Marc Matel in Bo Rap Trailer?

A youtuber has done a break down of the Bo Rap trailer wth a little claim that its not Freddie's voice during the Live Aid soundbite. States that its Marc...

Anybody agree???

Why use Marc when you got Freddies?

Also what is mike Myers role in the film , is he a narrator by any chance

Mike Myers is the guy who says "It's 6 bloody minutes"

I agree - I don't think it's Freddie. My guess is Martel as well....perhaps even a mixture of him and Freddie.

One can clearly hear it's not Freddie. My money's on Martel as well.

clearly? its not that clear

It's absolutely obvious it's not freddie's voice in the trailer. It's not rocket science. It does not sound like him. Done.

Isn't it Garry Mullen?

If you’ve got any musical experience and know the subtleties of Freddie’s voice then you can tell it’s Marc Martel. They reallly have found a golden gooose with him - no one will ever sound like Freddie but he’s pretty close.

Amazing that you can name any other singer in popular music history (Elvis, Jagger, Bowie, Jackson etc) and there are loads of people that can mimic them pretty well - there will never be anyone that can sound like Freddie - MM is about the only one.

Not Marc imo. Listen carrefully to the last long note. Marc cannot simulate the nodules like chat ??

Like THAT (f**ing phone)

It does sound like Freddie a lot but it's not identical. Could be a mix of Martell and Freddie.
I am not surprised one bit. If you think about it, they would most likely need multi-tracks for any audio going into the movie. This is not an issue for Studio recordings and even outtakes but I bet there's only a handful of live shows recorded in this capacity, if any. I bet this is why Brian has been in the studio ("Playing BoRhap badly...") and it could very well also be why he had Tim Staffel joining him. Nice gesture. He definitely didn't have to do that.

Oh, 100 percent on the first listen i knew it wasn't Freddie. There's no doubt about it in my mind and shouldn't really be for the majority of you. I'm also quite sure it's Marc's...sounds like him a lot, and he's fully aware of how Freddie sounded in the mid-eighties.

I think somebody pointed out that they used Marc's rather than the original because the sound recording of Live Aid wouldn't be up to scratch...plus, although his voice is used in the trailer...maybe they don't want to use any of Freddie's actual recordings in the film... as it may take people out of the moment (KNOWING Rami is miming to a vocal we've heard a thousand times before etc.)

And i can't believe nobody has mentioned this so far, but I'd like to suggest Mike Myers is playing Norman Sheffield. Due to the beard, the look and perhaps Freddie's flippancy towards him. Although Mike does a northern accent...perhaps he couldn't replicate Norman's London voice too well.
