Marc Martel on New Zealand TV - Interview and Singing Live

[@vickymichael9851]

OMG!! That's quite extraordinary, he sounds like him & even looks like him!! Freddie is reborn people!! Marc you are absolutely amazing, so talented!! 😍😘

[@suellen1971]

Such a great interview!! Marc’s ability to just sing unaccompanied like that is incredible!! He’s unbelievable! ❤️

[@harrygosal]

Even if people say he are freddie's impersonator, i wouldn't hate him because he really bless with talent and has his own quality. He can play piano and guitar. And for me, he really natural to sing like fredie mercury's voice. You can hear he sing another song beside queen's song like "all i want for christmas is you".

[@ToddandRaquiForrest]

The are only two or three singers that would even dare do the impromptu songs on a radio show, without autotune, without rest, without warming up. He is a throwback to when vocalist actually had to be talented and do it with thier voice.

[@QueenCelebrationLive]

Thank you for everything, Todd. You are on point as always. If I had the only wish, I'd want at least the same amount of attention to his solo material. Impersonator was very very solid and now it's time for a second album ("Soundalike"? lol), preferably even more daring and hard rock with throwbacks to the epic classics. Marc's own sound is kind of an amalgam of Queen, Muse, Keane, U2 and some others, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with his natural voice, a mix of Freddie Mercury, George Michael and Jeff Buckley. I want him to be recognized as an artist and songwriter in his own right, finally... Actually, one more wish: A worthy duet. Ideally, with the fellow Canadian singer, amazing vocalist and a huge fan of his, as it turns out. Oh gosh, what's her name...

[@ThatllShowEm]

[@ToddandRaquiForrest]

@@QueenCelebrationLive I'd like him to change producers. Ben Shive is great for orchestrations, John Fields (who has produced a hundred pop albums by Pink, Miley, Selina, Back Street Boys) doesn't get more rock than Switchfoot, which is good, but not the throwback rock I'd like to hear. I'd like Marc to work with Nashville producer and guitar god Dann Huff. Huff's two albums with his band GIANT are the best hair band metal ever made. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pamylWN9jd5lebc

To hear what Freddies mum said 😢 that must be the greatest compliment!! Apparently Freddie used to wreck his voice all the time too tbf. He'd give it he's all for as long as he could get away with. Taking it easy was hardly in his nature was it let's be honest 😉 and for someone who was only 3 when Freddie died to be able to hear someone do those songs justice who sounds as incredible as Marc is just a total previlage , thank you Marc 👏

-Invited by a TV show where Celine Dion is present and requester Marc to sing for her. Take note: AS A SPECIAL GUEST SINGER REQUESTED BY A LEGEND. - Supplied some of Freddie's singing voice in the hit biopic movie Bohemian Rhapsody. (Ay-Oh for the official trailer and teaser, Killer Queen, Love of my Life, Happy Birthday, etc.) - Has 1.3million youtube subscribers -50million views is his highest views for his viral cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. The cover has 1.3million likes (I think?). - The official frontman for Queen Extravaganza. - Special guest in the Ellen Show - Special Guest performer with the two of the original members of Queen @ American Idol. - Queen Fans loved him very much that they wanted him to be the OFFICIAL FRONT MAN of the Queen Band. - Garnering International Fans over time. - and most of all, Freddie's mom give him the most heart warming and unforgettable compliment that a singer could ever hear. A compliment by a mother of the deceased and well loved Legend of rock and roll world. A valid proof that he really respecting Freddie's legacy. Isn't that amazing? It's an achievement already for a singer/artist like him. People are accusing Marc copying Freddie's style but the truth is never. He has his own style, techniques and tone. It just that his voice has resemblance to of Freddie's. His voice is natural. People throwing shades and negative words to Marc are the ones who only watched his covers performing Queen's song but not the other songs just like I will Always love you (with over 1.4 million views on his yt account). Martel is not Freddie. Does he has Mustache? Does he copy Freddie's wardrobe style? Does he copy Freddie's signature moves? No. Never. He has his own style. So stop throwing shades to him. Respect Marc. Appreciate him for reliving Freddie's legacy through singing Queen's hit. And most of all appreciate how talented he is. If you continue hating the guy he will succeed more. Stay pressed y'all!!

for me he is basically Freddie Mercury reincarnated and I hope he takes respect to that because that's what I feel happened to Freddie Mercury we all die in this world and I feel we do come back and one way or another maybe better than we left, and I feel that Freddie Mercury live through March and that's why I Marc can sound like him because that is Freddie Mercury in his soul and a spirit. I would like to see Marc do a song called Dream Warriors by Dokken it is one of the hardest songs to sing because of the high notes and maybe he'll read my comments here because it's the first song I ever got in some metal and it's the first song I ever had my mom by me and the first thing I'll ever learn to play drums on

It's not Queen, but some of the rockers from Marc's solo album "Impersonator" are not bad at all, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXiqpGp3qaaIeM0

[@fotzegamingandmedia1840]

True this. But could you imagine new songs being made by Freddie reincarnate?

[@ThatllShowEm]

6:40 - this answer makes me wonder if Marc decided that the 4-5 nights in a row for 11 weeks for QuEx might be a bit more intense of a schedule than he'd like to commit to do, especially if he wants his voice to still be there on that 4/5th night and into that 10/11th week. Wishing good health to all of those guys in the band with that grueling tour schedule.

[@ToddandRaquiForrest]

With Black Jacket Symphony he did a Friday night concert, followed by a Saturday and afternoon, and Saturday Evening concerts. 3 concerts (all him) where in Extravaganza he at least has other singers that fill in leads on different songs. So THAT was really gueling, but concert goers who went to all three BJS concerts said he was as good at the beginning as he was at the end. He does JUST NEEDS rest. The hardest thing for him is to sing early mornings. His WGN morning show song showed his voice fatigued (but he still nails it.)

[@ThatllShowEm]

@@ToddandRaquiForrest It probably helps that any time recently he's done several shows back-to-back, they're all in the same location. That QuEx tour, sleeping (or rather NOT sleeping) on the tour bus, with a new city every night, with single rest days after 3 back-to-back shows for 11 weeks straight... that tour schedule seems intense for this 9-to-5 worker bee. If I do any sort of speaking seminar for 3 days in a row, I don't have a voice for the next week, but I also don't use those muscles near as often. My throat hurts just thinking about it.

[@ThatllShowEm]

Wait, "all him"? Did Marc do I'm In Love With My Car, '39, or Good Company with BJS? He's got a few breaks as a vocalist if they're doing ANATO in full and have someone else cover Roger's and Brian's vocals. It's more "all Marc" with UQC than QuEx.
