cannedgoods29 yeah, i immediately noticed he slam dunked that part in particular. it's uncanny shit. marc was impressive af, once again. he's truly a brilliant singer & musician.
Lol, I know. He says that he wonders how singers to it so balanced. Bringing grit into the voice is called distortion (feel free to fact check, I'm not trying be preachy) and it's kinda like going I to a scream. It can be difficult to do it in a healthy way and a controlled way because as you can imagine, it can be taxing on the vocal chords and esophagus. I only learned this after I kept on hearing the word "distortion" and looked into it. It has alot more to do with how the vocal chords rub against eachother and the air coming through as well.
Schwibbs different vocal coaches teach different things. Josh Ramsay had to sift through about 10 before he found one that knew how to teach him exactly what he wanted to learn. If you’re a beginner and can’t sing beyond the vocal break without strain, Carl John Franz is perfect for you. If you already know how to do that, why the hell would you go to a vocal coach who only teaches the basic mechanics? TL;DR: Vocal teachers specialize. He has not lost any credibility. Only a person who doesn’t sing would think that.
I have been in music all my life. But what I have learned is two-fold. A God-given gift and paying attention to detail. Marc understands and moves forward....
I know you said this a year ago but I just found the video soo... Anyway, Marc was hand picked by Queen to sing IN the Bohemian Rhapsody AND the Tribute band. So it wasn't just last year. It's been 10 years now. Or will be shortly.
@Controlla I don't think his singing is all that bad either, I really don't see the hate. I mean, the members of the band must've all unanimously agreed to let him perform at their shows, right?
It is a bit of both. He said he was originally singing and people said he sounded a lot like queen. That’s when he decided to cover queen and mimicked things like lip and mouth movement like Freddy.
He’s intentionally doing it to an extent Sure naturally he sounds like Freddie, but I’ve listened to a few of his covers, goo goo dolls, George Michael etc Turns out he’s brilliant and imitation - and a very skilled singer too
Freddie Mercury: Legend Marc Martel: Reincarnation Adam Lambert: Garbage Hotel: Trivago Edit: *damn* Thanks for the likes! I’ve never had so many on a comment!
Just saw Marc perform last nite in Miami. A sold out show. The performance was simply incredible . Brilliant. I’d say that “love of my life” blew me away the most which I didn’t expect. the entire audience let out a unified gasp just a few notes into the song. Later, he told the audience that he thought that Freddy would have enjoyed doing a Christmas album, so he sat on the piano and gave it a go. I can’t tell you what Christmas song he sang because my brain couldn’t consolidate what I was hearing with what I was seeing. Lol! my mom fared worse. She was a crying mess. Do not miss the show if you have the chance to see it!!
wow i remember watching this Marcs cover year and years ago, i was amazed, had no idea he did the vocals in the queen movie. congrats to his new found fame!!
@@justjayceeok99 First of all THEY DID REPLACE HIM, THEY HIRED ADAM LAMBERT, REMEMBER?! Second, all of the best Queens songs are sung by Freddie. Little to nobody gives a fuck of the way you, Adam or anyone else would sing them, they are already made, and there is currently one guy on this entire planet, who can reproduce them, in a manner that they suppose to sound. And thats Marc Martel.
@@MrExcessum they hired a new front man, not a new Freddie. Whether you like my comment or not, it's true. And it's what Brian and Roger clearly believe in. Hiring someone who looks and sounds like Freddie would be entirely more disrespectful than just hiring a new frontman with a good voice.
No. Youll are thinking of a lead singer who sounds similar to Freddie. In a way its an insult. Youll see it as ouh he sings like him he shld take over. So no. Fk no.
Brooke H. Are you dumb or do you live under a rock. MaximillianMus is a youtuber that wants to take over youtube with the profile picture of a matrix character spamming, 'oh yeah yeah' on every video.
I like that he acknowledge the fact that Marc has "the genetics" to sound like Freddie, because that is something i think many people analysing covers leave out. A singing voice is, coming down to it, an instrument - an instrument made of not only vocal cords, but also throat and cheek muscles, lungs, bone structures to give the right resonance, ect, ect.... No matter how good of a saxophone player you are, you cannot pick up a saxophone and make it sound like a trumpet - because that instrument is shaped differently and therefore sound differently. It's basicly the same with voices - Marc has a very similar "tool" as freddie (you can even see it in his jawline), and because of that he is able to sound this similar to him! 👍 (...with a LOT of training and effort on top of that genetics of course)
Probably the most unpopular opinion I'll ever write, and I'm sure I'll get slated for it, and I welcome it....But that was better than SOME of Freddie's live performances (not all of them Darling, and I'm a massive fan of Freddie. The best front man ever, and an immensely talented vocalist, and song writer)
I watched a vid when Marc said that when he talked to one of the Queen members and they asked him how does he sound like Freddie, Marc said he was born like that, then they told Marc that he sorta had a similar facial structure like Freddie so yeah.
