The Beatles: Girl vs. You're Gonna Lose That Girl

[BeatlesFan]

Which Beatles song with 'Girl' in the title do you prefer? My vote goes to You're Gonna Lose That Girl. I LOVE John Lennon's vocals in it. Everyone always picks Twist + Shout as his best Beatles vocals, but I think You're Gonna Lose That Girl best shows his singing talent.

Girl is good but You're Gonna Lose That Girl is one of my favorite earlier Beatles tunes. The vocals, both lead and backups, are fantastic.

Both very nice gem songs.

I will agree that You're Gonna Lose That Girl really shows John's talent as a singer. However, as an overall song, I'd have to go with Girl. John said it was one of the best songs he ever wrote. Who's to argue with the master?
