Marc Martel does Keith Green's "So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt"

[caldispatcher]

Awesome!! No need to say anything else!!

[bibelchrist]

Ich liebe gute Musik mit Inhalt.

[michaelsfreeman]

Thanks for doing some Keith Green. I really miss his music.

[Totichi]

Sounds like freddie singing in the "A day at the races" album...love it!!

[garycfittro]

One of my favorite christian singers when I was a relatively new christian in 1977, by the late Keith Green. Mark does a fantastic job playin and singing Keith's tune. Brings back some great memories. I miss his music. Noone at that time was more passionate and expressive than Keith Green in ministering from the bible through song in my opinion. Great job Marc!

[peachpeach]

WOW, I LOVE IT!!!

[jrheaume]

Comment ne pas aimer! tu es formidable. Tu chantes super bien, tu joues bien du piano et tes chansons sonnent bien. Bravo - pour moi qui vient de te découvrir, c'est un cadeau

[crete484]

wow this guy is awsome

[rainforestcafe37]

Hey, I was beginning to think I was the only Christian who liked Keith Green AND Queen! Your voice is amazing.

[aarrum]

That jaw o_o

[76devl69]

Ok so Marc can do Seaside and Good Old Fashioned too? Wow ! too easy to root for this Kid

[SugarRose25]

You married a non-Christian, it won't be an easy road.

[notekidds]

@SugarRose25 What's that about? C

[valeeSS10]

:O .. nada mas ESPLENDIDO!

[GrandOldTeam]

You need to seriously think about a solo career.

[PeachWNK]

I love Keith Green AND Queen.... great job. :)

[kisielus]

WoW :)

[katleiabloom]

Marc, ta performance de "Somebody To Love" est tout simplement époustouflante (autant celle de ton audition que lors de ton apparition à l'émission de Ellen), et je t'appuie entièrement dans ta décision de participer au concours du 40e anniversaire de "Queen"! Franchement, personne ne peut l'avoir mieux que toi! Mais je dois te dire que tes deux interprétations de Keith Green au piano m'ont jetée en bas de ma chaise!! C'est hallucinant!!! Tu es renversant!! Keith serait vraiment très honoré...

[dreamdrumer1]

[looneta]

freddie is back !!!! You are gorgeous Marc!!!

[1122stardust]

this brought back sooo many memories of growing up and listening to Keith Green while cleaning the house!!

[FaFranco1]

Marc is the best *---*

[jared116]

Everyone's saying how he sounds like freddie...I don't really hear it. I think he sounds more like Keith in this video.

[SirShakes6TH]

Aside from the fact that you sound a lot like Freddy, you have an absolutely amazing voice, and great tone. You are also a pretty great piano player.

[flyinapapercup]

This time, don't forget to use condoms.



[A40gamer]

with brian may´s capacity to write great songs (and roger´s too but not as may) and this stunning incredible voice, they will be able to even release a new album

[vbobkovsky]

@A40gamer Oh If only! I know they wrote some songs in "Cosmos Rocks" for Paul Rodgers' voice. Now they can write an album for (almost) Freddie's voice again. I would buy the heck out of new release.

[adelaura72]

Oh yeah.... Clean your room!!!!!! ROFL!

[adelaura72]

He has Freddie's range but he doesn't sound like Freddie to me.... Which is a good thing really.... He doesn't have to ride on FM's coat tails.

[Downhere1000]

@adelaura72 His band Downhere is nothing like Queen! He isn't choosing to be a FM clone just has similarities!

[trade2240]

jajaj wooooow! Freddy Mercury's voice!!

[patricegaudicheau]

I just love it !

I Just Love Your voice.

[patricegaudicheau]

I just love it !

[markovicp10]

OMG, now i can finally hear a good voice again!!!

[brooke5423]

I miss Keith, thanks for bringing a piece of him back to memory and faith.

I was blessed. I agree with Bob Rivers, hold out for a place in the original band but you definitely have options with Downhere or doing Keith :)

Blessings

[Dbx125]

OMg this sounds like Good Old Fashioned Lover boy! YOUR FUCKING AMAZING DUDE!

[MicaFilth]

Marry me?

[jundytouch]

Great singing and piano playing. What a talent. Thanks Marc.

[TheDissy6]

This shows how amazing God is, blessing a man after his own heart with a voice that can cover people gone from this earth, from all lifestyles!

[jacksonremix35]

amazing imitation of keith green! you should make a cover of "man in the mirror" you have the voice for it and it will be amazing I think

[thehomelessguy]

wow, you know Keith Green too, awesome dude!

