Actually, from what Marc has said in the beginning he didn't even know who queen was, and that numerous people were telling him he sounded very similar to Freddie. I guess the rest is history đ
In February 2020 I was blessed to see him live, in Germany.
I will see him again, in October, this year, in MĂŒnchen.
I will see him also in October in Mannheim Germany
Saw him in May of 2022 in SĂŁo Paulo. What a great show!
Thanks Denise! Yep, blew my mind the first time I heard it too.
He did a lot of the singing for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie if Iâm not mistaken.
I love when he sings Queen, but I love his own music even more. And I can't stay away from his Christmas music all year long, especially any live performances! đ đČ He is such a gift! đ
Should check out his 'Mercurotti' It is his Pavarotti/Freddie Mercury mash-up of Nessun Dorma you didn't know you needed.
That was seriously great!!
You'd like to hear more of Marc. There's a big treasure trove of songs to choose from: Love Of My Life, You Take My Breath Away, Freedom '90. Killer Queen, Kiss From A Rose, Under Pressure, I Will Always Love You, Unchained Melody, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Don't Stop Me Now, to name just a few. Take your pick!
Great reaction! Marc is an amazing musician, singer and songwriter. His yet channel is a fantastic rabbit hole!
Heard this last night on Shoky - of course it was a request from Denise. It's absolutely marvelous. He even sounds like Freddy!!
Phenomenal performance, that's all I'm going to say.
Celine Dion dijo que Ă©l era el mejor para cantar la mĂșsica de Freddy!!!!! Es increĂble, busca cuando le canto a ella y quedo atĂłnita đ era una sorpresa y se cumpliĂł â€â€â€
Great reaction. I was fortunate to hear Marc sing live with the band Downhere back in the early 2000âs. What a voice and talent.
He does all the Freddie parts perfectly from the isolated version! Itâs insane!
An obnoxious amount of time studying Mr. mercury⊠Not really. Marcâs voice is naturally close in timbre to Freddieâs. Marc did land his voice to the infamous biopic. He recorded every song phrase by phrase. So, itâs only natural that such an astute ear as his can reproduce what he recorded in such hi def.
Great reaction, mate!
If you want to hear more from Marc, I would recommend either his âBrady bunchâ cover of Under Pressure or his own song called Paradise. Frankly, anything from his album _Impersonator_ is incredible.
m3m3m3.. This guy is dumbfounded..haha. We know better. We all have doppelgangers , some alive and some no longer with us. Think about it my friend. The world and specifically us keep it going on. Not our choice or decision......it is more than that.
â@@MegaSlowburneryep, I agree. I have a doppelganger and I didn't know how to act around her! It was like looking in a mirror. I was at a loss for words! Everyone around us was laughing. They were mutual friends with us, and were quite entertained that we finally met each other.
His album is titled appropriately!
@@jaidenobrien
Actually, if you listen to the lyrics on that album, they present an antithesis to the title.
dude, he literally studied even Freddie's ammount of mouth open, etc for years. Yes, his voice is really similar to Freddie, but has been studied Freddie to detail for yars now and you can find the easily just search some interview with him.
Who wants to live forever is also incredible.
Marc sounds 99.9% like Freddie. I love Queen. I have 4 Queen tattoos. Lyrics from "The Show Must Go On" and "Bohemian Rhapsody".
99.9 % like Freddie? đ€Łđ... No... just no. vague similarities at the very most, and that's having to also use your imagination a good deal. If one can't clearly tell the difference immediately, then they don't remember what Freddie sounded like! đđđ
â@@jaidenobrien So Roger Taylor is a bad judge of Freddie's voice?
â@@jaidenobrien1000's of avid Queenies say this of Marc, and just because he doesn't for you, doesn't mean it's not a real phenomenon. You're only the authority of your own experience.
@@jaidenobrien I get that you are being contrarian, but try to use some logic here. Its hyperbolic to say Marc sounds like Freddie 99%, so I get the push back. He doesn't. But, the guy sounds like Freddie 85%-90%, and its delusional to think otherwise. Sometimes he sounds more like Freddie than Freddie did, and he performs notes that Freddie never attempted live. Freddie had phases where he sounded a bit different, especially comparing the early years to the later years. Marc is like taking an average. He sounds like a blend of Freddie through all eras of Queen.
Have you ever seen Roger Taylor's reaction to Marc when Marc auditioned for Queen's official tribute band? He has a haunted look, as if he is hearing Freddie. Its the reason they didn't pick him over Adam. Imagine hearing your dead friend's voice every night? If Roger and Brian thinks Marc sounds eerily like Mercury, then who are you to say he doesn't? The fact that they had him do vocals for the movie Boeheim Rhapsody tells you all you need to know.
