I'm positive myself this is Freddie. You can see that he is holding back not to explode and becoming Freddie all over again. I've heard med beds a technology that has been hidden from the population and will be making its way to us soon. I believe Freddy has been in a med bed that completely heals the body and will shave thirty years off of you physically and also your appearance. I can't wait till he becomes Freddie once again! Oh, listening to one of his concerts he jokingly said he was 73 and the math works out as to Freddie's age at that time!
Wow! Been a Queen fan for 50 years. Never did I think it was possible for anyone to perform this in it's entirety; Queen didn't even do that. This guy has exponentially more talent than 99% of major artists today. And to top it all, he seems like such a humble person. Keep 'em coming Marc, love it!
You're a brave man. I've always thought (:lowers voice to a faint whisper:) that Marc's voice is better than Freddie's. (Please don't lynch me, Queen Fans! I love Queen too!)
Igor Presnyakov , that’s right... I haven’t listened to anyone else sound as the master this close .... is brilliant ... without forgetting the piano playing, which was pretty good as well
If bohemian rhapsody (the film) gets nominated for an Oscar, I hope Marc Martel gets invited to perform the song with Queen at the award ceremony. That would be really cool :)
Nah, if that happens, they'll go with Adam Lambert as the new "official" lead singer of Queen. Even though Lambert himself is very proud, that he sounds nothing like Freddie.
This guy sounds just like Freddie, yet he sounds so original. He doesn't sound like copying, laboring at it, or even trying hard. Vocal versatility at its best.
I 100% agree with your opinion. He’s not even trying to sound like him and you could hear that he’s singing this as his own version not like “hear me sing the way Freddie does.”
That's because he's not trying to sound like Freddy, that's just how his own voice is, he got gifted with sounding like one of the best singers in history
Listening to Marc for the first time brings so many things to mind. Amazing job, Marc. My Dad was a Jazz musician by trade (received a happy birthday last year from Quincy Jones - which puts it in perspective). Grew up with Queen in the background, but now listening from a different perspective. Bohemian Rhapsody feels like pure brilliance in many ways. Creative, energetic, and magnetic in its appeal, it just draws you in hooks, lines, and sinkers. Paint me a story with words and music, and make me care. Just beautiful to experience once again.
Man, I'm stunned. Literally. Being a singer and pianist myself, I do know how hard it is to sing this piece AND play piano along. And your voice is definitely very close to Freddie's. I'm amazed!
Is no one gonna talk about how BEAUTIFUL his piano skills are?! That must have took years of practice. He sounds exactly like Freddie and he plays piano like a god. We get it Marc, you're perfect.
If he was my neighbour, I’d complain if he stopped singing. Marc, your voice and videos always give me a lot of peace knowing that Freddie’s voice lives on through you.
3:12 - 4:10 обожаю этот фрагмент! 🔥🔥🔥🔥Марк поет один за несколько человек,несколькими голосами!!! Талант ! И большой труд !!! ❤❤❤!! Я уже это видео смотрю раз сто - и не могу остановиться!
Derik Charles besides the fact that this comment is completely disrespectful and disturbing, there are other ways to get aids. and take your homophobic self somewhere else, it’s not welcome here! :)
Since this is blowing up again, little known fact: Marc helped out in the making of Bohemian Rhapsody(the movie) and was a big part in recreating the voice of Freddie. They mixed his, Remi's, and Freddie's voice's all together. There are certain parts in the movie where you can really hear Marc. Truly amazing what they did :)
Funny thing: I watched bohemian rhapsody last night (not for the first time) and tonight I read my BuzzFeed, which mentions Marc Martel and I came straight to this video. All I could say was "holy sh*t, he sounds like FM"
