![[First Time] Marc Martel - Bohemian Rhapsody Queen Cover Reaction (Freddie? Is that you?!)](/img/n.gif)
Not to compare but in terms of the quality of the voice Adam Lambert (AL) nailed it!!!😍😍😍🤩🤩. He has his own style, unique, original and golden voice. That's why people love him so much not only his voice including his personality🤗😊. God bless.
I agree with every word!!
Why is this still an argument, Adam is on his 9th year touring with Queen. Duh ?
EXACTLY
@Euler's Not logging into this acc again That’s ok, Queen love his interpretations which is why they chose him.
marc is better
@@murderface3r Brian and Roger don’t think so.
@@sasha07775If they dont think so, they are wrong... But, actually, They dont want Marc because his Voice is like freddie's.
I don't think comparing the two like this should be done
They're both great singers in their own way, they both have very different styles of singing so comparing them really makes no sense to me
MartelAndQueen yeah it’s silly to compare. Just enjoy both
Yes they are both good, but when you get the big hype about who should front Queen, things have to be taken into account. Marc is a great impersonator, but he doesn't come close to Adam. I have seen Adam twice, he is flawless, Marc has to work hard to sound like he does, he will sooner or later lose it. Adam won't
Roger Taylor, I believe it was on the Show Must Go on doc said it best: Been there, done that. Put on your fake mustache, put on our yellow jacket, and enjoy a career as a Cruise ship singer. Adam 4 life!
@@theladystyle1 I doubt he ever had Marc in mind when he said that! LOL
@@BuinidhMoChridheDoAlbaMarc naturally sounds like Freddie, he doesn’t have to work at it. However, I do feel that Marc doesn’t have the passion behind him singing Queen’s songs. Adam has him beat there in my opinion.
Marc reflects the beauty of Freddie’s voice and I love listening to him. Adam is his spirit reborn was a truly amazing talent of his own. He totally lives it. I am team Adam, but I love them both.
I love Marc 💖 not only because he's Canadian🇨🇦 but because his talent blows me away. Not taking anything away from Adam he does have that classic rock voice and I think that Queen chose him because of his showmanship and also because they didn't want someone to sound exactly like Freddie. Thank you Frank☕Nice reaction👍 That hat suits you very much😊