Is Marc an exact copy of Freddie? No. Does he sound like Freddie, more so than anyone else? Yes. It's silly to deny that.
they used him for the freddy singin in the movie bohemian rhapsody
Marc is an amazing and extremely dedicated musician. He does definitely try to sound like Freddie, it isn't all natural and "just the way he sounds naturally" like so many people like to say it is. Listen to his original performances from several years ago covering this song and he doesn't sound the same. Yes he has a similarity in his voice to Freddie Mercury, but he's obviously studied Freddie very closely. That isn't a bad thing either. I have far more admiration for someone who's married talent with dedication to achieve a sound that others can't match. Compared to someone who was just born sounding exactly like someone else. To say Marc is the later is to cheapen his talent, because real talent requires effort and dedication.
Fantastic reaction! Iâve literally watched a ton of reactions to this and yours is by far my favorite.
So, Marc didn't spend an obnoxious amount of time studying Freddie, as a matter of fact, when a lot of people told him that he sounded just like Freddie, he didn't even know about Queen and who Freddie was. So him sounding like Freddie, is actually not him trying to sound like Freddie, but him just naturally sounding like Freddie. But after being told that he sounded like someone he didn't know or heard of, he did went and research Queen and is now the frontman of Queen's tribute band, Queen Extravaganza (I think that's what it's called). According to Bryan, the reason why he didn't end up as the frontman for Queen was because he sounded too much like Freddie and it was uncanny or something like that.
Azekel, Marc hasn't sung with Queen Extravaganza (QuEx) since late 2016(?). When they weren't going on tour in 2017, Marc started his own band. By the time Roger Taylor decided to have QuEx tour that year, it was too late. Marc had already booked his new band for a tour.
And, the reason (IMHO) Marc isn't singing lead for Queen is that Brian May would have to step back from the spotlight and have fewer guitar solos. He wouldn't be able to overshadow Marc the way he does "Glambert."
â@@odonovan The reason Brian & Roger said they didn't want someone who sounded exactly like Freddie is because it would be too weird to hear Freddies voice then look over and see someone else standing there singing. They decided to get someone who get close to sounding like Freddie but still have some of their own voice as well.
@@rogerdaly6326
Itâs not what they say, itâs what they do. They are very actively trying to distance themselves from anything Freddie-related. I suppose they are attempting to prove they are worth their salt w/o Fred. Marc reigns our memories of Freddie right back in with every move and every note he sings. Hiring Marc would be very anti-productive for May and Taylor. The minute Marc steps in front of the Q+, Bri & Rog would end up being backing musicians for Marc. I doubt that would be satisfactory as they are trying to be the stars of their own show.
@@papabearM3 At it again, Brian, Fred, John and Roger were all the VERY BEST of friends, they are not distancing themselves from Fred, MM has made a lot of money off a dead man, he'll tell you himself, he knew he was on to a good thing imitating Fred, I don't care what he does but please leave Brian, Roger and Spike out of it. You are a pathetic, jealous envious Troll M3, you come out with the same garbage time and time again. Leave MM to do what he wants without involving anyone else.
â @@xmasbunnyscotland5355
LOL The very best of friends wouldnât call their best friend âsociopathâ like May and Taylor call John.
#sauceydad you should give a look at his performance on American Idol.
He was on idol??
â@@SauceyDad Marc didn't compete on American Idol, he came in as part of the Queen Extravaganza band to kick off Queen week in 2012.
First time I herd Marc sounding like Freddie was while listening to one of the albums by his group DownHere. There was a bonus track at the end, after a quiet gap, where they break out in a few seconds of acappella harmony sounding like Queen.
when queen+ stop touring, this is the man who will carry the bandâs legacy
There are over 70 Queen tribute bands who will all be carrying on Queenâs legacy.
Heâs great, he did a lot of the vocals for Bohemian Rhapsody đ€
Marc NATURALLY sounds like FreddieâŠbeen following him for years
He is an amazing musician
He was the sing voice of Freddy in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. I got to seem him live in his Queen cover band and the were awesome!
Natasha24, I took my 15 year old to the Orlando, FL (USA) show, on March 5th of this year. I got to watch a teenager's mind get totally blown.
Huge MM fan! He's amazing!
He said it!..Warts and All
He does somebody to love me much better. I recommend watching him on that video
Yalanda Fish, the song is "Somebody to Love."
who want to live forever is much better tho :P
That his son? Wow đł!
Marc is French Canadian and a dopple for his father Michel at a young age. Lucky genetics, musical giftedness and infinite skill and talent take care of the rest : )
In comments on some other video, a guy said that Marc sounded "similar" to Freddie.
Some people just don't get it.
Maybe some people just don't WANT to get it.
