Me too..

I would never presume to know or speak for any of them...but I think they'll be okay.  Prayerfully the light will be shown towards the bigger picture of their prophetic callings.  Yahweh works in ever mysterious ways!

The press coverage is great. It will bring thousands to purchase the DH cds, IMO. I think this may help DH get the media coverage they are due, especially in the Christian markets. If those who buy Christian music have not heard of DH yet [and believe me there are many unfortunately] now they will have heard of them. And the rest of the world can discover how great this band is with a great biblical message.

I wish someone had known about this ahead of time, so we could keep track of how many more views Downhere's videos had then and now! I'll bet there have been quite a few since this video came out.

I WILL say that I wish others would quit with the Freddie Mercury-worshiping! So many of the comments on there and other places are about how it's Mercury reincarnated! or Freddie Mercury was god, and you can't replace god, but if you could you'd replace him with Marc. Or the other people unhappy that the band is 'replacing Freddie Mercury' and how you just can't DO that!
Nope, you can't replace him. NO, Marc is not Mercury, reincarnated! And a Most Definite NO, Freddie Mercury was not God. Oyvey.  If any of you catch me idolizing someone that much, please shoot me.

Anywho, I can see good and bad side-effects on Downhere from this, we should be praying for them right now with all these happenings.

kiwifruit has got it spot on: pray for the guys right now, especially Marc. this has gone from nothing to something hugely fast and they will need our prayers! I absolutely trust them to be doing whatever they do for God's glory, as they have for the last decade, but they really need our support more than ever.

Hi, just joined to share my amazement of hearing Marc as well as Downhere's music.  I did a video comparison for Marc's audition with Queen's Somebody To Love laid over it.  It's amazing how close he is to Freddie, just amazing.  I'm pretty sure he's a shoe-in for the contest, so here's to Marc for bringing everyone such an amazing feeling with his renditions.

Welcome! Glad you found us here! I hope you'll come back!

[Jinz]

awesome! welcome to the boards!

[Scott]

Def be praying for them. I def see this as a potentially awesome opportunity for a lot of people to be reached with the gospel message with Marc as a witness to it that normally would not be reached in this kind of venue. In this time no doubt they all need our prayers! Marc does sound a little overwhelmed with all the attention, but God knows what He is doing!

And the people claiming he's lipsyncing as well as finding other videos on Youtube! I've never seen a video of someone I know of go viral though! That's pretty cool! I agree with you with them saying that stuff. It's almost disturbing seeing that people would think that way. Just look at the second highest rated comment (unless that was replaced). I also saw a recent comment suggesting sexual relations with him  Recently, I had to go on an internet fast because I started idolizing the internet, as well as a downhere and Jason Gray social network fast too. Why? Because it became too scary what I was doing. I realized that they weren't God and that God is God.
