of words and how he sang it perfectly. I love our Freddie forever.
It's him in every way. The way he talks, indeed facial structure, way of moving, you name it, in everything. Normally you get annoyed if somebody is pretending to be someone else even if is well done, but he is more like trying to be not like him but he can't because they are the same. I am not joking. Reincarnation can happen before death. We can't understand that.
aren't u 12 year olds busy watching fortnite videos? Stop this comparison. They both are great on their own. Even tough Marc is a god compared to farmer boy Adam.
In a pub full of people, they asked me to pick a song to play i said “Ok but close your eyes and tell me who is singing this song” every single person said Freddie. Their faces when they opened their eyes, well done Marc. Truly outstanding
That start "love of my life" scared me how he sounds like Freddie. Edit :Holy cow...i forgot that i wrote a comment here...i just remembered and came to check... Thanks guys for all the likes.
It's not really Freddie though, is it? Sure he sounds the same maybe kinda looks similar but it's Freddie that's gone, him, his personality, the man who he was inside and I personally don't think it can ever be matched. Sorry for the rant, I get that this was a joke I'm sorry
I honestly never leave comments on any videos...but I’ve revisited this cover so much that I’d feel it’d be disrespectful to not say how much I enjoy it...
I was truly touched by this. Of course he’s not trying to replace Freddie, but he sounds almost exactly like him. Freddie said himself ‘You can do anything with my music, just don’t make it boring,’. And you Mark, would’ve made him proud.
@@baileydexter585 Stop talking out of your ass. Rami Malek did sing to get the facial expressions and throat movements correct. They blended it with Marc Martel's voice and, in parts, Freddie's voice. Yes, the live performances were all actual recordings of Queen.
THIS MAN is absolutely incredible!!!!! God gave Freddies' voice and looks to another man!!! He's (Marc), keeping Freddie's music alive for all!!! What a Miracle!!! Freddie's voice is so unique!!! AND, he looks like Freddie, too!! he just doesn't seem to play it up! ANd I JUST LEARNED about this man, yesterday, as a Local Radio Station was playing Christmas Music, and I kept hearing what I thought was Freddie, singing Christmas music! When I did some searching online, Googling, I found MARC Martel!!! He is a Christian Artist, and he has made a fantastic Christmas Song ALBUM!!! So if you all want to get a taste of what your favorite Christmas Carols and Songs of all-time, would have sounded, if Freddie Mercury made a Christmas Album, you are in for a treat on You Tube!!! I am so blown away by this guy, God bless him!!!!!
Welcome to the world of Marc Martel! He's pretty special, I agree! 😊 He has, in fact, recorded about 40 Christmas songs, not including those with his old band Downhere. :)