[Ov2rkill]

Doing swell my good man

[franc35co]

We want a cover of "Seaside Rendezvous " !!!! 

[koby84]

io ti stimo



[gigisdiamonds]

I really am glad to have come across this! Thanks for posting it! =)

[unbent123]

Check out Keith Green's music. Marc Does a great impression of him here. Also I love how he's keeping the music of these great musicians who've passed away alive!

[MrProgshine]

Stop, for god's sake, stop comparing with Mercury! This song does not have any similarity with Freddies singing. Please stop dooming this guy to this, cause he can do more.

If you miss Freddie go listen to the Queen records (there's about 20) or his solo records. Stop trying to find a 'replacement' cause there'll be none, just listen to this guy for what he is.

[Walak17]

I am very glad how people is supportin this talented guy, any troll guy will be like: Oh my god, He is Imitatin Mercury, Fuck him. But i am so happy u are being very very responsible and accepting this guys talent, that anyhow is not the same as freddie mercury, its different, and different is good, and i just hope the best for his career, and he deserves more than being As Freddie Mercury reincarnation, he deserves to be Marc Martel!, a normal guy inspired by a legend.

[lorriecarey]

This was one of my favorite songs at one time. Sure appreciate your talent and playfulness. Keep enjoying life as you do! You honor God, brother.

[MelodyBlais]

Awesome! Freddie Mercury reincarnation <3 Really great voice!

[amadeus999]

God, this song brings back memories! Great job.

[Footenmouth]

Having been saturated with much of the 'negative' side of religiousity most of my life, I tend to recoil each time I hear a 'Christian' singer or group . . but the entire band is really excellent . . and Marc might well become a real superstar after his Freddy Mercury showing on YouTube.

As a huge Queen fan for many years, the vocal ability is phenomenal. Good luck, and I will be watching very carefully.

[tilsyyy]

You need a beard and curly hair...

[Cerdes0000]

Marc is awesome



[mdc88key]

I remember going to Keith Greens house a lot back when i lived in texas in the 70s. My father and him were good friends. He would sing and play the piano while all of us kids would dance around his living room. Great version!!!!

[ginmark]

I love Keith Green.... and I think you sing this song better than he did!

[notekidds]

Wish we could see your hands too...

[swaracaroline]

what make/model is that microphone?

[kevinastokley1]

@swaracaroline I believe it's a Shure SM7. I know Guitar Center carries them.

[CoreyFranklinMurphy]

@swaracaroline It's a Shure SM7B....great mic for the price ($250.00) Used by many professionals.

[neuroninc]

ye....freddie mercury singing keith greens song!!! Love it. Deserves the attention around the world

[AthenianBaseball]

Have always dug the piercing bluntness that were the stylings Keith Green.

[thatisso80s]

I thought the Queen tribute was incredible, oy vey this guy never stops.

[sheilinha899]

ual voce canta muito bem!!embora pareça o Freddie cantando voce tem seu propio carisma e estilo!!!Parabens!!!!

[decodeb]

I hear Freddie Mercury in your voice, no matter what you sing! You have an amazing voice...thanks for entertaining us!!

[demetrio57]

his voice sounds like a bit mac cartney

[mrnrrdndvlz]

Whatever you sing I hear Freddy's voice!

[jnancekievill]

Marc, I am a big Keith Green fan and you sir do him justice. Great job.

[lydocia]

Your face when you say bamanna bread. Epic.

[vaanfluff]

I would be amazing if you were to cover Keith's "The Victor". Crystal Lewis did amazingly well on her take of it, but I suspect your dynamic would be somewhat different! Please consider it. :)

[LAFanyways]

HOT. Did I mention you're hot? You could sing about dogshit for all I care.... ;)

[MAC02134]

tears... are in my eyes. Marc's talent is spirit filled AMAZING! God protect him!

[carmeenamack]

lol he does look like Casey Afleck...

[NellaTorre]

@carmeenamack OMG. I thought I was the only one who saw the resemblance to Casey Affleck. LOL. Opera, Queen, Green, Affleck, he can do it all.

[lunarstarship]

Talento incredibile .... vai Marc !!!!

[MegaRobzilla]

American Idol, baby!

[tessamia1]

does anybody told you,you also look like freddie?

[NesViola]

Marc amazing voice! I'm from Argentina, also a singer and is so wonderful to hear a "loud voice" in height, light and free just like yours!! Coupled with the impressive talent as an artist .... you have know it's hard, but I would like to hear some of my videos! Big hugs !!!!!!

