Whos voice do you like the most?
-
I like Paul's the best.
-
I'd go with Mccartneys, just personal taste.
But Lennon has a hell of a voice!
-
I can't vote on this...I like singing the Macca lines in the Apple Beatles band but Lennon has got some belters aswell that I get quite envious about not singing.....Overall maybe Macca....it tends to sway.
-
You are a tribute Paul! :)
Lets get em votes, before the wave of Lennoners* get here
-
Lennoners... that's pretty good. I guess we would be the Maccaphiles?
-
lennon def
-
Ok, who voted for Ringo?
-
LOL! Someone voted for him? He has a friendly voice but... ain't the best =P.
And look! He's ahead of George!
I picked Paul.
-
I love Paul's voice, but I voted for John. Paul's got a bigger spread of styles...but there's something about John's voice...!
^^;; Sorry. I can only take Ringo in small doses.
-
Paul gets my vote
I bet Tim voted for Ringo 8)
-
John gets my vote as i sing all the john songs in the Apple Beatle Band....:)
-
paul by a long way
-
I voted for ringo! I know he wasn't a very good singer but I have always liked his voice. Tell me you don't like boys, or act naturally, or matchbox, or octopus's garden, or yellow sub.
I can't believe George has only 1 vote he had a good voice too. As a matter of fact the 4 of them could sing pretty good and that's one of the things that made them the greatest band ever.
-
All of their voices are great... Maybe not Ringo's as much, but John and Paul really wisely picked his songs (except the ones he wrote, of course ;))...
George has a really... it's hard to explain... his voice has just got this wonderful vibe to it... really... i'd say sexy if I were gay, but I don't know how to explain it in my point of view... It's just great...
John's got the rocker voice... The only trouble is is that he only has that voice... It doesn't seem to fit in other songs... Like, I don't like Julia as much as I would I Will... (it's still a great song though!)
That's why I chose Paul... His voice is just perfect to me... It's soft and smooth most of the time, and it fits almost any type of music... And he can also belt out the words until your throat is sore, just listening to him! That's why I like his vocie... He's got a great voice!
-
with a liitle help from my friends... i must say that i like lstening to Ringo sing that song .. :)
-
Gotta be 'I wanna Be Your Man' for me at the mo.
-
good shout Apps .. its not his best, but still a good call :)
-
PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
paul has a great voice, but i have to give it to john. he was a rocker.
-
But, Paul's still ahead in the poll. ;D
-
Is he? I could'nt vote.....Just couldnay do it. lol
-
that vote button doesnt bite ya know Apps lol hehe :P
-
Mccartney top..thats what I like to see 8)
-
Mccartney top..thats what I like to see 8)
Nooooooo lol .. its a FIX hehe .. Lennon should top this Poll :P
-
I agree Lenny, lennon should be winning. Where are all the lennon fans?
-
Nah....Just Let It BE!!!! lol
-
Both John and Paul have good voices. They're both really good in their own ways. I voted for John.
-
Impossible to choose between John and Paul. Both their voices 'fit' with each song they sang. Both had/have great range. Take the "White Album" for example, Paul can go from 'I Will' to 'Helter Skelter', John is the same, from the tenderness of 'Julia' to raging blues 'Yer Blues'. Impossible for me to choose.
-
Johny boy! ;-D
-
Macca
-
I voted both John and Paul. For pure aesthics, I vote Paul. He has a very pure and angelic voice that can be very soulful if it wants to be (just listen to Let it Be). John, on the other hand, has a voice that fills your ears, pokes at your brain, runs down your spine and hits you in the heart.
Together, the voices had the perfect blend, the devil and the angel on your shoulders, making you confused on where you stand and totally take over your whole being.
-
I can't vote on this...I like singing the Macca lines in the Apple Beatles band but Lennon has got some belters aswell that I get quite envious about not singing.....Overall maybe Macca....it tends to sway.
You're in the band "Apple?!"
-
i voted george.
paul i think has the nicest sounding voice, & john has a very soulful voice. i also think paul probably had the most skill at using his voice. but in the end, i gotta give to to george because i love the sound of his the best
-
You're in the band "Apple?!"
Yes, created a band called The Apple Beatles....For the love of it! ;)
-
^ tribute band entirely i take it?
-
^Yeah...Amongst the other bands I do. Lenny Pane(Also on this forum) n I started doing a Lennon/McCartney thing in the pubs and it grew from there. I can't say how much of a rush it is when we perform them in public. No false wigs, Big projection screen, we all pick our fave era of Beatle to represent and then just vibe off. Theres a bit of soul to our thing. We dwell more on the later stuff, although we do a load of earlier material aswell. ;)
-
JOHN ALL THE WAY!! :D his voice rocks! \m/

