Hahaha way too deaf tone to say he sounds like Freddie , of course if you don't have any musical training any singer will sound the same to you... hahahhaaha
I am 68 years old, and have listened to music all my life. Pop, do-wop, rock, gospel, folk and country. I have never heard a male voice better than this, and only two or three as good.
If you like Christmas music, you should check out Marc’s recordings. He releases new ones every year and there are some beautiful performances in there.
Because none told that, for example, George Michael sounds like someone else and singing someone else`s songs. And that`s what Marc usually does. If Marc has his own strong repertoire and unique voice, then he would have a chance.
This is just beautiful you don't hear no days. majority of "singers" in today's time actually playing instruments and using vocals. Now does its just auto tune and playing music in the computer
Marc is seriously one of the most talented vocalists I’ve ever seen or heard. It’s insane that he is not superstar status, it’s like listening to George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Elton John all in one!!
I wonder if Elton has seen this knowing how close he and freddie were. Someone needs to show this to Elton. How is it possible to sound like Elton, George, and Freddie combined? Whoa
Hello Marc, I am a 77yo huge rock/pop fan since back in the day. Have been blessed enough to watch George Michael perform four times when he came to Perth Australia. All this aside you have the most wonderful voice, no matter who people say you sound like, you are unique. My so. Also a muso hated to do cover songs for years, yes he said it was a dirty word, but now though he writes originals he has joined a voter band for DEF LEPPARD and yes, he is Joe Elliot, and yes, it pays the bills! Please come to Perth in my lifetime. Wonderful original Marc. Lynne
@@Lunatikk EVERY serious musician practices his craft to perfection. They don't just practice until they get it right, they practice until they can never get it wrong! Talent is bread from the highest determination to perfect one's craft!
So he successfully covers all the best vocalists of several generations, and makes it all his own, in a way where it's at least equal to, if not outright better than, the original performance. Which was originally done by a generational talent, nonetheless. And then when he finally gets the chance to do his own music, it's pretty awesome too. I'd say that makes Marc the prime contender for best vocalist of many generations ....
I've just recently been shown this sensational singer and I'm like where the heck have I been? I've never heard of him before until recently. Just so amazingly blessed!
Dood is mindblowing. And *what* a rendition of one of the greatest duets I've ever seen. When my eyes are closed i swear it's George Michael and Elton.
First he sounds like Freddie Mercury. Now he sounds like George Michael. There is no end to this man's talents as a singer and musician. I am in awe.😊❤😊
Everyone in this comment thread already mentioned it... but egad that piano. His voice is incredible, but to be able to play, time it out, and sing all at once? Amazing.
Without a doubt, Marc is one of the best singers/vocalists out there. And, when it comes to singing Queen songs and sounding like Freddie, nobody is better than Marc. AMAZING!!
Marc is not great at imitating Freddie, he‘s great at singing challenging songs in a perfect way. And let‘s not forget about his instrumental skills. Ten out of ten!
His voice is so clean, pure, powerful and on key. He's proof that being incredibly talented doesn't necessarily mean you'll be famous. If it was, he'd certified triple diamond in sales awards.
@@artfulstories It is basically true that in order to become famous in music you need to be somewhat original. And Martel would go nowhere in terms of popularity with his original "music"
Man... your voice and interpretation, your feeling, note tuning, and your respect for the composers and orginal interpreters, is totally awesome... thank you for so much passion in your work....
I wouldn't bet agaisnt him! Well... neurosurgery... rocket science, and possibly a few subfields of quantum mechanics. But music??? He ain't Effin around, is he?!
I saw him live January 7th 2023 in rancho mirage. A vision of queen was amazing to say the least. I would love to here this song done by the band. Marc is talented it makes me want to stop playing music all together. Keep up the good work Marc !
Wow! I think I just had a religious experience. When background music is piped into your working ear, you close your eyes and flow with the song. Wonderful.
George Michael would be so proud!!
Marc Martel A greatest Artist
When God was handing out talent, Marc clearly visited the line multiple times...
Snuck a double portion
Best thing I've ever heard in last 5 years.
Dude's a freak of nature! I also still miss his work with DownHere. 😞
Can we like twice? Voice and talent of a generation, thank you sir
Uno dei talenti piu grandi che ci sono oggi al mondo....
