I believe in my heart that he was a believer. That he made it there in the end to believe the truth at least that is my prayer . None of us are innocent, all of us are in need of a savior. His name is Jesus Christ period to God be the glory forever and ever amen❤
As much as I respect Adam Lambert, I hope I live to see the day this guy performs a full set with Queen. He truly is the closest thing we have to Freddie.
He was. Now he fronts the Ultimate Queen Celebration, produced by Paul Horton and Quinn Lemley of CAMA Productions. I've seen them 5 times, worth every penny, every time. Fantastic!
@@Deauxtje, I don't believe so. I'm pretty sure he's still on good terms with Brian and Roger. He has a lot going on, he's been very busy. He's constantly talking about his travels and shows he's doing.
This song was written by lead guitarist Brian May for the soundtrack to the film "Highlander" (1986). He wrote the song after seeing a 20-minute first cut of the scene of Heather MacLeod's death. The orchestrations were done by the co-composer of the film's score, Michael Kamen. Freddie Mercury provides all the main vocals on the film version of this track, while Brian May sings lead vocals on the first verse with Mercury on the rest of the song on the album version. An instrumental version of the song, titled "Forever", was included as a bonus track on the CD version of the album. It features only a piano, with keyboard accompaniment during the chorus sections. That piano track was recorded solely by Brian May. The music video was filmed in a warehouse at Tobacco Wharf at London's East End in September 1986. The song was was later used in some of the episodes of the "Highlander" television series.
Brian and Roger are both legends that we all respect and listen, but this time they should listen to us. Invite officially Marc Martel and make it happen. People want this so badly!
Bro you wrote totally incorrect. After I've found what this guy can do, all I'm trying is NOT to listen to him coz' I do it almost every day. And I simply can't. He's just unbelievably insane. And for me this i the closest voice to Freddie. I'm getting orgasms all the times I listen to him.
You know that Marc Martel's voice is one of the three that were used in the movie? (One was Freddie's original footage, the other one was from Rami Malek and most of the movie used Martel's). He is not a Freddie impressionist.. but he sounds very much like Mercury's musical register...
@@lucianobrancaccio1094 oh i see. Thanks for the info. He's just so versatile. When i heard the mercurroti, damn, my jaw dropped down to my foot. Felt also goosebumps all over my body. Yeah you heard me, all over my body.
I can't get over Marc's range, it's like ok there's people out there who can sing a song or two and pass as a decent Freddie Mercury impression, but Marc can sing it all!
@@MickayG if you listen to Freddie in concerts, he seldom sings falsettos, hits high notes or even attempts, say what he does in Under Pressure. Even at Wembley he doesn't hit or attempt high notes. Martel's voice and range is stronger than Freddie's, but I believe it is because Freddie often "overdid it." Not enough sleep, too much partying, and straining his voice to the point of damage.
Voice cracks and squeals do not count as "range" to me. And so everything beyond B5 for Freddie is just squealing, ruclips.net/video/kgLmYaRPrGE/видео.html
Let's be honest here, guys: Not even Freddie could sound exactly like the record when he performed this song, but Marc can. Freddie had the charisma, he was the ultimate front-man, but Marc Martel has the live vocal abilities that even Freddie couldn't keep up with. Both are great in each way, but we will never see another Freddie Mercury again, so let's appreciate the fact that we still have Marc Martel to keep his memory and music alive.
@@elliana2825 You make it sound like it is inferior. Adam is also a tribute singer, even though he sings with Brian and Roger, it makes no difference, because he is not the official singer! That's Freddie! LOL
I’m just trying to imagine Simon cowells face if Marc had never sung live before and come in for an audition on Britain 🇬🇧 Got Talent, his face would be speechless, Marc is Amazing
Znalazlam go dopiero i nie moge sie oderwac, znalazlam koncert ze wszystkimi prawie piosenkami Queen i Frediego, no to jest niesamowite, Freddy zmartwychwstał
Me and my wife loved the movie Highlander and Queen's soundtrack of it. Owned the cassette back in the day. We wanted to live forever just so we could always be together. Now I listen this alone with tears pouring. She passed away 2 months ago on Jan 3 2019. My soulmate is now an angel. One days we'll be together forever. Until then I will be alive but not live.
Muy buen concierto!!! Su éxito lo tuvo porque cantó con el grupo Britania que en México, la gente los quiere mucho y por los arreglos sinfónicos del Arreglista Marco Antonio Díaz, oriundo de Xalapa, Veracruz
I disagree about this imitation singer. Adam Lambert the current front singer of Queen for years now that sings in his "own" style sings this song the best. Brian and Roger said it themselves, that no one can sing this song as good as Adam. The interview is on you tube, look for it.
