I like George's singing but....

[tkitna]

Thats the third time i've typed out a long post and lost it. Maybe I am a dummy. I cant even post on the forum anymore and I dont think George Harrison was perfect. Whats next?

[glass onion]

wrong. to be perfectly honest... plenty here have said precisely that and/or have implied the same, and also that he barely knew how to play the guitar, his songs are throw-aways, the lyrics simplistic, worked hard to learn the guitar, etc. everything stated here is just an opinion, but reading some of the tedious, dogmatic assertions here one would think otherwise. and yes i do think george had a good singing voice, as you have said his harmonies are flawless. perhaps you misinterpret my simple and direct statements. 

oh,sorry about that then if that is what you think....well i certainly never said that george couldn't sing-and i never said he couldn't play guitar either.in complete contrast,george is one of my favourite players.i have never been into the hendrix-y kind of playing and georges' style was perfect in my opinion.what a shame, that you cannot seem to grasp the fact that we are all george/beatle fans who's opinions differ somewhat every now and again.we all think george was great despite what we are stating;-pity that fact is being clouded in your head.sorry 7 of 13 but george harrison did not have the greatest of singing voices when he sang on his own.nuff said.but i like his voice...............

the first thing I wrote when i started this thread was.........'i like georges singing.....'

that means i think he could sing and i liked it  4ac

not my fault if 7 of 13 acts like a 7 goin on 8 year old  ha2ha

Disagreeing is what discussion forums like this are based upon. Besides that, music as a piece of art is subject to taste. And that is subject to acceptance in itself.

Should I put this in Latin?

In discordia hic forum fundat.  Etiam musica intelligentia est subiectum.  Quod acceptio subiectum est.

i like how he says the word 'weird' in all those years ago . .
-
also how he said it was gonna take a 'whole lot of spending money' in got my mind set on you
-
his voice gets ballistic at the end of wah wah
-
i'm partial to don't ever change -  george shines on those vocals
-------------------------------------------
-
listen to golden slumbers and all i've got to do if you think george is in john or paul's league for singing
or yesterday and don't let me down
-
then again - sometimes hearing marvin gaye or otis redding has me thinking that john just "carries a tune" - comparatively speaking
-
it's whatever

. . . . for the first half of the beatles' fame, george played the key role of having a third kind of personality for a certain demographic of teenaged girl to have a crush on
-
so . . . . . . GET PAID !  ;yes

thanks for the music knowledge h.g. - but i'm disappointed because i thought it was a george original

furthermore, when i heard an 80's george talk about it's gonna take alot of money to do it right... i was like....
DAMN ! george is pulling out all the stops ! he's dipping deep into that beatles cash to court a girl !

[nyfan(41)]

btw - tkitna's summary of george's songs was direct, smacked of unbiased honesty and . . was thoroughly entertaining to read ! lol
i felt the same as many things you wrote and didn't even realize it until i read your analysis

Me too, all except for Blue Jay Way.  I like that one.

He made out all right with that song, nyfan, with its three music videos.  I've always liked that song.

Here he is doing it live...
