You know Freddie is a legend when people that SOUND SIMILAR to him become stars...

[@cannedyams9977]

Marc Martel definitely alters his voice to sound like Freddie. He even implied that in this interview. His natural voice is a lot like Freddie’s, but he purposely takes it to the next level

[@featheryfemme]

@@cannedyams9977 Well, obviously. When he sings as himself, he sings as himself, but when he has to sound like Freddie, he's going to take it as far as he can.

To be fair, he has an amazing voice and could have made it really far even without the comparisson to Freddie.

[@DeeckyRizzo]

Such a nice interview! They all seem so nice. I want to drink coffee with them, lol.

[@jez2192]

No one can replace Freddie but the problem with Adam Lambert is very simple. He doesn't sound like Marc Martel

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

Jessie James Butawan i agree, in part. i think Marc is diplomatic, but the OTHER reason is: He's a straight, Christian Republican. Lambert is a gay Flamboyant (Dem/Liberal?) who is more "Freddie" in spirit/embodied. In other words, Adam worked with Ryan Murphy on glee, who did AHS, a show that just wrapped it's 8th season by featuring "Anton Lavey" as a (murdering) Satanist...

Freddy Mercury's was Queen... When he died (1991) it was the death of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor have never managed to get recognize without Freddy. Yet they chose an amateur like singer by the name of Adam Lambert (drag Queen) to keep Brian May the big star of the group. Yet there is a singer by the name of Marc Martel who sings like Freddy and who is ignored by Brian May and Roger Tayler because they will lose their identity and they are easy to replace.

That’s it, I want a DNA test on this guy from Ancestry DNA or 23andMe. He must be related to the legendary Freddie Mercury! He sounds so much like him when he sings, it’s incredible! Even from reading some of these comments, some of you are saying he’s got a lot of similar physical characteristics to the legendary Queen singer.

[@angelpie2398]

I posted a similar quote that I would not be shocked if they are related. Marc needs to check on Ancestry. I believe they are related perhaps thru a great great- grandmother or grandfather.Some where they are connected by lineage. Also to have talent like that, it can be passed on to other generations in the family and to have similar facial features does indicate they are related.

Well freddie was straight before realizing he was bi, marc was born in 1976, queen became famous in 74 after killer queen and toured america for the first time, 75 toured American again and also churned out bohemian rhapsody,think he toured america again in 76, freddie realized he was bi in 1977 but still saw men and women while touring before that "allegedly" and especially after marry left him.
