Coming from a band myself, I naturally have a higher appreciation for bands whose members are all involved in the creative process. It’s even more impressive when each member is able to crank out multiple radio hits on the merit of their own songwriting. Of course, Queen is one of the leaders of the pack when it comes to that, and even though Freddie and Brian wrote the bulk of their hits, Roger and John are no slouches. “Radio Ga Ga” and “Another One Bites The Dust” come to mind as tunes that haven’t exactly been eclipsed by anything else the band has recorded. This is my first cover of a John Deacon song, and I’ve heard from very reliable sources that the keyboard solo was recorded very early on in the recording process, as John was dead set on not having yet another guitar solo in the song. In honor of that little anecdote, I’ve decided to pull out a different vintage instrument of my own to set the solo apart from others I’ve sung or whistled. It’s an especially great time for us to all start singing this song together, don’t you think?
Greeting to all the "Vocal Coaches" who are going to react to this.
TRUUUUU HAHAHAHAHAHA
Please don't.
Exactly, who gives a shit about their react?
Those people have to stay away from UA-cam videos. It’s funny how they react and criticize people like Marc or AXL ROSE who has made a career and its known in every corner of the world and they try and tell tjem how they should sing
Ye
Everyone gangsta till Marc pulls out da kazoo.
Well wtf, but thas cool
Marc for Papa Emeritus V?
Gotta respect the kazoo
Dude that’s how shit gets done. 😂
That's rad! Hahahahha
If I was Marc, I would go in every the Voice and troll the coaches.
I love it 😂❤️
Specially blind auditions 😂
He'll make all the chairs turn. Who would he pick as his coach? lol😀
Don’t think he’s the type of guy to do that but it would be funny though hehe
Don't feel offended , It's the same reason you are not Marc.
"Reincarnation is impossible,it's not real."
Freddy: let me show you something darling.
This is the best comment on anything ever in the history of the entire internet. Thank you.
Perfect comment
2+ Billion people on Earth: "Indeed this is very interesting..."
So the Tibetans were right
Freddie be like "hold my champagne"🤣🤣🤣
He has a voice better than a lot of singer in the world
Marc and Freddie both have the greatest voice i heard
hey dude I know yall hate self promo and Im sorry but Id really appreciate a watch on my new cover, completely understand if you wish not to, no hate have a great day!

@@saugatrj fam its actually soo good!
i Did a Cover of Bohemian Rhapsody And a Bunch of other Covers. i Did 4 Nirvana Covers And Those Are Pretty Good.
If I were his neighbor I would complain if he stopped singing
😂😂😂😂😂
If i were*
Gale Storm
AGREED!
He could play as LOUD as he wants! 😂😂😂😂
Same tbh
He’s so talented, not just as a Freddie impersonator but even in his own right. The voice is one thing, but his musicianship is right up there with it. Absolutely amazing ❤
Marc is not an impersonator, but a sound-a-like.
Yep, Babooshka is correct. He could sing it completely different than Freddie does (in fact, he strays from Freddie in this performance in a lot of ways), but he'd still sound like Freddie.
I didn't get to live in the same world as Freddie, and the world missed his voice for a few years. Then this guy showed up and gave the world the voice we were all missing for so long. I'm glad someone is able to replicate Freddies voice, because living in a world where a voice like Freddies exists only on recordings would be no fun.
Brian may : Let me teach you the solo part
Marc : Hold my kazoo
Fiktod ahahahahha
Lmfao, I'm dead.
Actually is a keyboard solo so Brian May is not the right person(?
It caught me off guard when he pulled out the kazoo 😂
It was originally composed by John Deacon and played on a synthesizer, so...

[Edited to add link]
EVERYONE!!! WE NEED Marc Martel plus an operatic soprano at Montreux, for Freddie's 75th birthday in 2021, to sing "Barcelona" and the other operatic duets Freddie did with Montserrat Caballé. The past few years (and planned for this year) the band "Bulsara and his Queenies" have performed. Okay, they aren't THAT bad, but the group name..REALLY??? We NEED Marc and we need something AMAZING for the big 75!
Put a like on this!
SPREAD THE WORD!