Vorrei che avesse cio che merita!!!!!
Just saw Marc in a Queen tribute in Houston a couple of months ago. Awesome show.
George would feel proud about this rendition
Good grief, this guy has the voice of the angel Gabriel himself
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
And "I'm Still Standing" please Marc
ItsNightmare85 yessss
And bennie and the jets
My favorite!
Yesss!!!
That would be awesome.
WOW. JUST WOW.
This is awesome. A guy who sounds like Freddie Mercury, doing an Elton John song, sung by George Michael.
He should be called Farrokh Dwait Panayiotou.
Hahaha way too deaf tone to say he sounds like Freddie , of course if you don't have any musical training any singer will sound the same to you... hahahhaaha
@@DeuSJaguaR you do know the truth, master...
:P
Yeah that instrument sounds like piano as well😑
Freddie Mercury didn't sing so well like this guy...
I am 68 years old, and have listened to music all my life. Pop, do-wop, rock, gospel, folk and country. I have never heard a male voice better than this, and only two or three as good.
If you like Christmas music, you should check out Marc’s recordings. He releases new ones every year and there are some beautiful performances in there.
I'm 72 and have been involved in the music industry for 50+ years of that. And, I AGREE!
@@Superspockmanhis voice is absolutely gorgeous.
As a 33 years old i can t say i know as much as you guys .
I know MJ existed and others too but for me N1 freddy N2 Marc 😊
I love his voice
I’m 10 yrs older and agree with all you said and his casual playing whilst singing is outstanding.
What. Now you are George!!!!
😳😳😳 what the hell did i just watch. dude is FLAWLESS.
Why Marc is not the biggest superstar on the planet is a tragedy
because superstars, this is a business and marketing, there are millions of talents in the world that no one knows about
Thank God coz youtube exist.
Because he didn‘t COMPOSE all these songs he is playing and singing so genial.
And you permanently have the impression it‘s Freddy.
Because none told that, for example, George Michael sounds like someone else and singing someone else`s songs. And that`s what Marc usually does.
If Marc has his own strong repertoire and unique voice, then he would have a chance.
FR
Wow! I am overwhelmed. He has is all!
it was an honor for me to see this video. thank you and greets from bavaria
Marc is the most versatile singer I have ever heard.
He really really is : ua-cam.com/video/rC8dU6xlCtk/v-deo.html
vocal is amazing, piano too, but together.... just wow... what a talent!
I can hear Freddie, Elton, and George in your voice, crazy
Eu também
Definiu muito bem
Sorry, but george michael, he cannot do....
My thoughts exactly! He found his niche!
Not to mention his mad musicianship...makes it look so easy to combine both!
I felt the same!
This is just beautiful you don't hear no days. majority of "singers" in today's time actually playing instruments and using vocals. Now does its just auto tune and playing music in the computer
Oh the memories this is bringing me
Marc’s AMAZING
oooh, oh wow, I'm crying. you bastard.
His piano skills is so underappreciated. That's how great he is.
Not any more.
Please stop these RIDICULOUS “underrated” comments with every artist. Not because it’s the first time YOU see or hear him that he’s underrated.
Too much of it here though. The piano was too overpowering on this song. It stifled the song.
Marc is seriously one of the most talented vocalists I’ve ever seen or heard. It’s insane that he is not superstar status, it’s like listening to George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Elton John all in one!!
Completely under appreciated!
And don't forget: he's an absolutely brilliant pianist!
@@Schmidthorst69 damn skippy my friend!
Truly!
Agreed
I wonder if Elton has seen this knowing how close he and freddie were. Someone needs to show this to Elton. How is it possible to sound like Elton, George, and Freddie combined? Whoa
I can’t explain why I was expecting him to say “ladies and gentlemen Mr Elton John” after the first chorus 😂
Me too 😅😅😅😂😂😂
LMAO SAME
That’s cos you’re used to the live version.
That's SIR Elton John!
Instead he changed the pitch of his voice to sound more like Sir Elton... absolutely fabulous
I find that,...sure, he's sounds like Freddy,etc!, But I hear Marc in there as well. And it's Superstar Canadian quality to boot!.
This is the ONLY cover I’ve ever heard of this song that’s worthy of both George and Elton. Wow!
