Marc Martel - Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me (Elton John cover)

[@jxff2000]

George Michael would be so proud!!

Best thing I've ever heard in last 5 years.

[@patrickdesart5209]

Marc Martel A greatest Artist

[@TroySchulz]

Dude's a freak of nature! I also still miss his work with DownHere. 😞

[@karozhun_0895]

Can we like twice? Voice and talent of a generation, thank you sir

[@mauromonesi758]

Uno dei talenti piu grandi che ci sono oggi al mondo.... Vorrei che avesse cio che merita!!!!!

[@morriswilburn9858]

I am 68 years old, and have listened to music all my life. Pop, do-wop, rock, gospel, folk and country. I have never heard a male voice better than this, and only two or three as good.

[@Estrella21]

If you like Christmas music, you should check out Marc’s recordings. He releases new ones every year and there are some beautiful performances in there.

[@Superspockman]

I'm 72 and have been involved in the music industry for 50+ years of that. And, I AGREE!

[@bethanym9251]

[@kondziu_gra4126]

As a 33 years old i can t say i know as much as you guys . I know MJ existed and others too but for me N1 freddy N2 Marc 😊 I love his voice

[@brianhope5107]

I’m 10 yrs older and agree with all you said and his casual playing whilst singing is outstanding.

[@martycarmichael3885]

Just saw Marc in a Queen tribute in Houston a couple of months ago. Awesome show.

[@christheiss4511]

When God was handing out talent, Marc clearly visited the line multiple times...

[@ThatllShowEm]

Snuck a double portion

[@hotrodford32]

Why Marc is not the biggest superstar on the planet is a tragedy

[@_roket]

because superstars, this is a business and marketing, there are millions of talents in the world that no one knows about

[@elmorcesar7489]

Thank God coz youtube exist.

[@eduard_felsen]

Because he didn‘t COMPOSE all these songs he is playing and singing so genial. And you permanently have the impression it‘s Freddy.

[@Lionman177]

Because none told that, for example, George Michael sounds like someone else and singing someone else`s songs. And that`s what Marc usually does. If Marc has his own strong repertoire and unique voice, then he would have a chance.

[@yazdanzeinalzadeh7787]

[@the92project]

I can hear Freddie, Elton, and George in your voice, crazy

[@gilbertoguedes8510]

Eu também Definiu muito bem

[@OsvaldoLuisMarzzoni]

Sorry, but george michael, he cannot do....

[@laurieengel81]

My thoughts exactly! He found his niche!

[@laurieengel81]

Not to mention his mad musicianship...makes it look so easy to combine both!

[@NitroBrasil]

I felt the same!

[@andal4526]

it was an honor for me to see this video. thank you and greets from bavaria

Yesss!!!

[@ozkvitel2165]

That would be awesome.

[@thefilmschlock]

This is awesome. A guy who sounds like Freddie Mercury, doing an Elton John song, sung by George Michael.

[@JamieZarrr]

He should be called Farrokh Dwait Panayiotou.

[@DeuSJaguaR]

Hahaha way too deaf tone to say he sounds like Freddie , of course if you don't have any musical training any singer will sound the same to you... hahahhaaha

[@JamieZarrr]

@@DeuSJaguaR you do know the truth, master... :P

[@benjaminbloom7069]

Yeah that instrument sounds like piano as well😑

[@denisebranquinho2377]

Freddie Mercury didn't sing so well like this guy...

[@richardpatty3668]

WOW. JUST WOW.

[@aaronkoeppe9057]

This is just beautiful you don't hear no days. majority of "singers" in today's time actually playing instruments and using vocals. Now does its just auto tune and playing music in the computer

[@Jegiro]

Marc is seriously one of the most talented vocalists I’ve ever seen or heard. It’s insane that he is not superstar status, it’s like listening to George Michael, Freddie Mercury and Elton John all in one!!

[@brookeneese2652]

Completely under appreciated!