[MrFabba1]

sei un grande!!!!!!!! you are great!!!!

you must become a star!!

[jasontromm]

Keith Green was taken from us way too soon. So glad to see God gave you just as much talent!

[valpo2821]

pure talent! lovely:)

[vbobkovsky]

Marc is Christian, Freddie was Zoroastrian. Deal with it. Now go back to the beautiful music and vocals.

[Tembomeme]

ESTE HOMBRE ES UN TALENTO!! 

[magiwooziewoo]

dude you are awesome!!!

[DrFloka]

This guy has to be Freddie Mercury's son!!! He even looks like him!!! :)))) If you just listen and not look at the video u would bet your money that is Freddy...

[funnystuffcollector]

Insanely accurate! Wow. Timing and emphases were dead on.

I would have never, until this day, heard the similarities between Mercury and Green. Awesome voice and control.

[Jellybeantiger]

Awesome mate.

[DejectedPanda]

He's versatile!

[conniewhelan]

You even look like Freddie!

[TheGraveDolls]

This is like listening to lazing on a sunday afternoon or seaside rendezvous, totally into Freddie's style!

[pokeopolis]

Where have you been hiding? It won't be too much longer that Marc Martel will be a household name! Great singer!

[headspacedesign]

This guy's a star.

[angerock49]

As much as I like this guy, I really dislike this idea of "Christian bands"... why would your music have to be defined by a religion ?

[wrosmond]

Marcs band Downhere is one of the most played Christian bands on radio in Canada. Just because he's a Christian doesn't mean he can't be a part of mainstream music too though.

[JohnnyJohnW]

Upload more videos

[fearbabyriffs]

Love to listen to this guy. New fan

[Cammadore64]

You make every song sound like Freddie Mercury, which is probably the greatest thing ever.

[jella11]

@Cammadore64

I really don't get you people. You must have the worst ears. He sounds very different from Freddie

[Cammadore64]

@jella11 You people? You mean black people? You think that we black people have bad ears? What? Maybe our afros get in the way? Racist.

[jella11]

@Cammadore64

No u

[AxeMoose]

Man you can go far.

[Anepsalles]

You have what many want and a few develop: Talent! You are a handsome man and I think that helps. I hope you grow more and more. And of course, your performance as F. Mercury was a wonderful thing! But you should seek your own identity. Kisses from Brazil.

[elm1com]

Broadway is shining on your path among many many other opportunities.



[scarryassclown]

...and you play good piano?!--by Golly, if your talent doesn't get appreciated as much as it should, I don't know what else could.

[FaithSaves100]

Love this song, after I heard the other Keith Green cover you did this came came to mind as another that you could really do.

[THETERT1E]

you look just like him

[fabionovasouza]

You need sing more Queen for Us Man, congratulations!!!!

[TonyBlair777]

Can you do Hootie and the Blowfish?

[dsgambrill]

Would love to hear you do Jesus Christ Superstar. The Queen demo was awesome dude! Enjoy your rise to the top!

[michaelps3rocks]

ive never heard this song before but i love it, and im an atheist!

[chasyboy1]

Never heard someone do this song! Thanks.

[electricbassplayer]

Ba-manna-bread! One of my favorite tunes from childhood. I was shocked when Keith passed.

[jam11887]

I can't wait to hear you and Keith perform this for us in Heaven!

[mkamp952]

Marc... Again... Tenacious.. Would love to have you on the show Monday

[endrigol]

CARALHO.... manda muito bem !!

[DKsasquatch]

Mana waffles? Mana bagels... filet of mana?

[manic93]

you are just amazing man, what talent you have please keep dreaming so musicians like you can bring new music and not shit like now

[Dravenswraith]

Billy joel next!!! You probably mimic him great too

[tok2u4free]

So glad you use your talents for the Lord .Your in my prayers

[23hybridfire]

I like it! But you got to give it your own interpretation. Not mimicry. You sound too much like Keith Green.

[DukeLaCrosse20]

Great voice, great fingers!

[aaaaaaaawesome]

freddie freddie freddie!!!

[IveBeatenTetris]

thats a great choice of song and it becomes much better by performing so good.

manna menu for about 40 years is a no go

[VenomancerX]

this guy could esially win the one million dollars on amarica's got talen.

[kittydreamz86]

Wow, this is so impressive. Your voice is so dexterous... Like, you play with the notes and it's ear tickling

[quantumreflex]

what a great voice you have man, I've just become a fan, remember this name guys, Marc Martel - Fantastic.

