By Popular Demand: Marc Martel Channeling Freddie Mercury

Meet Marc Martel, a Canadian singer who is causing the Internet to declare today the new Easter since Freddie Mercury has obviously resurrected and is now living inside of Marc's body. Marc sang out "Somebody to Love" in his video audition for the chance to sing in Queen's 40th anniversary tour. I refuse to dramatically hurl myself onto that bandwagon until Marc brings more stache, bulge, overbite, bulge and bulge to his performance. And this also needs less microphone that I thought was a blow dryer. And more bulge.

Seriosly WallE is coming true already. Like when at the end it's time to fly back to Earth and all the captain knows how to do is press a button because the ship was programmed to do everything for him and now that it's time for him to do something, he's clueless. Ya, it's like that.

Oh man, that is depressing. Are people realizing that our society is using technology as a way to avoid actually having to know how to do things correctly? First there was spell check and now we're moving into voice recognition software to write for us. So people not only don't know how to spell, they aren't going to know how to write at all. And with GPS people have no idea where they are or how to go anywhere because all they know how to do is listen to a little box say, "turn right, turn left". Thus ends my old fogey rant of the day.

For some reason, I keep coming back to this post.. I guess it is because the whole fake vs. real thing has been getting to me lately. Honestly, I can't even tell anymore because the software is so good.

With Photoshop, an excellent and emotionally charged parallel, you can see the before and after effects very easily and formulate an opinion regarding the merit and ethics of the work. However, when employing Autotune or similar industry software, nobody knows the recording has been altered because the virgin recording is never released. Furthermore, there is no standard frame of reference that can be measured for a vocal like waist size in Photoshop.

Very few people even know that this technology exists. Personally, I think that this technology distorts the playing field and is unfair to people that have worked hard or are not as marketable(read: they don't have big tits or aren't that great looking).

If anybody still cares, here's a video that illustrates how well you can polish a turd with professional software.

His voice is amazing, and he's kinda hot in a...well, Canadian way.

But he'll never get picked. He fronts a big ole fundie Christian band, and I doubt Queen will want to pick a guy who isn't fond of the gays to fill Freddie's shoes.

Not bad, not bad....but of course I will always miss Freddie. The man was freaking gorgeous. And he even made big ass teeth look sexy. Today they probably would've made him get veneers.

z80's picture

I's not a hairdryer, it's a SHURE SM7 microphone. It's most famous use was by Michael Jackson on most of his Thriller album. Me thinks that he really doctored the audio for a few reasons:

1.) You can hear the huge amount of compression (Industry speak for making everything the same loudness) and special effects while he is talking;

2.) There isn't a correlation between his movement of the microphone and what is called the proximity effect (his voice should get louder and lower when the mic is closer)- this also makes me think that he altered the dynamics in post production to enhance the expressiveness of his performance;

3.) There isn't one plosive or pop in his entire song. Normally, when you say the letter P into a microphone it makes an extremely loud POP - that's why when you see singers singing into a studio microphone there is a little circular screen to remove the blast of air from their speech or singing from getting into the microphone.

His heavy post production work creates the inference that he also auto tuned the fuck out of his video; his pitch was spot on except for one small part that he probably left in there on purpose so folks would think he was natural.

My guess is that he's probably good but couldn't duplicate his video performance in a live setting. Sorry to ruin your day:)

I am guessing he used apple garageband to record it, but what I am wondering is where he got the soundtrack without freddie in it.

You can download the tracks on the contest website. Choose your audition - vocals, lead, bass, etc., and download the track with that part stripped out. Very cool.

Fuck, if Queen ever needed a replacement for His Majesty, Marc would be it.

Catnippe's picture

I thought he was amazing! Ok, I agree on the stage presence thing, but he might just be holding back because he's in a room the size of a walk-in closet. I say give the man a shot on the big stage in some tighty-whities and suspenders and let him show us what he's got. Yow.

Freddie's overbite was dreamy...

That was damn good! I think he could bring the personality if he was up on stage witht lights, camera, action.

Goddamnit, I really wanted to be a total cunt to this guy, but I gotta say- he's pretty fucking good. Yes, no personality and a little slavish, but those are small potatoes to the voice.

Wow... that gave me chills.
