What the World needs now... is Marc Martel.
No, not just for some, but for everyone!
Ok so he sounds like Freddie, but he is more than that, his tenor voice is to die for, I wouldn't mind hearing more.
Most people try to sound like Freddie and fall short...He tries to sound like other people and ends up sounding like Freddie singing other people's songs...
He has said in an interview that he has tried to sound like other people, but he still sounds more like Freddie. Anyway, what a gift he has!
He, as always, nailed Freddie Mercury. But his Michael Jackson and Luciano Pavarotti impressions were really good too!
Obviously he naturally sounds like Freddie, no doubt about that, but damn when he really puts on a voice his Vedder is on point.
He's a true artist. He seems so modest and truly in love with singing and music.
He said at a recent concert (on his 2020 Germany tour), “It’s all about the music, baby!”
if you ever wondered what fred sounded like singing the titanic theme
I found his Michael Jackson, and Luciano Pavarotti to be the best! the others sounded like Freddie doing versions of the song! which is indeed, a wonderful complement!!!
Marc Martel singing Hallelujah.... my ears are so happy.
+barkatthemoon100 I hope you have seen the full song. If not: th-cam.com/video/4BTHOHGCYiQ/w-d-xo.html
That one made my soul feel all warm & fuzzy ❤️❤️❤️ Jeff is almost as impossible as Freddie..& this man does both justice..
I had a chance to meet and talk to Marc when he came to Houston for the Queen extravaganza tour about 5 or 6 years ago. I have a great picture with him :-). He is handsome, talented, kind hearted, courteous, full of values and ethics and a man who loves God above all
Martha Holmgren guys if I say that I look like him do you guys believe me or not? Check my Instagram ms7nts I’m amazed he is just like me seriously I’m
Shocked...
@@casalaiz4413 Yes he believes in GOOOOOD!!!! Omg he loves God that is goos
He just sounds like Freddy Mercury imitating all those other people
😁😁😁😁
I think his MJ and Eddie Vedder voices were pretty good and did not sound like Freddie imitating either, haha
He sounds like Sebastian Bach when he tried Bon Jovi. He did ok with Eddie Vedder and Richard Marx but Jeff Buckley is spot on. Also is it just me or he looks like Henry Cavill on the Pavarotti clip?
4:46 NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HIS AMAZING MICHAEL JACKSON
not gonna lie,Jeffrey Perez is a better Michael Jackson than him,he sounds like if Freddie tried to do Michael xD
looks like superman. sounds like Freddie. super fred. x
nah looks more like Elon Musk and Freddie Mercury mushed together so
Elon Mercury
don’t say that he said he doesn’t believe in peter pan frankenstein or superman
Take a look at his teeth and cheecks darling he's look like freddie married with superman
Marc Martel you are amazing musician, being a vocalist, pianist, guitarist with many voices and must be with the Queen band
Marc does sound a lot like Freddie in the range, clarity and beauty of his voice and he obviously has studied how Freddie delivered the Queen songs. But Marc is not an impressionist. It is not that he can sound LIKE all these great rock singers. What makes Marc's covers of these great singers and great songs so remarkable is that MARC HIMSELF IS A GREAT SINGER! To paraphrase something I have heard since my childhood, Marc could sing anything, ANYTHING and make it sound AMAZING! I love hearing Marc make Freddie's songs come alive again, but I also just love hearing Marc sing period. ...And he can always fall back on a fabulous career singing opera if this pop/rock thing doesn't work out for him.
Marc is the greatest singer that I've ever heard.😮
As if his vocal talent wasn't enough, he can play multiple instruments and plays them well! This guy is my hero...
He sounds like Freddie Mercury doing cover songs. This man should be the frontman in QUEEN today.
No. i think Queen purposely does not tour with him because they would be a parody of the former band without John Deacon and Freddie. they are doing something "different" with lambert, not trying to sound like they replaced freddie with an impersonator. also, he is not Freddie on stage. nobody is.. so it wouldn't be the same experience either way.
@@walley2637 If I go see Queen today, I would expect the sound to be similar, its part of the experience. If you want to do something different, then change he songs as well!
They would let him sing but Freddie died, out of respect they won't replace Freddie.
@@walley2637 parody is a comedic immitation... that wouldnt be a parody, it would be a cover band. Thats why the "queen extravaganza" is the Official Queen Cover band run by Rodger Taylor. BUT.... if they truely believed they were doing something new and different, Rodger and Brian would have created a new band and retired queen like THEY SHOULD HAVE. Because Adam Lambert SUCKS SO BAD. Its not queen... its pop music.
i WAS GOING TO COMMENT, "Freddy Mercury Covers other music"...but the more I listen to Mark on all his other videos, I have to give credit. Mark Can sing very well. He has a unique voice that just so happens to sound so much like freddy mercury. This video proves he is not and is not really good at impersonating other singers. His voice is TOO MUCH his own. He just sings so well you almost wish they were in the room. Mark Martel, give yourself more credit bro. You are you, and God definitely blessed you. Make it yours.
