Freddie Mercury didn’t sing the high falsetto in original... those parts were done by drummer Roger Taylor.

Marc is as Freddie as you can possibly get

He hit every note he set off to hit. So, not sure what you are referring to when you say he “didn’t hit some note.” If you mean the Bb5 at the end of the operatic section was sung by Roger Taylor and never by Freddie. More so, Freddie had never sung BoRhap in its entirety. So, you can’t say that Marc hasnt reached Freddie when singing this song. There is no precedent established by Freddie to reach. If you truly want to hear something wonderful from Marc, there are myriads of songs he wrote and covered to choose from on the KZread. I suggest Killer Queen cover or any of his 90s covers or his own songs off of his Impersonator album.

Sorry guys. What you saw doesn't exist in the world. Its a unicorn. Freddie NEVER performed the entire song by himself. I saw Queen on the Day at the Races tour and the entire band walked off stage (during the operatic section) and it was covered by the video. Even when the song was recorded it was done in sections. What Marc has done here is unbelievable. The stones it took to record this and release it are tremendous. He hits ALL of Freddie's parts and not those of the other 2 member who actually sang. Too not be completely blown away by this accomplishment leaves me wondering about your credibility but you are entitled to your opinion. Good luck.

He wasn’t changing notes, he was singing Freddie’s harmonies. Add other voices and it wouldn’t sound different

Marc Martel actually used to be the vocalist for Queen’s official cover band, The Queen Experience

@@jgone4856 No Marc left QEX around 2017 to help form UQC. which is more of his own band instead of Roger & Brian's. QEX then hired Alirio Netto as their new lead singer.

Perhaps Marc's most Freddie-esque performance was Love Of My Life

10:25 - For a moment, I thought you were referring to Freddie changing songs around when he sang them live, which is something he was very well known for. It's been termed "dodging." Freddie dodged the high notes in his songs at almost every concert. Only a couple times did he even attempt some of the high notes which were in the studio recordings. Also, in the studio, LOTS of the high notes were not sung by Freddie at all, but by Roger Taylor. If you want to hear the "once in a generation" singer at his best, search for "Freddie Mercury vocal fails," here on KZread. Marc, in concert night after night, NAILS notes Freddie could never, or almost never, hit live.

You do realize that Marc preformed the majority of Freddy in the movie? He was selected by Roger Taylor and Brian May for their official tribute band.

You guys should check out one of his newer one takes: Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me by Elton John. Also check out his covers of Unchained Melody and I Will Always Love You. And, check out his own songs Stalemate and Say the Word.

Just visit Marc's channel and you will have a vast array of songs to choose from for a better gauge. Also, Queen already hired Marc twice: Queen Extravaganza kzread.info/dash/bejne/lIiKk8WhfqvcdJc.html BohRap Movie kzread.info/dash/bejne/o42b0tWjirTUhLw.html

You should listen to this side by side of Freddie and him they blend seamlessly

This guy did all four parts One Man Band

He was good enough for Queen.....and for the movie. Wow!!!! You guys are .....rediculous.

Hmmm, you know Marc was featured voice wise in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie? They didn't ask anyone else to sing for Freddie's part. He's not trying to be Freddie. He's honoring him. I like "Killer Queen" by Marc. Good example of his skills

There is also something called We Will Rock You musical. I got to see this before lockdown so I would suggest watching that, even though it's a jukebox musical.

Freddie didn't have that range either. He never hit those super high notes. Marc has done so many other covers of Queen and others. Check out his channel. Killer Queen cover by Marc also You take my breath away.

I have to say you guys are crazy. This cover is unbelievable. It’s one guy. Live. Playing the piano. No audio tricks. Unreal you criticize it. Can’t subscribe.

These guys are clueless....

Freddy didn’t hit those highest notes in this song. That was Brian May.

If you enjoy talent check out Brian Hull 35 characters sing Bohemian Rhapsody.

Nice non-reaction video, very talented nodding but not quite the range of someone with low to moderate motor skills.

I agree. A reaction with the same intensity of spirit that you can find in a conference of lethargics. Oh well come on, I joke (a little yes, a little no).

thumbs down for the nonreaction and quite ridiculous comments, I already left my double thumbs up at official Marc's rendition of BR. I usually do not criticize easily, but this was the bottom of all reactions for this rendition. Like somebody already stated before, they have no clue. I suggest taking part in one of the old SNL skits requiring ability to move heads in unison

Guess you didn't research Marc then !!

Exactly. Even if they went into it cold, for the sake of an authentic reaction , their actual reaction is so far off reality as to be laughable. I'm glad most of the comments section recognised that straight away.

I am kinda offended.. Marc is sometimes more Freddie than Freddie! I love the man but he was a lik wonky live at the end but marc did it super clean though the whole song…

If you mean he didn't sing the high note Roger Taylor always sang, then no , not wonky just taking Freddie's part, not Roger's . He has sung Roger's part many times live in concert however.

I think his likeness with Freddie is playing against him a little here. At times he sounds so like him you immediately notice when he doesn't (even if it's an artistic choice) and want it back. It's hard to listen to it on its own without a comparison (well, at least for me, I'm a sucker for Freddie). I don't think Marc ever preformed with Queen though. Buuut, you should totally check out their stuff with Adam. It's so much fun to watch, Brian and Roger are still amazing and Adam is actually a great singer and a showman.

You are both all the way wrong. He is the closest you will ever be to the original. He is so close that he is the face of the tribute band and worked on the Queen movie for most of the songs. There you go. I think any musicians would agree that he is the shit.
