Marc Martel - Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen cover)

In celebration of all the things Queen - the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic premiering, my covers album “Thunderbolt & Lightning”, and just a darn good tune existing, I give you my one-take performance of, yep, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” (Friends, I worked really hard at learning the middle part.)

Everyone talking about his voice but don't ignore his piano skills, this man is brilliant.

[Iggypres]

His voice is closest to FM from everyone on this planet! Period.

[gonNEEDAwheelchair]

Did hard homework and it obviously worked out. I’m absolutely convinced this is Freddie making his way back to us.

[wave]

This is no autotune

It’s a gift from Freddie

[mrmuh]

This guy sounds just like Freddie, yet he sounds so original. He doesn't sound like copying, laboring at it, or even trying hard. Vocal versatility at its best.

5:11 This "Nothing really matters" Creeped me out.
It was very identical!

[johnmcgahern]

Wow! Been a Queen fan for 50 years. Never did I think it was possible for anyone to perform this in it's entirety; Queen didn't even do that. This guy has exponentially more talent than 99% of major artists today. And to top it all, he seems like such a humble person. Keep 'em coming Marc, love it!

When someone rocks Bohemian Rhapsody with just vocals and a piano, you know they're a legend in the making.

[TotallyNotMark]

I think it's worth pointing out how ballsy it was to take on a song like this which typically has a huge instrumental accompaniment with just a piano and his voice. Truly fantastic.

[soltero.]

5:11 that was one of the closest things to Freddie i ve ever heard

[uekawas]

Not only his vocals but his piano play is just awesome.
I was really moved.
No other person can play this masterpiece all alone while playing the piano!
It's a miracle.

[kevinhavers]

I love the fact that he is so close to Freddie, but not exactly the same. Marc really does this song credit. I could listen to this over and over.

[swimmercat]

RIP Freddie Mercury. 29 years later and the world still loves you!

[alienmonster]

The best cover that Is going to exist because cover a Freddie song with a voice that sounds closest to him it's almost impossible.

[williammueller]

This is simply incredible. There was no way to cover this song and do it justice until this dude did it. Piano. Vocals. Perfection.

[lisatipping]

'Do whatever you want with my music. Just don't make it boring'

[michaelsimms]

If bohemian rhapsody (the film) gets nominated for an Oscar, I hope Marc Martel gets invited to perform the song with Queen at the award ceremony. That would be really cool :)

[ohmyjoash]

His demeanor when he sings and his facial expressions is so Freddie Mercury its insane.

[LouMires]

As a vocalist, this left me in tears. Hats off to Marc Martel. Beautifully captured and revived.

[bnet]

No ones going to talk about the fact he's playing really good the piano? What a concentration