[GabrielBecker100]

I like, lilke, like, so much!

Beautiful voice. *-*

Thanks for the video !

[rphilbrick11]

Haha I love it when you go up to sing "onions" about 45 sec in.

[zimwivez]

Wow!!! Such a good rendition! Almost sounds just like Keith himself!

[WordPolice987]

Dude! Major talent! Awesome rendition of my favorite artist, Keith Green. Thanks for the video. You did the song and artist very good justice.

[4mhanks]

Oh my word!!!! you sound just like Keith Green on that song!!!! Amazing! Please post more.

[GoodRegards]

Freddie mercury!!!!

[Katey0112]

You amaze me, man. All I can say is rock on!

[sydus8]

it's awesome man, you're talented in singing and playing the piano. thanks for uploading!

[momkow5]

I'm going to play this for my 29 jr high Bible students! Come play this in person sometime! I've tried to get my students to appreciate KG but they just don't appreciate him like the he was in his time.

[gowpowner]

wow he sounds just like keith green and he plays the piano just like him

[plushaye]

Awww this made me smile. I haven't listened to this song in years. I had a Keith Green cassette many moons ago and I used to wear it out. This song was a huge favourite of mine! Marc again does an awesome job! Maybe it's time to bring back this song for another generation, or other KG favourites like: "Oh Lord You're Beautiful", "I Pledge My Head to Heaven (for the Gospel)".

[SanctifiedReunion]

Very impressive. Let's see, you can sing opera, you sound just like Freddie from Queen, you're an extraordinary frontman for one of the best Christian bands around, and now...you play and sing one of the most influential Christian artist's tunes just as good as he once did. You're one incredible musician! Thanks for sharing.

[tias88]

@SanctifiedReunion Excuse me, i might be stupid but what does christianity to do with anything?

[patkaybites]

@tias88 Marc is a Christian and it's religion so what gives you the right to just look at Christianity that way? Gosh. People these days.....

[tias88]

@patkaybites Is the rest of the band Christians? Do they want to be seen as a "Christian" band? but no sane man or woman would be religious, so i'm just hoping Marc isnt, cause that would be a big letdown for me. But thanks for your fullfilling looks of things :) I'm sure you a religious nut :D

[bf25h0minid]

@tias88 you're kidding right? you actually believe that about Christians?

[tias88]

@bf25h0minid Yes im kidding

[Reinpret]

@tias88 - well, we wouldn't want to let you down now would we.

[patkaybites]

@tias88 They're seen as a "Christian" band because they portray their songs that way. If you listen to his other songs, aside from the "Queen covers", they're Christian lyrics. What do you mean "sane"? There are pplllennnttty of sane people who are religious and trust me, they're sane. And how would it be a let down if Marc was religious? I think your perception of 'religious' might be a bit on the unpopular side.

[tias88]

@patkaybites Wow, a real answer, that was all i wanted THANKS! and yes i was joking about sanity because i got frustrated with your previous comment

[patkaybites]

@tias88 Okay, I understand your sense of humor but let's not fight. :D I prefer to enjoy Marc Martel as an amazing artist rather than debating about things that you'd probably won't even listen to anyways. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or what but whatever. Marc Martel's awesome and whatever religion he might be standing for, he's a phenomenal musician.

[ABlack721]

Love the bluesie piano!! I had no clue you had it in ya. Very awesome, Marc.  Saw Downhere last couple years at Kingdom Bound. Love you guys, your hearts and music. Keep it up man. God bless

[777mjoy]

Great job Marc, you made me laugh which you are very good at doing. Your voice is amazing, I love to listen to you sing. You have a great gift, I am thankful for artists like you. You have been a huge encouragement to me, I am thankful that I got to see you and the rest of Downhere twice in concert. I hope to see you again one day. 

[haldir6480]

Marc Martel singing Keith Green music! Can't get any better than that. You sing it Marc!!!!

[MadMadamMimsy88]

You do it often, but thanks for making me smile, Marc. And for having good taste in music. It's a service to the world.

[MadisonDawson]

man, you remind me of michael w smith. he's so good.

[Sumeoon]

Duuuuuuude!!!!

You're awesome!!!

Praise God, that a talented musician like you knows Keith Green. Praise God!

Can't wait to see more Keith Green vids from you!

[ChrissyTeague]

Wow...is there anyone you can't do? Super. ;D

[cameraman5449]

Excellent job!!! I'm a big Keith Green fan, and you're cover of this song is really good. God Bless!
