Director Reacts - Marc Martel - 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (Cover) 

Marc Martel is the only person who sings Freddie so similarly.

Worth noting that he is also playing the piano in this single take performance!

I’ve seen Marc live and he’s the real deal man. Check out his originals & other covers. Dude is an absolute talent.

Marc is playing a crazy piano while singing. He hits notes Freddie would struggle with at times.

Saw Mark Last week with his Queen Band One Vision. Incredible Voice and humble human. This man is blessed and can sing ANYTHING!

His "Somebody To Love" and "Under Pressure" covers are sublime.

Its amazing how much Freddie sounded like Marc

he has THE SAME VOCAL TOOLS as Freddie had. Teeth, jaw, nose. GOD DAMN!!!!!!

The expressions on your face & your words speak for all of us the first time hearing MM

Why Queen hired Lambert is beyond me. He does a musical theatre parody of Freddie - I wouldn't pay a dollar to see that show. I'd pay $500 to see Martel with them. Adam is clearly technically a talented vocalist, just like Joe Satriani is a talented guitarist. But both of them make my ears bleed.

Glad you’re appreciating this one take by Marc Martel. So talented, musician’s mind as well.

I don't know if anyone already mentioned this but Marc was the "additional voices" on the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie

Really dug your reaction, mate! Martel is a bloody unicorn in the world of music: there is nothing he can’t do. Sick! Seen him live multiple times: piloerection immediately! People are crying, singing along, screaming “Marc, we love you!” - his shows are MADNESS! Highly recommend, if he is anywhere near you. He tours extensively and sells out arenas. Also, his own music is absolutely bloody brilliant! Thanks for a fun reaction! Subbed.

Ich war erst vor ein paar Wochen auf einem Konzert von Marc Martel und es war sehr beeindruckend und habe sogar schon Karten für 2024 liegen

In fact, Captain Marc Martel was behind the voice of the movie actor Bohemian Rapsody (for obvious reasons) Ram Malek towards the synchronization of the voice in the singing scenes and (sorry spoiler) And the concert in Wembley where only another great group had sold out. Guess who... you know and everyone on the couch.

Tears and shivers. No words.

I’ve Listened to Marc for years..I love his previous band “Downhere”. He is a natural Freddie and lended his voice for the movie Bohemian Rhapsody

Marc fronted his own multiple award winning Christian band (called "downhere") for over 10 years. Then he auditioned for Roger Taylor and won the lead with "Queen Extravaganza," Queen's "official" tribute band, in late 2011. He sang with them until the end of 2016. When they were not going to tour in 2017, he started his own cover band, "Ultimate Queen Celebration." He's performed with them since, along with "Black Jacket Symphony" (they do EXACT recreations of famous albums, in live concerts), "Symphonic Queen" (in Mexico, with a full symphony orchestra), and as part of "One Vision Of Queen" (a re-named UQC). He frequently tours central and eastern Europe, either with his band or with local musicians recruited for the tour. He's done concerts around the world, appearing multiple years in such far-flung locations such as Israel and Australia. Marc also did vocals for the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie. The 30+ year old analog magnetic tape master recordings would not have been up to modern "Dolby Atmos" digital quality standards, so they used a technique called "vocal layering," where they blended Marc's voice with Freddie's. If they didn't have a good copy of Freddie singing something they wanted in the movie, it was purely Marc singing it. for some reason, they gave Marc almost ZERO credit in the movie and after. But, if it wasn't for Marc, that movie could never have been made. You can see the tracks in this photo from the Live Aid scene mixing board, where Freddie's track is "LV-STEM LVAID DRY FREDDIE_01" and Marc's track is "LV-STEM LVAID_01," directly beneath it. i.imgur.com/Oqxw81z.jpg "Quite scary... You close your eyes and you think it's Freddie onstage, and he actually even looks a little bit like him. And, it's not just the one song. It's every song he sings. When we were rehearsing, in Toronto, they were playing Bohemian Rhapsody and I was sitting down writing, trying to work out the set. And I closed my eyes and suddenly got completely spooked out, 'cause I could've sworn it was Freddie. And you know, you have a very fine ear when you do it all your life and it just is absolutely staggering at times." - Roger Taylor (Queen's drummer, speaking of Marc Martel) Marc has several albums of his own music out as well. In December 2019, Marc was the special guest star for the Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant Christmas tour. He brought the house down every night. The three of them released their cover of "Silver Bells" which went to number one on the Christian Music chart. For Christmas 2020, Marc teamed with Amy Grant to release their cover of "The Christmas Waltz," a Frank Sinatra song. Marc has also released albums of his own music, traditional Christmas music, and other covers.

Amazing that you are watching this - I caught this a couple of weeks ago and had pretty much the same reaction!!! I promptly went and purchased a 2.5hr LIVE performance homage to Queen in our neighbouring town!! *WILD* 👍👍👍Loves thanx Roscoe & thanx Tad😁

It’s like Freddie is back!!!!❤

Marc é o melhor cover de Freddie Mercury existente em todo o mundo! ❤

Watched him in concert twice. Will never miss a show when he comes to Boston area

Je suis heureuse car c'est un gars de chez nous et je suis fier de lui et merci de faire une réaction et y as pas que cette chanson y as n'as d'autre merci

He is amazing! I’m glad you reacted to him!

