This is still mind blowing no matter how many times I watch it. That vibrato is killer ❤❤❤( You really nailed the explanation of Freddie live vs. studio recording... power vs dynamics. ) Marc is an extremely talented artist... it is not easy to sing at the same time as playing a piano. His ability to "sound like Freddie" has been fine tuned with alot of hardwork to get it just right but the physiological has to be in place. Doesn't it make you wonder if he has two extra molars?😉😂😂😂😂😂
Haha true! Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it :)
@Julie Keesee, Marc actually said in an interview, the only thing he does to sound more like Freddie is add a bit of a British accent to match Freddie's. Everything else is natural.
@@CalebColesMusic Marc Martel did a video called "How To Sing Like Freddie Mercury". In the video he does say that his sounding like Freddie has a lot to do with genetics. You can also tell that Marc has done a lot of research on how Freddie sounded when he first started and how he evolved and changed. I was surprised how much of the stuff you said, Marc also said in his video and he's not a voice coach nor has he ever taken lessons. Here is a link to the video if you are interested. czcams.com/video/GQ0H7tZ_tZs/video.html
this best reaction video for Marc so far.
He’s amazing live in concert! I felt fortunate to be able to see him ❤️ I even got to meet him... I told him if his wife and him ever want a sister wife I’m available 😂 he actually called me out during the concert! So great! You should do him singing Who wants to live forever next! Or Killer Queen!
I have a feeling that Freddie Mercury is proud that people still listen to their music 🎶 😭
Amazing that he not only can sing like him but he looks very similar as well. How amazing you almost can't tell the difference.
That has something to do with how he sounds though. His similar skull shape is likely what results in such an uncanny likeness in the voice
I saw this a while ago and was blown away! As a 70ies child I knew Freddie alive. That was so awesome and fun to see. If you close your eyes it is nearly impossible to hear the difference to the original.
So true!
I got total chills and goosebumps!! I am a huge Freddie Mercury fan, and Marc simply nails it to perfection!! All I can say is WOWWWWWW!!!
Such an awesome, talented guy! 🌹
This is amazing. I saw it at the beginning of the year, and I was really glad to see that they used Mark in Bohemian Rhapsody, the movie, with a blend of Freddie’s vocals. It’s just amazing.
Yeah I heard they used him in the movie. It is hard to know when it was Marc or Freddie!
@@CalebColesMusic, I believe it was both, most of the time, although Marc did do some by himself. Ask yourself how many reel to reel magnetic master tapes will be suitable for Dolby Atmos Surround Sound, which is what the movie uses. Now, add 35 years to the age of those master tapes. I've heard it was vocal layering, where they used Marc singing along with Freddie, then blended the tracks, to improve the quality for the songs they used in the movie.
This was perfect . The only thing missing was the half full beer cups on the piano.
True! Haha.
stefan ratkiewicz it’s not beer. It’s water and honey to sooth his throat
Half cups of beer AND PEPSI!!! 😄😄🥰
So now you have to watch the others.. Love of my life and Who wants to live forever
Marc is great!
WOW ! What an EXCELLENT reaction vid to Marc's Bohemian Rhapsody ! Simply the best !
Thanks!
Marc's piano is an extension of his hands. He is a gift from god.💯🤘🤘
Self taught too.. both voice and instruments.
Incredible. Such natural musicality.
Tyson Gates
Bot instruments. Marc is a classically trained pianist.
@@papabearM3 Learned piano from his Mom who played in the church. The rest is open for debate
The point made at 3:30 is so important... Because I fully realize the work, skill and effort behind Marc's sound, but he do have the genetic disposition to sound like this and that is important. No matter how skilled trumpet player you are you cannot make a trumpet sound like a saxophone - the instruments are shaped differently and that gives them their different sounds. Same thing with voices... Marc's "instrument" - his resonance, jaw line, ect is similar to Freddie's, and you can even see that visually, and that gave him the capacity to sound like this (with training and effort)
Mindblowing for real
Great reaction appreciation of his talents. I think he's brilliant... Just can't get enough LOL! I've watched everything I can find out there on him and yet I'm still blown away! Bought his Christmas collection album It's really great.
I'll have to check it out!
First, I have to say that in certain points I couldn't hold a few tears, remembering Freddie. He sounds so much like him. Thanks a lot Caleb for introducing Marc Martel; I will definitely follow him. Besides, don't think that I missed Jeff Buckley on Marc's wall ;)
Yeah I saw that too! Looks like he has great taste in music. 😊
Then you need to check out his cover version of Jeff Buckleys "Hallelujah"
He sounds amazing like Freddie!