I think he'd wish nothing more, but the opportunities propably don't come! And doing an hommage tour probably pays the bills!
it doesn't matter if he doesn't try he still sounds like Freddie
Nope, he sounds like Freddie Mercury every time, he does however sing all the different songs perfectly. This guy is crazy talented.
Am I the only one who was blew away by the Michael Bolton impression? What a voice control!
This guy is so talented...goose bumps every single time
Your best voice is Freddie Mercury you Channel him brother God bless you
It's like Freddie trying to imitate those other singers.
Still, the Freddie voice is in this dude!
It is effortless for Martel to sing in Freddie's voice. He's truly a soothe for us who missed Freddie soooo much
the pavarotti was incredible. amazing voice
That one was my favorite. His voice was so soft and beautiful on that one. Reminds me of the old black and white romantic musical movies. Very talented.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest Do you have a recording of him singing Time to say goodbye (Con te Patiro)? I think he would sound awesome on that or "Somewhere" I think its from westside story? Those are the songs that my mind hears his voice singing.
He didn't have that beard 2 minutes ago. Then he sang his first note as Pavarotti and it instantly appeared.
I almost passed out when I heard his Eddie Vedder voice....🔥
The Rich Little of vocalist incredible!
Вы звучите,как Фредди .Это потрясающе.Спасибо,мы еще раз прикоснулись к прекрасному, благодаря Вам.
Huge talent! I am truly impressed. Luckily I had an opportunity to attend Marc's concert. Amazing.
This young man's voice is like nothing I've ever heard n I'm 57. God has truly blessed Marc. I know he will never forget his beginnings in the Lord Jesus Christ. 🙌👑✝️🕊🕎
Marc also plays five different musical instruments. I think he is also bilingual with English and French. Amazing the amount of time and effort he has put in. He deserves great success in his chosen profession.
Marc is a humble guy I absolutely love him what a talent and Freddie would be blown away it’s weird how much he sounds like Freddie but this guy is a natural he can sound like so many different people i wish Marc much success I’d love to see him in concert
Thing is to be a star you need to be creative write songs make music do great performance.Freddie had it all. No one can even copy Freddie style and his charisma which attracts both women n men so much
@@officience1
Martel has a library of originals. Go listen. Amazing stuff!
Say what you wanna say but for me Marc is by far the best Freddie impersonator I have ever seen in my entire life.
No matter how hard he tries not to, he naturally sounds like Freddie and yes you can learn technique and you can try to sound like a singer or can come nearest the most but the tone, agility everything that Freddie has and no one could ever come close with, Marc does. The passion he has, the instrument that is his voice that is exactly like Freddie's, Marc has.
For me I am convinced that he is Freddie's son, he looks so much like him, his jawline, his face to me is believable that he is son or related in some type of way or god created a Freddie in Marc so we can have another chance to hear the legend again.
I will tell you why I am convinced in this theory. Never forget that Mary was Freddie's lover, they were young, he was in the brink of fame, who fucking knows? Just here me out. If hypothetically, they did meddle and have a son, Marc would be him. It's the 80's, alcohol, drugs, dunno I feel that they decided to hide the pregnancy as it would effect his career? or to give him a better life? considering Freddie's history... But then again how does nobody know? The band, family, friends? Or did she go AWOL for 9 freakin' months at that time?? or was she good for hiding it that nobody had a clue and she decided to give him for adoption or to a foster home and was her little secret? I mean I don't want to start any theories but I have thought this quite abit. Freddie is 76 by now and Marc is 45 so he would have Marc at 30 years old? Reasonable time for a baby no? But then again Freddie was already famous by then and he already joined the band so I don't know what to think but ughhhhhh they look so alike no?? apart their outstanding one of a kind voices, look alike demeanour makes me believe that in some way they are related. *this is just my theory. Thanks.
There is simply no evidence to suggest that Marc is Freddie's son. And Marc looks too Anglo to be the son of a Parsi like Freddie.
Also not possible for Marc to be related because Freddie was a homosexual...2 outlets don’t go together and 2 plugs don’t go together...you need one of each.
This is incredible... how many talents does this guy have?? God bless you Mark!! Please keep sharing your gift with us!!! 👏👏👏❤️
He can sing anything from opera to country!!!
