Marc did some of the vocals for the movie
Yes he did!!
I’ve been a fan of Marc’s for a long time!
Me too! Since his Downhere days in fact. ❤
There is a video compilation of Marc sounding like other singers. Also, some of his non Queen, 90 music covers really show off his talent for voice impressionism. Then he has his own music that is absolutely amazing. I love his Impersonator album, more specifically, the song The Remake. There is one note that he holds for an incredibly long time.
here for the Marc Martel appreciation!
6:02 - If you listen to some of Marc's OLD songs with his Christian rock band (called "downhere"), you'll notice Marc isn't doing anything with his voice to sound like Freddie. Even in this video, he's not trying to sing "in the style of" Freddie, but is doing his own version. As he's mentioned in interviews, all he does is add "a bit" of a British accent, when singing Queen songs, to sound more like Freddie's accent. Roger Taylor called Marc's voice "spine-chillingly identical" to Freddie's, and I'm certainly not going to be the one to argue with him. 😄
Marc Martell is the best vocal impersonator of Freddie Mercury in the world.
Sound-a-like
@@papabearM3terrifyingly his face and jaw line is kinda look Freddie. The difference is just Freddie was skinny and Marc is kinda bulk up.
Except hes not an impersonator.. He just happens to have a similar voice. In his previous band someone said he sounded like Freddy Mercury.. And the rest is history
Marc sounds more like Freddy than anyone else on the planet. He is stunningly good at doing so. I think that Marc's non Queen performances are unfortunately overlooked. I would recommend ~ Marc Martel - Unchained Melody (Official Music Video) ~ czcams.com/video/0gEml07j9bA/video.html One of the best versions I have ever heard.!
Check him out singing “I will always love you”. Whitney Houston style.
i think i would ONLY realize that it isnt freddie because of the not old sounding mic :D
I simply couldn't sleep the night I heard this masterpiece for the first time. The best cover in the history of YT. Nothing beats that.
Ele tem uma linda voz 👏👏👏👏👏☺️🥰🇧🇷
Freddie Mercury was an extraordinary musician and showman. Marc is right up there with him regarding musicianship. Both had/have a level of versatility that make for a truly great listening experience. I love the way that both singers would bend notes at the rght time and use the right amount of vibrato.
While my singing is comparable to a cow lowing in a field, I do have a good ear for music. I exclusively play the soprano saxophone. I was thinking that much of what you were talking about in this video also pertains to the type of sound I get when practicing my soprano sax. I spoke of vibrato above. It took me a long time to perfect my vibrato on the sax. It also took a long time to get my growling to sound half-way decent.
7:14 Now Nick, no need to be a “kids these days kinda guy” 😉. That being said, I’m convinced part of Marc’s ability to sound like Freddie are their similarly shaped faces. They both have cross bites, lantern jaws, aqua line noses…
*aquiline 😉
Why do reactors stop the video before or not react to Marc putting up both arms victoriously? He was happy that he did an outstanding job without messing up...lol.
Your detailed enthusiastic review of Marc’s singing is enjoyable! Yes, impersonating is not what Marc does, as he was told he sounded like Freddie before he knew who he was. His diction is impeccable!
Goosebumps in every second of this video! I love Freddy, and when I saw the Marc Martel's videos I was shocked with his voice. As you said, if we close our eyes we can not tell the difference. Amazing!
I was introduced to Marc at a Christian music festival in 2011 in the middle of nowhere South Dakota with his band (name escapes me) and turned to my best friend and asked “…how did Freddie get reincarnated as a Christian artist…”
Downhere was the name of his band. 😊
@@artfulstories Thank you, my gut said it started with Down! They really were my sleeper hit all those years ago, and then YT helped him catapult even further in music terms ❤️
@@JonnySV oh yes! This week he has two shows with the world renown Boston Pops Orchestra!
If you have not thought of Queen as a rock band, your definition of Rock may be a tad bit narrow...Also, I would be intrested in your opinion of Martels version of Halleluljah, or other non-freddie covers to show the extent of his vocals....
Marc, along with Tommy Johansson (also worth checking out) are my two favourite singers, for reasons you mention - nice clear voices. For the women, it's Lara Fabian and Faouzia. Faouzia is up and coming and should be a lot more known than she is. She recently released a live performance of her Fur Elise, which is amazing. She's unique in many ways. At just 23, she writes most of her own songs, but does some great covers as well.
I have been a great fan of Marc Martel. I always like and respect your opinions as they are very objective. Other artists singing with Queen have no match with Martel.
When you mentioned Marc is probably good at impressions, it brought to mind his cover of Bare Naked Ladies - If I Had $1000000. He makes it his own, definitely, but it is a great example of what I think you were saying. The Marc Martel rabbit hole is a very fun ride indeed! czcams.com/video/-Xyl9lKYXIQ/video.html
Marc is also Christian 🙌🏿✝️🧎🏽
Yes!
Brother is freeddie a baritone?
No, I would say he is a tenor. He has a great lower range, though!
@@nickhiggsthesinger Musicians have said Freddie was a high baritone . Marc is a tenor.
@@nickhiggsthesinger, listen to some of Freddie's duets with Montserrat Caballé. She said he was definitely a baritone. She actually wanted him to sing more opera, but he didn't want to "betray" his fans, by not singing rock-oriented songs.
@@nickhiggsthesinger Do they still use the term, "contra tenor" regarding male vocals?
@@HahnJames
Countertenor. Yes. But neither Freddie nir Marc are countertenors. Imo Freddie was a lyrical baritone (high batintone), which places him at baryton Martin. Marc is a lyrical spinto tenor with dramatic tendencies.
new reactor to you, i love your analysis... Im what i'd call a raw talent, I honestly have 8 octaves, prefer falsetto, love impersonating Freddie, Elton, Billey Joel and especially Matt Bellamy (whi I hope you love) I'm not sure what to do next
Post some vids of your singing. Listen to the feedback. 8 octaves? Perhaps you should also get some music education. I know you wanted advice from the OP but no one could tell you from what you posted.
Hi..., Can i req "ombra mai fu" song ???, Sung by andreas schol?
I prefer Adam.
Adam plays BoRhap in it’s entirety solo to self-accompaniment? STOOOP! Where can we all see that?!
Er schreit mehr als er singt (not really good).
Only according to haters. His peers, industry musicians, vocal coaches, and most of the people who listen to him know and have stated repeatedly what a gifted and skilled vocalist he is. However for those who prefer another cover artist to the point where they actually hate Marc or those who feel violently that no one should sing Freddie's music, the denial persists. Interesting but sad.
@@marcfan1822 You should´t call me a hater just because I have different tastes.
@@laurinbartel640 "Different taste" is " I prefer ...." or not commenting at all. You literally said he screams which no actual musician would agree with . That's not different taste. That's a slam. In long experience of reading comments on Marc's videos, people who post erroneous slams and insults invariably either are militant about other artists not singing Freddie's music or most common - prefer another cover artist I won' t name who specializes in runs and trills, and violently hate Marc probably because of how much people love him and his work . If you post a slam that is patently not true expect to be refuted.
@@laurinbartel640he’s not screaming at all. He adds distortion at times to his voice but that isn’t the same thing as screaming and certainly does not sound as if it is. What a weird thing to say 🤔
@@alexandra-fu7oq There have been a number of trolls who specifically used the word " screaming" in recent years. One was a militant Freddie Mercury fan who used to repeatedly post abusive [almost unhinged] rants about Marc . The rest were AL fans.
