Before I began performing the music of Queen in 2012 - incredibly - I had never heard this song. After a few shows with the Queen Extravaganza, though, and absorbing the song’s cadence, it quickly became one of my favorites to perform - not only because of its breathtaking classical intricacy, but also for the way it arrests the audience’s attention every. single. time. in a way that no other Queen song seems to do. The song recently took on new meaning for me when someone (and I regrettably forget who) told me that Fred wrote it from the perspective of Mary Austin, as an empathetic love letter, fully aware of the toll their relationship had on her. I don’t know if that’s true, but it makes the lyric so much heavier for me.
When I picture the quintessential “young Freddie,” this is the voice I hear in my head. The fragility and vulnerability he displayed in the original recording of “Love Of My Life” is astounding. He was truly fearless in displaying his feminine side, which is maybe the most important thing I learned from him as a singer. As a musical product of early 90s grunge, I came up with the impression that masculinity must always sound deep and guttural, something my vocal cords never allowed me to do very convincingly. I cringe a bit when I listen to my early recordings! I was always a little shy about the fact that I could sing very softly and breathy - almost like a girl. I guess you could say Freddie gave me permission to let that side of my voice out into the open, and to embrace it.
I always dedicate this one to his memory because it feels like the appropriate thing to do. It always seems like the perfect moment in a set list of bombastic anthems to pause, and truly take into account the singular talent that was Freddie Mercury.
(S/O to Brandon Ethridge for the inspiration behind incorporating the guitar parts into the piano arrangement. Brilliant! Check out his hilarious music-geek UA-cam series "WHERE'S THE F-ing BEAT?!?")

I thought it was lip sync at first but i was VERY wronggGGGgG. I wuv his voice!💕
Yeah that´s true
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!
His voice brings tears to my eyes. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.
ah, hes not that bad
Good to know im not The only one that have teara in my eyes
Make no mistake, this is Marc and not Fred. All the merit to him for vocal quality and excellent technique!
MARC MARTEL-"I am a sucker for a good ballad"
FREDDIE MERCURY-"No darling its beautiful;"

It’s great
Bruh that means he likes ballad. It doesn't mean he's bad. Overrated comment.

@@zaks10285 I can feel it bruh! haha
Fuck no
is freddie mercury nostradamos?
After 4 years of this video being posted I still come back to listen and smile!
Holy shit. Your voice sounds just like him!
I had to do a double take. Iconic voice, you sir are blessed.
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 see. This is the kind of comment I love to read. Articulate and kind to all. You’re a good person. The world needs more of you.
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.
Madi K I agree!
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.
“They’re all singing for you” shit this hit me so hard in the movie 💔
I cried through the whole movie lol
me too
Same here.
because it’s true😭
Absolutely above and beyond sensational. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
How can Marc so quickly announce “Love of my Life” and so casually sing and play this beautiful song to perfection ?.
*QUEEN (Roger and Brian) + Marc Martel + John Deacon back again = PERFECTION!*
El Analista no será perfecto. Será hermoso, pero no perfecto.
John Deacon is absolutely incredible!
No cause he is a rip off Freddie
Yes perfection , bc Queen with all of it's members is heavenly.
Fuck off
If this isn't the spirit of Freddie himself inside this man idk what this is.
His voice. ☺
Ben Kirby tf
Lol
Am I wrong tho? Marc is amazing.
Marc might be freddie's reincarnation. I mean they both do look alike too not only the voice. lol
Incredible. No words. You're keeping Freddie alive. This made me cry big time.
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