Thx Nick ~
He is not trying to imitate Freddie. Well, maybe a little, but this is his real voice. Frankly, Freddie couldnât do this live, and Lambert sure couldnât.
He did have a similar sound to Freddie, but as he says, He puts it on when singing Queen. Watch his exaggerated facial expressions which he said he does to produce the sounds. Adam doesnât need to imitate Freddie, he is an original, inter national superstar.
@@sasha07775 , Adam Lambert is hardly an international superstar. Paul McCartney, Elton John, Taylor Swift⊠those are superstars. Adam Lambert is a reality TV star fronting a part-time band of dudes in their 70s.
@@ugadawgs1990 Wrong, he has toured the world both with Queen and as a solo artist. Perhaps not as big as the ones you mentioned, but still a superstar.
True
Freddie DID this live! They simplified tue song for the stage, singe in the original, Freddie harmonises with himself, which he cannot do on stage ( and Martel doesn't do, either). Did you never watch Live Aid?
First marc
Since your post, Marc Martel's band is playing the World to sellout crowds. I guess if you can't have the original Freddie, this is the next best thing.

2:53 - NOPE! đ That's Marc's normal voice. All he does, to sound more like Freddie, is to add a bit of a British accent, so his accent sounds more like Freddie's, when he sings. When he sang lead for "downhere," he says he heard it EVERY night, after the show, from audience members, even when he purposefully tried to NOT sound like Freddie. Keep in mind this is Marc's own version of BoRhap. He's not trying to duplicate any certain Freddie Mercury performance. Freddie never actually sang BoRhap all the way through, either. Queen had a backing track and would leave the stage altogether, while the operatic portion was playing. In the studio, Roger Taylor sang the high notes for Freddie, which is why Freddie "dodged" them so much of the time, in live performances.
Marc fronted his own multiple award winning Christian band (called "downhere") for over 10 years. Then he auditioned for Roger Taylor and won the lead with "Queen Extravaganza," Queen's "official" tribute band, in late 2011. He sang with them until the end of 2016. When they were not going to tour in 2017, he started his own cover band, "Ultimate Queen Celebration." He's performed with them since, along with "Black Jacket Symphony" (they do EXACT recreations of famous albums, in live concerts), "Symphonic Queen" (in Mexico, with a full symphony orchestra), and as part of "One Vision Of Queen" (a re-named UQC). He frequently tours central and eastern Europe, either with his band or with local musicians recruited for the tour. He's done concerts around the world, appearing multiple years in such far-flung locations such as Israel and Australia.
Marc also did vocals for the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie. The 30+ year old analog magnetic tape master recordings would not have been up to modern "Dolby Atmos" digital quality standards, so they used a technique called "vocal layering," where they blended Marc's voice with Freddie's. If they didn't have a good copy of Freddie singing something they wanted in the movie, it was purely Marc singing it. for some reason, they gave Marc almost ZERO credit in the movie and after. But, if it wasn't for Marc, that movie could never have been made. You can see the tracks in this photo from the Live Aid scene mixing board, where Freddie's track is "LV-STEM LVAID DRY FREDDIE_01" and Marc's track is "LV-STEM LVAID_01," directly beneath it.

Marc has several albums of his own music out as well. In December 2019, Marc was the special guest star for the Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant Christmas tour. He brought the house down every night. The three of them released their cover of "Silver Bells" which went to number one on the Christian Music chart. For Christmas 2020, Marc teamed with Amy Grant to release their cover of "The Christmas Waltz," a Frank Sinatra song. Marc has also released albums of his own music, traditional Christmas music, and other covers.

Marc is a Christian singer from Canada. Check out his band downhere.
He sounds exactly like Freddie
I believe Freddie "Jumped" him" It's as if Freddie was reincarnated.
PLEASE do some REAL Queen! We Queenies will make your channel grow and you'll enjoy it, too! Not the hackneyed "best of" stuff, but their deep-cuts. March of the Black Queen, Innuendo, Prophet's song ... so many real masterpieces to discover.
Donât get the Mitch Freddie thing nothing a like they donât look or sound like each other
Marc Martel is simply put, the Wish version of Freddie Mercury! đ
People wished Freddie could come back, and Marc is who we got!
@ThatllShowEm , yes, you're right. We have to settle for what we have.
@@jaidenobrien
We donât have to settle for anything. Thankfully, Marc is an excellent vocalist/musician/songwriter in his own right!
đđHe's the world's best number one soundalike!!
Even with his original band "downhere" writing and singing their original music, Marc was an amazing musician, songwriter and vocalist as were his bandmates. They were nominated for numerous awards and won quite a few. "Sound alike" doesn't begin to describe the talent of Marc Martel. : )