REVIEW
George - George's vocals were solid and better than most punk singers today. He could pull of some great ones, but never exploited his ability.
Ringo - I don't know, but he did an awesome vocal solo in A Day In The Life! ... Joking. Ringo's vocals were deep, but funny.
Paul - Paul had a very open voice. When the Beatles harmonize, Paul's voice is the one you hear. He could also sing ballads or heavy metal. Paul rocks.
John - John was the best. He could pull of amazing vocals (Bad Boy, and I do believe he sings the vocal solo in A Day In The Life, even if The End doesn't agree). John rocks!

John and Paul's voices are the best.
They're really similar. John has a great low voice and can reach high pitches with big harmony... Paul's can steer to various sides - he can have a low voice as greatly as he can have a high voice.
The pitches in both voices are similar and that's why I find it a bit hard to choose.
There's a bit of a nasal condition in John's voice and this adapts perfectly to some songs, but Paul has a great way of combining his voice to the melody of the song.
So I rest my case saying they're pretty similar and hard to choose a better one.
And also some credit to George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who just don't get a spotlight for their voice because they rarely sing, but when they do they also come out with a great pitch.
-
I voted for John. There's an edge in his voice that is totally captivating and works well with rockers as well as with the slower pop tunes.
Paul has the most technically superior voice in that he has a wider range of notes that he can sing. His high harmonies are magnificent, and he can rock with the best of them. He can also do the old music hall stuff like Your Mother Should Know.
His Little Richard voice blows me away.
Paul says in some interview that John's voice is sharp, where his is round. And he's right. Try to mimic John's singing and your voice will be making staccato-like sounds, very crisp. Then mimic Paul--your voice softens considerably.
George has a great voice too. Unlike J&P, when George sings, you can really hear his Scouse accent and nasality--he's not trying so hard to sound American. His harmonies are gorgeous and add depth to the songs.
Ringo's vocals are cute.
-
Paul McCartney is A much Better Singer
-
john.
i prefer his songs and i prefer his voice. (to paul's)
:) carlo (my son, he is 4) likes ringo's voice.
and when i was 3 i used to like ringo the best.
-
I voted George because I knew the majority would vote for Paul or John.
I now realise I should have voted for Ringo.
-
I voted for Macca. His voice is just awsome, He can do so many things with his voice its amazing. Songs like I've got a feeling and 1985, his voice sounds so different from each song and both are great. He's just got a great voice and in my opinion the best of the four.
-
Y'know, people say that John has the perfect rock voice, but I bet if that voice belonged to a girl you would say she couldn't sing.
-
If a girl had a voice like John that would scare the sh*t out of me.
-
Paul
-
Johns voice is unique thats why I voted for him.
-
Here Ill try to show how I rank their voices.
1.John.
2. George
3. Paul
4. Ringo
-

No offense but personally I dont like any girl singers much.
-
When ever i list out my favourite songs 90% of them have Johnny singing :P
-
I voted Paul even though i like John's voice ,Paul as a more all round voice :)
-
John's is the most unique sounding of the 4 and is most recognizable, you know its John straight away as soon as he starts singing in the same way with Liam Gallagher
Paul can adapt his voice to fit the song and also can hit real highs and lows.
George's voice is quite like John's but without the rasp i used to have trouble picking his and John's voice apart when they were harmonizing
ringo's................ has a nice narrative voice
Paul has the best all round voice for me at his peak there was nothing he couldn't do vocally throw a rocker at him and he would sing it better than the rest, throw a soft ballad and he could sing it softer and sweeter then the rest, and the notes he could reach wow
-
Didn't we do at least two of these before?
Anyway, my favorites are George (speaking) and John (singing). :)

i think it is the same one , its just been re answered and brought back to the top of topics list
-
I voted for Paul McCartney. His voice can go High or Low depending on what song he's singing whereas John cannot, or at least not as well as Paul can.

well, paul does have slight problems hitting high notes now! :P

He needs tighter trousers!
John's is my favourite voice, but Paul's is far stronger and more versatile.
-
He needs tighter trousers!
in the words of the Rutles, i think it was the trousers! ;D
-
FINALLY! Men are getting what's important to women.
Bring back the codpiece, I say! (You'll need it with those super tight trousers)