I heard his acoustic guitar Freedom cover and it’s also amazing. My jaw dropped and I actually got weepy.
Beautiful
I think Marc is an exceptional pianist. Even if he didn’t sing, his piano skills would still turn heads.
Hello Marc, I am a 77yo huge rock/pop fan since back in the day. Have been blessed enough to watch George Michael perform four times when he came to Perth Australia.

Marc has been to Perth, if I am not mistaken. Hopefully he and his band do another tour in Australia soon.
Hello my dear fan, thanks for your endless love and support over the years, I really appreciate and I hope you don't ever stop.
No edits/cuts. Just a one-take straight shoot. Mad respect.
Several retakes beforehand*
Lunatik oh you were there were you.
@@WildChuco Well he had to practice the song first..
@@Lunatikk EVERY serious musician practices his craft to perfection. They don't just practice until they get it right, they practice until they can never get it wrong! Talent is bread from the highest determination to perfect one's craft!
Miguel Jacinto one-take, meaning no over-dubbing, no editing.
Marc Martel is already a Rockstar
he sounds like georgr too❤
Martel singing Mercury, singing George, singing Elton lol
With a voice and talent like that Marc should be an international Superstar.
He is getting there.
The problem IS,He sounds like Mercury(vibrato)&Michael.People wanna hear somebody different,AND a SONGWRITER.Same with M.Cavanaugh.
So he successfully covers all the best vocalists of several generations, and makes it all his own, in a way where it's at least equal to, if not outright better than, the original performance. Which was originally done by a generational talent, nonetheless. And then when he finally gets the chance to do his own music, it's pretty awesome too. I'd say that makes Marc the prime contender for best vocalist of many generations ....
Good grief! His voice!!! AND he plays piano and guitar! Thank you, Marc, for sharing your unbelievably gorgeous God-given voice!
Someone used this song by Marc Martel and said its a Freddie Mercury IA Cover. But I know the difference between Freddie, Marc, and de "ia".
Do you mean “AI”? His voice sounds better than Elton’s does.
I've just recently been shown this sensational singer and I'm like where the heck have I been? I've never heard of him before until recently. Just so amazingly blessed!
He can sing anyone he chooses. His talent is amazing and underrated. Is it jealousy I wonder.
Can we also talk about his piano skills??? This is literally the exact arrangement. Perfect! And of course his voice. Unreal.
Dood is mindblowing. And *what* a rendition of one of the greatest duets I've ever seen. When my eyes are closed i swear it's George Michael and Elton.
Yes!!
First he sounds like Freddie Mercury. Now he sounds like George Michael. There is no end to this man's talents as a singer and musician. I am in awe.😊❤😊
I close my eyes...And Freddie sings Elton's song! That's great!!!
best ive ever heard
Everyone in this comment thread already mentioned it... but egad that piano. His voice is incredible, but to be able to play, time it out, and sing all at once? Amazing.
So much talk about his voice, but this guy is a superb musician as well.
Exactly! Check out his former band Downhere. They won a lot of awards for their original music.
+1
what in the world..... i'm just now finding this unbelievable talent now!!! why???
this is phenomenal.
Saw this phantastic singer in Frankfurt last saturday. Freddie smiles when hearing him presenting Bohemian Rhapsody.
Marc has it's own greatness. He is so great he is even able to give us the next future songs that Freddie couldn't.
That's the true Freddie's legacy.
WOW! U can jam that piano....
wow wow wow wow wow!!!!
Without a doubt, Marc is one of the best singers/vocalists out there. And, when it comes to singing Queen songs and sounding like Freddie, nobody is better than Marc. AMAZING!!
Shout out and Big Love for Marc - I wish you well Marc.
PURE TALENT
He has kept Freddie Mercury and George Michael alive for us❤❤❤
Абсолютный слух. Это кайф слушать❤
Marc is not great at imitating Freddie, he‘s great at singing challenging songs in a perfect way. And let‘s not forget about his instrumental skills. Ten out of ten!
Agreed!
TM
Marc refuses to imitate Freddie and never does.
He has the voice of freddie..
Great King Rat you came here to rant? Anything interesting to say?
Great King Rat
Sit down, clown!