You fucking legend. You gold standard double embossed 24 carat legend. This is one of the greatest musical performances of the last 20 years. Massive props Mark 🙏❤️
Holy crap!!! I never heard of this guy before tonight - saw his name mentioned in a lot of the comments about the Queen performance at the Oscars. I never thought I’d hear a voice like Mercury’s - this is stunning!! And the piano too?? Are you kidding me??!! Wow! Just wow!!
Roger daltrey had a much wider range,but it was Freddie who used it with perfection, But at last as a song(not based on any particular genre) Wish You Were Here is the greatest song of all time,of which your profile picture is all about.....
Let's not forget he's playing piano at the same time... playing and singing is ridiculously hard as it is and this arrangement is including things that were never done live by Queen... Absolutely incredible
I just can't. I was so VERY LUCKY to have seen Freddie preform this live so many years ago. I don't know how I stumbled on to this, but I can't stop crying. It's like he is channeling Freddie. So amazing, thank you Marc, you're incredible.
I wish I was alive when freddy was still alive so I had the chance to see him preform I'm such a huge fan of Queen I have a poster of freddy in my room and wanna get more stuff with Queen on it
I was lucky enough to see Queen in concert and Freddy’s vocals were always incredible. Until this moment I would have said that “ No one “ could sound like Freddy , but I would be mistaken because this young man sounds just like Freddy . Truly incredible. And the Piano playing!!!! Just brilliant.
The vibrato is so close to Freddie. He clearly has a lot of practice and talent when it comes to singing. He holds notes beautifully with little change in pitch or volume. The breaths are also perfectly taken. The modulations during the operatic section are also brilliant considering this is not prerecorded. The pronunciation of certain words are exactly like Freddie. Especially the nothing and the final line.
@@melol.4447 Yeah I know that. Anyone taking on this song has a lot of talent and courage. But his is undoubtedly the closest in terms of the tone and style.
Not trying to detract what he's doing, because it's extremely impressive, but it seems, at least to me, that he learned piano at a later age (not at like 3 or 4 like me or any other good Asian kid), and that he's self-taught. That's just my observation but that makes it more impressive, especially the bridge. The verses are relatively easy on the piano, but I just didn't even bother learning the bridge.
This is the first time I have seen and heard a clean (only) piano accompaniment. Great job! And to the great Freddie for the composition of of this great piece of music.
I have watched this over and over for years. Leaving comment is the first time. No one can cover like this. Unbelievable still! So much natural born talent and trimmed as well. Very good control…
Not just the vocals, but also the piano playing here is amazing. Even though this song was originally written on the piano, the guitars are often the heart of this track. Being able to play the piano, trying best to replace the guitar bits and all while belting out sweet vocals, is breathtaking to watch.
Every pianist/vocalist should be grateful to Marc, because he's done a lot to promote our genre with just this single video... I'd be honored if some Queen fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history who followed the trail that Freddie Mercury blazed. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
One year after my prior comment, I'm back. It's 12/2/24 and there are 58Million views on this. Collectively amongst the reactors this tops 100million views. Stunning. And people are still finding this for the first time.
I think it's worth pointing out how ballsy it was to take on a song like this which typically has a huge instrumental accompaniment with just a piano and his voice. Truly fantastic.
Queen themselves didn't play the middle part of BohRhap live at any of their shows that are posted on TH-cam... they just turned out the lights and cued up the studio version! Marc has broken new musical ground here...

