I know, that's why I said that there's no doubt for ME that it's Paul. Wait , didn't this exact same thing happen earlier in the thread?
It does sound more like Paul, but in my mind it will always be John. It's like She Said She Said , which he clearly doesn't say “i've never been born” at least the first two times, so even if all the evidence points to those lyrics, I still don't believe it.

I like the “Paul is inside the piano” thing. That just reminds me of The Exciting Adventure of Paul on the Floor.
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

My kids listened “A Day In The Life ” for the first time two days ago.
I told them to listen carefully, because a lot of people thought that this was the Beatles's best song, so they were very quiet and still, listening….
When it ended, they sighted and they said: “It's SCARY”
– Scary how?, I asked
– TOO INTENSE, mami, TOO INTENSE!!!!!

Offline 2005, The 1967 Beatles track ‘A Day In The Life ’ from Sgt Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band was voted the best British song of all time by music experts. The survey by Q magazine called the track “the ultimate sonic rendition of what it means to be British”.

Offline I've always wondered this but it sounds like Paul started it and John finished it- because in the middle of it, there is a very small break and then the ahh's start again- it doesn't seem like Paul had enough time to take a big enough breath to finish the aghhh's out- the agghh's come back almost immediately as if as soon as Paul stops, John starts to do it because in the last section that agghh voice sounds so much like him. And it would make perfect sense if they did that because it would represent Paul's waking state fading out and John's dream state fading in and taking back over.

Offline Well, for me it's John. I've been a huge beatles fan for more than 4 years, although these are very few years, i've heard all the songs with detail i'm not perfect i know, but, i'm 100% sure, this is john's vocals. At 2:58-3:00 we can hear a breath, that's Paul breath from take 6, John is making the 'aaaahs…' along with Paul & George on backing vocals making ''aaaaah…uhhhhh''.
But well, others says, nah it's Paul, or it's George or it's the three of them.
Or the reverb & echo makes the illusion that it's John.
Or that, this is still Paul's dream.
I've always thinked that Paul went to a dream and John is the one who is doing the vocals of that dream and then suddenly we woke up reading the news today.
Well, all of us, have our opinions, very different or similar, but NEVER the same.
This forum it's intersting because, we are sharing our points of view of who is singing this part, and commenting about the song itself, the parts, the four beatles, and all who worked with them, and how they're related to the song, etcetera.
Well, I have expressed my opinion. It's John, for me.
What you think? Who did it?

Fascinating how this topic still draws attention.
And I have to admit I'm really astounded about the high number of people – enthusiastic Beatlefans! – who – after listening to the vocal track – still believe it's John.
In my opinion, this is not a matter of opinion, like who do you like better? You can hear who's singing there, and that's Paul. It's just not as easy to identify. With the original mix it's harder, but the vocal track proves it.
I would still love to hear Paul's version of the “aaahs”.

Offline Listen to Good Evening New York City , although he ruins the song by segueing into Give Peace A Chance . I cannot fathom why he thought that would be a good replacement for the final verse and *that* chord.
I'm surprised this topic still receives attention too. There appears to be very little to add beyond opinion masquerading as fact. It's quite repetitive too. Still, if people want to join in it's not my business…

Offline You seem to be a nice person PaulBass, but with all this discussion makes me care a damn about who sings the “Ahhs”. So, the more you insist, the less you're going to convince us (or me). Of course, you might care a damn if I'm convinced or not. If you truly believe in your heart is Paul, wonderful!!!
There's a rule on Internet that says “There will always someone who will hate Citizen Kane”, meaning that there will be always someone who trash masterpieces, and someone who will be against your opinion, even if you are right. So, let it be. But if you want to go on and that makes you happy, go for it man.

Thanks for the warm words, I appreciate them
As I said, I never thought this would ever turn into – this! I didn't even care that much about those “aaahs” either, and I also haven't been so sure about them. But after listening to that vocal track it's just very hard for me to understand how any Beatlefan could not identify Paul singing.
I'm aware of the problem the kind of forcing facts down other people'S throats (I never wanted to do that or thought I'd have to, I just rejected false information) doesn't make it easier to accept, it's counterproductive.
So I do agree I should let go of this thread as well, since as I said before, everything has been said.
Sorry again.
No problem PaulsBass. Again, this shows you're a nice person.
I know that you find hard to believe that people can't identify Paul's singing the “ahhs”. But some people believe in their truths, even if it's wrong. I know a person who describes the Beatles as John Lennon and his chorus. I mean, probably Marcelo or Zig will say “Hey that's true! John was the leading singer and the other 2 were only singing the chorus to him!!” but I think that most of Beatle fans can understand that Paul and George were more than that. And it seems that no matter what's told to this fan, he will insist on his idea, calling it “The truth about the Beatles”.
We're way too many Beatle fans to have a same opinion, and that's what makes the forums interesting and fun. And with this nice response from you, I might change my attitude towards the topic. maybe, maybe in a few weeks I might pick up my headphones and listen to different versions I have of a Day in Life and see just for fun who sings the ahhs. Maybe I discover my suspects : It was Ringo. 
Just kidding. Just don't push it PaulsBass… ok??
(Zig and Marcelo, it was just an example, don't start a thread named “The Beatles named should've been Long John and the Beetles”