Damn, that boy can sing some opera! Do more of that. Bravo!!!
5165430178 have you listened to his Christmas music? Right now I’m specifically thinking of his rendition of The First Noel, where he sings his own background vocals in an operatic style. It’s stunning. I asked Marc on Twitter if that were his vocals, and he replied with a “correct”. :)
5165430178 oh and he does all the voices on Handel’s Messiah Halleluah. They’re on his channel. :)
he even looks a bit like freddie mercury
+Robert Wilcox You are NOT the only one to say that, believe me.
Well maybe Freddy and Mary did have a son, they were together as a couple for a while..... And here he is??? 🤔
He really does. The nose and mouth/chin. Obviously has something to do with why they sound so similar.
Michael Bolton was incredible!!!! And later goes to Pavarotti!!! Man, he is one of the greatest, indeed!!!!!
Goose bumps watching the duet, Pavarotti and Freddie. Loved BareNaked Ladies, there is no voice quite like Steven Page. Love your music and videos, Marc Martel.
OMG! I LOVE THIS GUY!!!! Awesome talent
It's not just the power or range of his voice, but that it all comes so effortlessly. Such an incredible voice!
Extraordinary vocal abilities!
He impressed me as Pavarotti.
+Douglas Davenport Their is a video of Marc singing the whole song Nessun Dorma on TH-cam, but I recommend the Mercurotti if you haven't watched it already: th-cam.com/video/8sXLwLRXkEs/w-d-xo.html
Si. Para ser comercial , tiene buen perfil para lo clásico, eso pensé yo
I honestly think he sounds a little, just a little bit more like Andrea Bocelli.
You have got to be kidding me? This guy is great...
Every close up of his face while singing Queen songs there is a lot of same facial features of Freddie Mercury. Look at his eyes, mouth, nose alittle, & his profile. What talent.
His Pavarotti caught me totally off guard! Even grew in the beard 🧔🏻
Well, HALF a beard, lol. You have to see The Mercurotti video (Pavarotti/Mercury duet): th-cam.com/video/8sXLwLRXkEs/w-d-xo.html
He sounded more like Andrea Bocelli. He has a wonderful tenor voice anyway
This man should be a pop star. Because he can ACTUALLY sing and stuff, you know...
not a popstar. A rockstar. I bet he could be if he did his own thing. I always feel sad for such big talents, trying to be like someone else instead of becoming great on their own
Check out his solo albums Prelude and Impersonator, and his even earlier work with Downhere. He definitely has plenty of original work, something like 15 albums.
One of the most versatile voices I've ever heard! Going from Michael Jackson to Pavoratti would be enough to blow my mind. Being such an accomplished musician is even more impressive! Truly amazing.
Awesome!
Your voice is out of this world!
Sounds like freddie singing those songs....and that's not a bad thing at all
Marc Martel has such a unique tone that no matter who tries to sing like the tone always comes through with the exception of Pavarotti
He does a Keith Green song too. The best Keith Green imitation I have ever heard.
This guy is crazy talented!
Freddie still alive!?
Queen never die
I wish I could have seen him during his Downhere days! He's one of the best singers I've ever seen.
I saw him back then. He and Jason Germaine both have great voices, but Marc's immediately made me think of Freddie.
Marc has the best voice ever he must be very proud to be classed as freddie
that may not have been Celine Dion, but I DEFINITELY will take it!!! flipping Freddie Mercury singing Titanic!!! 🤩
Unbelievable talent! From Celine to Luciano no mean feat. And done beautifully! Marc is a remarkable talent vocally andstrumentally.....very talented in his own right!
Wow! What a voice. What musicianship! I hope you find your own groove.
He has a really impressive vocal technique, that's why he sounds very similar ( not identical) to many of them. His vocal range, the strength in his voice and of course, the way he sings.
Marc is such a talented man! Great video!
Superman!!!
I'm convinced somebody bought Freddy's sperm and that's how this man happened. It's one thing to sound like him but this guy looks like him and we all see it I mean come on
Well than thank you to that sperm smuggler for bringing freddie back
I've only seen this comment posted and reposted about a hundred times. It's still original, right?
@@dakotawatson8229 no not necessarily. It is actually transmitted from the host (mother), when the child is borrn because of the blood etc.
Super talented singer, multi-instrumentalist, stage presence and charisma. The whole package.
What do I say???? Marc does it all. I have no words!!
danke für diese Interpretationen ... unglaublich ... manches interessanter als das Original
Marc sounds still like Freddie Mercury imitating the other artists...
He is a genies👍
He has big vocal range and beautiful voice color.
шикарно. Браво! Техника - фантастика. Неужели такое может быть?