@@willritter4076 Watched play live in NYC decades ago. The whole song was preformed on stage n sounded awesome. Stop dragging life from your TH-cam experience. Another fucking computer geek living in a basement.
This is nothing short of award winning! His piano skills and His voice being almost spot on to Freddie's is jaw dropping! I'm sure You've heard this plenty but Well done Marc!! 👏 👏👏👏
There's a really good AI cover of Freddie's voice singing Michael Jackson's "Thriller" which is actually pretty good, but I'd love for Marc to do his own cover of it! What's funny is that Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones actually wanted Freddie to be a part of the original track.
@@lauradamico6587visto lo spessore del personaggio, hanno preferito un attore professionista. Anche se per me Marc se la sarebbe cavata benissimo come attore
Oh my Gosh I'm shaking and crying right now! Feeling like I traveled to the past. Thank you for this. You're brilliant and so talented. God bless you and your career ❤
Why in the world would anybody give this a thumbs down? No one is saying that he's Freddy Mercury. No one is saying he's better, although that's subjective. He's not being disrespectful to Mercury. He is simply giving him a tip of the hat. Obviously a fan. Just enjoy this guys talent, passion, and INSANE voice. Bravo, Marc Martel!
I totally agree. I've been checking out Marc singing other Queen songs. Marc sings the high notes which Freddie hardly ever did live. I love the way Freddie went down rather than up, but I also love that Marc sings the studio version way live. They both bring tears to my eyes.
@Black Dog dude he wasn't really trying to sound that much like Freddie as what you are saying. He has the same voice of a Freddie Mercury from his earlier years and yes I agree Freddie has more powerful voice and has larger vocal range due to him being a baritone while Marc Martel was a tenor that is why he can't sound totally the same as freddie
Also search "Ultimate Queen Medley" to see this live sessions band I forgot the name of, but wait till you get to B.R. you might have fun playing this video too ;)
@rieve steven Valdez Marc can play more instruments than freddie. Even freddie admitted that's he's not that good at instruments. And Marc ain't copying freddie, they just have similar voices.
I repeated eternally 5:11 to 5:30! You're really amazing! Not only making the impression of the voice of Freddie, but also having a really great vocal technique and playing the piano in one take! I'm really amazed.
@@marcfan1822 wow that is amazing the voice like Freddie Mercury and can play multiple instruments, if he was only 32 instead of 46, I'd have thought Freddie had been reincarnated.
This man really just did the piano parts, guitar parts, lead vocals and like 4 different backup singers parts all in one cover.. give this man some fucking credit
Marc sounds close to Freddie, but he has his own unique voice and he's definitely one of my favorites as far as voice goes. I like his own songs and would love to hear him cover "stand by me"
The day we lossed the greatest performer of all time God allowed his soul to find his way into your heart and allow him to live through you... Your voice is so absolutely Ela quint and solid, perfection and fluency in every note... My friend you are a star, your passion you where with every note & because of this " The show must go on" now it will... Thank you for blessing us all...
@Black Dog dude stop being so fucking toxic. Sure nobodey will ever be able to be as good as Freddie but you can at least say he's good and not fucking hate on him, and people who are being nice to him.
@Black Dog Okay, I don't really like him that much either but I at least thought he was kind of good and that you just hated on him. But now that you have explained I understand what you mean.
@Black Dog there are dozens of people that covered Freddie. Why especially target him? I bet you're one of those people who believe that Michael Jackson was a Pedophile.
He hit one slightly bad note on the piano at 5:08 but he made a heroic save and kept it going... that was awesome, you'd hate to lose it at the end after getting through the middle which is just brutally difficult.
Chrisko1492 a cover doesn't need to sound any different, it can be anything you want it to be. Marc is known for having a voice very similar to Freddie and he is paying respect by performing his songs in a similar way
His voice range is phenomenal... He resembles Freddie but the main thing is that he sings far better than many of his contemporary singers.... Marc deserves more
Did hard homework and it obviously worked out. I’m absolutely convinced this is Freddie making his way back to us.
Yes Ive thought the same.