Adam is a pop singer and has not a single tock bone in his body.
Adam was in a metal band years ago and sang a lot of rock on American Idol. He’s got rock in his blood. Martel is just a mimic. He just doesn’t have the vocal abilities or skill that Adam has. Adam is the finest male vocalist alive today. Incredible voice.
I would pay to see Marc Martel then I would Adam any day.
@@tracypriest4386 got that right...
Marc is a fkn hack
Maybe they’re biased or maybe they just recognize true talent when they hear it. After all they also chose Freddie Mercury as their frontman.
"I think he's the best singer around . I don't know anybody that could out sing Adam Lambert. I really don't." Roger Taylor.
Brian May about @adamlambert : "the voice is stupendous there is not another voice like that in this planet"
Many people who just hear that Queen chose a young guy from a talent show are sceptical at first. How could he fill Freddies shoes!? No way! So your surprise is so typical, I can say. I love the stories about the sceptics who finally, reluctantly, go to a show, "just for Brian and Roger", standing there with crossed arms when Adam comes out, and after 3 songs they are fist-pumping and cheering for him. You should really hear him live, jaw dropping experince, the man's vocal abilities are out of this world! And that paired with his stage work, charisma, musicality and chemistry with the rest of the band makes the new Queen a match made in heaven.
Marc is a great singer too, but I don't like it that he pushes the Freddie sound too much, it will never sound natural for me. Not to mention that he is not the natural entertainer that Adam is, so he wouldn't be an ideal frontman even if Queen wanted a soundalike.
You know apokab, Marc is a great frontman, just not in the style of Freddie or Adam. I think you and many others are too much fixed on the show. Brian has said in an interview that their shows were never scripted. (And did you like them?) Now I think they are! They use all kinds of props. Freddie never needed those! It's such a loss for spontaneity! I think, even though they call it a collaboration, to me it looks more that Brian and Roger adapted their show to Adam! And they keep on hammering Adam hasn't replaced Freddie! Really? They cannot fool me! One positive thing: playing Doing All right, even though Adam really doesn't know how to sing it well. LOL
@@Leander_ The voice is very important, no doubt, without that they could not pull off a show like that. But the voice is there, clear, consistent, powerful and never boring. Beleive me, the crowd wouldn't go crazy and cheer seeing Adam with the crown on his head at the end of the show if his vocal performance didn't earn it for him. And yes, such a huge stage show limits some of the spontaneity, but there is still space for enough of it to make every show different and exciting. And of course they adapt the shows to Adam! That is what a collaboration is about! They clearly enjoy to experinece with everything that Adam's vocal and other skills make possible.
I am not sure what props you are talking about that Freddie did not need, but Queen shows have always been spectacular and grandiose, with all kinds of special effects.
Also don't know what is your problem with Adam's Doing Allright, I think he sings it beautifully.
@@Leander_ it's 2019 already. Of course everything has changed.with the technologies and all, it's not realistic that you'll stick to the 70's and 80's style. And if freddie is still alive today i'm sure he will also adopt to the changes in technology and styles and all those stuff. Freddie is known to not stick to the thing he did before he keeps on evolving just like their songs. They don't stick to 1 genra. I think you are the one here who is too much fixed to the idea that adam sucks and no one can sing better than freddie without even watching adam perform live. I call it hypocrisy at its finest.
Apokab It's obvious to me you've never seen Queen (with Freddie) live. The first time I saw them was January 29th 1979 in Rotterdam. I remember the concert vividly. On the wikipedia page it says the Jazz tour was spectacular. I must say it was an ''okay '' show for Queen. Freddie surely hadn't developed his stage presence to the fullest. I wouldn't have called their show 'theatrical' at all. His singing with the audience was minimal. It certainly wasn't my favorite Queen concert. That is saved for April 24th 1982 in Leiden. Still not very theatrical. Freddie did play with the audience a lot !!! I remember I was "blinded by the lights!" And they were on fire that day!
The problem I have with Adam is always the same, his delivery. Listen to the middle part of ''One vision'', it sounds ridiculous.
And those special effects, I remember in 1984 the whole stage was hidden by smoke, why on earth did they think we liked that? I wanted to see John and Roger and of course Brian. They were mostly hidden in that concert.
I thought Adam called himself a guest singer, so they should adapt themselves to a guest singer? Everyone is butt hurt because of one remark of a journalist and no one thinks Adam should adapt to Queen? LOL
@@Leander_ I do not understand what you want to say, was Queen not a spectacular band with Freddie (obviously not true) or the special effects they used was too much for your taste even with Freddie?
Regarding the new lineup, it can be called a collaboration, Adam can call himself a guest singer, they can keep calling it Q + AL, all that probably out of respect to Freddie, but only a blind one cannot see that Adam in fact, "unofficially", totally became part of the band by now. And of course they can and will do anything that fits them together well.
And it is your personal taste if you don't like how Adam sings the songs, what he does on stage, but thank god it is not your band to decide about it. I, together with so many other old Queen fans love it, and no question that this new Queen will always have the support they need.
I really love his performance at KENNEDY HONORS. He made Cher cry. Luuuuuve it! 😘😘
What would those two do If there was never a Freddie Mercury?
When comparing the two Marc sounds tinny.
QAL has a much better sound equipment. It has nothing to do with the voice itself and everything to do with the equipment and the soundboard engineer.
May continued: "Adam lives and breathes that stuff. Adam is style, and that’s not to say he’s not content as well.
"He’s a born rock star and frontman, so it’s a very vibrant relationship we have with him.
“We treat Adam exactly the same as we treated Freddie in almost every way."
Lambert isn't just a hugely talented frontman, filling in for Freddie, he has become something much more.
He added: "He’s a born exhibitionist. He’s not Freddie, and he’s not pretending to be him, but he has a parallel set of equipment. He knows how to deal with an audience. He teases and taunts an audience quite naturally, without thinking about it. He loves to dress up.
In numerous recent interviews, May and Taylor have often talked about the band as a family. How their fractious fights and butting heads helped create musical magic and bring out the best in each other.The fact that Lambert is now included in that sentiment, is the highest possible accolade he could be given. He isn't just helping keep the Queen back catalogue alive, he is an integral part of moving it forward, a creative force in his own right.
In a major interview with guitar world, May reinforced the existing views of just how We still go out there with Adam and do it at the top level. I don’t think anybody could have predicted that, either. What’s great is, Adam doesn’t feel like a replacement at all; in his own way, he’s an innovator on stage. He’s part of our new balance. (Express UK)
I LOVE ADAM, PERFECT.
I've gotta say Adam Lambert by far! Marc strains when singing way to much and a lot of them were his studio songs with his Live shows he has a lot of voice cracks/ strains in his voice. His got an amazing voice and sounds like Freddie but no one is better then the King haha. But yeah Adam can hit all them notes so easy and I don't think I've ever heard him strain whilst singing Queen song, he cares for his voice also... but they were both great but for technique control it's Adam.
Marc is not straining. He textures his vocals which Adam doesn't do.
@@papabearM3 Utter bull crap. You just hate on Adam you just jealous his on tour with the real queen. This isn't the first video I've seen you comment on people's opinions about Adam and Marc. You don't understand anything about singing obviously his better at texture what you going on about idiot. Grow up and go stick your opinions where the sun doesnt shine.
@@spikewoody2868
What? LOL Yeah, okay, child.
@@papabearM3 Child? Haha funny cause you're the immature one that has to comment on everyone's opinions. Is it because no one cares about your opinion other than when you have to hate on someone else's? Grow a pair and actually reply to someone's comment that actually appreciates your thoughts because I don't give a shit.
@@spikewoody2868
My pair is doing quite well, thank you very much. And my activity here or anywhere is absolutely none of your business. So, stick to the subject, if you know anything about it. And if you don't give a shit, then, go screw yourself quietly in the closet.
I would love to see you react to more Adam Lambert! I would suggest his performance of Believe at the Kennedy Center Honors.
Adam Lambert - 'The Gift from God'. I saw Queen and Adam Lambert in 2016 and 2017, and I have not enough words to express my absolute admiration. Adam's voice is extraordinary and his vocal technique has no precedent, that's a blessing.