He has a show already booked that day in Webster, Massachusetts, USA: indianranch.com/events/marc-martel-2020-concert-club/
@@artfulstories The following year. 😉
ThatllShowEm oh! Missed that. Sorry! :)
Up
Preach, brother!
The kazoo solo was very creative and unexpectable. Awesome!
He sings so much like Freddie that he is starting to look like him
Jevan Tebo you better check your eyes. maybe you have problems with your vision idk
Carixo it’s not cause of physical features as much as it is mannerisms I think
He looks like him because he has the same jaw. And that's why he sings like him also.
Not so much, but true
Strange, but its true
I can’t get over how his voice is so incredibly close to Freddie’s 😳 amazing!
It is freddies’s voice
just reincarnated
And he looks like freddy too
Yeah a tad bit, his head shape is different but his facial features are similar.
If you dont look at his face you can say freddie mercury is lived.
Agreed!!! 🙏🏻
People say Marc tries to sound like Freddie (yes ofc, it's his gig), but people also forget that his _normal_ singing voice sounds similar to Freddie's. He just embraced it 🙌🏻
I seen this guy live in the theatre show "Queen Extravaganza", absolutely outstanding, his voice completely filled the theatre.
Still does : ) though these days He tours with his band The Ulitmate Queen celebration and occasionally with the Black Jacket Symphony.
Not only the voice. performance, playing the piano, the look, and most important: the art of letting the voice act the same as Freddy. it gets tears to my eyes when i listen to this amazing singer and reincarnation of Freddy. Freddy: welcome back!!!!
Hearing a kazooi solo on a queen song that isn’t seaside rendezvous is something that I thought would never happen
facts
And it sounds good
Yeah, that’s pretty cool😆👌🏽
Lmao for real and didn't they do it with their mouths in the studio recording according to Brian?
@@Marcalitus I'm Not sure, you'd have to look it up again.
This song is like perfect given the current world state, whatever he sings though I’m always looking forward to it
Billy thanks it’s my favorite game
Literally what he says at the start at the video 😂
hey fam I know yall hate self promo and Im sorry but covers take real long to make so I'd really appreciate a watch on mine! completely understand if you wish not to, no hate hope you have a great day! : D thank you for reading!

@@saugatrj its really good man keep it up!!!
Браво, Марк!!!!!! 🎹🎼🎶🎼💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The way I would describe Marc Martel's voice:
Obviously very close to Freddie, the closest we currently have. But his voice is beautiful in its own right, but shines best on Queen songs
This guy is the best singer of Queen songs since Freddie died. Close your eyes its Freddie singing..
You look like that one meme where an old man just smiles
It’s Marc trying to sound like Freddie singing.
@@ThreeStarsBurningBright age catches up with everyone 😁
@@ThreeStarsBurningBright hahahha
Strange but true...
Beginning of the song cover: this is nice
Takes out a kazoo: “this is the greatest cover in the world”
😂💀
Exactly !
Kaaaaazzoooooooooo
kazoo part was the best
This would what happen if you combined kazoo kid and Freddie
If Marc doesn't sing at my funeral im not going.
😂😂
@@bsee2a I had too 😂🤣
"I falling in loveeeeee". I could listening and watching this all the time. Incredible genious.
Freddie in Heaven: "oh bloody hell, you're stealing my spotlight, darling! Hugs and kisses!"
I read that in Freddie’s voice😅👏👏
@@alexwilliams772 me either 😂
Darling ok darling thats darling not darling funny darling
@@gkb4401 should i read it with freddie's flambouyant accent? Haha
I imagine he looking up and saying that
this is like freddie trying to 'break free' from marc's body
He has such a beautiful voice, maybe sometimes very near to freddie's, but he's not freddie, and his voice is a lot different.
@@commandefenetre1478 no.
😂
I am fairly certain that Freddie would not want to ever break free from another man's body. But I could be wrong. Oh. And Epstein didn't kill himself.
Awesome!! Wooow. Greetings from Argentina
Freddie thing aside, his skills are exceptional on their own. 😊
😃👍You are truly the world's best Freddie Mercury sound alike, Thank You Marc!! for bringing Freddie back to life!!
Are you the guy who did some vocals for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie? Just amazing!