Would actually make sense considering Marc's voice is in the movie, but I don't think Queen would go for it. They would not want to embarrass Lambert.
Nah, if that happens, they'll go with Adam Lambert as the new "official" lead singer of Queen. Even though Lambert himself is very proud, that he sounds nothing like Freddie.

I'd be honored if some Queen fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history who followed the trail that Freddie Mercury blazed. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Nope nope and no. Even I can do better than him.

@@Sarusoid Yeah I would love to hear you too man.
Nice job self promoting in the comments dude
You're the real deal. Perfecting Freddie AND Roger's falsetto. I would have once declared it impossible. *Eats words*
One year after my prior comment, I'm back. It's 12/2/24 and there are 58Million views on this. Collectively amongst the reactors this tops 100million views. Stunning. And people are still finding this for the first time.
58 million views!
@@ThatllShowEm Corrected. Thank you.
What did i just watch? Best cover ever, of all covers ever done. Of all songs. Ever.
Carolina Millan agreed
He sings for the "Bohemian Rhapsody" film😊
Jano Airsoft no they used Freddie’s voice
AidanComedy He sings as a vocal part of the film, in the vocals team.
This is not a cover, they used his voice and Freddie’s to make a little bit more modern sounding song.
His demeanor when he sings and his facial expressions is so Freddie Mercury its insane.
you wanna sing like freddie, you gotta channel him through you.
Resonance and facial expression go together many times...
Haha, so freddie mercury
@@pksferdinandd8227 Yes, it's this and also some intentional flair.
Like at 4:26 the "ohhh baby"
I think it's worth pointing out how ballsy it was to take on a song like this which typically has a huge instrumental accompaniment with just a piano and his voice. Truly fantastic.
Hey mark! Big fan
Queen themselves didn't play the middle part of BohRhap live at any of their shows that are posted on TH-cam... they just turned out the lights and cued up the studio version! Marc has broken new musical ground here... I'd be honored if some Queen fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest singer-songwriters in music history who followed the trail that Freddie Mercury blazed.

@@willritter4076 Watched play live in NYC decades ago.
The whole song was preformed on stage n sounded awesome.
Stop dragging life from your TH-cam experience.
Another fucking computer geek living in a basement.
Check panic! At the disco’s version of this!
Totally Not Mark yes!! Beautifully said!
This is nothing short of award winning! His piano skills and His voice being almost spot on to Freddie's is jaw dropping! I'm sure You've heard this plenty but Well done Marc!! 👏 👏👏👏
'Do whatever you want with my music. Just don't make it boring'

Then Queen used Adam Lambert... and Freddie said "I changed my mind... Just don't make it flaming"

Undoubtedly, this is the best bohemian rhapsody covers i have ever heard. Amazing.
el canto bohemian rhapsody en la pelicula de fredyy
I agree.
Even more mind blowing is to see Marc live!
why covers as in plural?
check this cover out he's a South Korean rock vocal: th-cam.com/video/M3k4iv1F9tc/w-d-xo.html
Who needs AI to recreate Freddies voice when you have this guy. Completely amazing
Gli rassomiglia pure se avesse i baffi.... straordinario.....👍💯peccato che non abbiano scelto lui i Queen....
@@lauradamico6587he is in the queen extravaganza featuring Brian may and Roger Taylor so technically is part of queen????
There's a really good AI cover of Freddie's voice singing Michael Jackson's "Thriller" which is actually pretty good, but I'd love for Marc to do his own cover of it!
What's funny is that Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones actually wanted Freddie to be a part of the original track.
Fuck AI
@@lauradamico6587visto lo spessore del personaggio, hanno preferito un attore professionista. Anche se per me Marc se la sarebbe cavata benissimo come attore
Oh my Gosh I'm shaking and crying right now! Feeling like I traveled to the past. Thank you for this. You're brilliant and so talented. God bless you and your career ❤
Why in the world would anybody give this a thumbs down? No one is saying that he's Freddy Mercury. No one is saying he's better, although that's subjective. He's not being disrespectful to Mercury. He is simply giving him a tip of the hat. Obviously a fan. Just enjoy this guys talent, passion, and INSANE voice. Bravo, Marc Martel!
I totally agree. I've been checking out Marc singing other Queen songs. Marc sings the high notes which Freddie hardly ever did live. I love the way Freddie went down rather than up, but I also love that Marc sings the studio version way live. They both bring tears to my eyes.
Plus he is the lead singer for Queen Extravaganza :)
Well said my friend
The guys who give thumbs down never said Marc pretends though
Bc they don't like it?
holy crap i can't imagine the skill to play the whole song perfectly with your eyes closed...and sing it so clean...hitting every note. just wow
Alcxy I don’t think they were closed I’m sure he was looking down at the keys
Tsuyu Asui and still doesnt easy to hit that
That's not too hard, practice babe
Abby69P if you know how to use the piano babe
Hanjin Quiocson yep, i play the piano. Sorry if i write something wrong, i speak spanish only hehe
I’m glad they used your voice for Bohemian Rhapsody and the Rami Malek actually shouted you out. You deserve every bit of success.
Did they actually do that
Yes zara
wait it was his voice? which they used in the movie"bohemian rhapsody"? Im subscribing
Shady Eita yes. They used a mix of his voice, Freddie's and ramis
@Epic Krafter watch the video "marc martel vs freddie mercury spectral pitch comparison" by realtoreelnz
1:42 sounded just like Freddie, gave me chills.

