REACTION: Marc Martel - Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen cover)

[@LoZenith75]

I saw him live and I cried!!!! It was almost like to be to a Queen concert! He is amazing.

[@craigsimmonds6201]

I love your reaction to Marc Martel, been following him for a while! he is AWESOME!! don't you agree? an incredible guy and performer, Freddie must have passed on voice to Marc after sadly parting from our world,

[@marlahudgins7038]

Marc is incredible.. i believe that the real high notes were The drummer, Roger Taylor

[@odonovan]

Indeed they were. In a lot of Queen studio recordings, Roger would hit the high notes for Freddie. In concert, they were usually on a backing track if Freddie wasn't going to avoid them altogether.

[@MegazoneMusic23]

True 1. Roger Taylor, the drummer, is the one that hit the high notes 2. Marc isnt classically trained. His Mum taught him and she was a church pianist 3.Marc Taught himself to sing by imitating singers that he thought he could learn from

[@patriciomartinibarra2917]

Her reaction was literally like mine when i watched the video for the first time lol i like that God bless Freddie and Marc!

[@ashpreetam7444]

This is definitely one of the Top 3 reaction videos for this performance.

[@elijahjones2749]

True genuine reaction

[@markrussoproteus845]

Hey ,hello ,first time here ,subscribed and liked.I am a guitarist ,playing ,touring ,recording and my daughter told me about Marc ,bc she grew up in a Queen house.I have been obsessed with Freddie since the late 70s ,so I soak all the Marc ,I can get my hands on.I love the smile on your face ,the expressions of disbelief..... Exactly my reaction.I was waiting for that one note ,or flaw ,but it never came. Just a phenomenal voice and frontman for Queen. As if Freddie came down from heaven and touched Marcs throat ,blessed him to carry his legacy.

[@soniabrant8094]

Incredible stunning.... so remarkable and better than the original and of course original is original

[@santi3991]

Now THIS is a reaction to Marc's magic, the first time you listen to this man perform you simply are left speechless...

[@TD402dd]

He will sing the songs in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody". This was sent to Queen for the movie, and Marc got the singing voice part. You said Marc doesn't have the high range, but in other Queen songs he does.

[@ToddandRaquiForrest]

Marc was taught piano by his mother, the church pianist. He taught himself to sing by listening to singers he thought he could learn from.

[@odonovan]

Exactly... Marc has never had a singing lesson...ever.

[@QueenoftheNorth]

Apologies, he definitely sounds it!

[@sethgunther5514]

Why do I always see you in the comment section of every video with Marc in it? Are you apart of the conspiracy

[@TheMan21892]

....Quick! Cheese it!

[@voicije]

@@sethgunther5514 why do you care?...and ...you...are you in it too?

[@yvesbouthillette9233]

You have to listen Killer Queen by Marc to !

[@ugadawgs1990]

Marc actually is self taught and not classically trained. It makes it even more amazing.

[@oss5645]

1:22 that "open your eyes" holyy cowww so on point

[@sam1am_30]

Yep sure is👌

[@thegorn68]

Marc's voice was used for the movie that was just out. Freddie's singing voice in the film was a combination of old recordings of Freddie, Marc's voice and Rami Malek the actor. You should check out more of Marc's Queen videos on his KZbin channel.

[@odonovan]

thegorn68, it's already been disproven that Rami's voice was used at all, for the singing parts of the movie. He had to sing so the audience would see his neck muscles moving and know he wasn't just mouthing the words but his vocals were not used. It was all Freddie and Marc.

[@kevinzhang3313]

@@odonovan Not sure where you're getting your facts, but Rami Malek sang as least one or a few parts. He wasn't comfortable with singing, but the director said he did a few parts.

[@fnegnilr10]

So nice you didn't interrupt the song (like most other reactors do) every 20 seconds to show how well you can sing like Freddy. Nice job...

[@theatxguy]

I watch this often... It’s so great to see your facial expressions when you hear Marc hit those subtle nuances of Freddie Mercury. I look forward to seeing more reactions! Check out Marc has a series of Queen one takes.

[@sava9e266]

Marc incredible. Freddie greatest male singer of all time

[@gcarap]

Roger Taylor and Brian May have already hired Marc twice. First to lead Queen Extravaganza in 2012: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIW5Ypaeg62pepY Then more recently for the movie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXerq3mLZsaEg8U

[@richardquinlan8199]

Jaw dropping.

[@thhunter]

Check out his Killer Queen cover. He's also a virtuoso whistler. Talk about winning the genetic lottery.

