6 Brilliant Celebrity Impersonators You Won't Believe

2. Marc Martel As Freddie Mercury

This is a unique entry as Marc Martel is a singer in a band in his own right and celebrity impersonation was always a back seat for him. But when he kicks into gear as Freddie Mercury it's like the iconic toothy singer is reborn and the result is astonishing. It began when Martel submitted the following video in a sound-alike competition. Watching it, it becomes blatantly obvious that not only does Martel kill the audition but his facial similarities and especially his sound range is quintessentially Freddie. In the video he's performing in his attic using ordinary consumer equipment and a karaoke track to work with and yet he still rocks the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREKkAk628I What followed was a whirlwind tour for Martel, appearing on US daytime shows like Ellen where he finally got to rock out in front of an audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb2kW7t3Bzk Martel's ultimate dream came true when he was seen by the remaining members of Queen and joined the band on tour.
