Musician/Producer Reacts to "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" (Elton John Cover) by Marc Martel

[@MegaSlowburner]

Marc is a chameleon. Always changing colors. I love that. Keep going my Canadian brother

[@MBohnerASBTWH]

Marc Martel is a blessing.

[@ManxAndy]

Is there nothing Marc cannot just absolutely nail ….? The guy is a legend, he’s Freddie, Pavarotti, George Michael…..who else is he going to drop on us…..with his insane talent…..💕👍🇮🇲

[@robsonrobinho33]

God bless you and Marc Martel!

[@bertielee1]

I totally agree, the song in itself is a masterpiece. And then, you have Marc's version that makes it even more fantatstic...Stellar!

[@Trapper50cal]

Yeah, that was like a 500ft home run...just knocked it out of the park.

[@petenas4404]

This guy got to get together with elton!

[@sandrorebonatosoares3456]

What Queen is waiting to start a world tour with Marc Martel ???? I never gonna understand that. Martel is a phenom

[@good_words4507]

Marc makes songs shine by pairing songs down to instrument and vocal. Glad you appreciate this version, Jeff.

[@gasoleena7172]

This is a stunning performance. I’m amazed at how good Marc is at singing rock and pop. His voice is very versatile and beautiful.

[@evolvic]

Marc Martel is an incredible gift. He is just incredible. 👏❤ Great reactions too buddy. 🙏

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you! 😊😊😊

[@TTkingsman]

How ridiculously good that was. He is unbelievable vocalist and artist with astounding voice. What is interesting, he doesn't sound Freddie all the time, if he doesn't want to. Few high notes reminded a little but that's all. Just incredible cover by Marc.

[@artfulstories]

He can practically pull out anything from his pocket. 😂 Yet, he said during his early days with his band dOWNHERE, sometimes he'd say before the show he'll try really hard NOT to sound like Freddie, but he'd get even more comments after the gig, "You know who you remind me of?"

[@TTkingsman]

@@artfulstories Heh! Yeah, it's probably both a blessing and a curse. 😁

[@Trapper50cal]

His Freedom! '90 is bananas

[@harb863]

This guy is great! Love his Queen stuff and his own songs! Used to listen to him during his Downhere days.....

[@bnjmnwst]

Downhere was the best Christian band ever! I miss them.

[@rog2224]

There's a version of Last Song by Elton John that Marc did on one of his livestreams. It's a little raw at the edges, (and there are sync issues from the stream), since he'd not rehearsed it, but Martel's "a little raw" is better than some people after a week's rehearsal. Comes up easily enough on search.

[@JoshCarlos1998]

😂 the story he mentions at the end of that performance was pretty sweet too lol

[@rubenoscarrodriguez1577]

Marc =Freddie =George = Elton

[@StrateleStudios]

👏👏👏

[@deeyoder]

Ohhh-I've been waiting for this! Before I head to my writing cave for November, I've been watching for one of your reactions to a Marc Martel video. Yay! Made my night. I LOVE this song anyway because it was my senior year of high school class song, and Marc does it with perfection and puts great emotion into it. THANK YOU for this reaction. I'm all smiles.

[@StrateleStudios]

Yay!!! So happy this brings you joy Dee! 🫶

[@mnfarmgirl55]

I love how your face lights up when you hear great music! 😊. Also, I think Marc’s piano skills are underrated.

[@JoshCarlos1998]

Yeah he’s a great player. I remember in an interview he said he started taking lessons when he was 6. So he’s basically been playing his entire life. Helps also that his mom was a musician as well.

[@StrateleStudios]

☺️ it tickles my brain! 😄❤

[@EmilysDance1]

Same! I loved watching this reaction so much!

[@TimOldBag]

Grandiose.

[@AgenteusaRR]

He really might be one of the best male vocals out there today, I was hesitant at first but the more he delivers the more I get convinced. It's not the fact he has a great voice, that seems clear to me, but he can really emulate others, the vocal fries, the little twitches, only bad thing is he isn't charismatic since he is quite a shy guy

[@JoshCarlos1998]

He’s mentioned he grew up as sort of an introvert. But when he’s on stage he has immense charisma. His live performances are amazing.

[@gasoleena7172]

I’ve seen Marc live and he is very charismatic! I attend a lot of rock concerts and he is the best live rock singer I’ve ever heard live.

[@davewarrender2056]

Jesus h Christ! , Can't think of anything else to say😢🤯😱

[@claudiabrossette8987]

I can well remember that this song was one of my favorites in the 80s. I also get goosebumps when Marc sings it and I don't miss the full arrangement for a second. His piano version is so brilliant. The only thing I miss is the "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Elton John" in the middle of the song. 😉🥰😂

[@StrateleStudios]

Elton John’s autobiography was one of the best I’ve read (listened to from Audible cuz I do a lot of driving). His life story is so full of incredible triumphs and horrific despair. It really showed the human side of the man. I so loved it!

[@claudiabrossette8987]

@@StrateleStudios Elton John is one of the last living legends we have left. I am curious about his autobiography and will read it. Thank you Jeff 😊

[@elmoelms2743]

You have a wonderful smile and obviously enjoy what you are doing. I’ve only just started watching your reviews and am also a great admirer of Marc martial. Keep doing what you are doing it’s fantastic

[@StrateleStudios]

Oh thank you! 🫶

[@bazsee77]

Please ask him to do a George Michael tribute Concert!

[@ToddandRaquiForrest]

Few note it, but Marc's pronunciation makes lyrics more understandable and therefore powerful. Elton was indicipherable at times.

[@EmilysDance1]

I have to agree here! Marc has allowed me to correct so many wrong lyrics I have been singing my entire life...lol

[@philaphans2536]

Dear Lord. That's Freddy Mercury.

[@caprise-music6722]

So good

[@gvlee2810]

sounds like when George Micheal sang with Elton.

[@lynsmith1096]

Check out the other side of Floor with her solo live concert in Amsterdam she is putting it out live on U-Tube tomorrow. The prayers are with her after here cancer operation today.

[@MegaSlowburner]

Oh yeah he doesn't have gray hair. It is just a drift of snow...lol

[@odonovan]

As Marc says, this is really more of a George Michael cover. You really don't hear any Elton John in Marc's version at all.

😫

[@glynemartin]

The original is by Elton John however...

[@TTkingsman]

...and your point is?

[@glynemartin]

@@TTkingsman It comes over as if George Michael was the original...

[@TTkingsman]

@@glynemartin No. He clearly said he makes a version of Elton's song like George did...because it's Marc's favourite version of this song.

[@glynemartin]

@@TTkingsman ok

[@artfulstories]

Marc even says in the beginning, "It's obviously an Elton John song".
