luispower1979 He sounds good, YES but just like Freddie....NO F@%$!&G WAY. I can't emphasize enough how wrong your comment is and I'm sure Freddie would agree. Sounds just like Freddie.....smfh
You have to be some fn big dick to not admit that Marc surely sounds nearly exactly like Freddy. I clearly state NEARLY because no one can top or recreate Freddy! BUT in fact this guy is one of a Kind on this Planet and i doubt there is ANYONE who can sound more like Fraddy to this day on. AND This guy on the base has a touch of Dave so why just anyone everytime fu..s on anybodys opinions on the Net? Admit it and let people get goosebumps listening to mark because they surely believe to hear a ghost! Love you Freddy!
@@miah5561 But that's now what singers say when they (especially when they get old) see somone else can sing their song as god as them. they will be proud. You disagree I can accept that, if we talk about common case. I mean when somone sounds like you. But this is about singing. You got that?
By far the best cover of "Under Pressure" I've ever heard. Both vocalists sound uncannily like the original artists, to the point where you have to do a double take. Freddie & David would be proud! Mad props to the whole band.
@@philipkinscherf7430 This version is better although they had hard time - Marc explained it in his comment to the video: ua-cam.com/video/EYF3RGgV6xc/v-deo.html
It’s crazy, if you go back and watch Freddie live, he often misses vocal parts from their albums. You can tell Marc put a lot of effort into trying to respect their recordings. He hits almost everything dead on.
better say, freddie is freddie, marc is just marc, different ages, marc covering queen's songs, but i mean, marc is unique too, and how he threats life and how he works, make him special, i know wherever is freddie, he loves marc
This is great. I've seen a lot of Marc's UA-cam videos and he is one outstanding musician - not only as a singer. I've had the privilege of singing in a four part arrangement of "Under Pressure" as part of an over-55 group, and I can swear that the experience is exhilarating. A fantastic song kept alive by Mr. Martel.
I'm attending one of there concerts I sure wish he worked with may an roger .......he is not screaming like Adam does...close your eyes and there is freddie...
@@JackOwens i just feel bad to quenn fans because i want to say marc is slightly better than freddie (80's) in vocal range, but in other part like charisma, choreography, freddie is complete package. maybe drinking and drugs causing freddie vocal range not as better when he's young
I never thought I would say that: listening to Queen with no Freddie, no rest of the band...still my ears ain't bleeding. Bravo! Can't imagine what he could have done on a stadium...with rest of Them.
Hearing Marc trying to sound like Freddie is a real sign of respect to keep the songs sounding as they were meant to sound. It makes me happy to hear his songs come to life again. Such a gift to Freddie. Freddie had a dominance, a passion and a fire that sucked you in though that you can't duplicate. So he can't be replaced. True fans of Queen would love a tribute to feel like they're experiencing a live concert they may never have had the chance to experience. I adore Freddie and Marc Martel would be my only chance to have a Queen experience with full respect given to Freddie because no one else could do his songs justice like him. Sorry Adam, those songs weren't meant for your sound in my opinion.
I just heard Adam Lambert in concert with Queen a few months ago, and I felt he was histrionically over-the-top, trying to sound like a big Broadway star. I mean his voice is certainly a good voice, but he actually was straining and trying so hard he got pitchy at times. Marc Martel voice is always pleasant to listen to and of course much more similar to Freddie. Brian and Rodger can choose whoever they like but I will not be going to see them play again. I prefer listening and watching original queen stuff.
Nobody can replace Freddie, but damn Marc Martel worms my heart with the same angelic voice that Freddie had,,,Marc Martel i think you are Freddie 2.0 and you are awsome, thank you that you keep our king/champion alive !!!! He is so proud of you !!!!
Because they clearly weren't looking for a guy to nail cover versions of their hits, that's just the crazy fans who can't let go wanting that it'd seem. Queen were clearly after a great performer creating a party on stage and Adam certainly delivers that. If you fanatic nutters just want version to sound like you remember them, go listen to the fucking albums.
I don't get the "They didn't want someone who sounded too much like Freddie" logic. Why not just get a rapper to rap the words or a spoken word artist to merely talk out the lyrics rather then sing then, since we "don't want anything that sounds like Freddie". Adam sounds great and similar to Freddie, whereas Marc sounds more like the real deal. I don't think anybody would really complain if Marc fronted Queen.