@@usfanlovesjiwoo1978 Adam is a different Queen and classic fans don't want to listen to him not cause he's bad but because Adam just doesn't have a classic feel. If you want a different queen sound you listen to Adam but if you want the closest thing to a classic experience you listen to Marc Martel. Personally to me Marc is just a better singer all round but that doesn't mean Adam can't sing, he just ain't my style.
This man has the pipes. It would be nice if he did something with QUEEN but as much as a fan of QUEEN that I am,they are at the end and don't need recognition. He's got a long career ahead of him.
You do this better than anyone I have heard. I do like the way the The Tenors do it too! Canada has the best entertainers! Maybe I should move to Canada!!!!!!!
He doesn't perform all over Canada, unfortunately. Mainly in the province of Quebec. He performs more in the US, and has toured many, many countries. Right now he's on a six-concert tour in South America.
The best WWTLF cover ever vocally. No one comes close IMO, not just because Marc sounds like the legend himself, but also because he managed to capture the passion and raw emotion this song needs, unlike many technically great but too clean covers I have heard. Amazing!
Definitivamente RUclips a veces hace sugerencias acertadas. En este caso es la mejor que he me ha dado. La calidad vocal de Marc Matel es algo increíble, fuera de este mundo.
Me. Just discovered him 3 days ago while on RUclips his video played. Don’t really know how that happened because I was watching line dances💥💥today is Fri 12 Feb 2021
This just my opinion and not a criticism. Adam and Marc are great singers. The difference and true hard core Queen fans would agree I believe. Adam is one-dimensional whereas Marc and Freddie share things in common. Both natural born singers, both write their own lyrics, Marc with his former band Downhere, and they play multiple instruments. So Adam is a great singer and frontman but Marc and Freddie were true artists. Marc feels the songs he sings. What greater way to pay homage to Freddie. Very good job darling.....
I wish I filmed my reaction to this video because from the moment he opened his mouth, my jaw dropped and I'm just in awe like I keep saying "what? Oh my! Woah!" I know he can sing Freddie but this is so freaking Freddie. He's not even trying. Man, oh my live forever
Glad you found him. Listen to his Queen stuff. Live concerts from Miami to New Zealand, original albums like Impersonator and Prelude and older material from Downhere. All of it is great. Congratulations, you have discovered the best kept secret on the internet. If you haven't already, go listen to his one take Bohemian Rhapsody.
i am grateful marc martel exist. at least a hinch of freddie still walks this planet....... this track is a masterpiece and only the „ONE“ can perform it...... marc is awesome. i am gonna see him in a week in zurich at the samsung hall..... live long and prosper. we miss freddie so much, but you make our grief a little bit better..............
I want to see an interview with Roger, Brian, and Marc....all together in the same room; talking about Marc's vocals, the band's sound, and recording some music together. SERIOUSLY! I want it all, and i want it now! (lol)....but really!
It falls short on them talking about music and recording... since that will likely not happen... but here's an interview: ruclips.net/video/Cs7uXH6cz3U/видео.html
Man that voice is gifted!! God is still good! The world may have lost Freddie Mercury but God gave us anothet chance to that unique and wonderful voice from Marc Martel.
Una voz hermosa, armoniosa, súper entonado. Su voz llega al corazón. Nunca pierdas esa humildad que te caracteriza Marc. Karina Amietta desde Argentina 🌹
Jaw drop. I’ve never heard anyone who held a candle to Freddie like he does
The ONLY singer on planet earth alive today who does FULL JUSTICE to the music of Queen. Amazing talented Marc!
I totally agree with you
Haha haven't had a good laugh today. Thank you
Concordo plenamente. Um abraço de Guimarães, Portugal
lmao
Only Marc Mantel can sing like Freddie great talent 👍❤️
Bravo. Very. Beautiful. Continuing. Forever
This is perfection. All the notes were hit. Freddie has to be smiling down on Marc.
I totally agree with you!
or up
I believe in my heart that he was a believer. That he made it there in the end to believe the truth at least that is my prayer . None of us are innocent, all of us are in need of a savior. His name is Jesus Christ period to God be the glory forever and ever amen❤
This guy is incredible! He sounds just like Freddie!
This guy is amazing; sounds so much like Freddie...he does him justice!
Muero de amor ,que maravilla ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He Is a mix within Freddy AND Keith Green, i can hear both of them
As much as I respect Adam Lambert, I hope I live to see the day this guy performs a full set with Queen. He truly is the closest thing we have to Freddie.
yes. lambert is far below marc
Adam never ever said he was trying to be Freddie he is himself. He must do ok with Brian and Roger still preforming with him.
