QUEEN EXTRAVAGANZA HITS THE MARC FOR NEW TOUR LEG

http://youtu.be/QhOUUJCFK6w

Queen Extravaganza has listened to the public and now Freddie Mercury sound-alike Marc Martel is front and center, and he talks about what fans can expect on this tour leg, here!

No doubt they hit a home run with Marc. His charisma and personality on stage definitely help win the fans over. That, and the fact that he's able to not only sound eerily like Freddie but he incorporates the subtleties and nuances as well. It also doesn't hurt that Marc looks a little like him as well. I still think they're wasting his talent having him front the trib band. Then again, this might just be part of the grooming process in ultimately bringing him front and center with the actual band - letting the fans get to know who he is and hear him in the amateur setting of the trib band and then promoting him.
Interesting they reorganized the configuration of the band including letting Soto go. That really puts Marc at his limit of vocal strain. It would be a shame to see him get over used and have his voice blow out.

Soto left by the way. TSO and W.E.T. = his usual busy self. Never understood his presence with them to be a permanent thing.

Marc won me over. Fantastic talent. Still I would be appalled to see him officially fronting Queen. I've had enough with clones. Some bands need to die already.

Agreed.. but if Queen were to do a "Final Farewell Tour"... Marc is the ONLY choice.

If they choose to use one singer. I'd prefer a final show like the Freddie Wembley tribute with multiple vocalists. I would love to see Marc involved of course.