If you close your eyes in 1:01 he sounds almost like Freddie. Almost cause is impossible sounds like Freddie, but bro he is the best Freddie cover
Bruh i read this right when it turned and wow
he bettee than the original
rem-sama hantai no.
No....sound different
Almost is possible but it depends on people's voice
he actually sung the whole song! even the opera section. WOW

150th like on you and the comment above you.
Usually, I can't listen to Queen cover songs because nobody can replace Freddie. You're not the new Freddie, but boy, you're really good!
Watchmojo: Bohemian Rhapsody, the hardest song to cover.
Marc: Hold my mustache
Lmao
Why do I see pictures like ur icon ;-;
Alv
Hahahahaha
Maxmillian fanboy Kids like you make me sick
The neighbors must be so lucky hearing Freddie's voice next door
I think so
@Black Dog your comment here is the real shit.....
@Black Dog dude he wasn't really trying to sound that much like Freddie as what you are saying. He has the same voice of a Freddie Mercury from his earlier years and yes I agree Freddie has more powerful voice and has larger vocal range due to him being a baritone while Marc Martel was a tenor that is why he can't sound totally the same as freddie
Live: th-cam.com/video/oDGVjuwSizA/w-d-xo.html
@@SM-ch2kn He is another hater lmao, if Marc Martel don't sounds like Freddie then why he is in Queen Extravaganza? ;)
This is the best cover of bohemian rhapsody I've ever heard wow..
Also search "Ultimate Queen Medley" to see this live sessions band I forgot the name of, but wait till you get to B.R. you might have fun playing this video too ;)
Ok boomer
Well it's the best cover of the song ever done, so that makes sense...
Just search toadhemian rhapsody. THIS IS THE BEST COVER
The cover of the voice is insaneee
Наслаждаюсь, исполнение - высший пилотаж,для меня это подарок,Фреди был моим кумиром
I think Freddie would approve of your cover, Marc. Well done!
Marc buddy this is awesome good job
It's wonderful darling
i'm gonna cry ;-;
It’s great but still not as natural , to be natural we need 0 autotune

rieve steven Valdez
Marc is a better instrumentalist than Freddie.
rieve steven Valdez
You do realize that it is harder to play faster, right?
@rieve steven Valdez Freddie made many mistakes in his piano playing. But he didn't care.
rieve steven Valdez No he’s not that’s he’s natural sing voice so shut the fuck up loser don’t ever speak again you rotten little prick
@rieve steven Valdez Marc can play more instruments than freddie. Even freddie admitted that's he's not that good at instruments. And Marc ain't copying freddie, they just have similar voices.
1:45 That "carry on" isn't spot on.
It is the exact same pitch and intensity as fred, i'm speechless.
This did send shivers down my spine...wow.
I repeated eternally 5:11 to 5:30! You're really amazing! Not only making the impression of the voice of Freddie, but also having a really great vocal technique and playing the piano in one take! I'm really amazed.
JuanRetrofónico me too
Not one take, he says (not really)
@@seiayano1910 I think Juan means "in one play through". He definitely took many "takes" at playing straight through with no edits

OMG I've never heard anybody get so close to Freddie Mercury's voice than this guy and he can play the piano too .
Not just the piano : th-cam.com/video/bLMVnxcQ1HA/w-d-xo.html and quite a few other instruments besides. Marc is amazing.
@@marcfan1822 wow that is amazing the voice like Freddie Mercury and can play multiple instruments, if he was only 32 instead of 46, I'd have thought Freddie had been reincarnated.

try Valensia (with an S) Bohemian Rhapsody and see what you think
and his face
Watched and listened it with an open mouth... I could not believe that someone can be so close to Freddie like you. Respect and thank you!
Akcelerace Videoblogy I only realised my mouth was open the whole time when I read this comment
I close my eyes and I hear Freddie. So incredible fly high Freddie you are one of the greats. He would be amazed at this young man's voice
This man really just did the piano parts, guitar parts, lead vocals and like 4 different backup singers parts all in one cover.. give this man some fucking credit
Credit given
This is BETTER than the original.

