Wow–didn't think anyone other than Freddie could sing like that…

Via Cold Fury.  Marc Martel of the Christian band (yes there is a ton of irony here), singing Bohemian Rhapsody and part of Somebody to Love.  The second one is part of his audition for the official Queen cover band.  I echo Cold Fury’s sentiment that if Brian May doesn’t pick this guy, he’s missing the boat.

He might not have the stage presence of Freddie, but that can be learned.  I can see him in the white jumpsuit or the wife beater shirt easily.   If he plays the piano, he’s golden.

And the real thing, just because….

    Marc Martel is good, maybe even better than Freddie.

    Q–I'll give you points for Grace, but I don't think that Marc would be a good substitute for her… 😉 Have to admit that when she did the theme from Mannequin, she lost me, but back in the day Jefferson Airplane was the way to go.Frank and NFO–I was impressed too.He's got the voice, it'll be interesting to see if he can strut the Freddie strut.

    The voice, oh yes. I saw Queen in concert in Seattle when I was in college. The stage presence would be really hard to capture, but the voice, yes, the voice is a winner.
