Sign in to disble this ad
Lennon, Mccartney or Jagger?
Three great singers...who did you think was the best?
Today i think Mccartney is better then Jagger in the old age as they are in now...
Mccartney sang better then both George Michael and Bono on Live 8. For a year ago. |

McCartney - no contest.
[Mickie J can be given points as a Performer, but as a singer alone, he's not even in the same League as Sir Paul. Sorry.]

In fact, IIRC, John wrote "A Hard Day's Night" and he was supposed to sing it (a clue to know who wrote what in most of The Beatles' catalog) but he had to ask Paul so sing the "When I'm home..." section because it was so high for him. |

Jagger wins if you consider strutting and stage performance alone, but vocally, he's pretty limited. Lennon had a great rock and roll voice, but again, he didn't come close to McCartney's range. |

Sir Paul, Is the best singer of that trio by far. He has a great voice, great range, a signature sound and the ability to get gnarly when needed.
