Vocal Coach REACTS - "The Mercurotti" Marc Martel sings Nessun Dorma

[@PK--ITA]

Marc Martel is a freaking genius, his voice should be declared a Canadian National Treasure like Elks, Devin Townsed, C. Dion & L.Fabian and the Great Lakes.

[@BG-ei5rj]

Marc is an absolute legend.

[@adamturner8732]

Marc is a vocal god. Pure gift from God

[@JoshCarlos1998]

Surprisingly enough: Marc has mentioned he isn’t classically trained in the opera art form. So seeing him pull this off knowing that he isn’t professionally trained in it is wild…

[@Estrella21]

Yes! Up to this point he was completely self-taught!

[@stuartbuck]

@Mike Gorski You're probably thinking of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ3WoaWGe7uLfqM

[@mayganphynix8267]

@Mike Gorski that sounds as self taught in my mind. No one can get good at singing without SOME form of education. Very neat to know! Thanks for sharing.

[@truckerswife5060]

Marc has his song "Dead Ringer" and others on his Impersonator album. All the songs are amazing.

[@25easystreet]

You should watch his video of his own original song "Stalemate". Plus, you need to watch the Mercurotti video all the way to the end!!!!!

[@Estrella21]

I love that Marc was like the Canadian Footloose. His dad was a pastor and he didn’t grow up listening to rock music and had no idea who Queen was. So he didn’t know he sounded like Freddie until he was touring with his band Downhere and people would tell him he sounded like Freddie. I first heard him on Christian radio KLUV and commented to my husband that the singer sounded like a smoother version of young Freddie. Now he’s touring the world selling out his Queen tribute shows! ❤

[@artfulstories]

He did listen to Pearl Jam and other grunge rockers. Also Aerosmith...

[@mariiiioh]

Downhere played in our little church back in the day, his voice blew us away!

[@martymcpeak4748]

the first time Roger Taylor heard Marc sing love of my life he cried because Marc sounded so much like his friend Freddie. Cheers

[@bnjmnwst]

He also, in Downhere, sounded like Kevin Max from DC Talk, to me.

[@Estrella21]

@@bnjmnwst he did to me too. I remember when I first discovered Downhere and heard Marc, I thought it was Kevin Max.

[@melly7210]

Thx for this great Music Tip! I didn´t know him before. Next year he is here in concert. I think i will buy a ticket ) You didnt saw the end of the video with the beard) Greetings from Germany

[@amberamell3834]

Omg! Totally looks like Queen! Crazy!!!

[@good_words4507]

Love your reaction, and key points. Yes, Marc has solo albums, and was in his own band for 13 years, called downhere. You missed the very end! The best part!

[@emelianemone777]

i was convinced you were going to actually make it to the end of the video...& then that jump back just obliterated all of my hopes & dreams, haha. it's a fairly funny moment, sadly missed by nearly everyone. regardless, been saying it for years now...marc's talent is worth celebrating & reveling in the spender of. thanks for featuring him on your channel!

[@JoshCarlos1998]

Highly recommend checking out Marc’s unchained Melody cover. It’s fantastic plus his other non Queen covers as well (Elton John and George Michael covers he does are pretty good too).

[@havoc092]

Martel is just Stooopid good.

[@djz5456]

You might want to listen to Marc’s rendition of I Will Always Love You and Unchained Melody. Both are simple and beautiful! Marc also has a lot of his own original music on KZbin! ❤️🎼🎹🎸🥁🎤

[@KaliFlamingo]

Marc does two operatic duets with Natalia Krishtopets. There isn't a video though, just an audio version. He also does a number of non-Queen covers - probably the two best are I Will Always Love You and Unchained Melody. But also Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me and Right Here Waiting. As well, he has his own original songs.

[@hd9700]

I liked his cover of Seal’s Kiss from a Rose

[@gcarap]

"He's a dead ringer for dead singers." I...well...DIED laughing :)

[@artfulstories]

He has an original song called Dead Ringer. Not my fave of his, but it's pretty cool!

[@thomasmcmahon4554]

Before Marc did the Queen thing, he was involved in this band. This is one of my favorites. Jason starts the singing, but it doesn't take long for Marc to join in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naG3k6WfgJiLmsU

[@thomasmcmahon4554]

Actually, this is a better song for vocal quality. And Marc is the featured singer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDRc5aPbq5mlaM Raincoat

[@papabearM3]

@@thomasmcmahon4554 Marc & Jason started downhere together in 1999, wrote a dozen albums worth of amazing originals and received a slew of prestigious awards long before this Queen thing. Martel is a proper musician who has been at it for 25 years! A phenomenal talent!

[@thomasmcmahon4554]

@@papabearM3 1000% agreed!

[@cheeselewoo4825]

Check out Marc Martel Unchained Melody in his own voice, he is so talented.

