- When your natural voice sounds like Freddie Mercury, what do you do for fun? Why, cover other great singers of course. Marc covers Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson and Pavarotti among others on this video. Created with Corel VideoStudio.

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

True
Exactly what i thought 😁
He does sing like luciano but just like Freddie hands down
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...
Exactly.
Ditto!
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!
His Bon Jovi wasn't half bad..
@@Embur12 the Micheal Bolton one was Spot on
What the World needs now... is Marc Martel.
No, not just for some, but for everyone!
_Right here, right now,_
_there is no other place I want to be_
Can anybody find meee...
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.
Go to his channel or search his name. ENJOY!
He is just using Freddie's style, but he's making it his own voice.
Marc is one of the best vocalists alive. Seriously.
Absolutely!
II. Gyula more like the best
You should listen more music
Exactly!
Emphasis on ALIVE
He, as always, nailed Freddie Mercury. But his Michael Jackson and Luciano Pavarotti impressions were really good too!
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!”
On top of that he is a multi-instrumentalist. Marc can play at least six musical instruments. Yes, I am also including the kazoo.
@@alanguagesand a songwriter! It's highly underutilized and celebrated, but that part of him DOES exist! For example, his song How Many Kings has been translated and performed in at least a dozen languages. Just yesterday, i found one recording in Russian. I have also seen it done in Spanish, Slovakian, Ukrainian, Mongolian, and more. He wrote that song in one afternoon.
Ohhh, and his tribute to Robin Williams is sublime! It's called Flight With the Crows.
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...
@@marcosants6335 link plz
He sounds like the perfect man.
@@casalaiz4413 Yes he believes in GOOOOOD!!!! Omg he loves God that is goos
Marc is the greatest singer that I've ever heard.😮
Obviously he naturally sounds like Freddie, no doubt about that, but damn when he really puts on a voice his Vedder is on point.
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
I have now, thank you! That was so beautiful.
That one made my soul feel all warm & fuzzy ❤️❤️❤️ Jeff is almost as impossible as Freddie..& this man does both justice..
Sure!¡ increíble vocalista!¡ 💝💖👌🤗😘💜💕👄🌷👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
the pavarotti was incredible. amazing voice
Watch the full Mercurotti video on TH-cam.
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.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest I did brother. Amazing
He didn't have that beard 2 minutes ago. Then he sang his first note as Pavarotti and it instantly appeared.
“What would Freddie Mercury sound like singing ‘My Heart Will Go On?’” Was not a question I thought I needed the answer to.
Am I the only one who was blew away by the Michael Bolton impression? What a voice control!
3:24 Waiting for a Marc Martel and Seal collaboration!
Seal mentioned Marc in a New York Times interview.
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!!!
As if his vocal talent wasn't enough, he can play multiple instruments and plays them well! This guy is my hero...
Marc Martel you are amazing musician, being a vocalist, pianist, guitarist with many voices and must be with the Queen band
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!
This guy is so talented...goose bumps every single time
Huge talent! I am truly impressed. Luckily I had an opportunity to attend Marc's concert. Amazing.
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.
He sounds like Freddie Mercury doing cover songs. This man should be the frontman in QUEEN today.
Yes.
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.
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??? 🤔
@@rgsenerman
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY A MOVIE THEORY
He really does. The nose and mouth/chin. Obviously has something to do with why they sound so similar.
YES
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
Your best voice is Freddie Mercury you Channel him brother God bless you
Вы звучите,как Фредди .Это потрясающе.Спасибо,мы еще раз прикоснулись к прекрасному, благодаря Вам.
if you ever wondered what fred sounded like singing the titanic theme
lol
That was incredible.
Hahaha, OMG that was hilarious! 😂🤣
The Rich Little of vocalist incredible!
OMG! I LOVE THIS GUY!!!! Awesome talent
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.
Super talented singer, multi-instrumentalist, stage presence and charisma. The whole package.
It's not just the power or range of his voice, but that it all comes so effortlessly. Such an incredible voice!
4:46 NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HIS AMAZING MICHAEL JACKSON
Andrew Farkas RIGHT
Exactly
not gonna lie,Jeffrey Perez is a better Michael Jackson than him,he sounds like if Freddie tried to do Michael xD
@@JDoactive u gotta admit it was pretty cool tho
@@andrewfarkas1274 fuck yeah it was lol
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.
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
Absolut genial - netter Typ schon getroffen😊😊😊
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.
Pavarotti, please 😳
He does a Keith Green song too. The best Keith Green imitation I have ever heard.
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.
it doesn't matter if he doesn't try he still sounds like Freddie
Your voice is out of this world!
This guy is crazy talented!
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.
Naturally sounds like Freddie...absolutely
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.
Michael Bolton was incredible!!!! And later goes to Pavarotti!!! Man, he is one of the greatest, indeed!!!!!
Extraordinary vocal abilities!
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. 🙌👑✝️🕊🕎
This may be...but....let me tell you....this voice is hard work
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.
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
No way.... nothing alike.
Didn't he once say he was originally trained for opera?
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.
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!!!
What a great voice!
8:05 reminds of Devin Townsend entertaining the audience live
What an angelic voice
Nope, he sounds like Freddie Mercury every time, he does however sing all the different songs perfectly. This guy is crazy talented.
Except the Michael Jackson one btw, that one really sounded on point.
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.