[@dana_brooke_27]

Marc never had a vocal coach...natural born singer like Freddie.

[@kevinzhang3313]

To be honest, a good ear and observation is all it takes. But not everyone is as perceptive, and you can't blame them. That's not the only thing that makes great singers what they are - it's willingness, and not giving up, and constantly progressing...they are all natural born singers.

[@marionascimento450]

He actually did hit that high note in impromptu bo rap

[@Famintocozinhapratica]

Impressionante!!!!!

[@bellinajo69]

Freddy didn't hit the high note that you are referring to. I believe it was Roger Taylor. He did Freddie's part in that song.

[@emelianemone777]

haven't even watched yr reaction yet, but i can already tell you that you will freakin' be impressed, if nothing else. marc is a top notch musician & vocalist, whether attempting to bring queen's music back to life as authentically as possible, or singing in another style all together. his cover of whitney houston/dolly parton's i will always love you (acoustic, one take solo cover also), is a particular favorite of mine. if you can find the time to react to it i would greatly appreciate it. all of his own original songs, covers of various artists, & of course, queen covers are just insanely good. he's one of my favorite musicians, honestly. i'm super excited to be going to see him in july! i believe him & his queen tribute band are touring worldwide this whole year essentially. check it out if yr interested! :) LINK TO WHITNEY/DOLLY COVER: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqCqn5mMbsprrpI EDIT: if yr referring to the high notes in the middle of the song where there would normally be back & forth vocals, that's because it's actually may or taylor who sang the highest notes at that climax, not freddie. marc can only sing so many parts at once! ;) he can hit the high notes, i promise.

[@user-je5de5qp6r]

I think 10 out of 10 really good.

[@alejandrocastro8755]

D lujo saludos desde 🇨🇱

[@dannybrown2857]

You should listen to him singing Killer Queen

[@2350cmart]

Other reaction videos can learn from this...you don't have to speak to react. Your eyes told me everything you were thinking.

[@algallego]

He intentionally sang the lower notes which Freddy used to; it was Roger who sang the higher falsetto notes in Bohemian Rhapsody. He's been singing it for a long time. Check him out singing a song called 'How Many Kings' with Downhere. His falsetto is definitely pretty high ranged. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZq2mqmHot99ldk

[@claudiofox4421]

Caspita 😱

[@elmoelms2743]

Your face was a picture

[@RitsychServare]

Just 'cause he didn't do the high note in the "For me!" part doesn't mean he can't hit that high. He's obviously got great range and I think it's good that he didn't do that high note 'cause it's not really sung by Freddie (but it's fine 'cause I just sing along with him and I try to do that note myself, failing miserably though). But this was an unbelievably stunning performance.

[@bradgrauer9148]

The high notes are done by Rodger Taylor without a doubt

[@innovativeinnovation6629]

8:30 He is a self taught singer and never had any vocal training---just very talented.

[@TheDavalope]

Freddie did not sing the super high range notes in Bohemian Rhapsody. The drummer sang those notes. If you listen carefully you will hear Freddie sings the deeper notes that Marc sang.

[@mjarabez3113]

Great... São Paulo Brazil 21/03/2020 01:55am

[@agentwho1933]

He was very smart at avoiding the high note part “for meee” because that’ll be a very difficult thing to do

[@sam1am_30]

I agree😁

[@babooshka7601]

@@sam1am_30 Marc does it occasionally live.

[@tyleyden8695]

Freddy didnt do the super high notes..the drummer did

[@dietmarurban4891]

Perfekt ^

[@emmaevelynchiu]

please react to more of marc's videos he is simply amazing!! I would also highly recommend a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by a korean group Forestella which consist of classically trained and pop singers, theirs and marc's Bohemian Rhapsody are my FAVOURITES :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKm4coasZr9lirc

[@ugadawgs1990]

I can’t think of a situation like this where sooooo many fans of a group (Queen) are begging them to fire their current lead singer (Lambert) and replace them with someone else (Martel) who is clearly levels above the existing guy.

[@xmasbunnyscotland5355]

Brian and Roger will never and I mean never get rid of Adam they chose him because he has one of the greatest voices in the world he has been with them for 9/10 years, you can't even be a true Queen fan, if you were you would respect B & R's choice, shame nothing will change, why do you think they are called QAL?

[@diegof.8052]

That girl is incredible, with one eye she looks at the piano and with the other she looks at Marc 😅 Nah, Just kidding. 😅

[@DonnieDio]

Disagree on being "classically trained" vocally, think some people can pick it up from watching/listening to other vocalists. I think youtube ect has ended the entire idea of being "classically trained".
