FREDDIE MERCURY’S SON! - First Time Reacting to Marc Martel - We Are The Champions (Queen cover)

[@alexandra-fu7oq]

I’ve seen Marc live a few times. He’s the best rock vocalist I’ve ever heard live. ❤

[@hecticreaction]

He sounds pretty damn amazing! Can’t wait to hear more!

[@susanne6028]

It will be my 3rd time on Thursday. Today I booked new tickets for his European Tour next year.

[@alexandra-fu7oq]

@@susanne6028I’ve seen him 4 times in the US but am thinking of traveling to Europe to see him a few times in Germany. Have an amazing time! Germany seems to really love him!❤

[@hecticreaction]

@@susanne6028 that’s awesome! I can only imagine how great it is then!

[@brettjames7996]

Yeah he’s very good between him and when Steve Perry from journey when he was younger would love to see both

[@stellur_]

I’m glad you enjoyed Marc’s performance Hectic, and appreciate you taking the time to react to him 👏🏻 Ever since I discovered him just watching random music videos on YT I was simply blown away, first because I couldn’t believe the resemblance of his voice to the legendary Freddie Mercury 😅 but his overall musicianship is just off the charts I mean his vocals, technique, skill with multiple instruments he’s just an amazing talent.

[@hecticreaction]

Thank you! The similarities are there for sure, sounded so much like him it’s scary. Was glad to see he got to work on the movie soundtrack in the comments, I will be doing more from him so stay tuned! 👍🏽

Hi my friend great reaction wait till you get to Bohemian rhapsody awesome love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@hecticreaction]

Thanks Dave! I will get to it!

[@susanne6028]

You will addict to Marc soon. I will see him live in Germany on Thursday this week 😊

[@hecticreaction]

That’s awesome! Please follow up and let me know how it went. Where is he from?

[@susanne6028]

@@hecticreaction He is a Canadian guy but lives in Nashville since many years.

[@hecticreaction]

@@susanne6028 got it! Thanks Susanne! Enjoy!

You've fallen into a deep rabbit hole. Martel did the vocals for the BoRap movie, fronted Roger Taylor's official tribute band, Queen Extravaganza for a number of years, and now fronts his own Queen tribute band. He also performs with Black Jacket Symphony, Symphonic Queen (Mexico) and various other entitites. He covers all the Queen songs, covers other artists, and does his own music as well as a number of collaborations. Here's a sampler video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqndmZ9mqK96otk

[@hecticreaction]

That’s awesome! Definitely need to check out more, cool to hear he also did the movie though!

[@KaliFlamingo]

@@hecticreaction You'll find his music on his channel, on the Queen Official channel (under Queen Extravaganza) and under various fan channels. There are a good number of full concerts out there to watch as well. One of my favouritesis the Freddie Mercury 70th birthday concert from Montreux in 2016. That is a 2 hour concert where they did the full Night at the Opera album as well as the favourites. That concert is available on KZbin, bitchute and daily motion.

[@hecticreaction]

@@KaliFlamingo thank you for all the info and suggestions!

[@artfulstories]

​​@@KaliFlamingohave you seen the fan videos of Marc's One Vision of Queen concert in Bogotá 2023 yet? The whole band is perfectly in the pocket (IMO) and the crowd is lovely too. You can find the vids here on KZbin, of course.

[@KaliFlamingo]

@@artfulstories Not yet. I'll check it out. I've gone off on another branch of music at the moment, but Marc is still one of my favourites.

[@DM-fp8uw]

A great cover, but if you want to blown away, listen to his Who Wants to Live Forever cover and of course Bohemian Rhapsody. 😊

[@paolagrasso2319]

You must listen his “ bohemian rapsody” version!

[@odonovan]

I feel so useless now. Usually, I'm the one to post the "Marc background info." This time, I got here late to the party. +points to the other comments+ What they said! 😁

[@hecticreaction]

Haha it’s all good! Thank you for your comment either way! You can always post more on the next Marc reaction!

[@KaliFlamingo]

@odonovan Haha. Got your back! 😁

[@hecticreaction]

@@KaliFlamingo 😆👍🏽

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

Some people actually joke (good-naturedly) that Marc is Freddie’s love child, because Marc’s mother was a single (unmarried) parent, and Freddie/Queen were actually in Canada around the time that Marc would’ve been conceived.😉

[@hecticreaction]

😂 this performance definitely adds to the conspiracy

[@marcfan1822]

Marc's parents were and are still married and he has two siblings. His father is a [French Canadian] church minister . There comes a point where its not fun any more and unkind to Marc's mother to make things up like that.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

@@marcfan1822 OhMyGoodness, my apologies!! I read this in the context of a string of comments a few years ago. (Nowadays, I would research what I read; this was early-on in my experience with the internet though, and it didn't even occur to me that it was made-up.)

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

@@marcfan1822 Thank you for setting the facts straight for me!

[@marcfan1822]

@@marciebulsaraorcutt Understandable. I've seen so called 'bio' facts for Marc on dodgy sites stating that he has a chlid, photo of a teen and all . Marc and Crystal donot have children and the photo was a girl whose surname was spelled quite differently obviously thieved from her page. . I've also seen fact sheets say he's 5'7" when he's actually 6' 2" i'm glad I could help.
