Freddie Mercury or Marc Martel? TRY TO GUESS! | Reaction 

You do know Freddie 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💜💙💚

Good job! Solid 4.5! And you're so right! Freddie has much more energy and power behind his notes. Easy to tell the difference.

Marc has an extremely good voice, but Freddie is on a different level. I have no expertise, but Freddie’s voice has a bell like quality. I am sorry that I cannot explain it any better.

Way to easy, I think for a newer fan of Queen/ Freddie Mercury would find it not so easy, I've been a fan more or less since day one.

Marc is pretty good, but Freddie has more depth and range.

lol they are worlds apart

I always know Freddie, but then again I've been listening to him since the day after Queen's first album was released in 1973.💙 I guess Marc is as close as is humanly possible, but Freddie had that extra, special God-given quality that's simply inimitable. AND he knew how to use it. His voice had a certain resonance that still, after all these years, can send chills down my spine. It was a heckuva lot of fun watching you debate with yourself though. You did great. I love & appreciate the way you love & appreciate Freddie's voice and really the whole band. 💙

If you love Freddie, you can tell the difference!!!

I love both Freddie and Marc, but listening to them extensively for over a year now, it's quite simple to hear the difference. Marc is incredible, not because he sounds like freddie, but because he respects his legacy. Freddie is King! or Queen, if you prefer.

Got them all. Martel has a different vibrato (more pronounced) and not as growling....but close.

To be honest I've never really thought Marc sounds that much like Freddie 🤔 it's pretty easy to tell them apart. For a newer fan, you did really well! 😁 Nobody compares to Freddie.

Freddie!!!!!!!

I've been a fan of Queen since I was a teenager in the seventies so I thought I would be able to do this easily, but it was harder than I thought it would be. One reason might be that my hearing is not as good as it used to be. I've also never actually listened to Marc before and he sounds more like Freddie than I thought he would. However I got the same as Tra, four and a half. The middle song, We are the Champions, I thought was Marc but wasn't 100% sure. Well done Traent, you have a great 'ear'!

Well, you said it all: Marc is good, but he's not Freddie. 😉 Freddie is unique, he has no equal.😊

Awesome job!

DUDE........ That was FUN!!!! You did a good job; I think if you hadn't jumped the gun on that one you got wrong, you would've picked the right one.

Marc has a good voice and sounds similar to Freddie but no one can match Freddie’s passion and power!

4.5👍 you did good!

Please...come on, Guy...Freddie's voice is easily recognizable on this test... Marc Martel is a pretty good singer But Freddie is a Master, a Legend... NO Way to Confuse...

I saw your shopping spree at the dollar store congratulations to your wife for her birthday tell her that we have a great fan and that's you and we all love you out there. And again tell her happy birthday from all of us people. She married a good man.

There's only one Freddie

This was so fun.... 😊

If you will listen to the diction, it's easy to tell the difference.

5 of 5 here... Martel's voice is good, but too flowery when compared to Freddie, who just knows how to belt it out.

Please react to winter tales - Queen

100%! Freddie has more expression in his voice. You feel it. Its not just about hitting the notes!

Good job!

Marc is good but will never be Freddie, he doesn't have the strength that Freddie had, that's how I could tell, If it sounded like a "weak" Freddie then I knew it was Marc. Freddie never lost power unless he chose to, and in none of those songs, would he have gone soft. Great vid!!

Nice job!

I got'em all right💯💯Marc's voice is deeper.

No contest. I could tell the difference easily. But the guy was good. The guitar is still on the wall @TraENT. Still got two strings missing. You won't learn to play it if it stays there.

I always say Marc is good, but no Freddie Mercury!

Good job! ❤️ I missed 1 to. 4.5 👑

Easy breezy!

No one sounds like Freddie!

4.5 you did good 🤔. 🙂

Perhaps it is because I have listened to Freddie for so long but I found all of these obvious and easy. Marc's voice lacks the grit and vibrato that Freddie has. The tone of Marc' voice actually annoys me. They are similar, no doubt, but they are also very different. Even the phrasing gives it away. No one added colour to a lyric like Freddie.

Easy!

Who had stage presence? Controlled the audience. Marc has a great voice but no one really sounds like Freddie!

It is easy to guess

It´s not a challenge at all...Them vowels are so different, the vibrato, Freddie had very powerfull high notes due to his natural soprano voice... The tone is similar i give you that but... there is no real comparison

the video challenge sucks, they used tracks that you can easily tell the audio processing difference :(

i’m a musician and I have been a vocalist for 40 years and I can easily tell the difference between Marc Martel and Freddie Mercury.Marc is good, but he is not Freddy. Freddie is a super powerhouse with a lot of soul and Aretha Franklin was one of his favorite people and he sang somebody to love, which has a gospel sound to it -especially the live version.

