Now that Marc has his own tribute band, he does the WHOLE song every time with no video interlude.

I remember Bohemian Rhapsody when it first came out (1975) and was announced as number 1 - I was 9 years old, my brother and I just lying on the floor in our living room, light out, the coal fire being the only illumination in the room - what an experience. It was like an opera we were listening too. Never ever forget that.
This guy was amazing (and so were the band). Thanks for this.

Marc Martel started out in the Christian band Downhere. They were great. Some of their best songs are "Calmer of the Storm, " "The More, " "A Better Way, " "How Many Kings, " and my personal favorite "Let Me Rediscover You." You should check them out sometime.

I worked at a summer camp that Downhere led worship at a couple months before Marc won the Queen contest. Got to hang out with the whole band all week doing things like playing paintball and ziplining with them. Marc and all the guys are great people. From what I was told, Marc didn't even want to do the Queen contest at first but everyone else talked him into it because he sounded so much like Freddie. Saw them a couple years later and they were still mad that we destroyed them playing paintball. The rec staff showed no mercy to anyone. Lol

As my fellow countryman, Max Boyce, would say “I was there”
It was a fantastic show!
There’s a Freddie birthday party every September at the Casino in Montreux Switzerland

[RedRoseSeptember]

Marc Martel is the one who did the singing it the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie :) everyone says he's Freddie reincarnated lol, it's easy to see why, he literally sounds like him. ♥

[GrandmasGonnaFlip]

So happy everytime I see a new video pop. Love you and Ali and your reactions.

That isn't from American Idol. That's from Freddie's 70th "birthday party, " in Montreux. Marc is fronting "Queen Extravaganza" (QuEx), the official Queen tribute band, put together by Roger Taylor. Just like Queen did in concert, they left the stage and left a video/backing track play during the operatic portion.

Currently, Marc has his own band, "One Vision of Queen, " and is selling out shows around the world. Unlike QuEx, Marc and his band play the ENTIRE song all the way through, every night.

As close to Freddie as you can get. Am sure Freddie would be proud. I was fckin impressed. I shut my eyes and got chills. Upset that he's not here. 😢 Great vid. ❤

[carolinagallegos]

You and your beautiful wife should react to the audience at a green day concert singing this song before the concert ever happens!! Watch how the clouds part and the sun shining across the center of the audience at the end, Freddie gave praise to the audience that day!!

[rebeccalipps]

Marc Martel is an amazing singer, but can imitate Freddie perfectly (among others). He has a video called The Mercurotti where he sings as both Freddie & Luciano Pavarotti in the classic opera "Nessun Dorma". I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys either artist.

[WaldschratEule]

Marcs actual tour is "One Vision of Queen" and comes in October to Munich, Germany.

[GodertdeVosvanSteenwijk]

I saw this band in 2011 and I could not belieab]ve his voiuce

[lxreedyxl]

He even kind of looks like Freddie in a way.

[marka]

Marc Martel is just pure class check him out solo playing piano and sing this

[MegaSlowburner]

Thank you so much Sebs Duran for your comments our stars today.... I am 70 and I lived and enjoyed those times. Today it is hit or miss but back in the day we had a plethora of artists who could sang the shit out of songs. History does indeed repeat itself. Time to bring it back home. Personally I respect what you say. You are a young gun and I put my gun away. Keep doing what you do.

[dmaynardabu]

Marc is absolutely amazing!!!! I so wish he was fronting Queen. I’m just not a fan of Adam. I discovered Marc in 2011 when he was on the Ellen show. He sang my favorite Queen song, Somebody To Love. It was spectacular! It gave me chills! Just like Freddie’s live version has always given me chills. I am sure every time Marc sings Queen songs, Freddie is smiling down on him.

[martinschell]

Let's be totally transparent. AL got the gig because of American Idol, and he's had a long run because of the quality of the source material. There's no denying that he's luckier than Ringo.

[cathyneve]

You should watch marc mattels version of Mercurotti. He sings the two voices of Freddie and Pavarotti

[RokNDragon]

Wonderful how some of the comments are crapping on Roger Taylor's choices for a Tribute Band to Queen...

As a recent subscriber, I've really been enjoying your/y'all's reactions, so far, and I look forward to more as well! This was an amazing cover from someone that I can't believe that I had never heard of before! It was fantastic! Other than Adam Lambert, of course, the only other person/band that I had ever thought came anywhere near the original had been Panic! At The Disco's live cover, until I saw this video! If you haven't heard Brendon Urie's version then I would love to see your reaction to his performance and see what your thoughts are on how it compares! Can't wait to see what you react to next!