@@octpod3923 Totally needs to do that one! He's been touring with the Black Jacket Symphony singing A Night At The Opera, so fingers crossed that someone finally is able to record it. There's some older video from some Queen Extravaganza concerts, but the audio quality is... meh.
@@ThatllShowEm dude I just saw the lazing on a Sunday afternoon video with Marc he sounds so much like Freddie its amazing and well its a really short song I think its good to open a show with.
Man this is as close as we can get to Freddie in 2021. Damn.
i do
That or Rami Malek
@@sophiamoura-ln4xw no you don't. First of all you're a female and Freddie was a man
@@bexmjt10 If you refer to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, Rami Malek only provided voice for speaking parts, singing parts are mixture of recordings of Freddie Mercury and Marc Martel actually. I believe Rami Malek did try to sing some, but that didn't actually make it into the movie, or the singing was more like humming actually.
This is the closest I've EVER heard
You did it great, Darling!
-Freddie Mercury
😳
Exactly what he would’ve said to him 😂😂😂😂
@@zaks10285 I can feel it bruh! haha
Fuck no
is freddie mercury nostradamos?
How can Marc so quickly announce “Love of my Life” and so casually sing and play this beautiful song to perfection ?.
You can’t replace Freddie,but you can put on a show for us kiddos who wasn’t even born yet or too young when Freddie was still alive, (you at least give us some experience) 🙏🏻 thank you
Yes he can't replace Freddie.....
But he can replace Adam
😥😥😥😣😣😣😣
All of you have to see this man...he's name ridwan dharmawan,he's from indonesia ua-cam.com/video/kVcdvv-W4rE/v-deo.html
@@Angga-up4ou HIS VIDEOS HAD AUTO PITCH THO
yes
Marc Martel is amazing. Queen should tour with him. I would buy that ticket.
Indeed
I think Marc Martel didn't get enough credit for his work in the 'Bohmian Rhapsody' film. Literally all the non-concert scenes were done by Marc. Rami Malek, despite being a great actor, was simply a shell for Freddie. But Marc's vocals were key in making the vocal scenes work. The beginning audition for Roger/Brian, the Happy Birthday segment, the Love of my Life rendition for Paul Prenter, the Bohemian Rhapsody section in the middle of the film, the Live Aid rehearsal, and bits of Live Aid itself (the Aaayyy-Oh) were all Marc Martel.
Rami's quote about a 'mixture of vocals' was misinterpreted. He basically meant he provided the speaking voice, Martel did the non-concert live scenes, and Freddie's playback was used for concert scenes. Hence the "mixture of all 3 vocals". Malek's vocals were not present in any of the vocal performance sequences.
There should be a documentary piece on his vocalization but it's all about Malik.
IbTusPeter
Absolutely!
Kevin Clark
But the awards!!!! Ever wondered why Malek never sings anything, not even couple of bars, during his interviews on talk shows?
I think they should have Marc perform at the Oscars a medley of those pieces that he sang for the movie.
IbTusPeter thank you for clarifying what Rami and others have said about the mixing of Marc, Freddie and Ramis voices for the movie. It’s obvious to anyone that has heard Marc song before that we are not hearing Rami’s voice in any of the singing. I think people are confused and think that their voices were “blended together” when in reality we only ever hear either Marc or Freddie singing.
Incredible. No words. You're keeping Freddie alive. This made me cry big time.
More Queen piano voice solos please!!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
i agree in 100%
I also agree!
My mum literally walked into the room and said “oh you are listening to Freddie Mercury”
I think this says a lot
Christina Dureva Wow....
All of you have to see this man...he's name ridwan dharmawan,he's from indonesia ua-cam.com/video/kVcdvv-W4rE/v-deo.html
No just the music
the real question is what did your mom say when she found out it wasnt
That’s bullshit. Why tf would she say Freddie? She would definitely say queen.
This is insane!! Marc is no doubt the best on covering Freddie's vocals. Gives me chills.
My thoughts exactly. Chills! Every Queen song he sings... reMARCable.
Marc made me recognize/appreciate Queen. Some reverse-chronological order kinda thing 😂
@@dannyl3417 Oh my! That makes me feel old. I was in the Queen fan club in Jr. High. I was even 20 years behind their heyday.
Marc Martel Should Be The Lead singer in Queen Mouch better than Adam
@@mikolajpaluch4927 i agree 100%
Thank you Marc for keeping the soul of Freddie Mercury alive through your voice, you are the best, I love you and I admire you very much.
If Marc toured with queen i’d fly anywhere in the world to watch.
He does tour with them. Look up Queen experience. Or something like that. It's the group key tours with.
the band said they couldnt take it
@@stevenarguelles6624 Queen Extravaganza is what you meant, and that's not Queen. That's a tribute band formed by Roger Taylor. None of the original Queen members perform with that group. Queen has said they will never perform with anyone that sounds like Freddie Mercury, as they would not be able to subject themselves to hours of emotional pain. However, Queen Extravaganza is no longer touring. They stopped in 2016. Marc now performs with another tribute band called The Ultimate Queen Celebration. They are currently touring the US. theultimatequeencelebration.com/shows Marc also contributed a few vocal recordings to the Queen Biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", but to what extent is unknown.
Can i join you lol i just really want to see queen even with out freddie :(
Dude, his voice is frighteningly like Freddie's
Also his face😧
maybe he is his son@@valerangga7409
@@valerangga7409I agree!! I definitely see a resemblance!
@@mercedezize wait the mustache is on the way there, said the follicle
Is it? We didn’t figure.
Please do a cover of killer queen your voice is absolutely awesome 😻
He already made the cover just search it.
Truly amazing and in no way diminishes Freddie. It truly lifts you up and takes you back 'to a time' and knowing the beat goes on for the next generation. Did I say amazing...? I was watching him do a cover of Freedom by George Michael and it brought me here..
He NEEDS to be the new frontman for Queen. This NEEDS to happen.
Yes!!!! I agree!!!
Yes instead of Adam Lambert
Yessss
Hopefully he has stage presence
U can't just replace Freddie... That's just disrespectful and not necessary
Lets be fair to marc martel. I think this man deserve to have his own identity. He does not need to don the moustache to look exactly like freddie mercury. Lets just know him as the man with the freddie mercury golden voice and give props to the man himself for making an awesome tribute of freddie.
You're right
Freddie*
Apparently he was being considered for frontrunner, but Brian couldn't make it through a rehearsal with him because he reminded him too much of Freddie. Basically, he was overqualified.
He is not second Freddie Mercury
He is first Marc Martel
💥💥💥
Welp he kinda
Yes, indeed!
like for top
Yup thank you for this i didnt wanna do it cause might get flame for it
How can he sit down so casually and sing and play so beautifully.
It's actually insane that someone can sound exactly like Freddie
He doesn't, he's close though
Closest to him alive, He's a gift
@@nikhildixit5551 yeah true
Connor Daniels there’ll be another vocalist eventually that will sound like Freddy again, it really just depends on what they’re like
@@hydra9627 It took 40 years to someone who came this close, and can do it so perfectly and flawlessly, no guarantee this voice will ever come again, not this close for sure
I don’t mean offense to anyone but Queen might have chosen Adam Lambert because they don’t want to replace Freddie but personally I think Mark is incredibly gifted
They did
Yeah. I literally started crying when I heard this(well technically I am right now but not the point) it sounds so similar to him it hurst. I can only imagine how painful it was for Brian. I’m glad they didn’t pick him, it would’ve been too much...
they chose adam for the stage presence with is one of queen's identity to be a performer
Nah I want fo experience queen. Never had the desire to see queen. but with this ..guy for sure!
Funny to read that everyone mentions only his voice. As an aspiring piano player who also likes to sing to a few songs, the impressive part of the performance to me is the perfect combination of excellent piano playing and singing at the same time… absolutely world class!
I agree about the piano. : ) If you haven't already check out his one-take of Bohemian Rhapsody with piano and be prepared to have your mind blown ; ) He even plays the guitar parts on the piano.
Yeah. Marc is a consummate musician!
I agree friend he nails the keys. If only he was on American idol. 😅
@@Sassymate92
No need for AmIdol! AmIdol is for karaoke singers and wannabes!
@@Sassymate92 Marc appeared as a guest on American Idol though I agree he would have killed it as a contestant. ua-cam.com/video/bTV1chNHvD4/v-deo.html [Wait for the surprise ending and see if you can pick which UQC members were also there.]
I get goosebumps and tears falling from my eyes. It's not just his voice, but he has Freddie's pronunciation of words and how he sang it perfectly. I love our Freddie forever.
"Bring it back, bring it back"
Well, he really came back!
😍😍😍❤
Nobody can bring him back unfortunately
He even has the facial structure of Freddie I can’t
It's him in every way. The way he talks, indeed facial structure, way of moving, you name it, in everything. Normally you get annoyed if somebody is pretending to be someone else even if is well done, but he is more like trying to be not like him but he can't because they are the same. I am not joking. Reincarnation can happen before death. We can't understand that.
Jack Daw well it’s impossible since Freddie died in the 90s and he was born in 76
Boy L. Didn't he say "reincarnation can happen before death"?
blu yes but he is saying it could happen that was reincarnated
The way we sound is based off of the formation/structure of our skulls. Residences like the chest and neck count too.
Who is batter?
Marc =like
Adam=coment
aren't u 12 year olds busy watching fortnite videos? Stop this comparison. They both are great on their own. Even tough Marc is a god compared to farmer boy Adam.
@@dr.dabber9981 Actually.... No, Marc is better.
@@mikeychido6937 that's what I said? Marc is a god compared to Adam...
they're not fried chickens. for pete's sake good lord
Wow
How is this even possible. Goosebumps.
In a pub full of people, they asked me to pick a song to play i said “Ok but close your eyes and tell me who is singing this song” every single person said Freddie. Their faces when they opened their eyes, well done Marc. Truly outstanding

