This might be the best compliment. Check out Marc's new Queen cover here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqtnldip0rC0oZ8.html

Voice and physic too

Not many people know this song, unfortunately. Hope that will change.

Epic song and a magnificent version!

@@QueenCelebrationLive i think your wrong about that this song has always been huge

Sorry Sara, when you really listen to this song you will find out that it is the first stalker song in music history. Most of the people say the fisrt stalker song was Sting `s Every breath you take. But they are wrong.

Sorry Sara but this is the first stalker song in music history.

This is the man who should be touring with Queen.

I agree, but I think the problem is that the rest of the members of Queen don't want someone that sounds like Freddie for whatever reason. There is the fact of possible accusations of 'copying' Freddie and that they are trying to live off of 'Freddie's coattails' or maybe it will 'spook' them, or they decided to 'move on'. Either way it's a stupid idea NOT to put him out front.

And it's a shame. In my opinion, Marc Martel has the necessary qualities to sing with Queen. Perhaps many people differ by the fact that they already admire Adam Lambert. But Freddie Mercury got used to his powerful voice. Some people comment that Freddie, for the 21st century, had a very stylized vision about Queen's music. Still, I think, the band should consider looking for a strong vocalist, because, Queen is a band, not a person. As I said in another publication: Queen should sound like QUEEN ... And Adam Lambert is perfect for bands like NSYN'C, BackstreetBoys, Five, or any other that reveals the thirty-something that I am. When Paul Rodgers participated, I liked him more. He is a contemporary rockstar with the band, he knows about rock, his voice is strong, rugged. That's what I mean. They wanted to give Adam the opportunity to go out, once and for all, to do concerts and fully enjoy each staging, but if he had the opportunity to go to a current concert, he would do it for Brian, for Roger and for the image of Freddie that will appear on screen singing Love Of my Life. It was a pleasure to answer you, Ron Cluney.

Ron Cluney Journey didn't care about that crap when they hired Arnel Pineda, and they are not only still touring, but also released two albums with the new lead singer. They finally realized that Steve Perry's voice is _legendary_ and gave up the idea of reinventing the wheel, especially when it comes to doing the old hits from the 80s.

Exactly as I said. Didn't want to 'copy', you used 'legendary'. Same meaning. Ultimately, it's all up to you guys whatever decisions you come up with. I just know there would be a large following if Marc was in that position, but it's not up to me, or the hundreds of thousands (or more) fans and followers out there. ;) And for the record, I don't listen to the 'new' journey, since I don't think anyone has even come close to sounding like Steve Perry (not anywhere near what Marc can do as far as sounding like Freddie), and I want to listen to Journey, not some other band, which without Steve Perry is exactly what they are.

It's amazing that this song is not more known.

Marc is no longer w/QUEEN Extravaganza but does have his own QUEEN band The Ultimate QUEEN Celebration...

I totally just did the same thing! Marc really is the only closest vocalist to sound like Freddie ever. 😍

Sorry but *Freddie

artful stories beautifully said! I agree.

artful stories I call Marc’s style RomRock, as in Romantic Rock! He is resurrecting rock with each song. That is also a very romantic notion, don’t you think?

M3 m3 m3 love that!! 😍😍🤩🤩🔥🔥

@@MournfulWhispers compared to everyone else on earth, yes, it does

@@MournfulWhispers yes..

_You Take My Breath Away_ is one of Freddie's most beautiful creations.

@@QueenCelebrationLive I personally think it is THE most beautiful creation. It's my favorite song he sings.

TJ Anderson I agree, Marc does it justice! 🤩

Look of his eyes too.

impresionante verdad?

No, este sujeto debe crear su propia música y canciones.

@@pedromendozaaristegui5974 Tiene su propia banda y trabajo de solista, lamentablemente naturalmente su voz es muy similar a la de Freddie y la gente lo reconoce como "El tipo que imita a la perfección a Freddie Mercury", pocos saben de su trabajo

@@pedromendozaaristegui5974 En su banda (Downwarren) ya se había vuelto un chiste basicamente, la gente siempre le dijo "Tu voz es muy similar a la de Freddie Mercury", por lo que Martel antes de empezar un recital siempre decía "Bueno chicos!, voy a intentar cantar como Marc Martel"

@@marshallalexander8228 En efecto, tener la voz similar a Freddie Mercury lo ah undido.

Everyone wonders why, but Brian and Roger are making the mistakes of their lives with their lambert choice. They are old fools and clearly need a better adviser if they have one

MockupRender They are doin' alright commercially and still packing stadiums, so no mistakes on their part. But at some point they've almost abandoned QuEx. In an entire year of 2017 there was 1 (one) QE show and that was in Hawaii. That's why Marc had arranged his own tribute band called Ultimate Queen Celebration and brought back two ex-QE members Tristan Avakian and Brandon Ethridge.

Just because you make money doesn't make it good.People still go to Kanye and he makes money like crazy. It doesn't mean he goes down into rock history. And his songs are very forgettable. Again money doesn't make it good or legendary. The songs Queen made with Freddie are timeless, so its just an easy score. just cheap to my opinion. Freddie always stood for giving the best performance, also compared to other bands. If I have to compare the vibe Marc martel gives to the crowd and how Lamberts crowd looks like on the dvd. I just have to conclude that lambert is not on the same level as Marc(voice wise for sure). Also its genetics that Marcs voice is similar to Freddies. nothing short of a miracle also. He has way more songs that are not ment to be an impression of Freddie, and he still has the same qualities as Freddies voice.

oh snap! lol

thedesertroseband As you've probably already noticed by their attendance, loads and loads of people (young and old) enjoy that shit. Marc and the band, however, are all about the sound of classic Queen, the approach that some people find incredibly boring, they should rather stick to Q+AL shows.

Do you know why Freddy became ultra Flamboyant(besides being that kind of person)....to cover for his vocal nodules...Marc doesn't have that problem(at least yet)...where was that bullshit about "serving the song"....behind the wallet?

I think exactly like you. I say many times that Queen + Lambert sound like a tribute band but tribute band (Queen Extravaganza + Martel) sound like real original Queen.

He'll be back in New Zealand in September 2019! Lucky lucky you!

So far no luck, hopefully next year.

Eso le digo hace rato, pero no me hace caso Marc! ja

Sin dudas!!!! Es el mejor, realmente no se que hacen Brian y Roger con Lambert, ese pibe puede ser bueno, pero le quita la esencia Queen al espectaculo. Rodgers era respetable, pero Adam Lambert no tiene nada que hacer ahi. Ese lugar es de Marc Martel .

@@walterlf totalmente Bro. Lambert hace un show ridículo como frontman. Rodgers era bueno pues daba una esencia muy bien equilibrada a queen. Si Martel estuviera con queen sería una joya.

@@walterlf No ponen a Martel porque sería casi como sustituir el hueco que dejó el gran Freddie aunque claro ningún cantante ni nadie podría llenar esa gran hueco que dejó Mercury por esa misma razón está Lambert pero a la mejor si llegan a hacer algún homenaje lo correcto sería llevar a alguien que intérprete de la mejor manera a una leyenda como lo es Freddie Mercury o al menos creo que esa es la razón por la cual no ponen a Martel en vez de Lambert

Mamabear3235 same

That may explain the vocal similarities.

Absolutely, it's fascinating. I thinks it's wonderful actually.

Wow fellow Malaysian haha baik bosskurr