I fully agree with Brian's opinion: 'And here is the Modern Marvel without whom, for sure, Queen would not be out here delivering at the top level. ADAM LAMBERT is only now beginning to be recognised by the greater public as the true phenomenon that he is. Gifted with a voice in a billion, for himself he is a passionate and unyielding perfectionist. Gifted to us, he is the reason that we are still alive as a functioning rock band. And still able to take on new challenges. Plus ... he’s nice. That’s a big deal when you’re a touring family. Freddie would approve, big time. TONITE !!! For One Night Only ! San Jose !!! Are ya ready ?!!! 💥💥💥💥💥 Also, and I will say this only once, for the benefit of just a few people who haven’t stopped to think clearly. Just imagine how awful it would have been for Roger and myself to tour with a Freddie impersonator. Anyone who suggests such a thing doesn’t belong here. To the vast majority of you lovely people out there - BIG THANKS for being respectful to Adam. In supporting him, you are supporting the life blood of the live Queen legacy. Nothing is forever. This is a precious moment. We never pass this way again. Bri'
Hope you do know that Brian called Martel a Gift from God as well. Brian loves superlatives.
@Diana Nik, don't forget that Marc is NOT a Freddie impersonator. He doesn't wear costumes, have a moustache, or carry a half microphone stand around. He is a vocalist who just happens to sound "spine-chillingly identical" (Roger Taylor's words) to Freddie Mercury.
@@odonovan Vocal impersonator. Lookalike Freddie impersonators can do a better job too if their natural facial features, body type is similar to Freddie's and they only have to emphasise it by adding the moustache, dying the hair black (Marc does that too, btw.) wearing his costumes, holding the half mic stand and doing the moves (Marc does more and more of that too...)
For Marc it is the same with the vocals, he does have a vocal tone that ressembles Freddie's but he also does a lot of effort to sound as much as him as possible, copying his singing style, pronountiation, everything that is not purely the vocal tone. I really can't belive that you can't hear it (or that you haven't seen interviews where he talks about it...)
apokab Come on, apokab, give it up! You are making a fool of yourself! Marc does NOT copy Freddie's mannerisms. And he doesn't imitate Freddie's piano playing. For the Extravaganza he wanted the band to be as close as possible to the album. But now he is free to do what he wants. I don't see Freddie in him, but I hear a good singer playing those songs as they should be played! Not overdramatized like Adam does! LOL
Diana you are spot on. ! Adam extraordinaire . Adam is the whole reason. .... hard fact for some to handle.. but it's just the truth. .. I have commented quite extensively myself on the matter, but as I have told a few others there are some people that will say the world is flat even if we say it's round. They will be bullies, jealous, haters and those things you cannot change.
Adam Lambert always. He's original and probably one of the greatest voices out there right now.
Try Dimash.
Sue Holtz I totally agree with you, ignore M3 m3 m3 he is a MM Troll and puts Adam down all the timne.
xmasbunny Scotland
Would you argue that Dimash has a shorter vocal range? Would you argue that Dimash has less versatility than Adam? Would you argue that Dimash has less control than Adam?
I mean, how am I putting Adam down? I am just saying that Dimash is a much better, stronger, more versatile singer than Adam, which, incidentally, makes Adam not the greatest voice out there.
And, as far as originality goes, you can’t call Adam original. He hasn’t done anything to prove it. Everything he does is a knock of of one artist or another. Name anything Adam originated. Maybe I am nit aware if it. Please, open my eyes to your warped reality.
@@papabearM3 Sorry but I have absolutely nothing to say to you.
xmasbunny Scotland
Of course, you don’t! What is there to say? A fact is an f-ing fact.
You are great - just subbed. Love to see you do Queen - cheers from 🇦🇺
RT and BM about AL: "He is the best singer around" RT and BM to MM: " you can do the karaoke show"
As if we care. Queen themselves is nothing more than a tribute band to themselves! LOL
@@Leander_ ...said the anonymous person on the internet.
Sorry I am going to put the cat in amongst the pigeons, I have read some of the comments on here. FACT Brian and Roger don't want to work with MM, they now have who they think is the best in AL, who at the end of the day has turned Queen back to the great band they were before, he is able to sing all their hits his way. He idolises Freddie and would never try to imitate him, if you don't like QAL you don't have to go and see them. I think Adam is the main attraction at QAL concerts his voice is unbelievable plus he is easy on the eye. I think he has
opened the doors for a new generation of Queen fans, they see all the QAL videos on here (youtube) and they want to go and see him in person. At the end of the day can everyone stop arguing it is what it is. Brian and Roger will continue touring with Adam because that is what they want. You can all argue for as long as you want but it won't change a thing.
xmasbunny Scotland
LOL
NO! Lambert is far from being the main attraction. The main attractions in the Q+ act are still thankfully Brian and Roger since they keep saying they want to retire, so the masses are running to see their last, or next to last, tour. What their fans don’t know that Maylor are going to milk this cow for another 10 years unless some force majeure prevents them from doing what they love doing the most, aka making money. Lambert and AmIdol helped M&T to open the American market. That’s huge. In exchange, M&T pimp Lambert, hype him up. It’s a fair biz deal.
@@papabearM3 Do you know something you are bloody pathetic, you think you know everything you don't like anybody telling you different. I hope they all go on for another 10 years they all work very hard and they deserve every penny they make, maybe you don't agree but I would pay extra to see them because they are that good. They don't hype AL up he could fill a stadium on his own without them, so if they are making plenty of money it probably costs them a fortune to put the concerts on in the first place. I hope they all become billionaires because they deserve it. They are doing something which pleases a lot of folk. I wondered when you would mention money. At the end of the day nobody really cares, if I want to go to a concert I'll pay what I want and I know plenty of other folk would do the same. There is no point in arguing any more you know exactly how I feel and that will never change.
xmasbunny Scotland
Am I now? And you are not in your pathetic attempts to put Martel down under the pretext of defending May’s and Taylor’s honor? LOL
@@papabearM3 You are the MM troll not me., I really don't care what happens to him, you like him so you look after him. Why would I put him down I don't even like him. The only thing that matters to me is QAL .
xmasbunny Scotland
Why am I a troll? Because my opinion is unpopular with Glamberts? Or because I refuse to buy into “Adam is the beat singer ever” theory? LOL I respect musicianship and true talent, but am not going to regurgitate a bunch of unsubstantiated horse shit pushed by May and Taylor. If you want to hear and see who is who, put both Martel and Lambert on the same stage (same effects & equipment), provide them with the same accompaniment, and let them sing the same song.
It’s clear why May and Taylor hired Lambert and why they keep shamelessly pimping him. It’s all about creating a product, promoting that product and selling it while still appearing in charge of the brand. It is not Lambert’s voice or musical talent, since the guy is not a musician of any kind. And BTW, If they love Lambert, may they prosper. It’s their choice. However, I say it is low and unprofessional of May and Taylor to even insinuate that Martel is an impersonator (which he is not!), and that’s after they both swore publicly that his voice, and even his presence, are naturally very similar to those of Freddie. But that was before Martel started selling more tickets than Q+. He is a threat now, let’s put him down! LOL “When they go high, we go low!”
And the fact that that musician wannabe Lambert opened his mouth and called Martel an impersonator while himself is a styleless tasteless karaoke singer, is simply arrogant and insecure.
The bottom line, we shall see where Adam ends up after May and Taylor figure out they have enough money finally and retire their greedy asses. We shall also see what happens with Martel. Judging by the present situation, Martel will put May and Taylor out of business in the next couple of years, his popularity grows that fast! And all based on his talent and skill!
Lol, this comment section, is everyone tone deaf. Marc Martel has a near perfect voice of Freddie Mercury when singing Queen songs. If you went to see a tribute band, you would expect the singer to sound like the original artist, which Adam doesn’t, Marc does not try, he just sounds like Freddie naturally
I would like to see one of these comparisons where they actually selected the most representative clips of each artists and in the same environments, either all on stage, all in the studio and none with external issues like the Another one bites the dust clip for Marc. They are both great artists in their own right but completely different voices and completely different presentations. Marc has proved over and over that he's got so much talent, vocally, musically, and in songwriting, and versatility and ability and despite criticism from some quarters, a joyous and entertaining stage presence. Adam has been known for years for his beautiful voice and obviously now for his larger than life and obviously fun stage show. If people making those comparison clips must compare them, compare them in same environments and time periods. That said, thank you Frank for a great reaction as always.
i agree
