Wow! Pretty impressive!

He lacks Freddie's energy and showmanship but the voice is definitely there. He just needs to put a bit more "oomph" in his performance.


He even resembles him.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Pretty uncanny, but yeah a bit soft.

I'll bet he grew that moustache especially for the occasion.

It appears that Roger Taylor is recruiting members for the official Queen tribute band and this guy is one of the contestants.

His name is Marc Martel. Looks like he's already in a band http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downhere

Here's another video of him singing the Bohemian Rhapsody.

He's even got that overbite.

He won a show called Stars In Their Eyes years ago in the UK.

Sorry, but Marc's got the voice down perfectly.

That guy may be a good imitator but he's a terrible singer. He doesn't even sound anything like Freddie. He's just yelling shit out.

I prefer Marc.

 

[unozero]

I miss Freddie so much....

i thought this was gonna be a thread about Mika

He doesn't have it down perfectly. All his vowels sound very American (or Canadian) to me. I agree Mullen yells, but that's the strongest part of his voice. His vulnerable parts aren't so good so he just shouts.

Queen sucks.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Queen sucks.

WHOA BUDDY
Whoa.

 

[Yuri]

yeah let's all just simmer down here and take a moment to think about the things we say

Oh come on! They have some good songs (Big Bottomed Girls comes to mind), but in general it's just overrated bombastic nonsense posing as clever and original. The fact that most people who know jack shit about music consider Queen to be their favourite rock band should tell you something.

A criticism so bland and generic that it's applicable to every band in the history of bandness.

I'd rather know jack shit about music than be a pretentious asswipe.

I'm a musician. I listen to a very wide range of music, rock, rap/hip hop, classical, Electro/House plenty of stuff both obscure and mainstream.

Queen were and are awesome. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest front men there was. People who know ANYTHING about proper music praise Queen. Jack shit, my ass.