What you are watching is a musical unicorn. The performance of Bohemian Rhapsody sung as a solo by Freddie (on piano) does not exist. The song was written piecemeal and came together in the recording studio. I saw Queen perform on the Day at the Races Tour and Freddie started the song on the piano and by the time the 'opera' section begins the band had left the stage and it was tracked to a video. They returned to the stage for the 'rock' section and finale. What Marc has accomplished is stunning! Its a beautiful tribute to Freddie and Queen but also a staggering performance of voice and piano skills. The performance is very much a copy of the album version and yes, Freddie did not perform with those dynamics for many reasons. If Freddie was one of the great voices of rock...well it means that Marc is as well. He is a gifted singer/songwriter and hopefully he will get his time in the spotlight. Queen should have learned a lesson from Journey and hired Marc to front the band. Please review some of his other performances. Lastly, Marc does not pay me to make comments!!! :)
Thanks, I'll check more out!
Sooo awesome!! Thanks a lot to introducing me to Marc!! He is insanly good... Wish u a happy new year Caleb, greets from Austria
Hallo! 😊 Bin auch aus Österreich 😄Gutes Neues! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy new year!
That's one cool video, Caleb.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed ut!
Just found your channel and this was the first reaction of yours I saw, really enjoyed your positive energy and also really great commentary. As a non-singer it's very fun to learn the technical details. New sub for sure! I'm such a fan of Marc Martel too, he's just unbelievable. That piano playing too on top of it all blows my mind too and I'm glad you touched on that. Awesome stuff.
You should also watch his Killer Queen sitting at the piano like this. it is mind blowing.
I'll check it out :)
carinaejag KQ is my fave! It’s just so darn FUN! And hot! 🔥🔥
And whistling like a Disney princess
Queen Celebration Live charming, so charming.
Marc could stand still on a scene and it would still be fab.
5:37...."He sounded a little bit more "straight" when he sang live"...😂😂
Haha! Didn't mean it like that 😉
@@CalebColesMusic ....I know brother....It was just a perfect comment by yourself...Great channel my friend...I truly look forward to your uploaded content....Great work...I hope you go far in life...
Super! He did well.
I just recently discovered your channel and i subscribed right away because i love your intelligent and honest commentaries plus you're such a humble soul to recognize the huge talent of other artists. Btw, you are a great singer yourself as well. I love your voice, range and musicality. 🙂
Marc is incredible. Nice reaction, dude.
You gotta hear this guy's whistling too. It's almost more impressive than his ridiculously good voice.
Thanks. Haha! I gotta see this world class whistling :)
@@CalebColesMusic Killer Queen
Sii, es muuuy talentoso. Super profesional. Impresiona por momentos el parecido a Freddy.
Pero aporta lo suyo y eso es genial.
Saludos Bro. Desde Arg.
Me encantaria conocer Australia.
Wonderful reaction. Thank you Caleb for reacting to Marc. Great to hear someone who knows music reacting to what we all know Marc can do. subscribed
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Also feel free to suggest any other things from Marc that are good to react to :)
@@CalebColesMusic Cheers, Caleb. In terms of what Marc can do with his voice even if you don't react to them I think you would really appreciate his Unchained Melody or Everybody Hurts. One of the most challenging vocally that I love is his i Will Always Love You. They are all on his channel along with other amazing performances too many to list LOL
Great, so close to Freddie, eyes closed, I not sure, I could tell them apart!
He is so accurate isn't he?
@@CalebColesMusic A quote from film producer of Bohemian Rhapsody, Graham King..."Most singing scenes in the movie rely on either vocal stems from Queen master tapes or new recordings by Marc Martel, a Canadian Christian rock singer whose voice is practically identical to the late frontman's. "Literally, you could close your eyes and it's Freddie," says King. "And that's a very tough thing to do."
Я фанатка Фредди, я обожаю Марка, моя наверное несбыточная мечта, это побывать на концерте Марка, это реинкарнация 100%,Фредди жив вечно! Привет из Москвы! Была бы рада приглашению на концерт, кто ближе к Марку!
Hopefully Marc comes to Russia soon! There is a possibility, as he has a tour in Eastern Europe in June 2022. 7 dates in Ukraine, one in Belarus, and one in Czechia. Tour Part 2 dates to be determined. Keep a close eye on his tour schedule on his website.
listening to how everyone (vocal coach, composer, certain music genre fans, etc) react to marc martel, it make me realize that it takes more than just a talent. Marc's probably spend many hours practicing this stuff, hence his perfomance is amazing.
Strangly enough, Marc had people asking him if anybody had ever told him he sounded like Freddie long before he new who Freddie and Queen were.
The inflections and vibrato are practiced, but the voice and tone are all Marc.