@Marc Fan, and don't forget that Adam is free to interpret the songs his own way while Marc is purposely staying true to Freddie's versions. That's like saying Marc has to fight with one hand tied behind his back. Make Adam sing as close to the Freddie Mercury versions of Queen songs, or let Marc do his own takes on them. THEN compare the two. THAT would be fair.
@@odonovan Very good point. Either way it does serve to amplify the point that these comparisons are pretty futile.
@@odonovan Nothing is preventing Marc from doing his own take on the songs, other than Marc.
@@easterslice
The very definition of a musical tribute does prevent Marc from playing with Freddie’s immaculate creations.
Adam is way better and there is no one better performing live today. You need to watch more live performances of him.
You need to get out of Adam zone more often! There are myriads if singers who are way better than Adam!
@@papabearM3 different maybe but not better.....
@@papabearM3you dont must love him it is ok .. but it is not ok to pull him down.just dont do it adam is in oun lig.
Adam lambert is simply incredible!!
Good stuff. Thank you Frank.
Both are incredible singers, I don’t like comparing them personally as they are both amazing singers in their own right and very talented personally I prefer the tone of Marc and the fact he plays piano, guitar etc. just tops it off. But Adam lambert is hands down one of the best vocalists around, he hits the highest notes effortlessly and there is no sign of any strain.
Ben Dobbing
Lambert hits high notes? Well, that’s because he is a leggero tenor and is comfortable in the upper 4th & lower 5th naturally. But listen to him in the 3rd. No power, poor support.
Marc is a lower tenor who dares to climb up to the upper 5th (Bb5), which Lambert never does live. The highest I heard him sing with M&T was E5.
@@papabearM3 perché non vai a sentirti il F#5 che ha beccato a Krakow cantando STL? O i vari F5 durante i finali di We Are The Champions? O il G5 a Brooklyn sempre in STL? Tutto in voce piena, mica falsetto come quel Bb5 di Martel.
Kolniður
3 volte in 8 anni? Per un leggiero? Degno di nota!
@@papabearM3 Quelli sono esempi: l'ha fatto a Wembley 2 volte, Liverpool, Milano, Birmingham, Cologne, Nottingham, Columbia, Sofia, Leeds, Sheffield, Praga, Monaco, Stuttgart, Seoul, Tokyo etc.
Devo continuare?
'Leggero', dipende poi dalla tessitura: Brian Mcknight è un altro tenore leggero ma mai si sognerebbe di cantare nella quinta ottava come Adam, così come LaVance Colley, un altro tenore leggero, ha per natura una voce settata molto più in alto di loro 2, e prende note come B5 in voce piena senza problemi.
Piuttosto, come mai a Martel spesso si spezza la voce quando tenta di raggiungere certe note? 0 supporto?
Kolniður
Sarebbe Adam in tournée in tutte queste città senza May e Taylor? No.
Tesoro, Leggiero è un tipo di voce, un tenore con il posizionamento alto, più alto di un tenore Spinto (Martel). La voce di Marc suona più piena e ha più profondità. La voce di Adam suona superficiale e fino. Inoltre, la gamma vocale modale di Adam è posizionato più in alto di la gamma vocale modale di Marc, ma è più corta della gamma vocale modale di Marc (Martel circa 2+ ottave contro Adam 1+.) Marc utilizza facilmente le terza e quarta ottave. Adam vive nella quarta ottava. Per inciso, le dinamiche vocali e gli abbellimenti non sono la stessa cosa. Qualcuno per favore spiegalo ad Adam. Inoltre, qualcuno, aggiusta l'intonazione di Adam! Per favore! Aspettate! Lo hanno riparato con un'autotune per il loro tour Rhapsody.
P S Brian Mcknight è un falsettino. Canta sempre in falsetto. Inoltre, il suo stile è R & B / Soul. Questo stile musicale non ha bisogno di note alte cantate a voce piena.
I’m just obsessed with Adam....love love love him!!! Thanks for the reaction 🥰😘🥰
Try Dimash.
Calm down. Lambert is disgusting for many people.
@@jakotaki8219
Jako... Behave.
Jako Taki I am calm, good for those people but I know Adam is Amazing...have a nice day!😉
@@papabearM3 Sorry, I won't. I can't stand Lambert. He looks like a clown and sings like a goat. And I can't stand his fans esspecially that silly kitty or peterpan who troll every comment against their idol.
Adam Lambert win per much in high notes, but Marc are good singer too
Lambert can't hold high notes. May often lowers down notes for Lambert-and many people noticed this.
He sounds fuck all like Freddie mark does hands why mark was picked to sing in the film.
Let’s look at Marc’s musicianship....Guitar, piano, writer , performer and amazing vocalist.
Definitely a high score.
Granypanies I did not compare Marc to Freddie, I mentioned to look at Marc’s musicianship.
@Granypanies Please tell me what's the difference between Marc and Adam singing Queen songs. They both pay a tribute. For me there's no difference, except they interpret the songs differently and I prefer one: Marc. LOL
Marc doesn't come close to Adam in anyway. Not in voice, technique and stage presence. Marc has to put in a huge amount of effort to sound like Freddie and falls apart easily
@@Leander_ Adam doesn't pay tribute I've told you before Adam does not imitate Freddie like MM does, Adam would never disrespect Freddie. You MM Trolls are out in force and the lot of you are adamant that MM is the best. I don't think so, AL is Queen's frontman and lead singer and I really don't think MM could handle that.` He couldn't hold the audience like Adam does he is a born showman.
@@xmasbunnyscotland5355 Of course Adam does pay tribute to Freddie. FGS he says it in almost every interview. But you ain't seen nothing yet: www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1128519/Queen-Adam-Lambert-Freddie-Mercury-interview-permission-express-camp-fun LOL
You should watch full performances of both, to have a clear judgement, not just by watching short clips like this, u won't get full ideas. Vocally marc has more similarities with Freddy, but it's just on the surface, it's beauty on the outside. He entertains your ears only, and it feels like he does too much effort to show that he sounds like freddy.
But Adam, even though he has different singing style, but he embodies the spirit of Freddy from inside and make the songs his own, with the same message, same spirit & soul of Freddy. It always feels genuine when Adam sings, without any intention or effort to sound like Freddy at all. That sincerity touches hearts. In short, Marc is Singing Freddy, but Adam is Living Freddy
K SP
This is a bunch of horse shit, forgive me! Apart from the fact that both are gay males singing with May and Taylor, there are no similarities between Freddie and Adam. None!
Adam does not embody Freddie’s spirit! He is trying to copy Freddie’s behavior and wardrobe ideas. That has little to do with embodiment of a legendary artist’s soul!
Marc, on the other hand, makes no claims, yet people all over the world attest to his resemblance to Freddie in almost a spiritual kind of way.
I have seen both Marc and Adam live. I agree that you have to see an entire song to judge who is who. Better else, watch an entire concert. There is no comparison, if you are trying to compare these two. One is a fully fledged musician who is at peace with his voice as well as with Queen’s music and recreates it with reverence and skill. Another one paces around the stage dressed in glitter and is too busy trying to outsing Freddie. No wonder that leaving Martel’s concert we felt elevated, inspired and singing. Leaving Q+AL concert, words like “why,” “really?”, overly produced,” and “karaoke” kept flying. I personally felt empty and annoyed that May and Taylor have sold their soul for hard cash.
M3 m3 m3 So much for allowing others to have their own opinions. Why do you always think your opinion overrides it is more valid than someone else’s? Time to grow up Milla.
K SP You are spot in. In contrast to M3’s assessment upon leaving the concert, here are just a few of the numerous comments tweeted by fans:
@Mike Portnoy
Whatta night!! Thank you @QueenWillRock @DrBrianMay @adamlambert #rogertaylor
instagram.com/mikeportnoy/ My honest opinion (and I told Adam this after the show), nobody can replace Freddie...but Adam is absolutely the greatest most insane vocals I’ve ever heard (literally!)...so he is perfect for the gig!
I never wanna hear anyone bitch about
@adamlambert
being lead in Queen ever again. He's a fucking rockstar and brought the house down. If you aren't happy and proud of him, it's ok because I know Freddie is. Great show Adam!!
Queen with Adam Lambert rocked MSG. Wow, what a show. Gonna go out on a limb and say that @adamlambert is the best male vocalist of this generation. The dude has some pipes and honors Freddie Mercury with class and dignity.
Amazing show tonight @TheGarden! @adamlambert Freddy is looking down on you from heaven beaming with his infectious smile❤ @QueenWillRock was brilliant tonight!! @DrBrianMay @OfficialRMT
I have been to the @UnitedCenter for 3 @NHLBlackhawks championships and @QueenWillRock had that place just as loud last night. If you get the chance to go see them do it. @adamlambert is a monster!
So fortunate that I was there to experience this incredible show. Best I've ever seen and words cannot describe how amazing it was. Never before have I heard so much audience singing on so many songs and Adam was all over the place. His moves are out of this world!
@queenwillrock and @adamlambert are pretty close to perfect. A big rock show with style that Freddy would be proud of. #thegoodymadelife #killerqueen #guitar @ Madison Square Garden
And Adam Lambert, what a great voice do you have, what a spectacular performer you are and what a joy you give to @DrBrianMay, @OfficialRMT and of course the audience. So stop talking bout the pink elephant, you’re a true part of Queen (as Freddie was) #QAL2019, #I
@QueenWillRock with @adamlambert was AMAZING tonight. Adam was so humble and respectful. My favorite concert yet. Thank you keeping Freddie’s legacy going❤️

