Jessie James Butawan i agree, in part. i think Marc is diplomatic, but the OTHER reason is: He's a straight, Christian Republican. Lambert is a gay Flamboyant (Dem/Liberal?) who is more "Freddie" in spirit/embodied. In other words, Adam worked with Ryan Murphy on glee, who did AHS, a show that just wrapped it's 8th season by featuring "Anton Lavey" as a (murdering) Satanist...
@@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165 so being gay makes him better, that is the stupidest thing I've ever read. Marc has more talent when it comes to Queen songs
Marc Martel definitely alters his voice to sound like Freddie. He even implied that in this interview. His natural voice is a lot like Freddie’s, but he purposely takes it to the next level
@@cannedyams9977 Well, obviously. When he sings as himself, he sings as himself, but when he has to sound like Freddie, he's going to take it as far as he can.
Most people saying no one can replace freddie true but marc martel sounds like 99% as freddie so we should be happy that we have another freddie in a different timeline
I was going to Queen Extravaganza tonight in London till i found out it’s not Marc .....so staying at home to pray Roger and Brian sort it out 🙄👍🏻🇬🇧 only one Freddie, but just say if this is a Spiritual contact through Marc....Freddie would be cursing Bri and Rog “Oh for heavens sake!” 🤣🤣
He was born when Freddie was alive, so the universe must have known Freddie was going to die from complications of AIDS and humanity would miss him before Marc was born.
I loved all your albums! I like you sounding like you do, making your Christian music better than Queen. I love your Christmas songs the best. O Holy night my favorite.!
Freddy Mercury's was Queen... When he died (1991) it was the death of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor have never managed to get recognize without Freddy. Yet they chose an amateur like singer by the name of Adam Lambert (drag Queen) to keep Brian May the big star of the group. Yet there is a singer by the name of Marc Martel who sings like Freddy and who is ignored by Brian May and Roger Tayler because they will lose their identity and they are easy to replace.
Just the thought of knowing that i still have the chance to hear freddie through marc is enough for me...i love marc martel.....just how i loved freddie mercury....
That’s it, I want a DNA test on this guy from Ancestry DNA or 23andMe. He must be related to the legendary Freddie Mercury! He sounds so much like him when he sings, it’s incredible! Even from reading some of these comments, some of you are saying he’s got a lot of similar physical characteristics to the legendary Queen singer.
I posted a similar quote that I would not be shocked if they are related. Marc needs to check on Ancestry. I believe they are related perhaps thru a great great- grandmother or grandfather.Some where they are connected by lineage. Also to have talent like that, it can be passed on to other generations in the family and to have similar facial features does indicate they are related.
Amy Carter Oh, yeah! Barcelona with Martel and Netrebko. Although could read like a love story it meant to be with someone like Janeckova or Domnich. Never heard about Domnich until you mentioned her. What a voice!!!! Beautiful! Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise! You know your opera singers, Amy! Props.
I saw an add for Qeen band, saw It was Lambert but after listening to their tracks I was more then disappointed...if you can't do it better (or same as the original) don't even try. Marc is as close to perfect as you can get. And I feel hopefull and happy that the world still has someone who can sound like Freddie. Freddie was a perfect package - extravagant, flamboyant - a true artist and performer. You can't have it all, but Marc is amazing as has to be recognised! Wish he would come with the band somewhere close to where I am in the corner of the world...
Wonderful interview!! Jordan Knight was my favorite New Kid also! I do wonder why his name is not in the music credits on Bohemian Rhapsody though?? Or was it supposed to be hushed that he was a part of the singing talent??
taylor said that queen extrazavanga wanted to be a kind of tribute band but NO WAY they will put someone to replace Freddy....May also said that you cant replace a genius.
@Jeanette Kejling I agree! He has no charisma on stage. He sings for himself only - never relates to the audience. He's good for lounge acts, but not on a stadium of 80,000 audience. Adam is the best choice for Queen. His vocal range is out of this world, can't say that with MM.
Soy Dalila de ARGENTINA, nadie mejor que Martel lleva el legado de el gran Freddy, me gustaría que se tradujeran sus reportajes al Español, lo más Marc Martel
I swear whenever I get something for my laptop I get ads for it. when I got my headphones, I got the ads for those same headphones, and when I got my razer keyboard I WONT STOP GETTING ADS
Freedie mercury sounds a lot like marc martel. Everyone is different. I can see like he wants to be a unique vioce. As first u would imagine its so great to sound like freedie mercury but then dosent it make u lose ur personality. Anyways both are great and DIFFERENT
I think he has some features of freddie...the teeth....the jaw....humm. Glad he is doing well sure wish he played the position Adam has....he sounds so much better....
