George Michael is probably my OG singing influence, unless I count Michael Jackson (which, maybe I do, maybe I don’t). My first memories of George Michael were when he was taking over radio as a solo artist, so definitively, that it was even causing a bit of a stir down at Royal Charles Elementary School. I was a tall, excruciatingly shy 5th grader with a gargantuan crush on Lindsay Armstrong, in a split classroom, where all the grade-sixers - who were cool enough - were listening to this new rebellious, leather jacketed, aviator glasses-wearing artist with a spectacular hairdo, singing about super edgy stuff that I was pretty sure my parents didn’t want me hearing. But he had THE warmest, softest voice I’d ever heard, which somehow also dripped heavy with attitude. Of course, I had zero awareness that he was already a huge pop star from his time in Wham!, and I was a bit too young to really dive into his debut album, Faith, when it released, but by the time Listen Without Prejudice, Vol.1 came out, I was all in. Michael is particularly impressive to me, since he was one of the rare pop icons who was also what I’d consider a true artist, having written most of the material he recorded.
Some of you may not be terribly surprised to know that the George Michael/Elton John duet version of “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” was the first I ever heard of the song. I somehow missed John’s original version, much like how I missed “Bohemian Rhapsody” the first time around. And don’t get me started on hearing “Ice Ice Baby” loooong before “Under Pressure.” I might have to bust out a little alright-stop-collaborate-and-listen on yo’…
Oh, HANG ON… was I sheltered as a child?! MOM?! DAD?!
Anyways.
All that, to say I loved this song from the first time it entered my cerebellum. My brother and I would sing it around the house, taking turns being George and Elton. Yeah, we did. Just a huge, huge vocal song. And George put it on the map for me. - เพลง
And "I'm Still Standing" please Marc
ItsNightmare85 yessss
And bennie and the jets
My favorite!
Yesss!!!
That would be awesome.
I can’t explain why I was expecting him to say “ladies and gentlemen Mr Elton John” after the first chorus 😂
Me too 😅😅😅😂😂😂
LMAO SAME
That’s cos you’re used to the live version.
That's SIR Elton John!
Instead he changed the pitch of his voice to sound more like Sir Elton... absolutely fabulous
I think Marc is an exceptional pianist. Even if he didn’t sing, his piano skills would still turn heads.
I wonder if Elton has seen this knowing how close he and freddie were. Someone needs to show this to Elton. How is it possible to sound like Elton, George, and Freddie combined? Whoa
This is awesome. A guy who sounds like Freddie Mercury, doing an Elton John song, sung by George Michael.
He should be called Farrokh Dwait Panayiotou.
Hahaha way too deaf tone to say he sounds like Freddie , of course if you don't have any musical training any singer will sound the same to you... hahahhaaha
@@DeuSJaguaR you do know the truth, master...
:P
Yeah that instrument sounds like piano as well😑
Freddie Mercury didn't sing so well like this guy...
I can hear Freddie, Elton, and George in your voice, crazy
Eu também
Definiu muito bem
Sorry, but george michael, he cannot do....
My thoughts exactly! He found his niche!
Not to mention his mad musicianship...makes it look so easy to combine both!
I felt the same!
Marc is seriously one of the most talented vocalists I’ve ever seen or heard. It’s insane that he is not superstar status, it’s like listening to George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Elton John all in one!!
Completely under appreciated!
And don't forget: he's an absolutely brilliant pianist!
@@Schmidthorst69 damn skippy my friend!
Truly!
Agreed
Marc is the most versatile singer I have ever heard.
He really really is : th-cam.com/video/rC8dU6xlCtk/w-d-xo.html
Why Marc is not the biggest superstar on the planet is a tragedy
because superstars, this is a business and marketing, there are millions of talents in the world that no one knows about
Thank God coz youtube exist.
Because he didn‘t COMPOSE all these songs he is playing and singing so genial.
And you permanently have the impression it‘s Freddy.
Because none told that, for example, George Michael sounds like someone else and singing someone else`s songs. And that`s what Marc usually does.
If Marc has his own strong repertoire and unique voice, then he would have a chance.

I am 68 years old, and have listened to music all my life. Pop, do-wop, rock, gospel, folk and country. I have never heard a male voice better than this, and only two or three as good.