He has said Canadians are often natural mimics. 🙂
I’ve seen about a dozen reactions to Bohemian Rhapsody by Marc Martel and I have to say your is my favorite by now. In an interview Rami Malek commented that Marc worked with them for the movie, I think he sing as Freddy on the life concert scenes. Also, he cannot reach Roger Taylor’s high pitch.... but it would sound weird if he wouldn’t sing those parts..... good job.
You are right. Marc did sing in the biopic. Rami didn't though. Not really. Marc recorded for the movie at the Abbey Road Studio. Marc sometimes does sing the Bb5 in the operatic section of BoRhap, the pitch Roger usually sang. Also, Marc tours with his Queen tribute band singing Queen's catalogue, but he doesn't sing "as Freddie." He doesn't pretend to be him. His voice naturally sounds like Freddie's.
Merry Christmas Caleb! Hope you had some lovely time with your loved ones. I’m major Queen fan too and it’s been a while since I’ve watched this performance. Phenomenal and so entertaining, as was your reaction! And your explanation about the difference in Freddie’s live vs studio vocals was very enlightening! Thanks, I really enjoyed it!
Appreciate it! Merry Christmas to you also :)
Amo questo uomo
Voce meravigliosa è surreale
Unico ❤
i love this man. wonderful voice is surreal. Single ❤
Wonderful reaction video! You have an awesome singing voice and I feel as if I learned several new things from watching you. Have you heard his former band Downhere? Marc wrote some beautiful and inspiring music with them before they split up. Look up Forgive Yourself and Let Me Rediscover You when you get a chance. I see someone already recommended his Christmas tune How Many Kings, which is one of my favorites 😊
Thanks, I haven't heard his former band. I'll look them up. Appreciate it!
Forgive Yourself link to the lyric video. This song was never as well known as others on this album but it was probably my favorite. czcams.com/video/Yb3AQHTOZUo/video.html
What a man, cool review aswell man!
He looks like Freddie too, that Jaw and overbite. There's a theory that he's Freddie's illigitimate son. His mother saw Queen in tour
I believe that Marc Martel does a phenomenal job he can also play with he also does the other members of queen singing great
You should react to his Mercurotti video he does both parts Pavarotti and Freddy. It is awesome.
I second that!
It is a stunning performance by Marc of Nessun Dorma.
Mercury and Pavarotti never actually collaborated together.
But you would be forgiven for thinking they had after watching Marcs interpretation of how it may have gone down.
A gift for you Caleb, I'm not sure how to send this to you but if you'll look at "How Many Kings" the 2009 Centricity version by Downhere (yes, one word) your heart will be even fuller. This was recorded around the time I met Marc and his band at a confirmation camp my daughter was attending. Tears buddy, big ol ugly ones! But my heart was full!!
I'll watch it and let you know when I have. Your recommendation is a big reason I reacted to this! Happy new year :) God bless.
@@CalebColesMusic Happy New Year and may you and yours be evermore blessed by His love in your sharing!
Nova Tropeano he recently toured with Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant. Here’s a fabulous live rendition of How Many Kings from the tour: czcams.com/video/0aLgqWgd-uI/video.html
Merry Christmas to you C and your family. Great reax. I saw the comparison between Marc and Adam too.
And to you and your family also 😊Both Marc and Adam are great singers.
I think the only reason why he isn't touring with Queen is because he reminds them of Freddie too much.
He is not touring with Queen because:
1. Smile is not Queen
2. May can't fathom performing in a shadow of another Freddie-like force of nature.
3. Queen Prods have contractual obligations to Adam.
@@papabearM3 - May has a tremendous ego. Taylor's is only slightly smaller...maybe. John had very little ego and knew Queen ended with Freddie. Good for him. Respect.
So idk if you figured it out yet or not.... Marc was hand picked by Queen's Roger Taylor to sing IN the Bohemian Rhapsody AND the Official Tribute band because he sounded just like Freddie
Marc smokes Adam. He is soooo much better than Lambert.
@@daduck87 well yeah but it's one thing to pick someone to imitate him in a movie, and it's another thing to go on tour with him
...he got all of that right..AND he is playing piano!!! Whatt,!?
Marc's wife put him up to this, and then submitted it to Queen. He did the vocals in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, and then did a Queen celebration before he established his on band OVOQ.
This was super educational. Subbed.
Caleb I love your insights to music. I think it would be awesome if you did one of my favorite Queen songs "Who wants to live forever". I want to thank you for getting me hooked on the amazing Jeff Buckley after mentioning him in Dimash's song SOS. By the way it looks like Marc has a photo or maybe album cover of Jeff Buckley on his wall. God bless you
Some really insightful analysis Caleb. You mention Freddie singing live with more power and less dynamics and I’d agree. Not sure if you’ve seen Freddie sing “you take my breath away” at Hyde park. It’s early queen and a really dynamic performance with both falsetto and vibrato. Would be really cool to see you break it down.