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.
Yes!
Beautifully said👌💖
I think he'd wish nothing more, but the opportunities propably don't come! And doing an hommage tour probably pays the bills!
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!
Marc has the best voice ever he must be very proud to be classed as freddie
Wow! What a voice. What musicianship! I hope you find your own groove.
He just sounds like Freddy Mercury imitating all those other people
😁😁😁😁
yup
He even looks like he'd be related to Freddie.....the Jawline, especially
TheMJN75 he is good. Why Adam?
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?
He deserves to be more famous than he is. Talent like that needs to be cherished and rewarded!
He's absolutely phenomenal.
looks like superman. sounds like Freddie. super fred. x
nah looks more like Elon Musk and Freddie Mercury mushed together so
Elon Mercury
There are certain simularities between him and Henry Cavill
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
🤣 🤣
шикарно. Браво! Техника - фантастика. Неужели такое может быть?
Marc is so talented. I just love his voice!
What do I say???? Marc does it all. I have no words!!
I almost passed out when I heard his Eddie Vedder voice....🔥
He is so good wow
This is insane. No coaching and he sounds just incredible absolutely beautiful. Pure talent. Somewhat jealous
Never seen this guy before. Amazing! Thanks for sharing. :-)
Handsome and talent... I am sure Freddie is happy to look at this nice man who sings as him with respect
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.
I would literally kill for his voice!!!
Wezzydog me too
Wezzydog I just need a little bit more range
This man should be a pop star. Because he can ACTUALLY sing and stuff, you know...
Like people need talents to be stars these days. 😉
Todd & Raquel Liz Forrest My point exactly...
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.
And play instruments too
Marc is extraordinary
He is phenomenal and so underrated. Marc, you are a true star and I wish you ALL you deserve which is everything!
You have got to be kidding me? This guy is great...
Mark's talents are endless!!! No doubt that this video should be added in Favourites!!!
Marc sounds still like Freddie Mercury imitating the other artists...
😅
The reborn Freddie ❤❤❤❤❤
Im totally blown away by this mans talent..and he captures Freddies sound and spirit so effortlessly ..its really very moving.
Marc, you are brilliant! 😘😘😘
Marc is such a talented man! Great video!
This guy is amazing....would love to see him in concert....😉
He's amazing. Love his George Michael rendition and Jeff Buckley. He's one talented man.
Wow so much wow
Vielen herzlichen Dank, für die Zusammenstellungen. Ich hatte, die Hoffnung, dass ich einen Auftritt live erleben könnte.
Die FANS von ihm, lachen mich sicherlich aus, leider musste ich immer hart arbeiten, habe 3 Jobs, aber tritt er noch auf und gibt es Karten?
GO TO HIS WEBSITE MARCMARTELMUSIC FOR CONCERT SCHEDULE. HE IS STILL TOURING THE WORLD!
@@ToddandRaquiForrest Thank you have a nice Day.
Marc's Freddie Mercury, Jon Bon Jovi & Pavaroti 'wow'
Truly amazing.
Marc, myself being brought up from a family of past musicians, you are one very very talented musician & deserve all the respect you get for such.
Such a talented man!
This isn't Freddie, this is Marc... The new and improved Freddie... He can basically sing any style!
How's this guy not famous? More talent than anyone I've seen.
He is famous to those who recognize talent instead of hype. Welcome to the elite club.
Mark should have his own songs, and his special tour! Great voice, open heart 💕💖
Marc has many original songs, with his band Downhere or solo. These are a few of my favourites:
th-cam.com/video/T1ge9YlEtxw/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/1geMlp9-t2Q/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/SDBkqzEGMI8/w-d-xo.html
He has over 100 songs of his own. Do your research.
If you haven't already, search for his first band downhere, for whom he wrote or co-wrote all their songs and his original album "Impersonator" and EP Prelude. Have fun : )
danke für diese Interpretationen ... unglaublich ... manches interessanter als das Original
Todd and Raqui Forrest -- Did you know Marc and Downhere back in the day? They were one of my favorite groups at the time and working in radio, I got a chance to work with them at our Music Festival and a concert later on. Great group of guys and yes, back then I too said to the group, "You know, Marc sounds insanely close to Freddie Mercury.". They all laughed. "Of course we know!" Yep, a lot of people had said that back then. Thanks for putting this vid together.
Yes. Met the band after a concert near Chicago. They opened for Barlow Girl.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest wow. I went to Judson with Barlow Girl. Watched their goodbye concert when they got signed. Sweet girls when I knew em, back then.
This guy is incredibly talented. He has amazing vocal skills and he is a great musician. Guitar, piano and ... ? He's is incredible.
Cómo no amar a este hombre, si nos hace sentir que Freddie aún sigue con nosotros
Y Superman 🥰😍
Hasta yo lo amo! jajajjaa.....
Grande Marc! Impresiona escucharlo!!!
When you have 5 ranges this is a cake walk for Marc. Very talented young man who knows how to use his voice and maintain it. 😎
Green Man Young man lol. Marc in he’s 40’s
Marc your so talented ❤
Grew up in the 70/80s and loved Queen, but coming from Asia, I never had the opportunity to see them live. 46 year later, I now live in North America. Hopefully I get to see Marc
You voice is wonderfull and beautifull!!
Can't believe Queen didn't hire him as front man!😮 They definitely missed their opportunity there.