They are SO FORTUNATE to have @adamlambert front. There is no one who could do it better. His voice is mind boggling, he’s charming, he’s insanely respectful. It brought tears to my eyes and that’s abnormal for me because I am this person 97% of the time: (the Grinch)

Time for you to understand that my opinion is just an opinion, Ellie, Diane, Eva, Lara!
M3 m3 m3 Time to understand that you are a hypocrite. When you call someone else’s opinion bullshit, you obviously think yours is valid and theirs is not.
It's almost disrespectful to compare marc to adam lambert... And even worse... To Freddie!!! I feel sad about it!!!
I am sad Queen fans don't recognize THE REAL MUSICIAN. It ain't Adam.
@@Leander_ Both are real musicians what are you talking about?
@@user-pd6ij7jm3b Tell me, what instruments does Adam play? I think he even said he can't read music. Marc can play numerous instruments, sings, composes, produces, arranges. I don't think Adam can match that!
Both are great singers, but I prefer the tone of Adam's voice rather than the rasp of Marc's. That's simply a personal preference. As a full on stage entertainer....Adam all the way.
Yeah it just touches you more than yelling feeling from raspy ones
Freddie sang with rasp all the time 😂
Marc just seems completely yelly here..
Hats Off to you, buddy, and to Marc Martell, as he just sounds more like Freddy!! I've been listening to Freddy since around 1992 and keep doing that cause he keeps kicking ass of the nowadays music!! Love your stuff man!! Keep on kicking Brother!!
boosted242 Adam sounds nothing like Freddie because he’s not an imitator. It’s FREDDIE!
Marc Martel lacks something in his voice. I don't know the technical terms but it's the way he attacks the words that makes him sound strained. Adam does it so easily while Marc seems to have to fight for it which makes it less enjoying to listen to.
He doesn’t lack anything. He attacks because it is appropriate for the rock style singing . He also adds a lot of distortion, which you might mistake for strain. If he were straining he wouldn’t be able to tour for 20+ years performing some years over a 100 concerts (130 last year). His voice would be ruined after a couple of years like Freddie’s.
Jeanette Kejling
Adam is a high tenor and still doesn’t ever go further than E5 whereas Marc songs live up to A5 and Bb5.
i love your reaction because it is fair but sadly the video isn't, they're both great, but the person who made the video didnt show them in the same situations singing the same songs. too bad everyone is reacting to this one video. but good reaction tho!
also! if you'd like to react to Marc's new song The finish line, that would be cool, i think you would like it a lot frank!
Oh my god, oh no! now I miss Freddie soooo much. So only Marc can heal my heart today, Adam! please help me!
Adam has the best voice this last two decades. Thank you and goodbye!
I love Marc Martel ❤️❤️❤️
He sucks
There's no competition. Brian May and Roger Taylor made their choice ten years ago. Adam Lambert is Queen's new frontman and Marc Martel is a singer in a tribute band.
@ Eva Knauf - Hi. Adam is not Queen's "new" frontman. They have been touring together for years. I only saw part of your comment - the part where you wrote "new" frontman.
@@lizzie6433 I know. Adam was chosen by Brian and Roger more than ten years ago.
I was in Milan at concert of real Queen but in that time the singer was Paul Rodgers and I must say was not good to take that roule.
Now Adam Lambert is very very good performer but I went to the concert of Queen Extravaganza in Padova and Mark Martel it’s really incredible. I always thought that nobody can be like Freddie but Mark it’s really near to him.
I definately prefer Adam. He has his own style. Marc tries to copy Freddie and there can never be another Freddie. The great thing about Adam is that he sings Queen's song very well without trying to sound like or copy Freddie in any way.
Adam doesn’t have “his own style.” He sings pop style and turns every rock song into a pop ditty. Embarrassing!
@@papabearM3 Homophobic you are
Marc does not try, he sings like Freddie
@@papabearM3adam have millions styles ..
I think that Marc preserves the sound and spirit of Queen better. Adam is good, but with him singing, it sounds like a different band... it's not really Queen any more.
Brian and Roger chose to honor Freddie’s vision for the band and continue to evolve. Even during Fred’s time the band is not the same.
“When the whole point of Queen was to be original.” -Freddie Mercury
That’s why the band is called „Queen + Adam Lambert“.
On stage Adam perfected i love him perhaps at it will different story because Marc his voice resemblance Queen's voice . Adam rage is high it allow him to be flexible on high range
first time here Frank, enjoying your style etc. ..... Agree with every comment u made 100%! Spot on. I previously had identical observations. Both are in superstar realm. A better comparison would be made if they sang material outside of Queen for obvious reasons. As for Marc on Queen, it is so captivating because of his natural vocal tambre and his ability to capture those delicate, intrticate nuances of Freddie such as Freddie s unusual vibrato, ennunciation, expression etc.
to sum it up:
Adam makes your hair raise and your blood rush... Passion & Skill! /stands up and claps, nodding head in awe and respect/
Marc puts a smile on your face and warms your heart... Nostalgy & Tribute! /Raises hands and leans back in sit, chuckles with admiration and amusement/
Adam? Passion? For himself, perhaps! Certainly nit for the material he sings! And, excuse me, skill requires proper intonation ti begin with. That G4 at 2:29 is actually Flat! And so is the one at 2:33! G#4 at 3:06 is a glide up to pitch and the interval jump from G#4 to Bb4 takes a nose dive before Adam finds the correct pitch. Brrrr!
Well, you're certainly entitled to your own opinion which I don't necessarily agree with all of them. To be quite honest you are correct about many pitch flaws here which is a technical point of view and I actually agree with most of them.
But your discrediting tone - if I'm getting it right - just does not go with your professional observation at all. I mean to discredit such a phenomenal talent, whether it be Marc or Adam, based on some flaws during such a big show and not see all the amazing things they can do in spite all of these flaws, considering all the nerves, fatigue, and movement is just plain biased in my opinion.
Furthermore, I don't know if you're saying these in general or in comparison because if it is actually in comparison, well... evidently Marc and even the legend himself, Freddie, have "MANY" of "SOME" of those flaws in their live performances and they're not anything short of fantastic in my book and I won't go Brrrr or Grrrr towards their talent and awesomeness. This actually applies to many of the artists we today call Legends! Not implying that either Adam or Marc is one yet...
At the end of the day, it is all a matter of taste. Personally, I think 'passion' and 'emotion' are two completely different elements in music. I do favor some artists over others; I actually can't like many of them, but I won't ever discredit their 'obvious and evident' abilities and talents based on my tastes. Whether I like them or not.
Excuse the bad English...
@@ArtaArias
I agree. I wasn’t discrediting a talent, I was discrediting the notion that somehow Adam is a great skillful singer. IMO he is indisputably talented, but so are millions of other singers. His skills, however, desire for some improvement. This is not just about nerves, it’s about preparation, training and knowledge. Adam habitually takes questionable intervals, glides up to notes and goes off pitch. I think it is because he is not a musician and hasn’t been trained properly. But, then, why the charade when people say “Adam trained in opera,” for instance? No, he didn’t, or we would hear positive effects of such training. Marc is a proper honest-to-god musician: his musical skills greatly surpass Adam’s! More so, this video is about high notes, as if that was the most important merit in singing, especially in emotive singing! The video itself is lopsided and is made by someone who intentionally tries to discredit Marc and elevate Adam. A very dishonest video!
Not talking of Frank here, he is absolutely great!
I prefer Adam and always will.
He's the best😀
Adam is The Best One
Both are excellent...argue with that!!!
I prefer Marc Martel,but Adam Lambert Is a very good performer and frontman👍
Adam Lambert hands down, he can freakin sing, and hold those notes, and also hit them, and no one can compare to Freddie Mercury
Просто Мартел пытается копировать голос Фредди. Но не очень успешно. А Ламберт поет своим голосом.
Мартел ВСЕГДА поет ИСКЛЮЧИТЕЛЬНО своим собственным голосом. Фредди ему копировать не надо, т к его голос натурально звучит как голос Фредди. А Ламберт копирует всех и вся, начиная от Элвиса и заканчивая Кончитой.
You guys don't need to be debating about these kind of things. Even if I'm a fan of Marc Martel, I'm still rooting for Adam Lambert because of the stage presence and hitting the high notes very well. For Marc Martel, whenever I hear him sing, I remember Freddie Mercury. The rasp in his voice just gave me goosebumps (and somehow makes me cry a bit).
But all of you knows that NO ONE can replace the QUEEN, FREDDIE MERCURY or whatsoever. So, stop this. Just respect each other opinions. And by the way, nice commentary/reaction about the two singers.
Bohemian Goddess He adds that rasp when singing Queen. One of the many changes he makes to his natural voice to sound more like Freddie.
Well no competition re Marc and Adam ….. Adam wins hands down!