If you like Christmas music, you should check out Marc’s recordings. He releases new ones every year and there are some beautiful performances in there.
I'm 72 and have been involved in the music industry for 50+ years of that. And, I AGREE!
@@Superspockmanhis voice is absolutely gorgeous.
As a 33 years old i can t say i know as much as you guys .
I know MJ existed and others too but for me N1 freddy N2 Marc 😊
I love his voice
I’m 10 yrs older and agree with all you said and his casual playing whilst singing is outstanding.
😳😳😳 what the hell did i just watch. dude is FLAWLESS.
Can we also talk about his piano skills??? This is literally the exact arrangement. Perfect! And of course his voice. Unreal.
Dood is mindblowing. And *what* a rendition of one of the greatest duets I've ever seen. When my eyes are closed i swear it's George Michael and Elton.
Yes!!
This is the ONLY cover I’ve ever heard of this song that’s worthy of both George and Elton. Wow!
I heard his acoustic guitar Freedom cover and it’s also amazing. My jaw dropped and I actually got weepy.
Beautiful
His piano skills is so underappreciated. That's how great he is.
Not any more.
Please stop these RIDICULOUS “underrated” comments with every artist. Not because it’s the first time YOU see or hear him that he’s underrated.
He has kept Freddie Mercury and George Michael alive for us❤❤❤
When God was handing out talent, Marc clearly visited the line multiple times...
Snuck a double portion
Best thing I've ever heard in last 5 years.
Going to see a Marc Martel concert is like seeing a Freddie Mercury, Queen, Elton John, George Michael, Marc Martel Concert for the price of one. Wow.
Totally worth the price of admission!
@@ThatllShowEm Согласна. Но и выход ценится также!?
I saw him live in Wellington New Zealand. It was magic was on a music induced high for hours. He is amazing😊
Went to Marc Martel concert in Peachtree City a few years back. I didn’t think it was possible to be that close to Mercury, but he was perfect.
Saw this phantastic singer in Frankfurt last saturday. Freddie smiles when hearing him presenting Bohemian Rhapsody.
I've just recently been shown this sensational singer and I'm like where the heck have I been? I've never heard of him before until recently. Just so amazingly blessed!
His voice is so clean, pure, powerful and on key. He's proof that being incredibly talented doesn't necessarily mean you'll be famous. If it was, he'd certified triple diamond in sales awards.
Check out his cover of U2’s Bad! 🤯
@@artfulstories It is basically true that in order to become famous in music you need to be somewhat original. And Martel would go nowhere in terms of popularity with his original "music"
@@pantelisdalezios811 actually Elvis Presley became very famous and he only mostly sang other people's songs
My heart goes out to the people that could not experience the joy of listening to the music of Elton John, the words of Bernie Taupin, and the voice of Marc Martel and thereby hit the thumbs down button. May you find something in the world that can bring you pleasure if this can not. Good luck, I wish you well.
Dude's a freak of nature! I also still miss his work with DownHere. 😞
Without a doubt, Marc is one of the best singers/vocalists out there. And, when it comes to singing Queen songs and sounding like Freddie, nobody is better than Marc. AMAZING!!
So much talk about his voice, but this guy is a superb musician as well.
Exactly! Check out his former band Downhere. They won a lot of awards for their original music.
+1
Good grief! His voice!!! AND he plays piano and guitar! Thank you, Marc, for sharing your unbelievably gorgeous God-given voice!
what in the world..... i'm just now finding this unbelievable talent now!!! why???
this is phenomenal.
OMG, a blind of George Michael and Elton John in voice. How can it be???
I close my eyes...And Freddie sings Elton's song! That's great!!!
it was an honor for me to see this video. thank you and greets from bavaria
I saw him live January 7th 2023 in rancho mirage. A vision of queen was amazing to say the least. I would love to here this song done by the band. Marc is talented it makes me want to stop playing music all together. Keep up the good work Marc !
Did you know he's back January 6th? His first show of 2024. 😊🎉
No AI will ever supersede a musical soul. Man, you've really got it. Hope see you soon again in Brazil.
Marc has it's own greatness. He is so great he is even able to give us the next future songs that Freddie couldn't.
That's the true Freddie's legacy.