[@Schmidthorst69]

And don't forget: he's an absolutely brilliant pianist!

[@farrahwalters22]

😳😳😳 what the hell did i just watch. dude is FLAWLESS.

[@malemanjulpax2155]

His piano skills is so underappreciated. That's how great he is.

[@scubarojo]

Not any more.

[@Keyser_Soze739]

Please stop these RIDICULOUS “underrated” comments with every artist. Not because it’s the first time YOU see or hear him that he’s underrated.

[@truthseeker7794]

Too much of it here though. The piano was too overpowering on this song. It stifled the song.

[@matthewwheeler64]

What. Now you are George!!!!

[@innovativeinnovation6629]

Marc is the most versatile singer I have ever heard.

[@marcfan1822]

He really really is : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHSblYhsrdF2qs0

[@jamessmyth2596]

I think Marc is an exceptional pianist. Even if he didn’t sing, his piano skills would still turn heads.

[@jenniferwwilson4132]

Oh the memories this is bringing me Marc’s AMAZING

[@katiescholar3324]

Marc I would pay to see you!!! You are just amazing!

[@earlmontealegre7724]

I wonder if Elton has seen this knowing how close he and freddie were. Someone needs to show this to Elton. How is it possible to sound like Elton, George, and Freddie combined? Whoa

[@angelinewilson5851]

I've just recently been shown this sensational singer and I'm like where the heck have I been? I've never heard of him before until recently. Just so amazingly blessed!

[@genehauser9217]

With a voice and talent like that Marc should be an international Superstar.

[@papabearM3]

He is getting there.

[@rudygracia5573]

The problem IS,He sounds like Mercury(vibrato)&Michael.People wanna hear somebody different,AND a SONGWRITER.Same with M.Cavanaugh.

[@joeb6947]

George would love your cover .great job

[@majkosk8x]

vocal is amazing, piano too, but together.... just wow... what a talent!

[@farrahwalters22]

what in the world..... i'm just now finding this unbelievable talent now!!! why??? this is phenomenal.

[@catherinefuregno4316]

He can sing anyone he chooses. His talent is amazing and underrated. Is it jealousy I wonder.

[@lynneps864]

Hello Marc, I am a 77yo huge rock/pop fan since back in the day. Have been blessed enough to watch George Michael perform four times when he came to Perth Australia. All this aside you have the most wonderful voice, no matter who people say you sound like, you are unique. My so. Also a muso hated to do cover songs for years, yes he said it was a dirty word, but now though he writes originals he has joined a voter band for DEF LEPPARD and yes, he is Joe Elliot, and yes, it pays the bills! Please come to Perth in my lifetime. Wonderful original Marc. Lynne

[@papabearM3]

Marc has been to Perth, if I am not mistaken. Hopefully he and his band do another tour in Australia soon.

[@Marcmarteluniverse]

Hello my dear fan, thanks for your endless love and support over the years, I really appreciate and I hope you don't ever stop.

[@AshleyBloom13]

This is the ONLY cover I’ve ever heard of this song that’s worthy of both George and Elton. Wow!

[@bethanym9251]

I heard his acoustic guitar Freedom cover and it’s also amazing. My jaw dropped and I actually got weepy.

Good grief! His voice!!! AND he plays piano and guitar! Thank you, Marc, for sharing your unbelievably gorgeous God-given voice!

[@evanauditoredafrienze]

I can’t explain why I was expecting him to say “ladies and gentlemen Mr Elton John” after the first chorus 😂

Me too 😅😅😅😂😂😂

LMAO SAME

[@playitstrange129]

That’s cos you’re used to the live version.

[@Bigmikepolzien]

That's SIR Elton John!

[@mrbrianc]

Instead he changed the pitch of his voice to sound more like Sir Elton... absolutely fabulous

[@jillp1923]

First he sounds like Freddie Mercury. Now he sounds like George Michael. There is no end to this man's talents as a singer and musician. I am in awe.😊❤😊