I only heard about Marc Martel today from viewers and his voice is amazing. I already subscribed to his channel and its intense and entertaining to hear a real vocal coach explain the nuances of someone singing and doing a cover of a famous song. The average Joe thinks that they can sing, but once you put a mike in front of them then the nerves kick in and reality also clocks you hard, you realize you dont have the training to be on the same level as a world class performer. Also, singing and playing an instrument at the same time- the piano, no less, holy cow that is amazing!!!
He’s so good he sings Freddie’s. vocals in the movie, not Adam Lambert. He sounds so much like Freddie, Celine Dion burst into tears as soon as he started singing at a queen tribute. He has the same mannerisms as Freddie as well, he also resembles him in the head. The only reason Adam Lambert is in queen over Marc has to be purely name recognition and having a bigger fan base but one show with queen and Marc would gain instant name recognition
There were a couple moments when Marc made some facial/body expressions that you had missed when you had spoken to the camera. Go back and see if you notice them.
@@camillep3631 that is why they have choosen gay and diva (Adam) ... I am pretty sure Freddie was not gay and diva too. They did not want another Freddie but they did it... Look... ACDC made big step with Brian after Bon Scott, Journey found guy with extremly similar voice compared to Steve Perry so why no Queen? I know it is 30 years late but who know how new albums would sound with Marc
Martel is a rocking mofo of a frontman! He would simply upstage May and Taylor. Q+ is their show, and they should be the centre of attention after performing in Freddie’s shadow for decades.
He is not only playing a piano but he is playing a piano very, very well. I don't know his music background but I would say a solid classical piano foundation.
Marc Martel is absolutely amazing. My god. If you close your eyes you can see Freddie there. I have been totally speechless the first time I heard Martel. I am a long time fan of the Queen and I have been literally mesmerized by the voice of Martel and how really similar it is.
I agree, this guy should be touring with Queen. Adam Lambert doesn’t’ do Freddie nor Queens amazing talent justice. I’m a 62 year old woman who’s been a musician since I figured out if you banged on pots and pans you could create music. I think it would an awesome experience to see this man preform with Queen. They are coming to Detroit, MI this spring. I’m totally filled with anticipation can’t wait to experience their music run through my body. 😍
I don’t know if that’s just how he sings or if he’s trying to sing in a similar style to how Freddie sang but it’s undeniable how crazy talented either way. If he’s just singing in his normal style than probs to him because it sounds so beautiful and if he’s trying to sing like Freddie that can’t be an easy thing to do.
Glad to see someone acknowledging the fact that Marc has very similar genetics to Freddie. So many have said that he tries to sound like him, yet if you listen to the music from his old band, Downhere, you can hear that he sounds very similar even then.
As I said, his voice is an entire orchestra. Talented Human. His body is featured to sing that way. Every centimetre of his inside and outside makes him a singer of that kind!
As I worked with him, I understood that there is no pop/rock singer like him today.. Also he is one and only MUSICIAN in pop/rock.. LOVE MARC AND HIS VOICE!!
Lol it’s funny how now all that vocal coaches trying to figure out how Marc does it but I appreaciate that you acknowlegde people about the fact that it takes a lot of genetics and talent to sing like this 🙃
I actually have had the same thought about Marc being 'better" than Freddie, but then when I see Queen's concerts and the kind of frenzy and energy behind Freddie's delivery, it explains why his vocals were not 'recoding' quality. It seems to me that Freddie's intention was not to deliver perfect vocals but to deliver the most passionate performance ever every concert. Marc on the other hand is 100% focused on delivering the most accurate replica of Freddie's voice, so he doesn't take any chances and does exactly what he has rehearsed so meticulously. Both are great singers regardless.
Having seen Queen live in the 70s , ,This guy is Freddie born again , don't know why Queen havnt got rid of adam lambert and replaced him with Marc ,his singing is spot on, unbelievable ,what a talented guy playing piano and singing this famous song ,imagine what he would be like with the other members of queen doing a remake of Bohemian Rhapsody.
I sometimes imagine his wife just casually making dinner or quietly reading a book while he’s just SLAYING in the other room 🤣 her life has to be so crazy hearing this voice daily. Incredible
Freddie often modulated songs to fit his abilities live. Amazing singer yes, but the recordings were usually much better than the live performances (as far as vocal quality goes). I imagine we would be hard pressed though to find someone capable of singing AND performing like Freddie. This guy is just crazy good.
I had never heard Marc sing before, and I was completely blown away by how great he sounded!! I’m not any type of musician, but even I can understand how difficult Bohemian Rhapsody would be. Freddy had one of the greatest singin voices ever, so it must take some guts to try doing the song justice! But I was Like “holy fuck” Marc sounds ridiculously amazing!!
@Lightbringer Marc's voice was used by queen in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie and the people who knew Freddie best (his bandmates) said that if they closed their eyes they would think Freddie was in the room listening to Marc. So your suggestion that he is just a bad impersonator is clearly wrong.
What better compliment could you get than somebody wanting to be just like you and singing as good as you let's not get into who's the best but it is the best compliment anybody could get
The thing is, you're probably right. He does everything Freddie did perfectly, but he ALWAYS hits the high notes, which Freddie never could do because if he did then his voice would go. But because Marc has a naturally higher voice, he can hit them everytime and his voice will be fine. Marc also has the ability to go higher than Freddie could, especially for longer periods. I'm not dissing Freddie because I prefer Fred but I'm just saying.