I've always wanted George Michael to do a solo version of this song and wow... This is by far the closest. Amazing.
Holy S*! 50-year Elton fan here and big fan of George's as well and this is just amazing.
Someone used this song by Marc Martel and said its a Freddie Mercury IA Cover. But I know the difference between Freddie, Marc, and de "ia".
Not just the voice, this guy is a super talented musician!!!! Record producers, what the f..are u waiting for????
Nowadays, to be ignored by record producers is a compliment. Just look at the garbage they promote!
@@morriswilburn9858 Straight Facts
Best voice on the Planet!!
It is hilarious that all week the so called pop stars have been crying over who should have gotten a Grammy, all the while this guy is 10x better than anyone in that Grammy awards clique.
With a voice and talent like that Marc should be an international Superstar.
He is getting there.
The problem IS,He sounds like Mercury(vibrato)&Michael.People wanna hear somebody different,AND a SONGWRITER.Same with M.Cavanaugh.
He can sing anyone he chooses. His talent is amazing and underrated. Is it jealousy I wonder.
No edits/cuts. Just a one-take straight shoot. Mad respect.
Several retakes beforehand*
Lunatik oh you were there were you.
@@WildChuco Well he had to practice the song first..
@@Lunatikk EVERY serious musician practices his craft to perfection. They don't just practice until they get it right, they practice until they can never get it wrong! Talent is bread from the highest determination to perfect one's craft!
Miguel Jacinto one-take, meaning no over-dubbing, no editing.
Man... your voice and interpretation, your feeling, note tuning, and your respect for the composers and orginal interpreters, is totally awesome... thank you for so much passion in your work....
wow wow wow wow wow!!!!
Wow! I think I just had a religious experience. When background music is piped into your working ear, you close your eyes and flow with the song. Wonderful.
Great job on them keys and your voice is spot on. Don’t be surprised if Elton John himself called you to tell you. Great job Marc.
Shout out and Big Love for Marc - I wish you well Marc.
Brilliant. Even the first few notes on the Princess Diana told you what he was about to sing.
Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Marc Martel!
Vocals aside. Extremely talented with piano skills. Rock on Marc 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Marc Martel is already a Rockstar
You need to sing this when you come to Rio, please!!! The crowd will bow to you. Brilliant!!
How this guy continues to stay humble--with all of his talent and accomplishments--is truly astonishing.
Top 10 best voices on the planet right now.
top 1 kek
Nope, he's top 1. Everyone else pales.
Best!
As his voice is so good people often overlook he is a brilliant piano player and his guitar playing is also up there too.
His piano skills are excellent, beyond excellent!
He’s a poly genius! So much talent, so little appreciation.
George would of been proud and Elton is certainly proud of this performance. You sir are exceptional..
Let's also appreciate how spot on his piano playing is! Superb!!
Seconded. It's superb.
Marc I would pay to see you!!! You are just amazing!
Marc has one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard! His talent is off the charts and so effortless, astounding!!
so real!
You my friend are a blessing to everyone on this planet, Freddie and George would be proud of you. PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING. Big love from Scotland ❤
This was my favourite George Michael song together with Someone To Love he performed with Queen for Freddie’s memorial concert at Wembley stadium. You sound fantastic.
I literally stumbled onto this amazing singer. I'm in shock.
Welcome to the rabbit hole! He currently has 123 videos here on his channel. Don't forget to eat and sleep every once in a while. 😂
I know he isn't a famous singer selling artist but he is one of my favourite singers and is much better than a lot of artists out at there the minute. He needs a good record lable behind him.
He's had a record label. He was in a Christian band called " Down Here". Great band. They took a break in 2011.
We all know his great vocals but his piano skills are always accurate as well, what accuracy and skill.
Not easy to be this flawless on piano while singing.
Awesome..
wow....i was lost and just gave up and soared for a few minutes. youre incredible thank you Marc
People like Marc are the ones who make the almost impossible look easy. What a voice OMG.
THannkyou Mark Martel that was beurifull, very well done. I look forward to being in the audience at your concerts. Much apriciated.
Liked & Subscribed.
This man that no one knows has the most pure beautiful voice! My favorite singer!
i am a big fan❤❤❤❤❤❤
You certainly did this song a great justice! George and Elton would surely approve!
