I can sing lead but you can hear my voice strain but I prefer back-up or harmonizing with someone (a more Paul and George kind of harmony on All My Loving ). But I sing George's parts the best.

WOW, YOU’RE A REALLY HARD BEATLES FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After I took it, it opened my eyes. We only use one-tenth of our brain. Just think what we could all accomplish if we could only tap that hidden part. It would mean a whole new world. If the politicians would take LSD, there wouldn't be any more War or poverty or famine.

I mostly just take lead, although on some songs with the oooohhhh’s as backing vocals I’ll take those.

I love George's songs, but they're so low and I'm a soprano. So, I usually just mouth the words or go up an octave. Sometimes (like While My Guitar Gently Weeps ) he sings high enough that I can sing along.

Generally Paul's parts, I think I have a similar vocal range to him. But it depends.

I think it's great you're going through a phase,

and I'm awfully glad it'll all be over in a couple

of days

Love singing the backing vocals on Help !

I actually taught my friend both so we could sing it, I have to say I was pretty pleased with myself. Did the same thing with Twist And Shout with two of my other friends. Seriously, try it. 'tis fun.

I can only sing Ringo’s parts, as I’m a baritone. However, I sound almost EXACTLY like him when I sing. a-hard-days-night-ringo-4

I’m an alto, so I just tend to sing any of the harmonies.

The part of the howling dog. If you heard me sing you’d be burying your head 6ft in the ground.

Though I like to sing, and I sing my own songs, I find I can’t do justice to the songs I like from the Beatles.  One strange phenomenon I notice is that a given melody will sound high, but when I try to match it with my voice, my voice can only seem to hit what seems to be an octave above — and yet if I try to lower it an octave below, it’s obviously way too deep. 

Hello Goodbye ” and “Penny Lane ” are typical of this phenomenon.  It’s like Paul is singing high, and yet not high at the same time.  I don’t get it.

Oh and I usually just sing the lead, unless it’s too low. The harmonies are sometimes fun though.

Usually I sing the lead. If the song has particularly exiting backing vocals, like Twist And Shout , Please Mister Postman , Help !, or Octopus Garden, or what, then I’ll do those. Sometimes I try to sing both lead and backing vocals.

Now that I think of it — I forgot all about this.  Back in the late 1980s I was going around singing in open mikes, and there was this one cafe with a high ceiling and about 50 tables and lots of people talking and distraction, so I felt comfortable just sitting in a corner with my friend and I was practicing for my set later that evening — over and over practicing my cover of “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer “.  I recall (dimly) that I seemed to have the vocal part down pretty well, it was fun to sing, and the guitar chords weren’t that hard.  For some reason, I just stopped singing that song in the last 20 years.  Must pick it up again.

I used to always sing John’s parts, but after doing some singing in choirs and learning to sing harmonies from my mother I found that I had a tenor voice (not an extremely high tenor but a tenor nonetheless) and so it naturally gravitated to Paul’s higher harmony lines. Some Paul songs are exceedingly hard to sing but I quite enjoy practicing them until I can reach the higher notes.

Lead, unless there someone is with me, then I might sing harmony or vice versa.

I love singing, and not to brag, but I’m a pretty good singer. I like to sing lead and harmonies, and there’s not specifically one Beatle whose part I stick to. I’m a soprano, though, so some songs’ vocal parts are too low for me. I usually don’t sing those songs at all, because it just sounds weird when I sing an octave higher. Or I’ll sing the higher harmonies on them.

When I jam with my friends I almost always sing Paul’s part. Even when I’m just singing along I typically go for Paul’s lead or harmony. Not unlike others, I love trying to stick with just one vocal part for a whole song or album.  Sometimes I’m in a John mood, but I hardly ever go out of my way to sing George or Ringo’s parts. (Although, on an unrelated note, I do learn both John and George’s guitar parts to a song and play them separately depending on what I feel like.)

I forgot to mention that I used to be in an a capella singing group, in which we did Because /You Never Give Me Your Money . On Because , I sang the harpsichord. :->
