edjr 5,554 Posted June 3, 2019 Went to see these guys Saturday night. I typically rail on sporting events and concerts, but this was 45 bucks WOW. March Martel is a Freddie Freak 28:00 minute mark for Rhapsody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Observer 641 Posted June 3, 2019 That guy is amazing. I first saw him doing a cover of Somebody To Love years ago on YouTube. Adam Lambert might be the bigger showman, but Martel sings Mercury to a T, where Lambert does not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they feel it is disrespectful to Mercury to bring in someone who can impersonate him so perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