Holy crap you're insane! I was comparing this to the original and my jaw dropped at how identical it was! Freddie would be very, very proud.
His voice was used for the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. The singing in the movie combined his voice with Rami and Freddie’s.
@@wendysmith279 I wouldn't doubt it!
Unbelievably talented and awesome :)
@@danielduplantier4526 Also on IMDB website under his own name or under Bohemian Rhapsody page. x
@@danielduplantier4526 and it's said on a few interviews with the actor who played Freddie.
Marc sounds close to Freddie, but he has his own unique voice and he's definitely one of my favorites as far as voice goes. I like his own songs and would love to hear him cover "stand by me"
Check version by Panic at the disco
panic at the disco is overrated
My school account i totally use for school you’re over rated 😂

Nice to see you here, Tina!
ya mbak betul
Mitoy yonting of the Philippines is more seminar voice to Freddie Mercury
As Freddie would say... "Do what you want with my music, just don't make it boring Darling." Freddy would approve I think.
And he never said darling at the end of that quote
@Black Dog dude stop being so fucking toxic. Sure nobodey will ever be able to be as good as Freddie but you can at least say he's good and not fucking hate on him, and people who are being nice to him.
@Black Dog Okay, I don't really like him that much either but I at least thought he was kind of good and that you just hated on him. But now that you have explained I understand what you mean.
@Black Dog also just because you don't like him you don't have to call him fat lol
@Black Dog there are dozens of people that covered Freddie. Why especially target him? I bet you're one of those people who believe that Michael Jackson was a Pedophile.
Before freddie died, he met this man and gave him a strand of his hair. Then this man ate it.
Ajeet Singh I think so
Haha love it
Wow

He doesn't deserve my like, he deserves my love
I just cant believe how he nailed ALL those insanely fluctuating notes while playing piano at the same time. We're not worthy
He hit one slightly bad note on the piano at 5:08 but he made a heroic save and kept it going... that was awesome, you'd hate to lose it at the end after getting through the middle which is just brutally difficult.
Amazing! Best cover ever! Brings Freddie back from the dead.
So here it is, finally. The best cover ever.
@@Chrisko1492 people want fredies voice and style,not some dude changing the whole song
Chrisko1492 a cover doesn't need to sound any different, it can be anything you want it to be. Marc is known for having a voice very similar to Freddie and he is paying respect by performing his songs in a similar way
I don't think freddie would want everyone to do an exact copy of his songs. They would want the artists to be creative.
W O O O S S S H H H
Panic! At The Disco? (the best by far)
The way he sings. How he shapes his mouth while singing is exactly like Freddie's.
Funny thing is that he kind of looks like Freddy too
Teeth
No, he doesn't look like Freddie, Freddie had perfect jawline and cheekbones and Marc doesn't 🙄
Nope not really
His piano skill is amazing
ADONARA SOLOR funny
Just like Freddie
Brilliant version. The words are so well articulated, and the piano is so true to the original.
Your voice is really close to Freddie's too, you're awesome .
this is the reborn of Freddie
theres very few people that can capture the same raw emotion in their voice that freddie could, and you are one of those people
@tom lewis I mean, he's prob the closest dude to freddie
His voice range is phenomenal... He resembles Freddie but the main thing is that he sings far better than many of his contemporary singers.... Marc deserves more
Deserve more, like what ?
agreed! he deserves much more kowledge
I've lost count how many times I've watched this video. Great cover. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