Yep.
Yes! Marc's voice and older recordings of Freddie singing are what were used in the film.
Yes, Marc is the one who voices Freddie in Bohemian Rhapsody, There is honestly no better Freddie than Marc.
No it's adam levine
Yep quite a bit of it
1:36 Remember guys: "do whatever you want with my music, just don't make it boring"
Nothing boring about Queen songs performed so expertly, passionately and beautifully!
@@artfulstories that's true.
I like Marc's voice, not because of any similarities to Freddie, I just like his voice.
rrrogah taylah same here
But I think because you like Freddie’s voice you like the type
Nuj 21 could be. I heard Marc way before he started covering Queen and always loved his voice. It’s a beautiful and versatile instrument.
@@nuj2187 Yeah, but I like their voices as separate things, not just Marc is Freddie 2.0
rrrogah taylah me too. I don’t think of Marc as Freddie 2.0 like a lot of people do.
So many years I've felt sorry for being too young... not being able to go to a Queen's concert ( born in '84 )... and now.. there is you... my chance to end my misery!
Suck it life! I there is hope for me!
Can you just imagine Marc singing, and backed by Brian, Roger and John playing the music, sensational!!!
Marc sound great with or without Maylor. John didn’t sing much.
@@papabearM3 M3 You know more than anybody that Brian and Roger don't and I mean DON'T want him, he is nothing but a Freddie imitator. John retired in 1997 and is rarely seen. B & R have exactly who they want, the terrific Adam Lambert, so I'm afraid MM will never be in Queen but of course you don't want him in Queen anyway because you don't like B or R do you?
@@xmasbunnyscotland5355
A. You don’t know what I know.
B. I don’t care whom you choose to listen to.
C. Don’t care about Maylor’s choices, they are their prerogative.
D. You are NOT in the position to speak on Maylor’s behalf.
E. Marc is definitely not an imitator, but your theory can’t survive if you stop calling Marc an imitator. Your theory is flawed.
D. You are running in circles.
@@papabearM3 Haha!! M3 The only one running in circles is you. All you do is speak absolute rubbish. I don't have to speak on behalf of Brian and Roger all QAL fans know what's what and yes MM is a Freddie imitator, of course you don't care you are totally obsessed with him, but he is still a Freddie imitator, that will never change because he makes his living off it/him.
This guy is the only person who can make covers of queen
With full right, very well earned he has it !!
wrong.
Anyone can make covers of Queen. I think it's fun to see other people's renditions of their songs, even if it sucks. No one can do it like Queen but that doesn't mean you can't try 🙄
@@bossfrog Ya, but they have to ask this guy for permission first...
Agree
Imagine having marc martel as a neighbor.
*free freddy mercury concert*
Free marc martel concert
Lol, imagine hearing AYYY OOOOH in the morning. All the neighbors are like "Ay Oh!".
Yay 😁
@Queen Celebration Live Ha I would do that ngl 😂
Yes, that would be awesome!
The kazoo representing the madness we are all feeling.
Marc sings, plays the piano, the guitar, ,
composes, has stage experience and years of practice and studio... I wished he (and not Adam) joined Queen so they would keep recording new songs sounding like Queen.
Amen, mate! Martel is stellar! May can def use some new music in his repertoire. Instead , he chooses to regurgitate old schlagers of his.
7 billion people in the world and you got the copy of the voice of the best vocalist ever live . You are damn lucky!!!
Second best vocalist. Michael Jackson was and is #1. Its been proven
@@bryan9495 shut up
AMEN!
@Victor Hugo Alvarez Damasceno Do you want to go to war?
mega ladies, laddies. calm down
I don't understand the hates and dislikes and saying "nope" when somebody compared him to Freddie (I know what you feel, beceause Freddie is a legend). I am a big fan of Queen's music but I have to admit that Marc here is the closest ever so far that we cold get of Freddie; Sings like him, a little bit... just a little looks like him, and can play instruments flawlessly like this is the official acoustic cover of this song. The first time I saw his video, I was speechless and was like "Is this Mercury's son? The f**k? sounds perfectly like him" and That I understood that Marc has already set the standards that if you want you sing and want to sound just like Freddie, You have to be as good as Marc Martel. I'm pretty sure Freddie is proud of this man.
