Man, I have never listened so carefully to the nuance of "mama"
Whoa...this is big
Ha Ha Ha, don't try to sing like Freddie Mercury when Marc Martel is sitting in the room right next to you.
When Marc opens his mouth and belts out a note, every cell in my body is at attention. 🤯 Mind blowing talent and such a humble guy.

For no reason I think of Marc as the modern version of Freddie.
I just spent 11min watching a video on vocals and I don’t even sing. Thanks Marc! 😂 God bless you all!
Wow beautiful marc. Thanks Chris
Anytime I introduce someone to Marc, they're blown away by his ability to get all the nuances of Freddie's voice. Of course he sounds just like him in tone/timbre which is basically the genetic lottery, but it's studying/practicing the details that takes it from "he sounds a lot like him" to "is that Freddie?"

@@jacquiej5330 I love downhere. I found Marc in 2018 through his viral queen videos . I think How Many Kings was the first downhere song I heard too but my favourite is Let Me Rediscover you. Wonderful band . Did you know Kevin Max did the Bowie part in Under Pressure on Marc's queen covers album Thunderbolt and Lightning? In fact if you search for Marc Martel Kevin Max you will find that song and an old duet with Marc and Kevin from Marc's downhere days. Fun. Stay safe!
I can't wait to see what else Chris and Marc have up their sleeves.

If Marc would sound "only" like Freddie Mercury, I'd say: he's a lucky guy, who is blessed with a very similar voice. But that he can sing like so many other people proves: This man is a real artist, who works hard for this voice!

And now I'm wondering if Chris and Marc got into that point at all - that Marc has been able to find other vocalists similar to his range and "borrow"/ learn from them and pick up those nuances that remind people of those other artists. George Michael and Eddie Vedder (though Marc might not want to revisit that era of his voice, lol) are two that come to mind.

I was a karaoke presenter and singer for over 25 years…. This man is absolutely phenomenal…. I bow down to a great talent 🙏
If I may comment, as a gigging singer, there are some songs that are so physically demanding on my support and my entire body and mind. I'm so glad to hear Marc allude to those facts. Thanks so much Chris and Thank you Marc.
I do feel like Marc sings in a sligthly lighter, and safer way than Freddie and it's a wise move
Big up Chris !! I'm really happy for you and your channel!

I can't believe my eyes, two of my favorite singers in one video
I would think partying and doing tons of interviews during the tours when Freddie struggled vocally probably played a huge role. Marc is like the healthy/non partying, efficient version of Freddie. Freddie will always be a high water mark for me, along with Paul McCartney for versatile singers. Thank you for this video Chris!

Famously Freddie's final USA TV performance on Saturday Night Live (available on youtube) his voice was shot from spending the night before arguing with his boyfriend. Marc takes care of his voice, only occasionally smokes a cigar, and keeps healthy. Freddie would still be rockin today if he'd taken care of his health and made better decisions.

I think that is true in most of life. An open mind will always notice the similarities and still recognize Marc's vibratto is more controlled, pronunciation more precise and tone is thicker. Freddie's vibrato was irregular, and tone more pointed and compressed. Similar but different in truth. For those who want Freddie to be alive again it is exactly the same, and for those who want to believe Freddie is incomparable, they are nothing alike. I actually enjoy Marc's voice more than Freddie's.
I wish Freddie and Marc could've dueted together. That would be amazing to watch. I'd love to know what Freddie would've said about Marc. He'd probably say something like: its truly an honour, but why would you want to copy me, I'm just..."
Absolutely brilliant insight into Freddie Mercurys Vocals by Marc and Chris.As a Brit I'm impressed lol
This was such a fun and interesting discussion! It blows me away how Marc randomly bursts out with a powerful line of song, and then just goes back to normal talking like it was nothing. He has such incredible control of his voice.

This is a very promising collab indeed! Not sure how long you two have been working together, but I was listening to one of Marc’s very recent videos the other day and noted that his placement in the upper range has improved tremendously. It’s a bit more rounded and open than before. I attributed such improvement (not knowing you two worked together) to a vocal coach intervention. Ha! And there you are! Chapeau, Chris! Your work is well-noted! Amazing! Marc is a rare, stellar talent. I hope he knows it. I also hope that he explores his lower range more. Maybe you could nudge him in the direction a bit? :-) He has such an incredible facility! What a voice! Loved the video! Cheers.

You should talk to James Labrie, he is doing a lot of amazing vocal interviews, he’s done great interviews recently with Charismatic Voice, Peter Orullian and Metal Voice. You could do possibly the best approach doing same thing with free and paid vocal courses with him! It would be really really great! And, waiting so much for the AC/DC, Deep Purple stuff, like you did previously, taking 5-10 phrases and dissecting them in 20-30 minute video. This format is my favorite in your videos!