Great reaction. Greetings from Germany
I'd love to be his neighbor OMG!!!
No slouch on the keys, either!
fun fact: marc actually never took singing lessons
He's the long lost sun of Freddy Mercury. Even has the buck tooth.
Le me :"he liked all comments"
LE VOICE FROM SKY:"EVERYONE LIKED IT"
Un frances, súper !!
Quebecois : )
QUEEN-Легенда
This dude's head be like ➡️↪↩↩↕️↔️➡️⤴️⬆️➡️⤴️↪↩↕️➡️➡️
Actually.... you nailed it too.
On another note, I have a recommendation for some killer vibrato that is hard to replicate.... watch the TNT BOYS perform on Your Face Sounds Familiar as the Bee Gees with "Too Much Heaven" ❤
Really well broken down my bro
Nice; he resembles Freddy a bit doesn't he. Wondering if you can react to Jam Hsiao singing a duet with a student ( Xiao Yi Hang) "Always on my mind" . ( Duets in China)This singer performed with his band Lion in 2017 on the Singer in China together with Dimash. Thank you.
marc martel is freddies alt account
Your speaking voice reminds me of Bon Scott except a little lower in pitch.
Well you just earned yourself another subscriber

Hi brother please make a reaction Video at Francis Magalona's Peace on Earth
Thank you so much
Check out Marc's Who wants to live forever. I think its slightly better than this one.
Do you think Freddie would have liked/appreciated the Angelina version of Rhapsody?
and now react Adam Lambert singing Queen songs 😂

Morten's voice is so beautiful, and he's barely aged at all.
Its funny I always thought the line was Mitch Miller not Miss Miller.
uh oh i found marcs brother
Grande Gelly Clash
isnt your chair a lil bit low? I mean your right hand and elbow is suspended.... About the video, the only thing I can say about its that I was hoping him to reach the high note at 9:37, everything else is perfect :D
Freddie didn't sing the high note . Roger did.
Почему нельзя просто смотреть и улыбаться ? почему нужно прерывать видео каждые пять секунд что бы вставить своё "очень важное и интересное мнение" ?
we can do without your singing, leave it to marc.
hedunlap
Mind your manners, bro! Caleb is a very good singer! So is Marc.
M3 m3 m3 blow me
hedunlap
Flattered, but must decline!
So are u saying he is equal to freddy?? No difference? He doesnt sound exactly like freddy to me.
Maureen yes, he doesn’t sound EXACTLY like Freddie and it’s because Marc doesn’t want to. He’s stated many times that if he wanted to sound EXACTLY like Freddie he would but he wants to keep his own identity because he’s been compared to Freddie since 2000. He completely lost his career to Freddie but has now done the only thing he knows how to do and is doing it to the best that people want to hear while keeping himself in the video as well. You should watch his performances from his Germany tour from the past 2 weeks. Trust me it’ll shock you just as much as it’s shocked a lot of Marc fans who follow his tour videos.
Technically speaking, Marc is a better singer and instrumentalist than Freddie ever was. However, both are spectacular in their own right. Both are gifted beyond gifted. And, no, Marc doesn't sound exactly like Freddie because he is not trying to imitate him. He did it in the biopic, just for the sake of the premise. They are sound-a-likes, their vocal tone is similar.
I just don't understand how all these singers, songwriters, vocal coach & teachers, are not embarrassed at all, to always react , or judge, an artist, nearly 45 years, mostly, not to say always, on his covers ( imitations ?? ) of another artist.......⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
Alex Home
These ate not imitations since Marc naturally sounds the way he sounds. However, why should people be embarrassed to react to someone’s amazing cover/tribute?
You talk too much.
Adam Lambert is so much better. Queen knew exactly what they were doing when they chose him and not the imitator.
In your dreams, kitty!
Grow up,Kitty
Stanislav Koprivnik A “grow up” person wouldn’t comment on a thread that has been dead for 2 months.🤦🏻♀️
@Jeanette Kejling
Oh, he most certainly did. _Girl In The World_ was written in 2015. And he is writing a new album as we speak! Hard to focus on writing when you tour at Marc’s pace! 130 concerts per year is 4x as many as Q+ did last tear. Plus, ask Brian May. He himself claims that he can’t write while touring! And we all know that Lambert’s material is written for him while he is asleep, by shadow writers!
@Jeanette Kejling
What does that matter? The FACT is that Marc HAS written songs since his last album and continues to write. His new album is due next year. Don’t get your knickers in a twist, darling!