He's amazing. Love his George Michael rendition and Jeff Buckley. He's one talented man.
My brother thinks his Micheal Jackson impression is in the uncanny valley XD
Damn, he still has the vocal range until now, further proves that it's his natural voice accompanied with proper technique. People kept saying that he's just forcing to sound like Freddie but that wouldn't be good for his vocal chords, Gary Mullen for example, he lost the ability for high notes when singing Queen songs.
@Some Kind Of Master @Some Kind Of Master The vocal similarity yes, but as professional voice coach reactors have said many times, you can be born with the biology, and still never be a good singer. It takes natural talent and great vocal skills to be as good as Marc. He is a fine multi instrument musician, songwriter and sometime producer as well as a gifted vocalist. He is a better true musician than Freddie ever was . Freddie's legend lies in his mastery of showmanship long after his heavy smoking and over driving of his vocals in the early days made live performances of the "studio" versions of Queen's and his songs untenable . Marc on the other hand can perform 22+ [frequently the studio versions] Queen songs per concert and sound as good by the end of the last note of the last encore as he did when he walked out. ; )
Freddie Mercury is his best... he really is a suitable replacement, such that if he were to sing with Queen, we could then see that band continue on in its contribution to the world.
Mark can certainly try to impersonate other singers but no matter how hard he tries impersonating others he still sounds like Freddie Mercury upon hearing this I am truly convinced that this talented man who sounds like Freddy really does sound like Freddy and isn't just a front like some people speculate. Freddy lives on not just in songs but through mark some of his physical features on Mark's face it says if you're staring into a Freddy that has transformed into the next life which is Mark.
Just look at mark he has Freddy's jawline he has Freddy's buck teeth signature mark even some of his movements so to Mark I say my friend you may try to sound like someone else but even you can't dispute the fact that you have become the new Freddie Mercury that only can we hear his beautiful music again but it's somehow spiritually channeled taking some resemblance to Freddy and you make the whole experience just as emotional as witnessing a Freddy concert. Like it or not mark you naturally sound like Freddy sing like Freddy act like Freddy move like Freddy but you will never sound like anyone else ever in my opinion stick to what God has given you and that's the beautiful spirit of Freddie Mercury God bless you mark and it would be a dream come true to see you live in person but if I never get that that's okay cuz I can enjoy watching you perform on TH-cam magnificent show and yes it will go on
Cómo no amar a este hombre, si nos hace sentir que Freddie aún sigue con nosotros
This isn't Freddie, this is Marc... The new and improved Freddie... He can basically sing any style!
He actually has an amazing Eddie vedder impression
He actually was heavily influenced by Eddie and George Michael growing up.
Eh...he kind of hardens his r's just a tad much...but the Freddy and George michael...impressive in itself
Geez..he can sing anything❤
8:04 Sometimes I binge-watch Marc's Audience song. I made a playlist of all the live fan recordings I could find. 🥰
@@babooshka7601 YES. And the haters who think he has no charisma should watch this. He's got all the girls (and the guys too) screaming!
@@artfulstories or "Rockstars". Marc is a good "choir" director to audiences he just met!
Never seen this guy before. Amazing! Thanks for sharing. :-)
He's absolutely phenomenal.
Stopppp!! This guy plays pianno, guitar and sing as anyone sing...my god!!! And I here in Brazil one play bell door. Oh injusticed world!!!!!!!!
He deserves to be more famous than he is. Talent like that needs to be cherished and rewarded!
Marc your so talented ❤
Marc, you're voice is like mystic or a chameleon
Marc is so talented. I just love his voice!
He is UTTERLY AMAZING!! His "voices" put a smile on my face ... the fact that he sounds pretty much like a dead on match to Freddie just brings him back to life for me ... if Marc ever tours in southern Ontario anytime soon, the tickets are sold!!
August 9, 10 and 11 in Gatineau, and September 13, 14, 15 in Quebec. Only Canada and Mexico City so far get blessed by 3 concerts at a time.
This is insane. No coaching and he sounds just incredible absolutely beautiful. Pure talent. Somewhat jealous
Handsome and talent... I am sure Freddie is happy to look at this nice man who sings as him with respect
Marc is extraordinary
What a great voice!
8:05 reminds of Devin Townsend entertaining the audience live
Love Marc great voice only one can sing like Freddie 💕👍
It's like Freddie Mercury singing other people's songs. And that was meant as a great compliment. Marc, you're amazing.
JT Michaelson yes
th-cam.com/video/R3svXYr5Fqc/w-d-xo.html (I'm sorry for Jean Walker's english, but keep ur ears on the capacity)
True
Exactly what i thought 😁
He does sing like luciano but just like Freddie hands down