Exede Hi I did a cover of this song. You might want to check it out 🥺
Johanna Pupos sorry if you saw a mean comment, my brother was on my iPad. I checked out your video you have a great voice!
This guy has perfected his Freddy voice, it s quite amazing..also a very good musician, true talent!
Thank you dear for this song.Queen was better.
His facial structure and airways are incredibly similar to Freddie's.
This is his natural voice😊 Even before he knows who Freddie Mercury was, people would tell him that his voice sounded like Freddie's. Amazing right? He's not trying to imitate him, he's just now a huge fan of Queen who enjoys singing Queen's music. I went to the tribute concert a couple of days ago and he was such a humble person enjoying Queen's music with all of us. He told us "that's what's music is all about" (enjoying). It was awesome!!!
That’s bcuz he IS Freddie! Freddie went into cryosleep hoping to be revived one day in the future when there would be a cure for AIDS. He gambled & won!!
Studied this guy... Think this is impossible unless it's actually Freddie himself! (Freddie matured)
There's no one in this world that can exactly like Freddie..BUT Marc can!!!..Bravo Marc!!..👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎼
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.
agreed
He doesn’t even try to sing like him anymore, it’s just his voice and it’s based on genetics
Cool
Listen to the Gary Mullen vs Freddie Mercury video, it's insane.
My mum literally walked into the room and said “oh you are listening to Freddie Mercury”
I think this says a lot

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.
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.
Whether your Freddie or not, you have an amazing voice. His music is continuing even after 32 years of his passing, just shows how good he/Queen was

Might need to enlist Marc's brother David to help if they do, though.
I want to break free would be fantastic. Wonderful song.
How can he sit down so casually and sing and play so beautifully.
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.
What just happened here? Closed my eyes and Freddie was alive again. Awesome sauce to Marc.
Ed Hatfield it’s amazing! I thought the same thing!! He really is the next best thing!
Definitely ed
Watching this again and I can’t believe it. I attended a Queen concert back in the 70s and this cat is just so spot on it blows my mind. What a freak of nature...You go Marc!
😂 right?! Voice and piano! And “look.”
So true
"Bring it back, bring it back"
Well, he really came back!
😍😍😍❤
Nobody can bring him back unfortunately
My goodness, I’ve travelled back in time 😮
Goosebumps when the voice started.
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!!!
😭😢😭😢😭
I dunno how to call it. Freddie's voice is higher pitch/thinner/sharper while Marc's voice is lower pitch /more to baritone type /blunt, more bass.
@@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 agreed. freddie had a darker sound
@@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.
I CANT LISTEN TO ANY OTHER SONG NOW
Alright, maybe I can listen to other songs, but it's VERY difficult to listen to another musician/singer now.
On a scale of 1-10 this is a 40
Me too, all is QUEEN in my life now...
But im proud of it !

Indeed, I play piano, but I could only ever dream of mastering it like Marc has :)
My word! You sound just like the man himself! Very talented indeed! 🎹
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. :)
@@artfulstories Thanks for the info!!!
Let me guess, was it How Many Kings?
I would die happy seeing you sing on stage with Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon . What a spectacle it would be to witness that 👌
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 wouldn't you die happy if you saw freddie?
That would be weird and fascinating at the same time
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
Yes!

Ignorance at it's best. Adam Lambert has never sung this song.
Also hilarious how many people have liked this ridiculously dumb comment.
apokab you missed the point. Where does this mention this specific song?
@@sgusapling8770 Well he/she commented under this specific video, quite logical that the comment is about this song. By the way, I just wonder how he knows how it is "supposed to be". Adam Lambert sings with Queen, with the original members of the band, I think no one knows better than them how it is supposed to be. And they love how Adam sings their songs.
Dumb comment. Freddie said in his interview that he couldn't even remember the lyrics here and there, he sang the song based on his mood. The lyrics have changed over the years. How it's supposed to sing was never his preference. He performed different versions several times. There was nothing like how it's supposed to be. Adam never offered to sing this song. Brian May has. So sick of ppl who couldn't research more about the band they like.
Who is Adam lampert?
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.
Let's start a cause or movement for that. I pay too. And sure there are thousands that take part.
Yes Brian May's guitar accompaniment.
I just saw him at the Miller here in Augusta Georgia with Black Jacket Symphony. He was unbelievable.
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?
@@Mavaltrock Good point. Really.

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.

Best comment!
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.
My Oh My! I've heard that somewhere in the world, we all have a twin brother or sister who looks practically exactly like us. Marc doesn't look, but he sounds exactly like Freddy!! It's the same pitch, style, ups and downs.....everything. 😮❤