Even with my eyes open I see Freddie! 😉
I hear Freddie even when looking at the guy too.

totally made me laugh hahhahhaha
Hahahaha 😂 😂 😂
😂😂😂 lmfao 🤣
My word! You sound just like the man himself! Very talented indeed! 🎹
Us: please bring Freddie back
Universe: here you go
It's not really Freddie though, is it? Sure he sounds the same maybe kinda looks similar but it's Freddie that's gone, him, his personality, the man who he was inside and I personally don't think it can ever be matched. Sorry for the rant, I get that this was a joke I'm sorry

I was truly touched by this. Of course he’s not trying to replace Freddie, but he sounds almost exactly like him. Freddie said himself ‘You can do anything with my music, just don’t make it boring,’. And you Mark, would’ve made him proud.

You are wonderful. I’m sure wherever Freddie is, he adores & appreciates you just as much as I do… Probably more. Fantastic!
I heard that his voice was used in the Bohemian Rhapsody to help Malek perform realistically Freddie,
In the movie Bohemian rhapsody, Rami Malik wasn't singing. They used Freddie's real voice in it.
R/quityourbullshit
Bailey Dexter wrong. They used martels voice for many things that weren’t live performers, ie the happy birthday thing and live aid “ayy-ohs”
@@baileydexter585 Stop talking out of your ass. Rami Malek did sing to get the facial expressions and throat movements correct. They blended it with Marc Martel's voice and, in parts, Freddie's voice. Yes, the live performances were all actual recordings of Queen.
It is confirmed that Marc's, Freddie and Rami's voices were blend together to achieve very natural sound of Freddie.

THIS MAN is absolutely incredible!!!!! God gave Freddies' voice and looks to another man!!! He's (Marc), keeping Freddie's music alive for all!!! What a Miracle!!! Freddie's voice is so unique!!! AND, he looks like Freddie, too!! he just doesn't seem to play it up! ANd I JUST LEARNED about this man, yesterday, as a Local Radio Station was playing Christmas Music, and I kept hearing what I thought was Freddie, singing Christmas music! When I did some searching online, Googling, I found MARC Martel!!! He is a Christian Artist, and he has made a fantastic Christmas Song ALBUM!!! So if you all want to get a taste of what your favorite Christmas Carols and Songs of all-time, would have sounded, if Freddie Mercury made a Christmas Album, you are in for a treat on You Tube!!! I am so blown away by this guy, God bless him!!!!!
Welcome to the world of Marc Martel! He's pretty special, I agree! 😊
He has, in fact, recorded about 40 Christmas songs, not including those with his old band Downhere. :)