Marc did all the music on the movie “Bohemiam Raphsody”, and it was perfect!

Absolutely love Marc. His 90s cover series is absolutely amazing. Please consider checking it out even if it’s not on stream.

My God, it seems that he has Freddy inside him, his hair stands on end!!!👏

I don't remember if Marc was doing the complete Bohemian Rhapsody on stage before he posted this video (which Queen typically does not do because the opera section is so difficult to do live), but him singing Franz Schubert's Ave Maria in the style of Freddie Mercury followed by this version of Bohemian Rhapsody is the centerpiece of his cover band's set list. It's a rare treat to hear him perform this solo in a football stadium.

Excepcional este hombre..

I believe Freddie would be thrilled ❤️ what better compliment to Freddie 😊 ❤ 💛

Wynieście nazwisko Martel na same szczyty, już długo go obserwuje, brzmi niesamowicie🙂 Pozdrowienia z Polski 🇵🇱

This performance makes me sob. So beautiful

He is one of the vocalist of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody

Your reaction is typical, haha! You're fun to watch. :) I'm a huge Marc fan! He's got other great covers and I really appreciate the art of his original work, which is highly underated, imo. Of his Queen ones, I have to say Killer Queen is my favourite, but do check out his originals! Love Paradise and Remake, especially. I stumbled on him when I was searching for covers of Unchained Melody. I was blown away by the beauty of his voice in ten seconds. He tours the world with his incredible Queen tribute band, One Vision of Queen.

I love Marc Martel "Love of my life" cover also. Brilliant

Marc simply has been given a gift from god !music is the medicine for all mankind !

Ich war im Oktober beim Konzert von Marc Martel (Queen one Vision). Ein super Konzert mit einem genialen und sehr sympathischen Sänger - Marc Martel. Bemerkenswert ist, dass es hier wirklich um die Musik geht und nicht um eine Show (Tänzer, Köstume, ......). Das hat Marc Martel und seine Band nicht nötig - einfach nur sensationell.

I'm not sure which is more impressive, Marc's one take Bohemian Rhapsody or his rendition of Nessun Dorma in the style of Pavarotti and Freddie Mercury.

when i listened "love of my life" 2 voices together... it is ....unbelievable! how good and perfect it is

If you close your eyes,you are listening to Freddie ❤..exceptional vocalist

I saw him performing live this year and it was amazing !

Great reaction to a truly phenomenal performance of an iconic song.

Questo è il pezzo che più impressiona 😢

Absolutely incredible!!!!!❤❤

Big Freddie!! Big Marc!! Reencarnação do homem!!!! 😍

It was funny watch people in chat talk about Remi Malek's performance.... not realizing marc was the one to provide the actual vocals for the Freddy Mercury biopic-- not Remi himself.

its musically spot on, he's singing Freddies original parts from the recording, including the fourths...

Incredible pipes

What a voice!!!!!. :)

Great reaction. He gave me goosebumps too.

saw him in concert great show

2 that share one thing: passion

E' un dono fantastico datoci da Freddie....piu' lo ascolto e piu' ci credo....😊e mai sono stata piu' felice...👍💯👑👑👑👑👑👑

there is a reason Marc was the VOICE of Freddy in the film... scary identical

His own album is incredible too.

I saw him live and had tears in my eyes absolutely wonderful

Chills!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!

Marc is so much better than Killer Queen tribute band... 100%

Emocionante 😢 , grande Freddie, grande Marc 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐🇧🇷

Marc is amazing! Saw him live and he has the Freddie spirit and voice.

Marc Martel was singing most of the songs in "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie.

Dude is killin it. Grand slam

Acordándome de Fredy ...muero de amor Que maravilla ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Please Queen do a tour with Marc. That would be amazing!! Only disappointed with Adam Lambert.

Fantástico!!!❤

❤❤❤❤❤закрываю глаза и вижу Меркури

Marc didn’t need to loop anything. i am a singer, he was dead on.

💜💜

Freddy Mercury is official reborn!!!!! this guy's voice unbelievable

Single take. I'll buy that for a dollar!!! Magnificoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I would pay 500 dollars to attend a Queen concert with this guy singing lead. In my country that is equivalent to some folks' monthly paychecks

Очень люблю! Он классный вокалист!🎉🎉🎉

Thing is this might be the toughtest cover on the history of singing to pull off

marc martel is the best Freddie mercury singer in the world. EDIT: forgot to say that the bohemian rhapsody movie.. Marc sings in it

Чорт подери! Режиссер повторил то, что я делал слушая Марка! Сумашедшее попадание!

Great reaction. Greetings from Germany 😊

On ferme les yeux, on dirait Freddy. Bravo😮

Adam isn't in the same ballpark as Marc Martel. Not even on the same planet with Marc !!!!

No lo escuché nunca no lo puedo creer,tiene la voz identificada a Freddy. Pero nunca será igual. Felicitaciones 🥂

You wanted to hear Marc with a looper? Here ya go! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QEoWTi3up2M.html You should check his non Queen covers too. I Will Always Love You is incredible.

He's from Quebec from Canada same Celine , Marc Martel is the best !😀👍

Agree. Marc is so much better. Why didn't they ask Adam to do movie?

The best I’ve seen

Not to mention the piano playing!

Freddie is that you? 😢