Watch Adam Lambert's performances on American Idol. He can sing anything.
Their roles are different. Adam forms Queen, Marc is for tribute, Queen needs Adam, Queen fans may follow
Marc, but I'm sorry, Adam is the only one I can take.
Whilst I appreciate that Marc has a good voice. He seems to be capitalising on wow, he looks and sounds like Freddie Mercury, so just covers the songs. Adam appears makes the songs his own, and I think it's nice that he injects himself into the songs. Hell, he must be doing something right if Queen chose him.
That MARC guy DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO WHAT ADAM LAMBERT DOES WITH HIS VOCALS!!! QUEEN MADE THE GREATEST CHOICE.... THATS WHY HE IS THEIR FRONTMAN. ADAM LAMBERT HAS NEVER TRIED TO IMITATE FREDDY, ONLY SHOW'S RESPECT TO FREDDY & QUEEN!!! GREATEST SHOWMAN, HE BROUGHT BACK GREAT MEMORIES OF HOW WONDERFUL FREDDY WAS & QUEEN IS 😍TO THIS DAY..

LOL A CLEAR EXAMPLE of a glambert gone lost in Looney Tunes! Lambert, who sings to pre-recorded tracks and is auto-tuned through wazoo! I just can’t! LMAO
@@papabearM3
Which pre recorded tracks are those?
The difference between the two is that Adam has taken Queen Songs and put his own spin on them, where Mark Martel is a really, really good Freddy Impersonator. He tries to hard to sound exactly like Freddy. Good Singer, but I'll take Adam all day, and twice on Sunday.
So you can imitate Freddie's stage personality and still be called original? And wearing Freddie's crown and still you say it's original? Wow, you all need to see a doctor.
@@babooshka7601 Adam is not the imitator. I suggest you go back and look at Fred’s crown which is nothing like Adam’s.
@@sasha07775 It is a crown, dear. Doesn't matter how big or fancy it is. Only Freddie deserved to wear one. No one else.
There's no way in hell you can say that Adam is trying to be Freddy! No way in hell! Even HE says he's not trying to be Freddy but pays his respects. He doesn't sound like Freddy; he doesn't act like Freddy. The only thing he is, is Freddy's equal when it comes to singing Queen Songs. He can hit EVERY note that Freddy did, and then some.
@@theladystyle1 Marc Martel also says he is not impersonating Freddie. Slynnc kitty continues to accuse him of exactly that. LOL
Marc Martel forever
Marc > Adam
I commented a few times on Lambert so now I get these videos popping up...so here goes' another comment from me. You said it best that Lambert sounds like the 80's rock bands....those were the big hair and spandex pants bands that really hit some awesome notes. ...Like a rock opera, this is exactly what Queen has done with Lambert. People say Queen knows what they're doing because they obviously picked Freddie and now Lambert. Are they sure Queen picked Freddie or maybe it was the other way around.
AKOM 20
Freddie was their flatmate and knew they were looking for a lead singer since Tim Staffel left them: Tim was Freddie’s friend who introduced him to May and Taylor.
Freddie kept saying that their band “would sound so much better” if he was their lead, but they kept auditioning other people. So, Freddie sang with another band and was quickly earning the reputation of a formidable musician with great creative ideas.
Once Freddie was performing a gig with his band and, apparently, May and Taylor were in the crowd. They hopped on stage after the band finished their set and started playing and Freddie started singing. The rest is history.
According to the people who knew the foursome (with Deacon later), Freddie was always the one with the most outrageous ideas and did everything better than May, who still to this day seems to compete with Freddie.
You and everyone should listen to the music Smile squeezed out of their creative box and the band names the duo were calling themselves before Freddie came up with the name Queen and the logo they use to this day! Freddie also came up with the wardrobe ideas for the band, and it is HIS songs (Bohemian Rhapsody & Killer Queen) that brought attention to the band Nationally and Internationally as well as it is HIS outrageous persona that helped Queen rise out of the sea of quasi-experimental bands.
May and Taylor have done very little since Freddie died. Creatively they are bankrupt without Freddie, or at least that’s how it comes across. They are very good musicians and used to write great songs! But, at this time in history, they come across as desperate to stay current and to fit in with the new trends in music, but.. it seems that they’ve completely lost any sense of creative direction and the vision Freddie had for them when he was running the band.
@@papabearM3 Well, there you have it folks! dead on and no need to say more. Well said.
wkw What you have is a narcissistic, big head who thinks she’s know everything and everyone. What some may call a blowhard. I think Queen and and do speak for themselves which much more accuracy then anyone else.
@@sasha07775 nope, wrong again on too many levels....this is youtube and its a wonderful way to share videos and "opinions." read M3's comment. It's written very well and represents what a lot of people think. I still say Lambert is a wonderful singer but he sings just like those 80's rock bands...the ones with the long hair and tights. Some of those bands had amazing musicians that could really hit some amazing notes! Hey, does Lambert even play an instrument or is he just an opera singer????
wkw
Lambert? An opera singer? Maybe karaoke opera! Don’t make me laugh!
It was obvious in "another one bites the dust" that the music and Marc was not synced correctly. He was very consistently off. So for sure not Marc's fault
Adam is fabulous...has a beautiful and Powerful voice...🤩🤩👏👏👏
Adam all the way. I have seen him with them twice, he is absolutely flawless. Watching some clips of Marc, it's clear that his voice will not last as he pushes so much to sound like Freddie. Adam can pull off every song without any real effort. Marc just doesn't have the presence. And Brian always looks so happy when performing with Adam. Sorry I keep editing, but thoughts come to me. I think Marc should have sacrificed a bit of the Freddie sound to be a bit easier on himself, I'm sure he would still done great. His voice would thank him. He is great though. That recording he done recently was great
LOL Marc has been "pushing" rock for the last 20 years, last 8 he has been singing Queen with a much more rigorous schedule than Adam (MM 135 concerts this year alone, AL - 29). Marc's voice lasted so far because he knows how to take care of it. BTW he is NOT trying to sound like Freddie and can't "sacrifice a bit of Freddie sound" because this is this REAL VOICE. LOL I suggest you see Marc live and watch his interviews.