I agree with you Carl . Marc Martel did this better that Freddie live simply because the original recording is so thick with multiple vocal tracks it is extremely hard to replicate. Marc's he choose parts to get the over all flavor were as Freddie with Roger Taylor and Brian May providing vocal tracks seemed to fall short live. I think if Freddie had of did this arrangement one could then make a real comparison . Queen live didn't even attempt the opera section opting for Tape.
This guy needs to grow a mustach.

He’s not trying to mimic him he naturally sounds like him
It's his voice, not mimicking anything. He's been told for years he sounds like Freddie. He was used in the making of The Bohemian Rhapsody Movie.
I believe Marc Mantel is the best to take Freddie Mercury lead in the Queens. He is a natural and plays the piano very well.

I'd agree with you, Carl. Marc`s live performance of Bohemian Rapsody is the best ever. It's almost ideal. I doubt anybody could do better.
This guy nails it.
I’ve been saying it for a while: he is better than Freddie. He does Freddie better than Freddie himself. His singing is just perfect.
Adam Lambert, credit to the guy but Marc Martel on my 1000th viewing of this is easily the natural choice to front Queen.
I like that he acknowledge the fact that Marc has "the genetics" to sound like Freddie, because that is something i think many people analysing covers leave out.

Freddie's Voice was one of a kind, there will be no one like him !!!
There is literally a video of someone sounding 99% like Freddie, just above your comment.
MrExcessum lol
Bill Colgrove oh ya
@Lightbringer Marc's voice was used by queen in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie and the people who knew Freddie best (his bandmates) said that if they closed their eyes they would think Freddie was in the room listening to Marc. So your suggestion that he is just a bad impersonator is clearly wrong.
I am amazed at his wonderful diction he has . Understood every word
Marc is a natural tenor with an easy upper extension, but he’s obviously done his homework, the breathy vibrato is spot on
Marc is just super fantastic so much talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻💕
He sounds so clean it's insane
Who else came here just to listen to Marc's performance again? he is soooo good.
Marc Martel is the best Freddie Mercury ever!! Wish the band ask him to tour with them.
I saw mark in concert last month he is awesome dances just like Freddy . I want to go see him again !! He gave a great performance .
He is better than Freddie. I’ve have witnessed him live. Remarkable show. Why is he not touring with Queen?
@Guitar_Weeb better singer
May doesn’t want to get upstaged.
This is one HELL of a reaction video Sr! I enjoyed your input all throughout.
Fun fact: 2 years later it turns out Marc Martel "actually" done the vocals for the Queen movie: ua-cam.com/video/O2T0sv26GDc/v-deo.html
Marc Martel sensacional, artista completo, perfeito!!!!!!!
I've seen him do it live with an orchestra in Mexico, it's out of this world.
I really think when people die they give their blessings to someone else
Like freddie died and his voice is now in marc martel
I'm seeing more and more of the reaction videos of Marc coming up, and that's a good thing.
OMG I booked ticket for later this year with no knowledge of just how amazing this guy is OMG heaven!
Pause it at 4:07. That is Freddy's mouth shape to an absolute T, teeth and all.
Marc even emulates Freddy's overbite on occasions for more characteristic authenticity...damn this is weirdly good.
Polarizer I noticed that, too. It’s almost like he’s channeling Freddie.
Marc Martel: a
Guitar: Am I A Joke To You?
What better compliment could you get than somebody wanting to be just like you and singing as good as you let's not get into who's the best but it is the best compliment anybody could get
I agree with every comment on this page. This guy is a talent that is just god given. I want to hear some originals now..............I am a fan
go listen to his album Impersonator, all original, all him.
Insane singing but his live piano playing is massively underrated
Mark Martel IS THE BEST SINGER ALIVE!!!!
wow , calm down there. take it easy man.
True
The thing is, you're probably right. He does everything Freddie did perfectly, but he ALWAYS hits the high notes, which Freddie never could do because if he did then his voice would go. But because Marc has a naturally higher voice, he can hit them everytime and his voice will be fine. Marc also has the ability to go higher than Freddie could, especially for longer periods. I'm not dissing Freddie because I prefer Fred but I'm just saying.
@Lightbringer Thanks. Martel always sounds the best singing from his living room.
@Lightbringer If you're saying Marc sounds like shit you're basically saying Freddie sounds like shit
Freddie reborn.....
I agree with you Carl . Marc Martel did this better that Freddie live simply because the original recording is so thick with multiple vocal tracks it is extremely hard to replicate. Marc's he choose parts to get the over all flavor were as Freddie with Roger Taylor and Brian May providing vocal tracks seemed to fall short live. I think if Freddie had of did this arrangement one could then make a real comparison . Queen live didn't even attempt the opera section opting for Tape.
If marc was doing a queen performance, I wouldn't go to hear someone sing like Freddie I would go to hear Marc.
6:37 close your eyes. He sounds exactly like Freddie
NOTHING REALLY MATTERS, NOTHING REALLY MATTERS TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