Personally, I feel like people would feel as if they're trying to replace Freddie with Marc and I don't think Roger + Bri are all about that. I could be wrong but that's how I process it.
I’ve been going back and forth between Marc and Adam really listening in on each little nuance and each note for most of the major Queen hits. Although Adam has incredible range, which I respect, he tends to take too many liberties on many of the songs that Freddie has made legendary. When you hear a Queen song, you expect those certain notes, those highs, those lows and when it comes to THAT, I have to say it: Marc Martel is Freddie Mercury reborn! He hits every single note, he sounds like Freddie, hell he would even damn near look like Freddie if he donned a stache! And here’s the key difference between Adam and Marc, if you put on a Queen song sung by Adam, you’d know it’s Adam, HOWEVER, if you put on a song sung by Marc, you literally cannot tell the difference between him and Freddie! His voice is Uncannily like Freddie’s in every aspect! Hence MARC MARTEL! No competition!
You said it best. This needs to go up everywhere. I like Queen songs because of how they sound originally. Marc sings like the studio versions that I enjoy. Even though Freddie tend to often sing it differently most of the time in concerts, we go with it because it's Freddie. Adam sings this wierd off beat version that reminds you it's more like a cover even if he's playing with 2 of the Queen members. I don't like his style that he adds onto it. I'm use to hearing the studio version that I prefer with the certain notes that made it catchy. When i expect to hear those notes but then they go off, I'm surprised with wtf.
@@AlmightyTreeDragon I agree! I don't mind if Queen (May and Taylor) make new songs with Adam, great. I'll listen to them or I won't, depends on quality, but they are most welcome. However, don't let Adam torture legendary old songs that Freddie used to sing (most of them also write). That is a tribute to original Queen and Freddie him self and Marc Martel does it THE BEST! Full stop! Or, let me say it this way ... Let's have two Queen projects: 1. Queen with Marc concerts - Queen "Old" Songs Tour; 2. Queen with Adam - Queen New Songs Tour; and then let's see which show gets more attendance. Do you dare, Brian and Roger?! To settle this for good?
The most amazing thing about him is that he does it so naturally that it doesn't even look hard for him. Man is a natural born singer just like Freddie was. Simply amazing.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Queen Extravaganza live in 2012. They were incredible! Mark Martel was so amazing to watch & hear. While I never had the chance to see Freddie Mercury live, Marc Martel is the closest thing to it! And while no one can and will ever replace Freddie, Marc does a dam good job filling in for him and allowing us all to see, feel and hear a bit of that magic we all loved about Freddie. ❤👑🎙
I don't know...why dislike? Yes he ain't Freddie, there can be only one. Blessed to have seen Freddie but still blessed to listen to this guy and his gift of singing which just gives chills. He makes us realise how much we lost when Freddie passed and thats just how good Marc is.
Alexander 27 you are sick man dumb as fuck, buy yourself some ears, Freddie is good we all know, but now he is not the only one with that type of voice, BEAT IT.
This man should be singing in front of thousands of people! I never thought I'd here Freddie murcury singing live ever again. While he's not Freddie, he is a close second! Thank you! Your talent is beyond the stars!
He is. Marc has performed in the order of 130 concerts world wide this year already and yes, to audiences of thousands. ua-cam.com/video/_Q7hEXTr_zU/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/S1IBrYU5vSo/v-deo.html are just two such events. I have seen him perform live. He's amazing. marcmartelmusic.com/tour if you want to find if he's going to be near you any time soon.
Kudos to the bass player and his Bowie part, too. Well done. P.S. Gotta love the guy they cut to in the audience, in the yellow suit. He's rockin' out.
The more i hear Marc sings the more i distinguish the voice of Marc Martel and Freddie Mercury but when i really close my eyes and just listen from the bottom of my heart i hear part of Marc and Freddie singing together, it's like magic. Good God marc is still here while Freddie jamming up in the stars.
1:26 "chipping around kick my brains around the floor, these are the days it never rains but it pours" such a very hard passage to sing but Marc nails it effortlessly. Sounds like Freddie live on the We Will Rock You tour from 1981.
Freddie and David must both be so proud... I've already looped this twice already! EASILY my favourite cover of "Under Pressure", especially because of the crowd joining in! :D
If they did that they'd run into many lawsuits for plagiarism, as long as the notes are higher/lower or the melody is slight different it's techinically not the same thing, so they're just playing it safe.