One of the greatest voices on the planet.
I could care less who he sounds like. This is simply amazing talent, well done Marc!
That is a masterclass performance! No judging, just enjoy pure talent.
Marc, you are a true treasure!💗
Entertainment industry is freaking out of their minds for not having this guy a super star by now.
It’s unfortunately a current market of untalented to moderately talented but super pretty people. They sing all the songs they don’t write and wear all the clothing labels to sell for next season.
His lack of mainstream stardom is truly mystifying given his immense musical and singing talent.
Maybe because it's not authoral
Visiting Marc here is like meeting Freedie and George in one person.. Just too good to be true
George would love your cover .great job
Marc Martel is one of most beautiful voice and inspirational artist of these days. What a talent!
In my country (Brazil) we would say "you're a monster", And believe me this could be the best complement somebody could get.
The only version of this song I was listening to is the one from George Michael for years and years and now here's another one I'll be listening to, thank you.
ohhhhhhh Hell yeah. U are bad ass man. Like the style...
That was just great. I love this song by Elton John and George Michael did a great job on it. It sounds like Michael is singing.
Marc Martel is so talented in everything he does! Beautiful ❤️ Singer and beautiful 🎹 pianist. He is truly gifted!
Is there no end to this guys talent? Unbelievable!
I wouldn't bet agaisnt him! Well... neurosurgery... rocket science, and possibly a few subfields of quantum mechanics. But music??? He ain't Effin around, is he?!
This is just beautiful you don't hear no days. majority of "singers" in today's time actually playing instruments and using vocals. Now does its just auto tune and playing music in the computer
How anyone can thumb this down is insane. Fantastic cover of Elton John and George Michael. Would like to see more George Michael covers.
Haters can only click a button and stew in their own vindictive juices. Marc will go on being gifted and amazing and still always managing to stay humble and kind. Something haters will never understand or be. Consider that Avett, the visually impaired then six year old who tackled playing the piano and singing Bohemian Rhapsody has 16,000 downvotes from sorry humanity. I personally think downvote buttons should be banned. Either you like it or you skip to something else.
have you seen his other GM covers? Search Marc Martel + Freedom 90 or Last Christmas or Mother's Pride or One More Try .
@@marcfan1822 Thanks for letting me know will definitely look these up. Maybe one of these days Marc will do a cover of Kissing a Fool
@@goodmarketingmorning7725 he just did a snippet of that song a few days ago to compare microphones. It sound beautiful 🤩
I just discovered this singer today...and I'm crying he's so good
Welcome to the elite club! Enjoy his channel and all the fan posted live videos. SO MUCH GREATNESS!
I’ve seen him live with his Queen tribute band and he is so amazing! I hope he tours with his original music some day. He has some wonderful tunes ❤❤
How hard is it to play like this and sing pitch perfect?
Marc: No.
It is sooo gooood Marc!
Their is so much sunshine and warmth in your voice just like the great George Michaels voice. Love both your voices. I hope to sing as well as you both one day. hahahahha
I was a fan when you were in Downhere. I knew then that voice was going far!!
Please sing: rocket man or your song or tiny dacer 🙏
Rocket man!
Curitiba yes Rocketman
Tiny dancer would be a m a z i n g
bennie and the jets goodbye yelloe brick roads pleasee!!!!
Saturday night
Oh, come on Marc. That's absurdly beautiful.
just wowwwwww!!!!
this song usually makes me misty eyed. today i bawled.
How are you not the most popular singer in the world???
He is to me, and I spread the enjoyment to all who love music.
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
Don't let the sun go down on me
(Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
(Don't let the sun)
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Don't let the sun go down on me
(Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
(Don't let the sun)
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
how does this not have millions of views?
Fantastic man👍👍. You really sound like Freddy Mercury. Well done brother 👌👌
The Marc Martel is amazing. Everything he plays turns to gold.
C'mon, Marc... How much perfection do you expect us to take? Crazy talented.
All I have to say is 👍💖👍💖👍💖☀️💖☀️💖👍☀️👍👍💖👍👍👍👍💖💖👍👍👍💖👍💖👍💖☀️💖👍👍💖👍👍💖💖👍👍👍 awesome!
