There is only one Freddie Mercury. With that said Marc is a great singer and brings life to Queens songs like so little have done since Freddie's passing.
Garry Mulen was [and i think still is] the most close to "clone" Freddie voice, still both of them aint Freddie, nor anybody will ever be him. Thius guy is gr8 singer sure, but as other said here - nobody is even close to the original.
While I admit that he isn't as good as Freddie, you'd have to be completely fucking deaf to claim he isn't sounding even close to the original recording (not any live version). He lacks a little of the power Freddie had but he is definitely fairly close.
I just hope you all remember that Marc Martel is only singing in the Queen Extravaganza, the not so normal tribute band... made due to the 40th anniversary... they were looking to create a clone-band, not just searching for a lead singer...
I see now why Adam is in queen now. This guy is more of a copy of Freddie than a singer with their own personality. No hate towards this guy, but it's pretty obvious.
I don't understand why people want to replace Freddie with someone nearly identical to him. This guy is really good, but music is about growth and is dynamic, if you do the same thing all the time it's going to go stale. Let Adam have his chance, he has an incredible voice and his Queen performances on idol were spectacular (although I hate his music). You can't bring someone back once they're gone, and I think Queen are trying to move on...so let them.
He's obviously trying to imitate Freddy. Hell, just watch and listen. That's why Queen decided to chose another singer. It's a smart move to avoid people talk about them trying to replace Freddy. Despite of his amazing voice.
omfg, actually I thought his video from the channel was fake, but now I see that he really sings like Freddy! and actually he looks a bit like Freddy!! omfg!!!!
Though I think that Adam Lambert is a way better fit for Queen than Paul Rogers, Marc is the reincarnation of Freddie. He even resembles Freddie. It gives me a chill when I think of how Queen could put him in their band, tour and make new albums and their music can not only live on but grow. I'm sure Freddie wouldn't mind if an "impersonator" joined the band. He's not replacing Freddie, but making it so his music can be enjoyed live by whole new generations.
not only does he sound like Freddie but he actually somewhat resembles him. GET RID OF LAMBERT! I have no problem with Lambert, but this is the only shoe in possible for Freddie.
It wouldnt surprise me if he has no problem with them. The dude has the exact same facial structure of Freddie. Since his voice is close, combine that with the overbite, Id bet his pipes are almost exactly same.
The Adam Lambert thing is not happening... thank God. I don't get why they don't just call off the whole Queen Extravaganza thing anyway and instead have Marc actually front Queen.
Marc Martel sounds like Freddie Mercury, which is why he will never be the frontsman for Queen. They will never try to replace Freddie, which is why artists like Lambert are chosen to fill in...
WTF Adam Lambert?...Fucking sick and sad and oh so not worthy of portraying "FREDDY MERCURY" I won't bother buying tickets ...I don't care at this point!!! Bring back "MARC MARTEL"!!!
@pindongoxD queenextravaganzacom - January 16, 2012 post. VOCALS - Marc Martel. He's in it. Not sure where everyone is getting Adam Lambert from, I've Googled it, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Has something changed since 16 JAN 12?
@Invadercelica Marc Martel is the lead singer of the OFFICIAL cover band, but Adam Lambert is the person who has been singing in the REAL Queen band lately.
People want to see Adam fired and him replaced by Marc Martel including myself.
This is of course not a bad performance but the guy's voice sounds weak. If you like to listen to a great cover version of this song then look for George Michaels performance on the Freddie Tribute Concert.
@Jazzman1985 George sounds nothing like Freddie. This guy does. Even if it wasn't nearly as powerful as Freddie's vocals, its much closer to Freddie then George's.
hmmm well i love queen since 5~yrs ; now im 21,so far i heard queen songs ( and this one ) probobbly - 10 000 times or even more,when i sport,walk to studys and etc etc etc...
what i wanted to say is that, for me more similar voice (to Frredy's) and better one, is Thomas Crane from australia got tallent.
Cierro mi ojos y con tu vos e interpretación escucho a quien sigo desde la adolecencia. Gracias Marc por tu trabajo, es marvilloso. Desde Santiago de Chile un gran abrazo.
@LazyNightz Marc is the lead singer for Downhere, a Christian group. Marc has a different perspective on life than simply to get pussy. You should elevate yourself to something more than mere animal. Look into Marc's other music, With someone with such great talent, why would he need a Savior? Maybe he knows something you don't??
To claim "You should elevate yourself to be more than a mere animal" is as smart as saying: "You ignore gravity and elevate yourself from having mass."