@@papabearM3 Yes I'm agree about the style. But I thought we are talking about their voices.

Marc is not copying Freddie, if we are talking about his voice. He and Freddie are sound-a-likes. Marc can’t sound any differently without doing something unnatural to his voice.
Mala Mala Adam does not try to imitate Freddie in any way, shape or form. Queen did not want an imitator in the band.
Queen's Brian May has hailed the talents of Adam Lambert, claiming that he's the perfect man to follow in the footsteps of Freddie Mercury. ... Brian told GuitarWorld. “He's a born exhibitionist. He's not Freddie, and he's not pretending to be him, but he has a parallel set of equipment.”(Guitar World)
Marc even calls himself an imitator. It goes beyond the singing he even copies many of Freddie’s stage movements.
"...I have always been a natural mimic. I just loved imitating voices that I enjoyed listening to .... George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Jeff Buckley, Bono ..... I would listen closely trying to get the vocal tone just right .... and I would do that until I felt like I could do a believable impression....."----Marc Martel

Queen have already said they will only play with Adam and Adam has said he will stay as long as they want him. There’s talk of possibly a final North American tour this year and it will be with Adam.
Esta claro que Adam Labert tiene mas voz y llega rangos más altos, pero Marc Martel tiene el timbre mas parecido y entona las canciones mejor . El mejor entonces es MARC aparte es un museo completo aunque eso no se juzgue aquí también suma.

Ho adorato la reazione di questo video ❤ Due artisti che in maniera diversa, unica e direi anche umile, alleviano l'assenza di una leggenda intramontabile e insostuibile come Freddie Mercury.

Marc
AL hands down. Marc sounds like he’s trying to be Freddie and NOBODY can be Freddie.
NOpe. Not trying. Just sounds like him. It's called a sound-a-like, for you dumb Glamberts.
Definitely not a glambert I’m 56 years old! Never even heard him until the recent Queen concert I attended. Was shocked how great that concert was. Marc sounds like a cover band. I disliked only one of the songs at the concert that he did. Just happy that Queen music is still out there being introduced to a new generation.
Amy Bradley
Amy, your statement makes no sense. You are talking about Q+ concert, yet telling me Marc sounds like a cover band. Have you been to Marc’s concert? Evidently not. Because musically speaking, his band sounds 10x better than Q+. Just put the glitter aside and listen. Just because the Q+ concert you saw was great doesn’t automatically make Marc bad.
And what would you say if I told you that Q+ is singing covers just as Marc does?
Well both are singing covers but Marc sounds like he is trying exactly to duplicate Freddie and my point is nobody can duplicate him so make it somewhat your own. Seen Marc on a ton of videos but not live. I just prefer someone not trying to sound exactly like someone else. Just relax and be yourself. To each his own
Amy Bradley
Marc is NOT trying to sound like Freddie, Amy. He is a sound-a-like, which means his vocal tone naturally resembles Freddie’s.
Here is Roger Taylor clearly stating that Marc’s voice naturally sounds like Freddie’s. www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/queens-roger-taylor-puts-together-7676679
And if you go to this video @8:05
czcams.com/video/-OprWV1l_Ec/video.html
you would hear Brian May state clearly that everyone who was involved in the QuEx contest agreed that Marc not only had a similar to Freddie’s voice but also a similar to him essence, and calls him a gift from god.
It’s fine if you like Adam, but to spread incorrect information about a singer you don’t know anything about is either self-serving (to elevate Adam) or ignorant. In any case, please, read up or watch some interviews, but stop regurgitating someone else’s ignorant assumptions.
Каждый по своему хорош
I agree... I felt Adam is more metal and Marc, well, Marc is just like Freddie. Adam sounds more screechy metal like. And that's cool if one digs that style. I dig the Marc/Freddie style.
My impression is that when it comes to vocals, Marc Martel, as amazing as he is, struggles reaching some notes, while Adam sounds always in perfect control. And there's much more power behind. This is my impression.
Eleirbag Irodapsar
LOL Nope. Martel is not struggling reaching “some notes.” Which notes would they be? He sings A5 in Under Pressure and climbs to Bb5 in BoRhap. Adam literally never sings above E5. He sounds in perfect control of C5 which is nit a hard note for Adam to hit being a high tenor. Why not climb to A5 on the glissando in Under Pressure?
As far as power, I suggest listening to Marc’s Nessun Dorma vs Adam’s Nessun Dorma. It is immediately clear who is who.
@@papabearM3 Never higher than E5? O.o
czcams.com/video/yt6uq95s1lY/video.html
Aren't the notes in the video, higher than E5?
I'm not an expert, but Brian May said himself that Lambert has more vocal range than anyone he worked with. Plus it's also reported how he is able to "belt" even high notes
czcams.com/video/3oJvAmxe6P0/video.html
About "nessun dorma", on that song Marc is way better. Adam seems to be weak on lower tones, which is probably his weakness. Not sure what do you mean with "who is who". They are both amazing singers. Just it seems to me that while Marc Martel sounds better on lower notes, he sounds like he struggles on high notes, with less power compared to both Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert.
@@papabearM3 ancora con questa storia che non va oltre il E5 con i Queen? Ma perché menti? Perché non dici che il A5 e Bb5 di Marc sono in falsetto e che ha problemi evidenti nell'andare oltre a Bb4, mentre l'E5 di Adam di cui parli è in voce mista, ben più difficile di un falsetto? 😂 per non parlare della cosa pessima che dici sulle dinamiche, ascoltati Believe, Sleepwalker al Glam Nation Tour, Aftermath nella versione acustica o Love Kills.
Eleirbag Irodapsar
Some are, but all are in the studio. Live? Only occasionally and NEVER with Maylor. Give me some examples from Adam’s Queen renditions. There is plenty of opportunities in Queen’s scores, but Adam doesn’t ever climb over E5. That is my argument. I don’t care if he sings in the 7th octave at home in the show, who ever hears him use it singing Queen? Marc belted to G5 in a downhere song, but no one is bothered to compare that.
Besides, high notes are not enough to be a great singer.
Adam is a high tenor with a short but bright modal range. Keep him in the upper 4th and lower 5th, and he is a god of acid. But ask him to go lower, he loses all resonance and, worst of all, proper intonation. Ask him to sing a cappella, and he can’t stay on key, Nessun Dorma is an example. What about dynamics? Does Adam know what it means to build a dynamic phrase: he starts belting from the get go and has nowhere to go, let the song develop. And his self-serving contrived mannerisms of a cheap reality show contestant, that desperate “Look what I can do!” just kills every f-ing song he touches.
High noted only matter when you don’t know how to identify other elements of singing technique. I am afraid, there is an entire generation that has been brainwashed by reality junk judges that a) hitting high notes and b) being original is all that matters to singing. Hence, came a Pleiade of musically ignorant but loud karaoke singers who waste the material on showing off their high notes. Shame.
Kolniður
Quali problemi evidenti? LOL
Il falsetto, o voce di testa, è un registro vocale legittimo e dovrebbe essere utilizzato tanto quanto gli altri registri per aggiungere dinamiche a una frase vocale. Non c'è assolutamente nulla di sbagliato nel cantare le note alte usando la voce di testa.
Possiamo finire questa conversazione quando Adam impara a usare la sua voce di testa. Ciao, tesoro!
Today I realized Adam would be the only one for Queen without Freddie even though Marc sounds Freddie or even more like Freddie. Adam is just a miracle.
Got to say, for me, Adam wins hands down. Which is not taking away from Marc - none of those songs are easy to sing - they're all built for a singer with a wide range (which Freddie Mercury obviously had). There's no doubt that Marc can sing, and he has nothing to be ashamed of. (I'm going to be kind and assume that awful shouted 'Another One Bites the Dust' was an aberration and he just wasn't well or something.)
But... I also think that when fronting Queen, there's more required than being a great singer. I think you need showmanship, and flamboyance - not trying to be Freddie, cos that can't be, but something of the same spirit. Adam has that in droves. Marc doesn't.
Adam Lambert. Great voice and great performer.
Ok... Some people try kill me...??
What kind of damn comparison is this for starters? , there has only been one Freddy Mercury, for eternity, finish.
Measuring the level of karaoke? 🤯 I find it ridiculous.
Probably there are lyrical issues that will be better to Lambert and others more raw to Martell ... But ENOUGH .... there are no better or worse, only "moments" .... Let's enjoy them, fuck. Point and end
Sorry, I disagree. Adam was much better, Marc sounds like he's straining 90% of the time, Adam has an ease with every song he sings and never sounds strained in any way. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just prefer Adam.
Nonsense! Marc is adding distortion. Distortion is NOT straining. Marc has been singing non-stop for the past 20+ years. Were he straining, he would have ended up with vocal nodules and lost his voice long time ago!
@@papabearM3 you are entitled to your opinion. 👍