[@Luana6350]

So amazing - I love it❣

[@Estrella21]

I just got to where you ask for Marc originals. He has a variety of original stuff but here’s a fun one that I think you would enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3eWfnaQmLaIhsU

[@corinarojas5092]

Fantastic

[@lea-anne9133]

We need to hear you doing some opera Ken!!!🙏🏻

[@michelle32855]

Marc is fantastic! Yet another Canadian talent of whom to be proud. Now, please do have a look at "Two Country Singers Try Singing Opera": Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown perform Nessun Dorma. It's surprisingly good :)

[@truckerswife5060]

Yes.

[@ruthbentley7560]

Love it

[@michbenny1363]

I discovered your channel due to your review of metal such as Queensryche and Iron Maiden but wanted to see if you reviewed someones version of Nessum Dorma and I'm not disappointed.

[@tc_north4864]

DownHere Marc Martel Band

[@wafive]

Marc should be fronting Queen right now. One of the most under appreciated talents on stage today.

[@odonovan]

YOU MISSED THE END OF THE VIDEO!!!!! +facepalm+

[@artfulstories]

I'm always, "...on the edge of my seat..." whenever the reactors watch this one, wondering if they'll let the video play to the end. Lol

[@jamcam9]

All good, not much missed.

[@codymarrott5720]

Miss ur a capella reactions :(

[@CPyJIb]

Great charisma and analysis. I'v been watching some of your beatbox reactions. I wonder how "MB14 - La Cup 2018" went past your attention ?

[@ericzeichert511]

But can Pavarotti sing "Killer Queen".

[@Danny30011980]

I love classical music. I'd wish I had a voice of the likes of Katherine Jenkins and so on.... When Mark does the lalala singing on the middle the "Da-lalaaaa" - so Freddie

[@MarianTamaritFlores]

Reaction Marc Martel and jonathan cilia faro too much love will kill you pliss 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@tc_north4864]

DownHere his Christian Rock band

[@chipsunday5563]

Dude, you have to check Manowar's Eric Adams version of Nessun Dorma

[@reddragonready]

Hi Ken, have you seen Jonas Kaufmann singing this at the Proms? If not, try and check it out! It's gorgeous!

[@reddragonready]

@hitKenLavigne Piss off scammer

[@krytietv6831]

You missed the best part at the very end where Marc is shaving off his beard. “It’s all about the straight line!”

[@Vatvor]

Can you please make a reaction to Hanabie? At the song L.C.G you will hear the most of the different vocal styles of the lead singer Yukina and also some very nice singing of the guitarist Matsuri.

[@Colby_Attack]

You should check out the Home Free guys version!

[@martymcpeak4748]

Marc when he first started playing clubs always had people telling him he sounded like Freddie, So honestly Marc naturally sounds like Freddie but he has learned some of the mannerisms Freddie had.

[@ThatllShowEm]

The similarities were brought up when he was singing in churches too.

[@lobomotores850]

Hi Kevin good reaction... Please react to Manowar "swords in the wind" and let yourself be carried away by an epic story that transports you to the battlefield

[@par500dragon7]

Great reaction, as usual! A couple of things: last month VoicePlay released an acapella version of In the Hall of the Mountain King that's insanely good. And as Christmas approaches, a request that you check out Geoff Castellucci's version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen... which is brilliant.

[@ericsaari2901]

I have two suggestions for you Ken! How about revisiting Rolling in the Deep, after Chester's beautiful cover, and checking out KZ do it? She has two versions of this, the one on The Singer anf the one on Wish Bus. I suggest seeing The Singer first, because that gives you KZ's whole package, as she is an amazing stage performer, too, but Wish Bus is stunning as well. And for the other, I'd suggest anything by LiSA from First Take. Can get subtitles using CC. Not much to say about LiSA except that she is world class, sings with such intensity, and has the rare gift to carry all of her emotion right into her singing. All the First Take performances are so good - Honura is the most emotional, Gurenge shows a lot of her agility, Unlasting is the most intense - and they are all just her voice and a piano.

[@amybrazier3346]

Have you seen the home free guys do this song? So good!

[@steveinman1157]

Love your reactions! Ken, please take a look at an amazing UK singer, Lucy Thomas’s cover of Hallelujah. I’d provide a link but I’m not sure how! 😞

[@Elk34355]

Plz react to show go new video it’s if we’re together

[@everythingforfun7104]

Please react to live performances of famous Indian Singer Sonu Nigam. You will be amazed by his vocal skills. He is also known as Lord of Chords, He takes Live performances to another level. Eagerly waiting for this reaction.

[@Rodzilla5332]

Morrisette has a new wish bus performance. Gusto Ko Nang Bumitaw. It's insane. Since you will never ever ever ever ever ever review your fellow Kanucks, Spiritbox, Rule of Nines, studio vocal one take, please do Mori!!!!

[@dunewalks5988]

Sweet creamy butter… it’s Freddie. Don’t ever forget it. I’m also not sure you are qualified to talk to us about this. So I’ll switch off, after posting

[@lobomotores850]

NESSUN DORMA by Eric Adams from MANOWAR is much better... Sorry muy inglish is awful

[@maxmorelli193]

Don't like him at all, he is very good n skilled, but definitely don t like