We have the voice of the century
I've always wanted George Michael to do a solo version of this song and wow... This is by far the closest. Amazing.
Just threw my briefs at your own stage man that is awesome. Gives me goosebumps.
His voice is so clean, pure, powerful and on key. He's proof that being incredibly talented doesn't necessarily mean you'll be famous. If it was, he'd certified triple diamond in sales awards.
Check out his cover of U2’s Bad! 🤯
@@artfulstories It is basically true that in order to become famous in music you need to be somewhat original. And Martel would go nowhere in terms of popularity with his original "music"
@@pantelisdalezios811 actually Elvis Presley became very famous and he only mostly sang other people's songs
People like Marc are the ones who make the almost impossible look easy. What a voice OMG.
Thank you Marc.
No AI will ever supersede a musical soul. Man, you've really got it. Hope see you soon again in Brazil.
Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Marc Martel!
How does this not have 50 million hits. A Shame
Going to see a Marc Martel concert is like seeing a Freddie Mercury, Queen, Elton John, George Michael, Marc Martel Concert for the price of one. Wow.
Totally worth the price of admission!
@@ThatllShowEm Согласна. Но и выход ценится также!?
I saw him live in Wellington New Zealand. It was magic was on a music induced high for hours. He is amazing😊
Went to Marc Martel concert in Peachtree City a few years back. I didn’t think it was possible to be that close to Mercury, but he was perfect.
Marc I would pay to see you!!! You are just amazing!
Georges Michael is extraordinary in this live song
Man... your voice and interpretation, your feeling, note tuning, and your respect for the composers and orginal interpreters, is totally awesome... thank you for so much passion in your work....
Let's also appreciate how spot on his piano playing is! Superb!!
Seconded. It's superb.
"Ladies and Gentlemen Mr Elton John.."👏👏
Marc has one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard! His talent is off the charts and so effortless, astounding!!
so real!
Top 10 best voices on the planet right now.
top 1 kek
Nope, he's top 1. Everyone else pales.
Best!
was searching for a piano cover, clicked on this video, realised it had vocals, but stayed for the vocals anyways cos its that good.
Vocals aside. Extremely talented with piano skills. Rock on Marc 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Is there no end to this guys talent? Unbelievable!
I wouldn't bet agaisnt him! Well... neurosurgery... rocket science, and possibly a few subfields of quantum mechanics. But music??? He ain't Effin around, is he?!
So so good. About time you came to the UK!!!!!!
How this guy continues to stay humble--with all of his talent and accomplishments--is truly astonishing.
i am a big fan❤❤❤❤❤❤
Marc voice is amazing...
Hello my dear fan, thanks for your endless love and support over the years, I really appreciate and I hope you don't ever stop.
I literally stumbled onto this amazing singer. I'm in shock.
Welcome to the rabbit hole! He currently has 123 videos here on his channel. Don't forget to eat and sleep every once in a while. 😂
George would love your cover .great job
i rarely watch complete performances on youtube, but when this guy starts im spellbound!
I saw him live January 7th 2023 in rancho mirage. A vision of queen was amazing to say the least. I would love to here this song done by the band. Marc is talented it makes me want to stop playing music all together. Keep up the good work Marc !
Did you know he's back January 6th? His first show of 2024. 😊🎉
Glad this finally reached a million views!🎉🎉🎉
how does this not have millions of views?
Holy S*! 50-year Elton fan here and big fan of George's as well and this is just amazing.
Marc Martel is one of most beautiful voice and inspirational artist of these days. What a talent!
I love how you hit notes that are hard for some men so easily.
One of the greatest voices on the planet.
This man that no one knows has the most pure beautiful voice! My favorite singer!
j'écoute pour ma mère décédé! Elle aimais tellement cette chanson!
Marc has such amazing talent. His voice, his piano and guitar playing. Sublime. This incredible artist deserves more recognition.
As his voice is so good people often overlook he is a brilliant piano player and his guitar playing is also up there too.
His piano skills are excellent, beyond excellent!
He’s a poly genius! So much talent, so little appreciation.
Wow! I think I just had a religious experience. When background music is piped into your working ear, you close your eyes and flow with the song. Wonderful.
This man's voice is incredible
How hard is it to play like this and sing pitch perfect?
Marc: No.
It is sooo gooood Marc!