+ El Chapo Jr. Nonsense, there have been lawsuits for tunes being similar to existing tunes. And they likely have permission to use it. It is on the official Queen youtube channel.
And as long as the melody or the bassline is different or in a different octave, they still have the right to send you to court, but they're less likely to win.
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between the two of them-----------AWESOME!!!!!! Close my eyes and see two of the greatest singers still among us!!!!!! God Bless these men. I know Freddie and David are watching down on them to keep them safe to carry on their legacies!!! RIP Freddie and David
Really? While he did has a similar voice, he himself said he taught himself how to sing by trying to impersonate other singers. He has studied so extensively that he put out a video, How to sing like Freddie...".. Now take a look at the clenched fist, the backward kicks and the harlequin vest....has Freddie written all over it.
slynnc kitty I have seen that video before, yes. Impersonation and replacement are two quite different things, my friend. He's we'll aware of the fact that he could never replace him and doesn't try to either. He's a big fan and is simply applying as much of Freddie onto himself as he can, much like a cosplayer would :)
I never mentioned replacement, did I my friend. When you apply as much of another person onto yourself as you can, you are imitating, not being authentic to yourself.
I've been following this singer for awhile. His name is Marc Martel from Canada. Nothing against Adam Lambert, but this guy should be singing with Roger and Brian.
I can't believe people are talking bad about marc he is unbelievable. I grew up listening to Queen. he is singing the greatest singer of all times songs. wow truly appreciate how great he is. rip freddie
The only ones who talk badly of Marc are Glamberts who are afraid Marc will take their fantasy love interest's job, or Freddie purists, for whom anything NOT Freddie is bad. I understand where they are coming from, even as I don't agree with either.
Sweetie, most of us are only defending Adam against the negative things Marc fans say abut him becuase they are jealius that Brian and Roger chose him to be their frontman. I had never heard of Marc until one of his fans came to a QAL video pimping Marc over Adam. Adam fans are also not the ones that create the comparison videos like you yourself have done. (Under false pretense of course.) It was supposed to be about who you liked better and why and it turned into you defending Marc against ever Adam fan that comments there. We are not afraid of Marc...the band has already said they will probably never play with anyone other than Adam. They are now family. The demand from fans for more tours prompted the second go around beginning this summer.
Kitty, there is a whole of 3 people on this thread who prefer Adam to Marc, and one of them is you. Just because you think people are jealous of Adam being the "chosen one', it doesn't make it so. At some point you are going to have to accept the fact that people don't praise Adam because they simply think he is a crappy singer.
Please tell me you are not really that naive to not recognize this is a MM video. No need to answer...that was actually a rhetorical question. Let's use the QAL Corden video as a point of comparison. This video has been uploaded for 4+ months. It has approx. 155,000 views. There are 3,000 thumbs up vs 129 thumbs down which equates to a 4.3 disapproval rate. QAL and James video. It has 2,737 million views in 2+ months. Thumbs up equal 34,000 vs. thumbs down at 738. The disapproval rate is at 2.1%...far better than this video. An interesting note is that a good majority of the negative comments on Adam happen to come from hispanic gamers that troll QAL videos. That connection has not gone unnoticed . It falls into that same category of you saying you don't communicate with Todd other thatn here, but yet your comments prove otherwise. (I know Marc has a hispanic following and his voice just happens to be on various games as verified by Todd in several comment sections.) I can't demononstatre here...but I just dropped the mic!
Une chanson qui ne s'encombre pas d'artifices , brut de décoffrage , mais qui sait nous atteindre au plus profond de notre coeur , et réveiller le bien que nous avons tous en nous . Ne jamais baisser les bras !
Lets remember that NO ONE IS TRYING TO REPLACE ANYONE. Not Adam, not Marc. Freddie will always be the king of Queen but we should be grateful that the boys are still making music. I think it’s an amazing performance🥺🥺
right, marc has the voice of freddie not to mention the bands awesome playing and the bassist!!!! keeping that iconic bass line whilst sounding almost identical to the iconic bowie!! absolute treasures in the sky!!🌻❤️
OMG!!! I have known Marc is a complete revelation, but that bass player doing Bowie’s part was unexpectedly awesome! I want to see these guys! MM seems like Freddie’s offspring.
Lo mejor de QUEEN una banda para ver y escuchar, estos señores evidentemente ponen su corazón en imitarle, pero me da tanta nostalgia que ya mismo me iré a ver la banda original...a estos si los escucho en vivo no dudo que lloraré.
