This is 100% Marc's natural voice, so this time any similarity to Freddie is purely coincidental (and totally real). In other words, he is not trying to sound like Freddie, the voice is what it is.
People should stop mentioning Freddie everytime they're talking about Marc's voice. Just appreciate his talent and his voice. He's not the second Freddie but he's the first Marc Martel.
@@ialwi4262 nah fr, those chords are hella creative and not at all normal. Like really. Most of the time u can see/hear someone play something and play the same thing from what they’re playing, here what he’s playing is weird and new and I couldn’t do that. It’s actually quite nice I wanna try and figure it out for myself coz it sounds really good, but depends how lazy I am haha
I meet Marc Martel 9 years ago and he was talking to me to till 20 minutes. He was amazing to me and his beautiful blue eyes of his own perfect ocean waves in his eyes. I love Marc Martel so damn much and I won't forget the way I met him and DownHere too.It was a blessing for me.
As I said once before, I hope people remember and love you not only because your similarities with Freddie, but because you're amazing no matter what you're singing!
If you just close your eyes you can hear Freddie covering the Goo Goo Dolls for brief moments, but hear most of Marc and his lovely voice. The fact that he does sound like Freddie is purely coincidental and in this video it’s evident that he doesn’t push for it. That’s really his voice . It makes me smile a bit! ❤️
I was really curious to see what he sounds like on a non-Queen cover. And here he is, he is not imitating Freddie, his voice naturally just sounds like him. Amazing. The hard work he has put behind his singing skills pays off, and people tend to like him 'cause he reminds them a legendary artist. And it's hard to believe that 22 years ago he sounded almost as good as he does now!!! God bless him.
1998 isn't when this was recorded, that's just the year the original song is from. Same goes for the 7 or 8 videos before this one with 1990s dates in the title.
The first album he recorded was with his band Downhere in 2001. Marc has said in interviews he more fully discovered his own voice by their third album, which was Wide-Eyed and Mystified, recorded in 2006. He sounds very similar here, but he's also getting better and better, imo. I think of his latest Christmas recordings: Stevie Wonder's What Christmas Means to Me and The Grinch...so much variety! @@executor32
@@artfulstoriesFirst album was in 1999! The second album, "So Much For Substitutes" was released in 2003, and you can already hear some similarities to Freddie in Marc's voice. By the third album, you can hear more Queen influences (stacked vocals and tighter harmonies) in the overall tracks.
Goo Goo Dolls have been my favorite band since I was 5 years old, honestly didn't think I'd appreciate a cover by anyone, but that was just beautiful. Thank you.
Sitting here..Goo Goo Dolls Iris cover.. pops random feed...10 sec in.. this guy sounds hauntingly like Freddie Mercury.. like a surreal dream.. so I say to myself.. am I going crazy.. let's scroll down to the comments.. ok I am not going crazy.. Great cover! Wonderful voice! Keep singing songs and playing music. It was beautiful.
Marc, step way this tunnel of time gifts of your performance. Thank's man. Today was not a great day for me, but now, i have listen this song and all are great again. Hugs.
Qanissa Aghara have you bought his music yet? Show him love in a practical way. :) Available on all major music platforms. His Impersonator album is incredible!
Ugh he’s using his natural voice in this cover which sounds absolutely amazing, I wish people would stop comparing him to Freddie on every single cover
_Esmeralda_ sadly there will always be a comparison because their voices are that similar. Plus most of the people here for his music and covers are here because of the similarities
You are a perfect singer. Your voice is incredible and you don't have to hide behind another singer or band . You are a professional singer and you are complete. Sing your own songs like a professional singer. Congratulations, because you have a natural gift, your wonderful voice !! Once again, congratulations, from Brazil (Brazil) !! ...
I know this guy is not trying to sound like Freddie. But I can so imagine Freddie singing this song this good like him. I bow to you sir. Awesome cover🤘🏽
Literally spent an hour listening to you on repeat then this song popped up in recommend so i seached for covers and guess who popped up... Your voice is so powerful i love it
Something strange, but i don't know why ur videos aren't with millions views, u have such a great voice, i´m not an expert, but i really enjoy to listen tu u. Saludos de México!
Yes this is amazing, but don’t forget that goo goo dolls sing this in pretty much the same vocal pitch. Which I could never do !! You can’t overrate that incredible band and songwriting

You're the closest to Freddie that we'll ever hear and I don't want to go home right now.
I see what you did there.
@@ThatllShowEm Guilty as charged.
Life aint fair!!!
😂amazing!
LOL. You clever bastard.
No fancy backing instruments, just the raw beauty of an amazing voice and well played guitar

Some people are really dumb, apparently.
exactly
EXACTLY!
In this 90's covers I can't hear that "Freddie sound" that everyone says
@@AndresRodriguez-de3tg it's okay, it's not your fault...
Extra points for singing the guitar solo!
Amazing the "guitar solo!"
Except he didn't sing the whole thing, that disappointed me, lol.
@@robshred66 because that is just energy wasted. The solo is great but it was long so singing the full solo is pointless
Tim would be proud!
That voice is a gift from God.
BDazzled Designs is aids a gift from god too

Gives kids cancers, but thank fuck he let this bloke have some pipes.
God doesn’t give people diseases. God Bless 💕
Ur voice too

