Thank you for writing this song and singing it, sir. I miss real, beautiful music like this . Marc , like you, is a real vocalist and musician not like the avalanche of dross out there these days.
He’s an independent artist, so doesn’t have a big promotional team. I hope some day everyone gets to hear him. I’ve heard him live with his band and he is absolutely incredible.
awesome. I'm a musician. A death metal guitarist. I am a notorious metal head. That being said I've watched this video like 5 times in a row.. I recognize raw talent when I hear it. I just posted this on Facebook for my wife.. I am completely impressed.
supernaturalterror 420 .....I also play guitar and am also a metal head. Was fortunate to have seen Pantera on their first Cowboys from Hell tour back in 1991, been to a lot of concerts throughout my life and still today that was hands down the best show ever ! R.I..P. Dime. With that said I totally agree, I think people that play any instrument ( or vocalists ) have a better understanding of awesome talent when we hear it. I’ve watched this video many times in the year and is probably my favorite Marc video out there including all his Queen stuff. Amazing how this video still don’t have a million views yet....goes to show people don’t get it. I like Marc’s cover of this song more than the original, nothing against Seal but not really my thing, more of a rock n roll, blues, heavy metal, grunge type guy. Never really got much into death metal but I can dig some of it. Pantera, Disturbed, Slipnot about as heavy as I get lol 🤘✌️
Marc is a shooting star... amazing...and i wish more people would get to know his work and see how amazing he is... just got to see him live last night doing his Queen show.... one of the best singers i have ever seen of heard ... goosebumps as soon as he started singing he sounds so much like Freddie ..
Who disliked this?? This was an AMAZING cover! No auto tune; just raw talent with an excellent use of vocal range. Many people can’t do this song’ its justice, but I’m sure Seal himself would be proud!
Not just on TH-cam. He performs all over the world and has been releasing a large discography since 1999. He’s worked on a Jazz song recently and currently working on a rock opera collaboration EP.
I saw him in concert a couple of weeks ago at Thunder Valley casino and it was beyond amazing!!!! I also heard him sing for the first time on a Michael W Smith Christmas special. I can’t wait to him him in concert again!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That's the way it should be. I'm a pianist and singer. I play and sing in restaurants. Just the piano and my voice. No background instruments or drums or backing vocals. It's definitely harder to find work that way, but I'm not a one man band kind of guy. I do it straight up...sing n play. And so much of the acts that get hired always have loud backing tracks and they are sitting at their instrument playing the instrument but yet you hear the whole karaoke track playing. I hate that.
Because the general public doesnt care about talent. They're too busy jerking it to Just Beiber or the Kardashians. Marc Martel is easily the greatest singer since Freddie Mercury.
Someone below hit the nail on the head! No one really cares about talent anymore...I have been in the fuckin music business for over 35 years, and I still set my friggin alarm clock for 5:00AM Monday through Friday for my day job. While I certainly do love being a guitarist and professional recording artist, I am also very aware that the music business is a bunch of phony shit! On a postive note in regard to Marc Martel, I used to manage a music store/school in Tarrytown NY. Marc played just across the street at the Music Hall with "The Queen Extravaganza" He and the entire band came into the music store earlier that day to check out some instruments and hang out etc...I had the pleasure of meeting him and the band. Marc was a gentlemen for sure! Good people. Their at that time guitarist (Brian) Hooked my wife and I up with Orchestra seats for the show that night!...Was a real pleasure to see and hear Marc perform live! You are all correct! Marc should be VERY FAMOUS BY NOW! Unfortunately, this is the nasty nature of the music industry beast! He is well deserving of a top notch music career of his own! (Kudos to Marc for another fine video above here as well!) Nice work as usual Marc!
JLed425 oh just say it out loud that today in order to make a career You have to do what the inudstry wants you to do. This guy is too damn a good of a person to step into that shit.
Say whaaaaaaat??! Seriously. Dude. You blew it out of the water. I think Marc could sing the phone book and sell the recording. I know no one else who can take a hit and sing it equally if not better.
Better than most of the "famous" names on major contracts at the moment . Marc is a true musician and truly gifted vocalist rather than one of today's digital illusions.
It's a shame for the world. We have popular singers who can't give to people any of true deep emotions to a heart. And we loose such great voices on the space of internet, who can truly influence on our lives making such covers. the taste of music of Marc is totally 10 0f 10. Seal/ George Michael/ REM/Dolores O Riordan......Everyone of this list is an icon. Wish Marc could achive the same level of recognition.
Born 40 years ago this guy would be one our living legends today.....unfortunately this world is now overpopulated with youtube clowns making millions with no talent whatsoever. Apologies for the rant, I'm in a mood.
But youtube is a great way to build an audience. 40 years ago, he would be just another car mechanic or roofer who has an incredible talent and no audience.
@@fighterrrx Aye, I believe he lives a pretty clean life, no smoking, not really drinking etc. If you keep up a healthy lifestyle (and you have your genes working with you), you can look young up to quite an old age.
Rant appreciated. Heads need to be put on our shoulders again. These smoke and mirrors in the yt clowns confuse so much. We compare to “the perfect life” and feel we will never be able to hit it only ro discover that that perfect life does not exists (it is just its mise en scene). (What makes it look perfect is that it’s put out there in a scene.) Why would the same life be lame when not represented in media and “cool” when represented?? (Even in many tiktoks what is represented is frustration and lameness and somehow that makes the lameness cool??) I am so confused these days. - Changing subjects, what a recomforting voice.
5 years later, just came here for the second time to hear this again and let you know Marc, that in addition to others' comments on your super nice voice, the song picking is spot on. Seal's song is definitely magical and works so well with your voice and the general performance. KUDOS MA MAN
Amazing talent. I am old and lucky enough to have seen Freddie up close in 1976..like 30 feet away..doing the Night at the Opera song list with Queen in a concert & I will truly take to my grave as a fantastic life memory.......then I saw Mark a few months ago...MARK is the real deal...I saw Freddie up close, heard him up close and Marc is the reincarnation of Freddie's larynx!! Seriously this is the REAL DEAL...No other vocalist other George Michael, who was VERY close technically on 'Somebody to love' did as well.....MARC is the best rendition of Freddie both vocally and a couple of times in his show his actual physical mannerisms pop out as a 'Freddie' moment. He may not KNOW HE'S DOING IT.....but Freddie does.
Whatever Marc is doing to "channel" Freddie comes naturally, it seems. Too young to have seen Freddie Mercury live, myself, but I've heard similar comments from older fans at Marc's shows. As much as I see and hear Marc trying to be himself, people see Freddie through his moves and hear Freddie in his voice. I can't help but wish him the best in all that he does. He's been given a gift of a voice, and keeps honing his musicianship and skills as a frontman, and making the most of it.
@@ThatllShowEm Upvoted :) Also, now that I think about it, there was actually an episode of "The Outer Limits" with a story very similar - "leaping" and "channelling" of the late musician.
I can not understand why there are still haters existing in this wonderful planet...Even how good this talent here,but still you cant please everybody..Sad but true...
This is the best thing I've seen so far this month...and for anything to surpass it would probably have to be seeing the winning lottery numbers match my up to my ticket in my hand...
Enjoy Marc's 90's cover series, "My Way vol. 1" cover album, George Michael covers, The Cranberries cover with Leigh Nash, and Viva Las Vegas cover. Make sure to check out his "I Will Always Love You" cover too.
He commands a presence few others have ever achieved. We are a better world for his desire to share his talents with us. Check out his originals. They belong at the top of the charts
Marc your voice is sublime...it gives me chills & singing this all the hairs on my arms stood to attention... didn't think anyone could touch Freddie but I think you're at the very least on a par with him & I lOVE your voice. Particularly love Hallelujiah & Kiss from a Rose @~~>~~>~~>