I don't think I've ever heard him sound more like Freddie, it's like he's just there
You can tell the musicians in this Orchestra are really feeling it
My favorite Queen song. Freddie is definitely smiling. Brian May needs to hire him.
He already did. Marc is the singer of the Queen's Official Tribute Band, which is produced by May and Taylor.
He was. Now he fronts the Ultimate Queen Celebration, produced by Paul Horton and Quinn Lemley of CAMA Productions. I've seen them 5 times, worth every penny, every time. Fantastic!
@@rachellpedrin9241 Why did he leave? His touring schedule is different than the QUEX schedule. Did they sack him???
@@Deauxtje, I don't believe so. I'm pretty sure he's still on good terms with Brian and Roger. He has a lot going on, he's been very busy. He's constantly talking about his travels and shows he's doing.
@@Deauxtje, constantly may be a poor choice of word.
There are 2 types of people - those who love Marc Martel and those that didn't hear of him.
And rabid Adam Lambert fans.
David Iancu I didn’t know of him until last night (March 22, 2019! Reincarnate. He should be with queen not Adam Lambert.
lol, nice one@@skynet3d

He delivered ... !!!
He's keeping the spirit of Freddie alive and Queen need to hire him
Потрясающе!!!
Here crying...amazing.
Surely this is the only guy who should perform with queen
Great!you are brilliant marc

So uncanny. I don’t know if I like it or not. He does a tremendous job, but am I dissing Freddie?
this gave me chills to listen too
What a great tribute to Freddie. Thanks Marc for keeping his voice alive!
UNBELIEVABLE.
BELIEVE ruclips.net/video/ZlQQLp39Zak/видео.html
I can't believe how much he sounds like Freddie mercury amasing🎼🎹🥁🔊🎶🎵🤗😷
Brian and Roger are both legends that we all respect and listen, but this time they should listen to us.
Invite officially Marc Martel and make it happen. People want this so badly!
Observation: his voice is during FMs time when he was younger, when he have no mustache.
He could literally pass off as Freddie Clone or his Son, He looks like Freddy , I am blown away
Goosebumps everytime I listen to this. Marc Martel you are truly incredible. Freddie lives on ❤
Marc literally has me in tears from this performance, he is the legacy of Freddy which was cut short by AIDS. He is Freddy’s voice living on
Absolutely blown away by this performance... like Freddie’s voice reborn!! How have Queen not made Marc their new frontman 🤔
thats the big question. they chose underperform lambert
Czy Brian May wogole go zna?
He's just soooo dam good. I was lucky enough to be front row at queen concert with him in New Bedford Mass.
Fortunately there are copies to remember us the greatness of the original❤. Freddy, you will live forever!
I believe Marc has said this one is most difficult to sing for him... Well he nailed it in this performance, amazing.
Emocionante. Toca nossa alma.
Who's here trying to listen to Marc Martel after watching Bohemian Rhapsody? This guy is so underrated.

Been a HUGE fan of Marc's for ages, and I so agree with you!! 100% !!
If you shut your eyes and listen, he sounds just like Freddy it’s actually crazy... the show really must go on
I can't get over Marc's range, it's like ok there's people out there who can sing a song or two and pass as a decent Freddie Mercury impression, but Marc can sing it all!

Marc Martel Fans
Until the day Marc hits D6 (but preferably F6) his range will remain inferior to Freddie.
Voice cracks and squeals do not count as "range" to me. And so everything beyond B5 for Freddie is just squealing, ruclips.net/video/kgLmYaRPrGE/видео.html
It's one of the hardest song and Marc performed excellent 👌
So lovely. Filled me with emotion.
getting goosebumps whenever he says "forever"
Freddie will always live forever as long as singers like marc are around
Stunning...
the voice is identical
I stopped looking at the video for a while and forgot this was a cover
Hard to believe he only had 14 hours between concerts to rest his voice and all it did was make him sound more like Freddie.
Its not just that simple , I closed my eyes and I heard Freddy giving his best.
Took my breath away
Exactly! Same...
It is the impossible hapenning
Yeah man it's great and I love Marc but at 2:50 you can clearly tell it's not Freddoe
I'm in tears! He brought Freddy Mercury back!🤗🤗🤗
This guy should be in the charts
Marc is absolutely superb. Spot on and that range!!!!! Holy shit.
I've never heard a voice closer to Freddie's ... BEYOND BELIEF
