    Before I began performing the music of Queen in 2012 - incredibly - I had never heard this song. After a few shows with the Queen Extravaganza, though, and absorbing the song’s cadence, it quickly became one of my favorites to perform - not only because of its breathtaking classical intricacy, but also for the way it arrests the audience’s attention every. single. time. in a way that no other Queen song seems to do. The song recently took on new meaning for me when someone (and I regrettably forget who) told me that Fred wrote it from the perspective of Mary Austin, as an empathetic love letter, fully aware of the toll their relationship had on her. I don’t know if that’s true, but it makes the lyric so much heavier for me.
    When I picture the quintessential “young Freddie,” this is the voice I hear in my head. The fragility and vulnerability he displayed in the original recording of “Love Of My Life” is astounding. He was truly fearless in displaying his feminine side, which is maybe the most important thing I learned from him as a singer. As a musical product of early 90s grunge, I came up with the impression that masculinity must always sound deep and guttural, something my vocal cords never allowed me to do very convincingly. I cringe a bit when I listen to my early recordings! I was always a little shy about the fact that I could sing very softly and breathy - almost like a girl. I guess you could say Freddie gave me permission to let that side of my voice out into the open, and to embrace it.
    I always dedicate this one to his memory because it feels like the appropriate thing to do. It always seems like the perfect moment in a set list of bombastic anthems to pause, and truly take into account the singular talent that was Freddie Mercury.
    (S/O to Brandon Ethridge for the inspiration behind incorporating the guitar parts into the piano arrangement. Brilliant! Check out his hilarious music-geek CZcams series "WHERE'S THE F-ing BEAT?!?")

      This is his natural voice😊 Even before he knows who Freddie Mercury was, people would tell him that his voice sounded like Freddie's. Amazing right? He's not trying to imitate him, he's just now a huge fan of Queen who enjoys singing Queen's music. I went to the tribute concert a couple of days ago and he was such a humble person enjoying Queen's music with all of us. He told us "that's what's music is all about" (enjoying). It was awesome!!!

AND, he looks like Freddie, too!! he just doesn't seem to play it up! ANd I JUST LEARNED about this man, yesterday, as a Local Radio Station was playing Christmas Music, and I kept hearing what I thought was Freddie, singing Christmas music! When I did some searching online, Googling, I found MARC Martel!!! He is a Christian Artist, and he has made a fantastic Christmas Song ALBUM!!! So if you all want to get a taste of what your favorite Christmas Carols and Songs of all-time, would have sounded, if Freddie Mercury made a Christmas Album, you are in for a treat on You Tube!!! I am so blown away by this guy, God bless him!!!!!

    fun fact for those of you who dont know : they actually mixed a lot of marc’s vocals into the Bohemian Rhapsody film when rami had to do the live performances. queen doesnt overlook marc. in fact there was an interview that brian and roger did praising him about how thankful they were that he was able to do the film and contribute his vocals and how they “just can’t not use marc martel”. i feel the only reason why he isnt used in queen as the lead vocalist is because he sounds almost exactly like freddie, which isnt a bad thing at all. but i think it’d be too much of a shock to the bandmates while performing and even the crowd. trust me, if i went to a queen concert and marc was singing id lose my marbles.

    • @ironic-official4953
      @ironic-official4953 Před 4 lety +91

      I respect your opinion but there's more than that. First off, Brian May loves Adam like his own child. Lambert was already chosen before Marc joined Queen Extravaganza(tribute band of Queen formed by Roger Taylor). Also at the beginning of Queen Extravaganza, Brian and Roger didn't even knew thar Marc can handle the entire show alone. There were 3 to 4 singers at the beginning. And when they realized that, I guess it was already 2016. They probably weren't aware that Martel has won 2 Canadian Grammy awards and 5 Junos awards. And now today, Queen has been touring with Lambert for like 8 years now and they dont want to tour with anyone else. But common, Marc deserves to sing with Queen at least once. He has worked his ass off carrying the legacy of Queen music and spreading it to the young ones out there. As you said, he even provide some vocals for the movie.

      I'd rather see a Queen concert with Adam than Marc. Here's why
      First of all, you are right. Marc Sang once with Brian and Rog and they were left in shock.
      But the special thing Adam has is:
      His own style. If they got Marc into a tour, it would be sort of "replacing" Freddie with a "copy". Marc has worked a lot to keep Queen Alive and that is awesome. He bought tears to my eyes in every Queen video.

Queen has said they will never perform with anyone that sounds like Freddie Mercury, as they would not be able to subject themselves to hours of emotional pain. However, Queen Extravaganza is no longer touring. They stopped in 2016. Marc now performs with another tribute band called The Ultimate Queen Celebration. They are currently touring the US. theultimatequeencelebration.com/shows Marc also contributed a few vocal recordings to the Queen Biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", but to what extent is unknown.