We don't need AI cover from Freddy Mercury singing this theme.
We have Mr Martel
He is literally the best singer on youtube.
I agree
Only on TH-cam? He is amazing! I love listening to every song he sings. He is damn. Amazing.
Also Pellek
no
Amen to dat
This feels like Freddie Mercury covering Seal’s greatest hit!!!!!! 😍
Spot on, homie... He even looks like FM!
yess indeed 😀
@@ToddPressleyy he does look similar. it's crazy. I saw him and his band perform, and I almost feel like I've seen Queen perform. They're so good!!
He literally helped make the music for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. haha
He is even more handsome than Freddy. 😮
Came back and watched this again brother. You CRUSH!!! (And I would know, I wrote it!)
Thank you for writing this song and singing it, sir. I miss real, beautiful music like this . Marc , like you, is a real vocalist and musician not like the avalanche of dross out there these days.
Seriously
Why isn't this guy so very famous everywhere?
He should!
He's so talented!
He’s an independent artist, so doesn’t have a big promotional team. I hope some day everyone gets to hear him. I’ve heard him live with his band and he is absolutely incredible.
@@Flor_2 Lucky girl!
Will Lord and his concerts are booked two years in advance. He performed for 1/4 million people in 2019 alone. He is more than a TH-camr. 😃
Cause he's a Christian
I don't know why I like this version
He is perfection, his voice, his abilities, his is really blessed isn’t just with the voice.
Because it's wonderful?
Because Marc doesn't just cover songs, he lifts them up to a new level...
I’ve watched this probably 15 times over the years and it still gives me chills
This is a difficult song to sing. He sings it and plays it. Marc, very special you are. Super!
That voice is unreal
Amazing again. It's almost like listening Freddie sing Seal.
Marc is the best singer.. His tone, his sound, power... Just brilliant
close your eyes,and enjoying "freddie" singing the seal song
exactly :)
My thought right before reading this comment
No , his voice is different ,It can be heard clearly. He has certain similarity with Freddie, he has a talent
Thought the same thing
Yes!!!! I'm in love