I was never a big fan of this song until i heard this version and i know Freddie sung it...but WOW.. its now my top 5 of all time....THank you Mark and Bass Player.....
Everybody's talking about the band doing a spot-on cover with Freddie (Marc) and Snape but the guy with the yellow jacket and a mustache is the real eye candy.
That's exactly what I was thinking, sometimes Marc Martel sounds more acurrate to the studio version of the songs than Freddie. Don't get me wrong, I love Freddie, he was an awesome singer and vocalist in general.
Not only Marc Martel sound just like Freddie. But the bass player sounds exactly like David Bowie!!! Goosebumps!
agree
Is snape too
luispower1979 He sounds good, YES but just like Freddie....NO F@%$!&G WAY. I can't emphasize enough how wrong your comment is and I'm sure Freddie would agree.

He can't replace Freddie, but Freddie must be proud of him right now.
Agree. Humble guy, sounds very similar. A monster.
But he can replace Adam Lambert
I disagree, it's pretty boring to have someone that sounds like you. No stage presence either. Marc only brings nostalgia to the table

youandwhosearmy? That’s not a whoosh, you’re an idiot. If that was a joke, it’s a completely stupid one.
父のようなお客さんが興奮して歌う姿は本当に私を幸せにします。
ありがとうマークとその友人たち
Kudos to the bass player and his Bowie part, too. Well done. P.S. Gotta love the guy they cut to in the audience, in the yellow suit. He's rockin' out.
Hey, it was Freddie's official birthday party, they were all rocking out.
this is great..Freddie would be proud
yup ;o;
I AM !
The freddie and bowie live show we never got too see.... this is awsome from marc and the band 👏
I got tired to count how many times I have been here over and over again...his rendition has captured me in his cell...
These guys are very good. The singer has a great voice. No one can replace Freddy and they don't even try!
frankie28web nice name
frankie28web my name is Frankie too
If anyone can replace Freddie it's this guy.
frankie28web i am no Queen Fan. Its Bullshit.Marc sounds as good as Freddy. Objective meaning
We were blessed with this man.. ❤
The more i hear Marc sings the more i distinguish the voice of Marc Martel and Freddie Mercury but when i really close my eyes and just listen from the bottom of my heart i hear part of Marc and Freddie singing together, it's like magic. Good God marc is still here while Freddie jamming up in the stars.
lol the dude at 1:50 looks like he's having fun tonight
damn right he is lol
mr streamin that late reply though
I think he is Freddie's brother 👍👏👏👌.
Intense
Lmaooo
wow, they brought back to life Freddie, Bowie and Snape!!!
when i close my eyes, i really heard Freddie and Bowie who sing this.
Me too
For real
Is AMAZING AND TRUE
No
But when you open your eyes, it's Severus Snape and Elon Musk who sing.
1:26 "chipping around kick my brains around the floor, these are the days it never rains but it pours" such a very hard passage to sing but Marc nails it effortlessly. Sounds like Freddie live on the We Will Rock You tour from 1981.
Freddie and David must both be so proud... I've already looped this twice already! EASILY my favourite cover of "Under Pressure", especially because of the crowd joining in! :D
It's quite good. Of course, no one could replace Freddie but these guys are actually good. I wish they had stuck with the original beats.
If they did that they'd run into many lawsuits for plagiarism, as long as the notes are higher/lower or the melody is slight different it's techinically not the same thing, so they're just playing it safe.
+ El Chapo Jr.
Nonsense, there have been lawsuits for tunes being similar to existing tunes. And they likely have permission to use it. It is on the official Queen youtube channel.
My, and your opinion aren't set in dirt, so we both are just guessing, we don't know exactly whos right or wrong so you can't really say "nonsense".
And as long as the melody or the bassline is different or in a different octave, they still have the right to send you to court, but they're less likely to win.
El Chapo Jr.
Yes, I can say nonsense. The lyrics are still exactly the same. It has nothing to do with legal issues.
Severus Snape is not dead!