I think I can get _some_ of the shock factor. Who would ever believe that someone would come close to sounding similar to Freddie? Even Roger Taylor saw that a standard needed to be set for Queen tribute bands, and took Marc in setting up his Queen Extravaganza band.
I've had a chance to see Marc and his Ultimate Queen Celebration band, and they are marvelous in how they approach the original studio sound of Queen with respect in tribute to this music and the band.
Yes he's the closest thing to Freddy ever. However if you listen to him and Freddy, they have a distinct difference depending on what era Freddy you compare him to. For me he is similar to early Freddy, the long haired Freddy of the mid to late 70's. Marc's voice is a bit thicker than Freddy when he sings the early Queen songs.
The Like/Dislike ratio is 150:1. That's 1/2 of 1 percent. UA-cam is always gonna have some trolls out there. Marc has nothing to worry about.
The facial expressions in the singing look so Freddie as well..such a nice detail to the performance. Another great rendition Marc.
Those are his natural facial expressions.
Huh, I see Marc. ❤
Just discovered Marc and as well as the amazing performances, it's also helped me to re-appreciate the songs. Sometimes overfamiliarity with a recording makes you miss the music. Hearing these, it what could easily be new arrangements performed by Freddie, results in experiencing them afresh almost like demos.
Some people say Freddie Mercury has the greatest singing voice ever. Does this put Marc second?
Yea
No
No
I have never heard Freddie sing live as good as Marc.
Freddie's voice wasn't for everyone. I much prefer Marc's.
I was starting to question if he actually is freddie, but after he took out that kazoo i am sure that he *IS* freddie
tbh theres a big difference i think between his voice and freddies, but i love his voice too dw
@Great King Rat "You can do what you want with my music," he said, "but don't make me boring."- Freddie Mercury.
Man, i bet Freddie Mercury rolls in his grave whenever you comment.
@Great King Rat chill man he was making a joke
@Great King Rat the joke is that Freddie never took being on stage entirely seriously. He often joked on stage and didn't really care if he looked childish at times.
@Great King Rat just chill man, it's a cover, vibe with it lmao
God given talent that level of talent can’t be taught!
VERY TALENTED MARC MARTEL..SALUTE YOU
Just love the raspiness which captures that Freddie macho voice he had
Freddie forgot his password , so he just made a new account
@@morionxd4259 ye but it's still awesome
@@morionxd4259 its under every fucking vid
Respawn
Stolen
rejoined the game
This guy is u******** believable. Dude's got Freddie's soul
"I fallen in love for the first time and this time I know it's for real!" I absolutely love Freddie's cheeky sense of humor.
the dislikes are from people who don’t have a kazoo.
I think is Adam Lambert.
@@franco-g4610 pretty sure lambert dont have a kazoo
@@mint-flvr He should...would be better than his singing.
Yeah! where is my Kazoo? I was promised a Kazoo!
I really want a kazoo. ❤️
The piano cover....I'm sorry for these words, but holly shit, that's sooooooo good. And the kazoo as well, not even meantioning the singing. Another amazing work!!! Thank You Marc.
Why are you sorry for your words? They are kind words!
@@papabearM3 the holy shit parts im assuming
Marc, you’re a treasure. Playing one tune on the piano and another on the kazoo at the SAME TIME lol mind blown!
Lol… I just dropped my brownie on the floor when you played the kazoo. Lol…. Too funny. You are a man of many talents. 😎👍
Those who dislike this cover are just jealous on his talent.
Can't say I blame them for being jealous of his voice, he do be nice with it
I bet there are a lot more jealous ppl than dislikes
Having a good voice isn’t really talent it’s just something your born with.
@@MM-sm2fu ya gotta maintain your vocals and practice to get better with them
Nah they miss-clicked
Anytime I watch these Queen covers, I simply just smile and laugh. They are just so incredible. Possibly the best live performances consistently.
Thank God for the second chance to heard that beutyfull voice take care you are the voice
Wow...just WOW!!!
Marc you are the only person allowed to make Queen Covers
YESSSSS
Agree
Yep
Adam ?