Thank you !! This was a lot of fun ...but it's easy to tell which one is Freddie. His voice is definitely unique 🎶🎶 I have seen their concert and listened to them for 40 + years. I think Martell sings a little off key and a little slower than the original versions with Freddie. 🎶🎶

Can I speak honestly? It's pretty easy to know who's who. Freddie sounds like thunder in comparison to Marc Martel. Marc tries to imitate Freddie in every way but he can not always.

I got all of them right 😁 Marc has a great voice and sounds a bit similar but I can easily tell them apart. Marc doesn't even have the same vibrato. I don't care what anyone says, NO ONE sings like Freddie. I said that in another reaction video for Marc that they don't really sound THAT much alike and that I always get annoyed when people call him the new Freddie. Like, NUH-UH don't even go there. For that I got attitude and a lecture from someone who couldn't handle what I said 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄😂😂😂

Check out the part 2 on my channel bro :D

What u so excited about?All of these were really easy.

Hello. Could you please reaction One year of love - Queen? you won't regret

No se amigo pero la voz de freddie es inconfundible

It's so easy to identify

Are you from louisiana? U got that accent

This was very easy. Freddie uses his full chest voice much more often, Marc is a good singer, but you can easily spot the difference because he uses his softer head voice. Freddie's voice has more vibrato, and he sings much more powerfully because he did not use his mixed voice outside of the studio too often. If you listen to a lot of covers from Marc and Adam Lambert, they often sound very thin in comparison to Freddie, especially on the middle and lower notes. Freddie's voice is much richer and warmer on the middle and lower notes because he was a britone, the added effect of him singing mostly in full chest voice makes it a powerful sounding combination. Marc and Adam are tenors, so their middle to lower range tends to be thin and weak.

A very easy way to tell the two apart if the voices do sound similar in some songs, is this .... Freddie Mercury can go in entire verse of the song without taking a breath and Marc Martel doesn’t. That’s why if you listen to “we will rock you”, you can definitely tell it’s Friday because he sings that whole entire verse without taking that breath.

As some others, I also found them pretty easy to tell apart. I think Gary Mullen sounds more like Freddie.

I don t like Marc's voice ;/ that was easy! Freddie is only one!

Jeepster Peepster, and all the rest of the expert wannabes who KNOW how different Marc's and Freddie's voices are, you're just blowing smoke. You may hear a difference in recording quality, from old analog recordings to today's digital ones, but that's about the only difference you can hear. If you think you know more than Roger Taylor, who worked side by side with Freddie for YEARS, I have to call you out on that. "And, of course, we have the fabulous Marc Martel, who has the UNCANNY ability to sound EXACTLY like Freddie, and it really is spooky." "I wanted to avoid some guy impersonating Freddie. The fact that Marc Martel's voice sounds spine-chillingly identical is just a fact of nature. That's his voice. When he sings our songs, it's pretty uncanny. You close your eyes and it's like Freddie is in the room. It's scary." "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. ... He even does the megaphone effect on 'Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon.' It's great. It's quite a joyous thing to see." -Three quotes about Marc Martel, from Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer Note the part of the quote where Roger says, "And you know, you have a very fine ear when you do it all your life..." I rest my case. The expert opinion of Roger Taylor has a bit more credibility than folks who have only heard Freddie's and Marc's voices through cheap speakers (or even expensive ones).

React to love me likes there's no tomorrow

This is the worst comparison because the person used recognizable versions from the most popular performances. Like a solo piano version WON'T be Marc? DUH! Like an unaccompanied vocal (no music or anything) taken from a well known Freddie vocal analysis, won't be Freddie? DUH again. Use extremely similar concert vocals, with full backup and the same recording quality, THEN compare the two.

His voice and his style is clearly different isn't it. I do not think one needs too much of a trained ear for it. But why are there so many people trying to sound like freddie or even like queen. It might seem flattering to them but I am not sure they would really want it or even like it.

You did well, 4.75 maybe 😁 I think Martel sounds like someone trying to sound like Freddie. But I have been listening to Freddie a loooooooonnng time 😁🎼He has nowhere near the quality, or the talent, i think it was the Killer Queen version that was the worst should have taken notes! I would normally avoid Martel like the plague but I have been enjoying your channel and was curious to know what you were up to. Well done, put the wannabe in is place as far as I am concerned. 😁😁😁🤟💖

Traent, are you really gone?

Marc can imitate Freddie but only Freddie sounds like Freddie. Mark is good but he's only an invitation and I would like to know what Marc sounds like on his own. He imitates to so many people I would like to know what his voice is.

Только глухарь не различит голос Фредди от Марка

You flunked........

Come on! 🤦🏽‍♀️ Freddie have a lot more depth and he jumps around in his huge range. But its a little difficult because Freddie improvised and developod a lot throughout his karriere I think Mark should find his own path now soon 😴
