Reaction to Marc Martel Bohemian Rhapsody(Queen Cover) 

(Marc has never been on The Voice or AGT/BGT, just so you know.) 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. (Their first national exposure was on "American Idol," when they debuted before their first tour. Roger Taylor and Brian May performed with them, that one time only.) He sang with Queen Extravaganza 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 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.

Thanks for reacting to Marc. Good luck on your way to success.

He sound like Freddy. He sang for the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Also is the front man for the tribute band Queen Extravaganza. Look up his audition video Somebody to Love.

Just wait until you hear the rest of his Queen covers. Who wants to live forever is amazing.

He's in the band called Queen extravaganza. He also done all the singing in the song for the songs in the movie of Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. I just found your channel I wish you the best of luck with it it was a great reaction. And I just love Marc

If you like Queen then you've just taken a dive into a deep rabbit hole with Marc - odonovan explains much of his backstory. I like his performances of The Show Must Go On from Montreux (2016) and Prophet's Song (under Queen Extravaganza title) from Norwich 2015 (wearing white and black checkered vest). Probably because those are two of the hardest songs to sing. But Marc has a huge library of Queen covers, other covers (check out I Will Always Love You, Right Here Waiting For You and Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. And he has tons of Christmas covers as well as his own music. Cheers!

Check out " Love of my Life" by Marc.