Adam is also a king of Queen covers look at his stage performances!!
It's like ... Freddie has a youtube channel doing his songs
No it isn’t
@@_JXB94 right?
there is its called Queen Official lol
Like a cover from brian and roger during quarantine
I fucking love that kazoo section i didnt think i could enjoy your performance anymore.I have the biggest smile on my face right now.thank you Marc i was having a really dark day.BRILLIANT
My heart is full. I have tears in my eyes. Wow! Just half an hour ago I was talking with the Uber driver about Queen. Then he remarked that we were turning onto the street to get home... McQueen. Funny how things are.
We never had access to Freddie like this, with personal videos. So watching Marc's performances, with both men being able to sit down at the piano and do this, you finally understand just how great Freddie was and Marc is.
If at any concert in the stadium Mark will sing it with Queen, the whole world will understand Freddie Mercury with us again.
Troyan Trypilsky its horrible if yu think freddie is back... never will be someone like freddie😔
I have downloaded this video and literally have it on loop. This is my favourite Queen song and I just can't get enough of how Marc does it. I think I've discovered heaven, and Marc Martel is God, Jesus, Buddha and whoever else you believe in (not that I'm religious or anything.)
How this man hasn't got a recording contract is beyond me. He is so damn talented and deserves to be on the airwaves. Marc Martel, don't ever stop.
😆
He has avoided record labels for the past decade, allowing him complete creative control over his music.
@@artfulstories that's a good point. He is so talented though.
@@glenbrown3011 I would definitely turn on the radio more often if they played music like his!
You said you’re not religious, so maybe it’s not that exciting to you, but his Christmas music (his solo music and his work with Downhere) is on Christian radio a lot during the Christmas season. There is that. :)
A fan from Russia heard Marc’s rendition of O Holy Night in a store one day during the 2020 Christmas season. In fact, his newest Christmas EP charted at #1 on the Holiday charts there, for what it’s worth. I also know Marc’s song How Many Kings is sung in practically every church across the world, in multiple languages. Quite a few videos of them are here on YT.
@@artfulstories yeah I'm not religious but I do listen to a couple of amazing Christian bands.
He has to be the most talented musician in the world. The guy can do anything!
Anyone feel like Marc's voice just gets better and better as he ages?
Absolutely
*Sweeter than an aged islay*
Why is Freddie Mercury disguised himself as Marc Martel?
It's just too perfect.
Great remark
I want to break free
There's no one even near of Freddie..
It's nothing but being foolish and disrespectful towards Freddie..
Freddie is God
What's perfect is Freddie coming back as a Christian rock singer from Canada!
I fell in love with freddie's voice for the fast time, this time ik its for real !!
yes,yes,yes !!!!!!! MARC MARTEL !!!!!!!!! THE INCREDIBLE STAR OF MUSIC !!!!!!!!
I would pay to see queen again if this guy was there!
You are not the only one. But Brian May prefers the other guy (that I will never buy a ticket to see).
Everybody I know prefers Marc in the group instead the other guy
@@Zaraien Everybody, no, my friend. People who really like Queen don't like Lambert or Martel. They prefer to watch a video with the 4 original members. I am one of those people.
Pedro G. Guerrero I’m the same. I only watch Queen and Adam Lambert just because it’s good to see Brian and Roger still performing 50 yrs after forming Queen.
Same!
If someone just played the audio and told me it was Freddie doing a studio rehearsal of the song I would 100% believe it
Bruh. Freddie’s voice is something on its own. You can easily distinguish it from other voices. I can’t believe how people think marcs voice is similar tho Freddie’s voice
Carixo they sound almost perfectly the same
@@carixo3112 I can't believe how stupid you'd have to be to both not hear the remarkable similarities in timbre and attitude in the voices, yet think you know MORE. That's remarkably dumb.
The word "got" hits me!! That's freddie right there!!
by God your voice is identical to Freddy's God bless your talent
Freddie*
It‘s Not... But it‘s close. Really close
The number of likes... nice
@@AbelardoAMN nit anymore...
