This is 100% Marc's natural voice, so this time any similarity to Freddie is purely coincidental (and totally real). In other words, he is not trying to sound like Freddie, the voice is what it is.
I meet Marc Martel 9 years ago and he was talking to me to till 20 minutes. He was amazing to me and his beautiful blue eyes of his own perfect ocean waves in his eyes. I love Marc Martel so damn much and I won't forget the way I met him and DownHere too.It was a blessing for me.
@@ialwi4262 nah fr, those chords are hella creative and not at all normal. Like really. Most of the time u can see/hear someone play something and play the same thing from what they’re playing, here what he’s playing is weird and new and I couldn’t do that. It’s actually quite nice I wanna try and figure it out for myself coz it sounds really good, but depends how lazy I am haha
As I said once before, I hope people remember and love you not only because your similarities with Freddie, but because you're amazing no matter what you're singing!
If you just close your eyes you can hear Freddie covering the Goo Goo Dolls for brief moments, but hear most of Marc and his lovely voice. The fact that he does sound like Freddie is purely coincidental and in this video it’s evident that he doesn’t push for it. That’s really his voice . It makes me smile a bit! ❤️
People should stop mentioning Freddie everytime they're talking about Marc's voice. Just appreciate his talent and his voice. He's not the second Freddie but he's the first Marc Martel.
Goo Goo Dolls have been my favorite band since I was 5 years old, honestly didn't think I'd appreciate a cover by anyone, but that was just beautiful. Thank you.
Sitting here..Goo Goo Dolls Iris cover.. pops random feed...10 sec in.. this guy sounds hauntingly like Freddie Mercury.. like a surreal dream.. so I say to myself.. am I going crazy.. let's scroll down to the comments.. ok I am not going crazy.. Great cover! Wonderful voice! Keep singing songs and playing music. It was beautiful.
You are a perfect singer. Your voice is incredible and you don't have to hide behind another singer or band . You are a professional singer and you are complete. Sing your own songs like a professional singer. Congratulations, because you have a natural gift, your wonderful voice !! Once again, congratulations, from Brazil (Brazil) !! ...
I was really curious to see what he sounds like on a non-Queen cover. And here he is, he is not imitating Freddie, his voice naturally just sounds like him. Amazing. The hard work he has put behind his singing skills pays off, and people tend to like him 'cause he reminds them a legendary artist. And it's hard to believe that 22 years ago he sounded almost as good as he does now!!! God bless him.
1998 isn't when this was recorded, that's just the year the original song is from. Same goes for the 7 or 8 videos before this one with 1990s dates in the title.
The first album he recorded was with his band Downhere in 2001. Marc has said in interviews he more fully discovered his own voice by their third album, which was Wide-Eyed and Mystified, recorded in 2006. He sounds very similar here, but he's also getting better and better, imo. I think of his latest Christmas recordings: Stevie Wonder's What Christmas Means to Me and The Grinch...so much variety! @@executor32
@@artfulstoriesFirst album was in 1999! The second album, "So Much For Substitutes" was released in 2003, and you can already hear some similarities to Freddie in Marc's voice. By the third album, you can hear more Queen influences (stacked vocals and tighter harmonies) in the overall tracks.
Marc, step way this tunnel of time gifts of your performance. Thank's man. Today was not a great day for me, but now, i have listen this song and all are great again. Hugs.
Literally spent an hour listening to you on repeat then this song popped up in recommend so i seached for covers and guess who popped up... Your voice is so powerful i love it
I know this guy is not trying to sound like Freddie. But I can so imagine Freddie singing this song this good like him. I bow to you sir. Awesome cover🤘🏽
Qanissa Aghara have you bought his music yet? Show him love in a practical way. :) Available on all major music platforms. His Impersonator album is incredible!
Man, every time I hear you sing the more I fall in love with music and singing. You´re an artist and inspiration who can touch people through music, real appreciation for your work. Come to Brazil some time man, I´m sure I´m speaking for a lot of brazilians when I say that having the opportunity to watch you live would be amazing.
No fancy backing instruments, just the raw beauty of an amazing voice and well played guitar

Some people are really dumb, apparently.
exactly
EXACTLY!
In this 90's covers I can't hear that "Freddie sound" that everyone says
@@AndresRodriguez-de3tg it's okay, it's not your fault...
You're the closest to Freddie that we'll ever hear and I don't want to go home right now.
I see what you did there.
@@ThatllShowEm Guilty as charged.
Life aint fair!!!
😂amazing!
LOL. You clever bastard.
Extra points for singing the guitar solo!
Amazing the "guitar solo!"
Except he didn't sing the whole thing, that disappointed me, lol.
@@robshred66 because that is just energy wasted. The solo is great but it was long so singing the full solo is pointless
Tim would be proud!
That voice is a gift from God.
BDazzled Designs is aids a gift from god too
AiDs
Gives kids cancers, but thank fuck he let this bloke have some pipes.
God doesn’t give people diseases. God Bless 💕
Ur voice too
A rare footage of Freddie Mercury covering Iris by GooGoo dolls.
😅😅😅
So true
Lol
Hahahaha nailed it
Damn 😢
Its Goo Goo Dolls and suddenly at the chorus its like he channeled Freddie Mercury!
No channeling necessary, it is his natural voice.
It's so fucking amazing.
Is it normal that I just cried hearing this... It was so beautiful, I have never felt so delightful by hearing a cover.
Totally normal. 🥹

you've been blessed darling
Lucky you. ;-)
Also, his guitar playing is 100%
if u say so

Marc is so underrated. I'm binging your videos :) true artist.
You and the way you sing your songs are a gift from God !!!! 😄🎶🎵👍
Freddie and Marc joining forces… so glad to have you both here😻😻
ohh one of my favourite songs!
Sounds like Freddie Mercury doing Goo Goo Dolls
Holy shit!
Sings it better!
I thought the same thing! lmao
Marc Martel is a Freddie impersonator, check his "Don't Stop Me Now" videoclip
TheFilyng
He's not impersonating anyone in this though. It's just his voice.
2024 09😮 awesome cover. Amazing voice!
As I said once before, I hope people remember and love you not only because your similarities with Freddie, but because you're amazing no matter what you're singing!
I NEED THIS COVER IN SPOTIFY. Pls🥺🥺
I can’t stop listening to this song
I've heard this song like a milion times, but after watching this video it's the first time I think I undestood it
Marc's pronunciation is a beautiful as his tone.
This is an amazing cover. That flawless vocal rendition of the guitar solo in the bridge section gave me goosebumps. Incredible performer.

why hasn't the world? Answer: He has true talent, and makes the current crop of media created stars look like the amateurs they are.
He's also been in a band called DownHere and they had several songs that were played quite a bit on Christian radio.
Qanissa Aghara have you bought his music yet? Show him love in a practical way. :) Available on all major music platforms. His Impersonator album is incredible!
Marc is a one of a kind talent. Voice, guitar, piano, voice... Did I mention voice?
Same...same!
This guy never disappoints. What an incredible talent Mr. Martel is. Keep these videos coming. He inspires me to play my guitar more.
Man, every time I hear you sing the more I fall in love with music and singing. You´re an artist and inspiration who can touch people through music, real appreciation for your work. Come to Brazil some time man, I´m sure I´m speaking for a lot of brazilians when I say that having the opportunity to watch you live would be amazing.
No words can describe how wonderful you sing.
My God bless you and turn you to him you got so much talent