Just appreciate his talent and his voice.
He's not the second Freddie but he's the first Marc Martel.
A rare footage of Freddie Mercury covering Iris by GooGoo dolls.
😅😅😅
So true
Lol
Hahahaha nailed it
Damn 😢
I've heard this song like a milion times, but after watching this video it's the first time I think I undestood it
Marc's pronunciation is a beautiful as his tone.
Its Goo Goo Dolls and suddenly at the chorus its like he channeled Freddie Mercury!
No channeling necessary, it is his natural voice.
It's so fucking amazing.
Let's give him credit for his natural voice and how incredible it is. He is a great talent and I wish him much success.
Is it normal that I just cried hearing this... It was so beautiful, I have never felt so delightful by hearing a cover.
Totally normal. 🥹
Also, his guitar playing is 100%
if u say so

@@ThatllShowEm hmm, very true. Was it 1999 when he recorded the one with the Slyngshot Records label?
@@artfulstories Yes, the 1999 album was basically their "Senior project" and the 2001 re-recording was released through Word Records.
Brilliant cover - beautiful guitar and vocals. Love it!
I NEED THIS COVER IN SPOTIFY. Pls🥺🥺
I can’t stop listening to this song
Holy mother this is ridiculously awesome

Marc Martel Number 1 Fan here from Philippines!!
Been listening to this for 20-30 times. Beautiful performance.
Awesome job Marc!!
Yes I believe this guy is not trying to sound like Freddie,, what a great voice u have, blessed for sure

If you've heard him often, surely know that this is Marc original sound.
Compared to anyone, You are AMAZING in your own way Marc! God Bless
Fya Akhmad
Marc always sings in his own way.
M3 m3 m3 Yes...you're absolutely right !
I love this cover. Amazing.
Jesus this dude can do anything. You look like Freddie, sound like Freddie, especially when you said YEAHHH. You play guitar and piano like a boss!
Absolutely stunning voice Marc, absolutely incredible ❤💕
Better than anything in popular music today! So very talented!
Absolutely love your voice! A gift from GOD.
Amazing ur so talented
Man, im like marathoning over your covers and i just cannot stop man this is insane. Why didn't i discover you earlier??!!!???!
why hasn't the world? Answer: He has true talent, and makes the current crop of media created stars look like the amateurs they are.
He's also been in a band called DownHere and they had several songs that were played quite a bit on Christian radio.
Qanissa Aghara have you bought his music yet? Show him love in a practical way. :) Available on all major music platforms. His Impersonator album is incredible!
Marc is a one of a kind talent. Voice, guitar, piano, voice... Did I mention voice?
Same...same!
Awesome guitar playing and vocals! 👏
You do have the voice of an angel. Love all your music.

Yah, he's an amazingly talented singer and it would suck for him to just go down at the "guy that sounds like Freddy Mercury."
@@wiskyr6510 It's FREDDIE!
@@kirakira9906 I really don't care

I know you sound just like Freddie but when I watch videos like this I don’t hear Freddie, I hear Marc.
He is Marc but with Freddie's voice nonetheless.
I know this guy is not trying to sound like Freddie. But I can so imagine Freddie singing this song this good like him. I bow to you sir. Awesome cover🤘🏽
Sounds like Freddie Mercury doing Goo Goo Dolls
Holy shit!
Sings it better!
I thought the same thing! lmao
Marc Martel is a Freddie impersonator, check his "Don't Stop Me Now" videoclip
TheFilyng
He's not impersonating anyone in this though. It's just his voice.
I really don't know how many times i've watched this cover by marc martel. So fascinating. I just love his voice. Nothing to say.
Finally Iris Freddie Mercury Version 🤘no It's Marc Martel Version. This is my favorite song ❤️
Best guitar arrangement of this song. Great version
AMAZING
Such a powerful voice 😍
Thank you❗️
Freddie Mercury to Marc :
" I love your voice, darling..." ❤️
Man oh man Marc. You are CERTAINLY gifted! Can’t wait to sing with you in Heaven one day!! It’s gonna be amazing!!
Wow amazing amazing Voice..
Just discovered this 90's series - loving it!!
By far the best cover of Iris I've seen. Thank you Marc!
Holy shit that was beautiful man....
I came here looking for this particular cover, and ended hearing all of his CZcams videos. Now i'm fascinated by him and his voice 😍
So love marc singing comes naturally to him......he can sing any song and its sounds great.........love u loads marc❤❤❤
Literally spent an hour listening to you on repeat then this song popped up in recommend so i seached for covers and guess who popped up... Your voice is so powerful i love it
Great job Marc. You absolutely nailed it. This is a great song.
I'm convinced that Marc doesn't have a voice box, he just has a tape recorder he can play playbacks of any artist. What a voice.
Awesome job! Marvelous!!!
Something strange, but i don't know why ur videos aren't with millions views, u have such a great voice, i´m not an expert, but i really enjoy to listen tu u. Saludos de México!
i'm just thinking that too. saludos desde mexico también jeje.
Most expert recognize him now
Saludos de Brasil
Lmao take a closer look now
Marc is the best vocalist on the planet right now.
Marc Martel you deserve your place in Queen
Ay como chingan con eso
Marc’s guitar skills are drastically underrated. So much talent in one human
his guitar skills are pretty good. id say his singing is much more worth praising
So good
You can sing Opera . You can sing Queen . And now you sing Iris better than the original one.
I have no more words.
Gabriel Mendes did you call me?
LOOOOOOOOOL
Gabriel Mendes Hahahahahahahhah
Yes this is amazing, but don’t forget that goo goo dolls sing this in pretty much the same vocal pitch. Which I could never do !!
You can’t overrate that incredible band and songwriting
Never compare some cover to the original song
Marc, I just wanna say.. your voice gets me through this Corona Virus Pandemic Self Quarantine thing..
I love this
Great performance. Not only great singing, also very good guitar playing. Beautiful song!
It is actually ridiculous how good his voice is
Best cover on youtube
Goosebumps!! F$#%ing brilliant.