@@Krombopulos96 Ehm no. He just has a hight tone and can do falsettos. He does not even remind me of him. Uneducated punks
His facial expression/face also starts to look similar to Freddie's when he sings
Right,,,,, I was seeing that throughout this video too
I'm just glad that's one can cover Freddy just as good
Concuerdo con tigo
it's because of the pronunciation of the vowels he's using
You guys dont know? It is freddy with a new identity he never died it was all a lie he just went off the scene for a long time and came back pretending to make covers
Freddie said I'm not leaving this Earth without giving something back. I just wonder how Queen reacted when they first heard Marc sing 🎤 my jaw would have dropped honey
Watch Marc singing Under Pressure with Roger, the look on Taylor's face says it all ua-cam.com/video/b_bmysAMQs8/v-deo.html
I understand why some may not like marc doing this because they were so in love with freddie but come on guys! This man has an amazing voice and sounds like an iconic singer.... Just enjoy it
I am in love with both voices! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Leander_
Me two!
This was awesome. I shit myself when that Kazoo came out. I love this guy.
Freddie has called, said he wants to get his voice back...
Is he going to start up a revival tour?
Dont think he really sounds like him in this one imo
Stop
@@CharliePlews Listen to a side by side
@@tituspittenger1831 Sounds nothing like Freddie. I am beginning to believe majority are seriously tone deaf. There are quite a few distinct differences between him and Freddie, and they are VERY clear.
Even his kazoo solo is literally perfect
i'm jealous
OMG! If I close my eyes I would see Freddy. Marc you are amazing!
This song makes me happy 😊
My Melancholy Blues and Spread your Wings is a must.
Without this song, the world would be too much different.
Factually inaccurate. Not to mention grammatically disgraceful.
Virtuoso PianoMan you cant say factually inaccurate you’re not a time traveler lol
Emily Kinney??? REALLY??? She SUCKS as a singer & she's an even WORSE actress! Beth was a HORRIBLE character on The Walking Dead and she played her like BETH was one of the walkers! 😂😂😂
Angelina Miari true true
Oh...I was replying to this bozo's profile...just to clarify. 😂
Imagine how hard to cover I Want to Break Free is. MAD Respect to Marc
UNBELIEVABLE😱😱😱😱😱
The kazoo solo was a funny and welcome surprise. What a great performer.
Did somebody feel his passion while singing?
Oh yes!! 🔥🔥
I did !
Bruh
Ye
Yes!
You are great singer Marc, God bless you .
Marc, you're amazing. God has given you an amazing gift,
The first ''I Want To Break Free'' actually shocked me, so goood!
Seriously do you know that you are probably the only person on earth with that voice and making Freddie coming back to life?!
Verry powerful vocal range so amazing hearing his voice totally rockpower im listening to all his music so much love for all his song...God Blessed and continue singing.....
My soul is full 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
This is is quite underrated! He should be on all TV everywhere in the world. He should be hitiing hundreds million of views🔥. Lets admit it he is making us revive our idol freddie mercury🔥🔥. Kuddoes to you marc martel.
1.15M subscribers - underrated. OK!
Bro he should be in place of adam lambert
@@1372AT I agree with you
@Mr. Anonymous Thats the whole reason why they didnt accept him. "we dont want to replace freddie, our dead friend"
He sounds exactly like freddie, that UA-cam might give a copyright claim to his covers. 🤣
If you could copyright strike a person his channel would be banned, gawd no affence im more addicted to marc than freddie
looks like him too. its kinda scary
Did you even listen to Freddie? Sorry but in this cover Marc don’t sounds like Freddie. Not even a bit.
Wouldnt surprise me tbh. Pewds got copyrighted just cos he sang despacito
Edit: i mean his video got copyrighted
As a matter of fact Marc doesn't own this video as covers are not covered under copyright laws. Queen's labels monetise the video. But then the money goes to people like Brian May and Brian is a legend... so
So amazing!!!! Freddie is smiling.
Is it possible to like it a thousand times?!
I close my eyes, and listen to this and it's like Freddie is singing to us ...
i can't help but imagine rogerina and Freddie when hearing this song
Dancing around Marc's piano.
The only person in the world with the gift of the tone and vibrato of the Great Freddy Mercury. You, my friend, are unreal.
best among the best.. Thank you!