Time for an update on the old User Pics thread! *plays Romeo and Juliet theme music*
-
John.
Paul could have never sung "I am the Walrus."
John could have sung "Oh Darling" better than Paul.
Paul couldn't have pulled off the irony in "Girl."
John could have done "A Day in the Life" without Paul but not vice versa.
John sang with his soul (at his best), Paul sang with his throat.
Course I don't know how John would have sounded on Yesterday or Hey Jude but he probably could have pulled off Lady Madonna.
-
John could have sung "Oh Darling" better than Paul.
I disagree, although I am sure John would have done a good job.
John sang with his soul (at his best), Paul sang with his throat.
Paul sings Let It Be and Hey Jude with his soul in my opinion.
-
When it comes to Paul singing with his throat, i think i understand adamzero's point* but i disagree in the technical vocal sense that to reach those notes, you draw from the gut. lennon has a mid-treb tone and McCartney has a warmer woollier bass tone.
*I'm imagining the Little Richard screamers here.
Not in any disrespect i say this AZ, i love your posts.
-
I think I may have posted on a thread like this before. All their voices have quality, My fave? Too tough but ringo is out of it....Sorry amigo.
Lennon's tearing, heartfelt vocals are unsurpassed and yet Macca can dance the musical pallette with ease. George could be the most sensitive singer of them all though. :-/
What a combination. ;)

Hey, AB, you're my kind of fan! *gives you a complete collection of rare Beatles outtakes in lossless format * you're welcome* ;)
Lovely post, Adamzero. I love it when people share the reason behind their opinions!
-
I think all The Beatles had " Soul " even Ringo , he's got a lovely soulfull voice just like mine ;D
John had an amazing recording voice ,one of the best ever , but he had a ropy live voice, his voice in that arena became fragile early on it was'nt built for smoky clubs or trying to scale the clammer of screaming fans. He also did'nt take care of it ,f**s and drugs were not good for it.
Paul as a great recording voice, a little to tricksy sometimes , but when he sang straight on songs like " Fool On The Hill ", he could come very close to Lennon ?
In the live arena Paul's voice as stood the test of time , all though the cracks are now showing , but it did give him 40 years good service.
And " Wings Over America " prove i feel he had the best allround voice . Which is why i voted for him . Having said that John really does sound the best on The Beatles recordings :)
It's a close call for me.
And i really like George 's voice it's very underratted i love how he melds it with his guitar . :)
-

I think i would go with that! ;)
i'm having difficulty choosing just one! :-/
-
What a combination. ;)
And that's the crux of it. They've each got distinctive qualities which produces both diversity and a wonderful blend when working together. It was magic.
:)
-
Lennon = better voice
Macca = better singer
-
George- greatest voice (talking or singing) that I have EVER heard!
-
^Haha, that's how it is for me with Paul! ;D Nice post
I voted for Paul, although I do love all of their voices so much. Paul's voice just really has a ton of variety, I once heard someone on this forum (can't remember who it was) say that he's "the man of a thousand voices". He can do things like Here, There and Everywhere, or Yesterday, and then do something like Oh Darling or Long Tall Sally. His voice just seems so flawless and clear. It really appeals to my taste, I love it so much.
-
I love Paul's voice because it's so deep and enchanting. he has this sweet smooth sound.
I love John second thought because his voice is so haunting and clear.
-
When I hear John's voice I wanna cry! i like him so much!!!!!!!!!
-
I voted for Macca because he can sing any style!

One more time, then! I like Paul's voices the best. After all, he is the "Man of a Thousand Voices."

^Dude, Paul looks high in that picture.
I voted for George because to me, John and Paul's vocals are tied and since I can't choose between them, I had to go with George(who's also my favorite Beatle.)
But I think George has the best accent out of all of them. :D
-
^Dude, Paul looks high in that picture.
Yeah, he actually does. xD
Anyway, I prefer Lennon's. George in second place, I suppose.
-
John could have sung "Oh Darling" better than Paul.
Not better, just differently.
-
John was capable of putting his whole self into a song. You can almost feel him when he`s singing. That`s amazing! John sang as if it was his last time. Noone has surpassed him yet.
-
I love all their voices but Paul's takes the cake because his has an amazing range. I mean, when I first heard "Here, There, and Everywhere," I couldn't believe the soft and soothing vocals were sang by the same guy who I heard shrieking and wailing in "Helter Skelter."
-
Paul absolutely has the best voice. John does have that something in his voice, emotion, soul, I don't know what you'd call it, but let's be honest with ourselves Paul has the greatest range. You're not going to convince me otherwise. George has a sweet voice, but it's rather weak imo and deosn't hold a candle to Paul or John.
-
Paul... coz his voice is so incredibly versatile
