Voice can refer to singing voice, accent, or speaking voice, whatever you prefer.

Personally, I voted George because he has the most interesting accent to listen to which goes well with his singing, but I've always thought the way Ringo scornfully throws "Southerner!" at the policeman in A Hard Day's Night is amazing.

It's gotta be George!! I mean, just you look at the way he says 'Grandfather' in a Hard Days Night- it's liverpudlian excellence! It's kind of like 'Grrandfuuther' hah you know what I mean




But every so often you come across something truly inspiring...

Oh, cool! Another poll! *clicks wildly*

Hey, George voice fans. We're inviting a retaliation. C'mon, other fans of the Fab 4. What do you think of the guys' voices?

I voted for George. Actually i had to decide between George and John but then I remembered George's remark in Help!
"Well they wont disambowel (sp?) us you see".... so   He talks so slow and has such a thick liverpudlian accent it is so... georgeous!

Ringo seems to have the most impersonated voice of the four i think.
He always seemed to have a thick Liverpool accent!

The best accents has Paul and George for me.
But O can't vote for voice - cause I like them all.
Every Beatle has specific originally voice

Paul has great voice scale - I love rock'n roll Lady Madonna when he sing with that "big and sharp" voice. It reminds me something hot ...
But I love his voice in "Paperback writter" and another songs like that too.
And great is also in "We can work it out" - his sweet sad voice, reminds me cold but sweet something ...

George is my favourit singer ... I love almost all his songs - and I always think about his voice as great, brilliant and sweet.
I can't stop listen to him, when he is talking and singing.
he has so magic voice like from dreaming ladn.
It reminds me somebody with great imagination who always is dreaming about something ... like me !

John has amazing voice - when he was talking or singing - doesn't matter - he always make me thrill.
He has typically rock'n roll voice but i still loves his ballads like "Watching the wheels" and great songs as "Rain" - his voice there reminds me warm rain !

Ringo is so sweet guy. His voice is just like him - magic, happy and sweet.
I love his happy songs - they makes me feel good all the time.
And I love when he is talking too! Especially in the middle of the songs ...


Peace !

George does have the sexiest voice I ever heard. His voice sounded so great in AHDN!

Yeah, you always have such great pictures, Hello Goodbye!  
You're right, harihead - perfect picture! Paul looks really good in this one... I like his expression, and the high collar!   The Fool on the Hill clip is one of my favourite parts in MMT.

Hehe, yeah, before I voted for George I almost went for Ringo... I really like his voice and the way he talks

I think Rings' accent sounds different because he grew up more lower-class than the other three. His actual accent isn't much different, but he uses a lot more slang and Liverpudlian brogue, if you will. (For example, George is a bit more proper in that he usually says 'my', but Ringo says 'me' quite a lot. 'My dog', 'me dog', etc.)

I'm a John fan but I think that George's voice is sexy and his accent is elegant, so I vote for him.

I agree with sewi i think George has a very elegant accent. If you've seen the credits at the end of the movie Help! I love how he sounds when he rushed to say "I Need You by George Harrison"

Heh, funny story about that...I was babysitting my younger cousins, and they decided that they wanted to watch a movie. I was looking through their small store of movies and came across Thomas the Tank Engine, and promptly decided to mindlessly exploit the children by having them watch it NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE RINGO NARRATED IT.

And it was the American narrator.

I was so pissed.