Absolutely beautiful
I shared this with my dad Marc. (he's 78) and he loved it and called me to say he was blown away by your voice. thank you. :)
God spilled the ''talent'' cup by mistake when making this guy.
I love the fact, no matter what he sings I hear Freddie Mercury, such an amazing voice! Love it.
almost no effort in every time he blasting his voice power. what a heaven voice...
Marc is a shooting star... amazing...and i wish more people would get to know his work and see how amazing he is... just got to see him live last night doing his Queen show.... one of the best singers i have ever seen of heard ... goosebumps as soon as he started singing he sounds so much like Freddie ..

Seal would be in awe, just like Celine Dion.
Thudas22 agreed, I personally like Marc’s raw version better than Seal’s studio version.
People who love auto tuned bs. And or panic at the disco/brendon urie fans
He has his own version. He sings very well ! !!
somebody jealous of his talent
One of the best singers of today. Fantastic song, beautiful voice and interpretation.
One of the best voices on TH-cam. Amazing singer❤
Not just on TH-cam. He performs all over the world and has been releasing a large discography since 1999. He’s worked on a Jazz song recently and currently working on a rock opera collaboration EP.

Wonderful! Marc martel I love you!❤ from Brazil!
wow... thanks youtube for recommending me this 2015 video! your evil algorithm gets it right every now and again
so Mark Martel. Mate... you're a legend. a real legend. a real hope for this wrong world
Uwwww goosebumps....🥺🥺
guaranteed to blow your mind!
where have I heard that line before.. :)
You have great diction which is very appreciated by non-native English speakers like myself.
Indeed. In this version i can actually hear what the lyrics are
@@marnixprovoost7961 Yes!
Thank you Marc, , ,

I never get bored, even after listening to this song for the hundredth time.
Best cover ever.....
Over one million of views. How wonderful.
Dude.. wow! With just a guitar, no back vocals, no auto-tune, no chance to clean some parts. Amazing! Keep singing brother, it's a blessing!
Just a man with a gift for music no gimmicks no bull shit or tricks just a gift