He's now playing bass guitar for Queen Extravaganza! jk
I was just about to write that haha
Marlyn DeQueen your comment just made my day
Marlyn DeQueen ❤️🎀❤️
My jaw dropped when I saw snape on bass guitar
Marlyn DeQueen yes :D
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between the two of them-----------AWESOME!!!!!! Close my eyes and see two of the greatest singers still among us!!!!!! God Bless these men. I know Freddie and David are watching down on them to keep them safe to carry on their legacies!!! RIP Freddie and David
I love how Marc doesn't try to replace Freddie in any way, but is just as much a fan of the music as the people in the crowd :)
Really? While he did has a similar voice, he himself said he taught himself how to sing by trying to impersonate other singers. He has studied so extensively that he put out a video, How to sing like Freddie...".. Now take a look at the clenched fist, the backward kicks and the harlequin vest....has Freddie written all over it.
+slynnc kitty
Just f off, troll!
Temper, temper. LOL. Just repaying Marc's trolls, Hon.
slynnc kitty I have seen that video before, yes. Impersonation and replacement are two quite different things, my friend. He's we'll aware of the fact that he could never replace him and doesn't try to either. He's a big fan and is simply applying as much of Freddie onto himself as he can, much like a cosplayer would :)
I never mentioned replacement, did I my friend. When you apply as much of another person onto yourself as you can, you are imitating, not being authentic to yourself.
I vote this vocal for the Queen
The bassist sounds like bowie while Marc martel sounds freddy what a beautiful voices
David and Freddy got bored in heaven apparently, thanks for visiting us again in other humain life forms
Freddie
*humane
*David and Freddie and Alan Rickman got bored in heaven
I've been following this singer for awhile. His name is Marc Martel from Canada. Nothing against Adam Lambert, but this guy should be singing with Roger and Brian.
Marc deserves the big stage with Queen, its one the big injustices of the world.
I can't believe people are talking bad about marc he is unbelievable. I grew up listening to Queen. he is singing the greatest singer of all times songs. wow truly appreciate how great he is. rip freddie
The only ones who talk badly of Marc are Glamberts who are afraid Marc will take their fantasy love interest's job, or Freddie purists, for whom anything NOT Freddie is bad. I understand where they are coming from, even as I don't agree with either.
Sweetie, most of us are only defending Adam against the negative things Marc fans say abut him becuase they are jealius that Brian and Roger chose him to be their frontman. I had never heard of Marc until one of his fans came to a QAL video pimping Marc over Adam. Adam fans are also not the ones that create the comparison videos like you yourself have done. (Under false pretense of course.) It was supposed to be about who you liked better and why and it turned into you defending Marc against ever Adam fan that comments there. We are not afraid of Marc...the band has already said they will probably never play with anyone other than Adam. They are now family. The demand from fans for more tours prompted the second go around beginning this summer.
Kitty, there is a whole of 3 people on this thread who prefer Adam to Marc, and one of them is you. Just because you think people are jealous of Adam being the "chosen one', it doesn't make it so. At some point you are going to have to accept the fact that people don't praise Adam because they simply think he is a crappy singer.
Please tell me you are not really that naive to not recognize this is a MM video. No need to answer...that was actually a rhetorical question.
Let's use the QAL Corden video as a point of comparison.
This video has been uploaded for 4+ months. It has approx. 155,000 views. There are 3,000 thumbs up vs 129 thumbs down which equates to a 4.3 disapproval rate.
QAL and James video. It has 2,737 million views in 2+ months. Thumbs up equal 34,000 vs. thumbs down at 738. The disapproval rate is at 2.1%...far better than this video.
An interesting note is that a good majority of the negative comments on Adam happen to come from hispanic gamers that troll QAL videos. That connection has not gone unnoticed . It falls into that same category of you saying you don't communicate with Todd other thatn here, but yet your comments prove otherwise. (I know Marc has a hispanic following and his voice just happens to be on various games as verified by Todd in several comment sections.)
I can't demononstatre here...but I just dropped the mic!
+slynnc kitty
Do you think anyone cares to read all that useless information you keep posting here? Get lost, kitty.
Simplemente GRANDIOSO !!!
💖💖💖👋💖💖💖👋💖💖💖
3:00 El profesor Snape no tan sólo es el mejor mago, es un gran músico también.
Grande profesor Snape ♥️😅
If I wasn't watching this video and this was just playing in the background, I would never know that this isn't Freddie.
I love his voice so much!!
PERFECT!!! LOVE IT.....SPEECHLESS....the BASS PLAYER IS INCREDIBLE.....
I have watched this video so many times and it is always mind blowing! Absolutely fantastic!!
Oh my god, this guy is unbelievable, WOW!