LOL
@@papabearM3 Doesn't mean I agree with you. I'm just not arguing because it's pointless we both like different people and have our reasons. So thanks for your opinion but I still disagree.

What are you disagreeing about? Learn the difference between distortion and straining.
Marc Martel
I THINK YOU NEED to listen to more of ADAM LAMBERT. His voice and emotion are both beautiful and nobody, nobody comes close to his talent. ADAM LAMBERT is one of if not the top male vocalist today.

Enjoy!
@@papabearM3 ti stai trasformando in Slynnc Kitty.
Perché non posti i tentativi live di Martel quando prova a cantare Who Wants To Live Forever, in cui la sua voce si spezza ogni singola volta o quando spinge tantissimo in Another One Bites The Dust con risultati disastrosi? LOL
Kolniður
Perché non ci mostra alcuni momenti in cui Adam canta stonato? Ci sono molti tra cui scegliere!
@@papabearM3 In realtà dal punto di vista dell'intonazione sta migliorando molto ;) la voce di Marc continua a spezzarsi invece!
Kolniður
Dal punto di vista dell'intonazione sta migliorando molto perché stanno autotunando Adam iniziando con la Rhapsody Tour.
La voce di Marc si spezza solo quando Marc è molto malato. Basta. Adam semplicemente annulla i suoi concerti quando è malato.
Non dimenticare, Marc osa colpire le note alte. Adam non si preoccupa. Quanto spesso egli raggiunge la sua famosa B5? Una volta negli ultimi 10 anni? Degno di nota!
Marc Martel is a Freddie imitator. He should stick with singing karaoke. No voice can compare to Adam's. I'm going to trust Brian and Roger's opinion 9 years in.
Marc Martel is an accomplished musician just like Freddie was. He is a sound-a-like and cannot sound unlike Freddie. He always got comparisons even when he was in his band Downhere. Adam cannot even read music.
And you are right, no one sounds like Adam. Thank God.
The fact that QAL have been able to sell out arenas all over the world since 2012 proves Brian and Roger knew what they were doing when they chose Adam. Besides his phenomenal talent, they share a mutual respect, admiration and chemistry which creates the magic they bring to the stage.
@@sasha07775
Q+ sells out arenas? The arena I attended was 2/3 full. And Martel sells arenas on his own merit: he doesn’t have a PR department to promote those tickets like Q+ does.
@@papabearM3 Yeah, ok. 😂 Martel doesn’t play in arenas. Last year QAL played in sold out stadiums. Please don’t even try to compare the two. Martel’s management bought over 100K FB likes in January. He also begs fans to view and like his videos. Next!
@@sasha07775
And what did Adam play all by himself? He barely sold anything. Certainly not arenas!
I Love Adam Lambert
I don't. He makes me feel sick.
@@jakotaki8219 you make me sick
@@jakotaki8219 Because of what? Because of his orientation? F**k you homophob!
Adam Lambert is pure PERFECTION!!! The SUPER STAR!!!
I completely agree with you. You made a great point. That the imperfections can give quality and uniqueness vs hitting every note like text book. That why IMO Marc Martel is better.
Brian and Roger think Adam is the perfect one to sing in Freddie’s place.
@@sasha07775
So, is he or is he not in Freddie’s place? Because you #LameBots can’t seem to make up your mind. Is he Freddie’s replacement or not? If he isn’t, then, how is he in Freddie’s place? And if he is, how could Maylor replace Freddie if they claim he is irreplaceable? Seriously! Get your shite straight, #LameBots!
Adam is truly amazing ..no doubt about it..love Adam ❤️
I think the best is Marc Martel. Every person can think differently, no problem!
I respect all opinions, but I don't want to be disrespected by me.
I've always tried to be a rightt (correcta) and educated person.
P. D. : Sorry for my bad English.
Brian and Roger do have a different opinion.
"I think he's the best singer around . I don't know anybody that could out sing Adam Lambert. I really don't." Roger Taylor.
Brian May about @adamlambert : "the voice is stupendous there is not another voice like that in this planet"

No one cares what they prefer. We all have our own preferences.
M3 m3 m3 No one cares what you prefer either.
slynnc kitty
But I am not the one who keeps reminding everyone about Maylor’s preferences.
M3 m3 m3 Did you not come here and add your unrequested 2 cents?
Two gifted singers, but if Adam is the frontman of Queen, it's because he's the real thing for the members of Queen.
That said, Adam is da king of stadium rock, or pop rock if you prefer.
For street level rock, talking bout every day life, talking of reality, I think he don't fit the part. For that, you need a non-trained singer, singing only with his guts.
Who said Laine Hardy? I agree
I'm listening to both, depending of my mood
Johnny Rocca Rolla
LOL Adam is not even a rock singer. Pop is his deal.
What would those two do If there was never a Freddie Mercury?
Marc probably would still be in his band Downhere. I don't know about Adam. Cruise ship?
@@babooshka7601 What would mm do without Freddie Mercury's songs and no make us a" Freddie Mercury" fans?
AL on a cruise ship? Never!!!! With all that paintings even John Silver wouldn' take him.

Marc would continue write and perform his own songs of which he has 100+!