Well freddie was straight before realizing he was bi, marc was born in 1976, queen became famous in 74 after killer queen and toured america for the first time, 75 toured American again and also churned out bohemian rhapsody,think he toured america again in 76, freddie realized he was bi in 1977 but still saw men and women while touring before that "allegedly" and especially after marry left him. So your theory makes a lot of sense.
And the Martel/Lambert debate rages on. Ok let's look at the facts. Adam Lambert was selected by Roger Taylor and Brian May to tour with Queen. He's not replacing Freddie. He is honouring him. Mark Martel was selected by Roger and Brian to lead the official Queen tribute band. He sounds exactly like Freddie so is paying tribute to him in as faithful a way possible without dressing as him. Roger and Brian are smart businessmen. They have made their decision. Move on.
All natural I met him he's really tall, and in person he doesn't look that much like him. It's more persona on stage mannerisms and voice. It is just coincidence in looks. It is the voice that visually enhances everything else. Really nice guy.
What the f*ck is this? "The Cafe"? A 1,5K subscribers channel, with such a studio and professional hosts? Almost like a TV channel? Hmmm. Could it be a TV channel? Nope - didn't think so.
Why is there any discussion about Marc, Adam, or Freddie's sexuality? What does it have to do with their talent? All three are talented and depending on what each of us likes, we like different singers or all three. We don't need to make inane remarks about God or Satan. Bottom line Brian and Roger liked Adam's voice and personality and they clicked.
Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin's were together for several years as an item before Queen made it big and went on tour. Marc does resembles Freddie and Mary both, alot. I believe that Marc is Freddie's secret son..... I wish Marc would just admit that already.
@@ToddandRaquiForrest Actually he does change his voice as "Marc Martel Fans", formerly known as "Todd Forrester", has pointed out on another video. (Still lying Todd?) Todd & Raquel Liz Forrest "You must not listen to Freddie singing live. Marc adds the raspiness because that is the way Freddie sang live. Marc has 15 albums of non-raspy high notes. He adds it in when sing in Freddie's style."
@@sasha07775 that is called the delivery, not mimicry, not voice changing. Just because you don't know the difference because you like a singer who has a clueless inability to deliver any way other than pop musical theater. You have spent years hating someone only because they are way better than your boyfriend at singing. And you are wasting your life with this hate and idiocy. You really should focus your few remaining years on positivity, love and wisdom. It would really be a shame if your epitaph reads 'she annoyed thousands with her comments.' But, if that is what you think your life's work has to be...
@@ToddandRaquiForrest Sorry, but your original comment says it all. "You must not listen to Freddie singing live. Marc adds the raspiness because that is the way Freddie sang live. Marc has 15 albums of non-raspy high notes. He adds it in when sing in Freddie's style.". When you change your natural voice to sing in someone else's style, you are imitation them. There is nothing you can say to negate that comment. Even he said that he has to work to make his consonants sound like Freddie and has to make faces to produce other sounds. Your immature attempt at the personal insults will not change the fact that he makes changes to his normal voice when singing Queen which makes him an imitator. Considering all the negativity in your comment, you might want to practice what you preach and focus on positivity, love and yes, wisdom yourself.
King Lobster , oh, I did not think they would be touring again. however, they will not experiment with the vocalist. they will not release Adam. they are just too old. they created Q.extravaganza and closed the topic. even against the fans. I regret
Massey, the film’s re-recording mixer/music mixer Paul Massey says “99.9%” of the singing in the film is Mercury. The rest is a blend of Malek’s voice with Mercury sound-alike Marc Martel. We only did that for vocals that didn’t exist, things like the audition scene in the parking lot, ‘Happy Birthday’ over lunch and writing ‘Love of My Life’ at the farm house,” Warhurst says. (Variety)
slynnc kitty LOL Well, if Marc sang nothing in the movie, then, why would he be recording the entire score for 2,5 months? Why would a movie producer waste that much money (you do know that recording process is super expensive, don’t you?) if they weren’t going to use the recordings at all? And just “girl”-to-girl, I know for a fact that Marc sings 99,9% more than Rami. What do you say to that?
@@papabearM3 Who said he sang, "nothing"? Here's the rest of that statement from Variety. "We only did that for vocals that didn’t exist, things like the audition scene in the parking lot, ‘Happy Birthday’ over lunch and writing ‘Love of My Life’ at the farm house,” Warhurst says." (Variety)
slynnc kitty No sweetie, his voice is clearly used throughout the entire movie. Not only I know that for a fact from a close and very reliable source, I, unlike you, can recognize Marc’s voice even if it’s just used to buff Freddie’s weak or inconsistent recording.