Une chanson qui ne s'encombre pas d'artifices , brut de décoffrage , mais qui sait nous atteindre au plus profond de notre coeur , et réveiller le bien que nous avons tous en nous . Ne jamais baisser les bras !
2:30 Mr. Martel hits the high pitch that only Mr. Mercury did in studio version
plutao he did in 1984 in london I think
Uh...no. Martel barely hit an E5, while the studio version is an A5, which Freddie hit many times during the Works tour.
@@PinkFloydBootlegs not many times, only once in London 1984
@@asierrey5666 he stopped afterwards he said it sounded bad in the studio and hated it no surprise he stopped doing it
his voice is getting weaker every years with his sore throat and the nodules is getting worse too.
Clearly hear Freddie and David, as much goose bumps.
Niesamowite jest to, że jestem fanem Freddiego i mogę przeżywać jego wykonania zamykając oczy przy Twoim wykonaniu! Cud!
Lets remember that NO ONE IS TRYING TO REPLACE ANYONE. Not Adam, not Marc. Freddie will always be the king of Queen but we should be grateful that the boys are still making music. I think it’s an amazing performance🥺🥺
Favourite queen song
Mac Nicholson
Mine too and Somebody to love
Generalnie wykonanie super. Najlepsze jskie słyszałem. Brawo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
1:52 guy rocking out makes me so happy 😂
The high note is beatiful 😍
right, marc has the voice of freddie not to mention the bands awesome playing and the bassist!!!! keeping that iconic bass line whilst sounding almost identical to the iconic bowie!! absolute treasures in the sky!!🌻❤️
OMG!!! I have known Marc is a complete revelation, but that bass player doing Bowie’s part was unexpectedly awesome! I want to see these guys! MM seems like Freddie’s offspring.
Wow they do it really well
Oh my God I can't believe other song sounds so much like the original my God
Lo mejor de QUEEN una banda para ver y escuchar, estos señores evidentemente ponen su corazón en imitarle, pero me da tanta nostalgia que ya mismo me iré a ver la banda original...a estos si los escucho en vivo no dudo que lloraré.
Vraiment incroyable la voix super
Le seul capable de faire une cover du grand freddie Mercury , le seul capable de s'en rapprocher le plus .
What’s better than having these two, one sounds like Bowie and the other like Freddie 👍🏻
Sounds amazing! I can't believe it they sound just like Freddie and bowie
I was never a big fan of this song until i heard this version and i know Freddie sung it...but WOW.. its now my top 5 of all time....THank you Mark and Bass Player.....
Francois Olivier-Doyon
I fucking love this! I watch it in at least twice a week!!
2:40 freddie... is that you?
Perfect
good god that did sound like him wtf
@@vargagyork8751 pretty sure you are tone deaf.
Incredible how the people sing with Marc and the bassist.
Greetings from Río Cuarto, Córdoba 🙌🏼
God,,,, thanks for bring Freddie back... .....
Freddie Mercury: lead singer
Severus snape: on bass and vocals
Mr clean: vocals and guitar
Brian may: drums
Bo2 CIA guy: keyboard
Can I say that is the Green Goblin on the keyboard? 🤣🤣
Everybody's talking about the band doing a spot-on cover with Freddie (Marc) and Snape but the guy with the yellow jacket and a mustache is the real eye candy.
I cannot upvote this video enough
I cannot believe how much he sounds like Freddie. It's insane.
OMG I'm so mesmerized by the Bowie/Snape hybrid on the bass.
Interestingly both the singer and actor passed away in the same year.
No words can say how amazing this performance is. You know it can't get any better when they both sound exactly like Mercury and Bowie :)
Yes omg * E X A C T L Y*
Oh please morron go fak yourself. Listen to actual Queen for once.
@@pantelisdalezios811 damn nigga he was just complimenting them🥺😂😂😂
2:26mins That's why I'm here.. Even Freddie couldn't do it live... Marc Martel ALMOST hit it... It's just insane ;)
Freddie actually changed the style
Watched him live and he did it as high as the original recording. Bloody incredible
That's exactly what I was thinking, sometimes Marc Martel sounds more acurrate to the studio version of the songs than Freddie. Don't get me wrong, I love Freddie, he was an awesome singer and vocalist in general.
Both Bowie 2.0 and Freddie 2.0 were crazy spot on
Omg I love this cover. It sounds like them. I mean wow. Like wow. I can’t even process this. And that high note note just like the original. Wow
2:25 wow!! 🔊 🔥
