With all the new threads being started, I want to try and bring new life to an old but very good one.
This is a difficult question because usually the vocal performances were dictated by the inspiration for the song, so in that light I've decided to focus on the Beatles biggest inspiration, love.
John- Everybodys Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey…what can I say? The man was in love and wanted to scream it to the world. Maybe this songs about heroin, with the line “the deeper you go, the higher you fly” but I've never heard anyone so happy about heroin. This song was about Yoko Ono. Whenever I hear this song I think of a video that I've seen somewhere of John and Yoko walking down the street and John just starts dancing. What else do you want to do when you're in love but dance? This song is the perfect representation of that.
Paul- Good Day Sunshine …oh Jane Asher must have really been something. It was between this and Here, There, and Everywhere but his voice is so excited and emphatic on this song. I love the extra emphasis when he says “I'm SO proud to know that she is mine.” The man was just happy.
George- Something …well it was between this and the anthology version. Arguably the greatest love song of all time for its simplicity alone. It's just a word, something, and George summed it up perfectly.
Ringo- It's hard to say because of the lack of original material but I like Ringo's voice best when he acts, you know, naturally.

– When I Twish And Shout, it makes the Girl say "What Goes On?", and than I say, "I do this Here, There and Everywhere", and than she finishes by saying "Honey Don't".

Offline People actually say that the Beatles aren’t good singers? If Because isn’t the best singing ever recorded, I don’t know what is.

I think John's vocal in A Hard Day's Night is really amazing… and perhaps underappreciated. There are so many subtleties and so much character and life in his singing. I love how he elongates the syllables in a different word each time he sings the chorus: it's been a haaaard day's night, it's been a hard day's niiight, it's bbbbeen a hard day's night. There are so many other words in the song that have a special little Lennon flair, too… just delicious!
Have you watched the Shea concerts? When they did “A Hard Day's Night,” my jaw dropped. Literally. It sounds so different live! But I thought it sounded cool. I think I prefer the album version, though, because it sounds “cleaner.”
: “A Day In The Life .” Definitely. It's so… I can't find a word that works. And the way “I'd love to turn you on” fades into the orchestra? Magic.
: “Day Tripper .” It sounds purer than other songs I could mention. (The sound quality, not the lyrics! 😉 )
: “Roll Over Beethoven .” Double-tracking suits George's voice well. But “Here Comes The Sun ” is scooting up pretty close.
: “With A Little Help From My Friends .” I'm not sure about it, but the last note might be the highest note I've heard Ringo sing.
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

I really, really love the way John sings “having read the book,” “now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall,” and, of course, “I'd love to turn you on.” That G is amazing.

Offline You revived the thread and I re-read my post, and I'm in disagreement with myself so here are some of my favorite lines.
John – I'm a Loser (What have I done to deserve such a fate) Hide Your Love Away (How could she say to me, love will find a way)
Paul – I Will (Will I wait a lonely lifetime, if you want me to I will) Get Back , the whole thing, he just sounds so cool.
George – I, Me, Mine (All I can hear, I, me mine, I Me Mine , I Me Mine ) For You Blue (I love you more than ever girl, I do)
Ringo – Don't Pass Me By (I'm just waiting to hear from yooou) WALHFMF, I love how he responds to John and Paul, are you sad because you're on your own? No.

I'd have to agree 100%. If you've ever tried singing Oh! Darling , you'll understand exactly why it took Paul a million takes to perfect.
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.
I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

All of the above are my favorite vocals, respectively – not necessarily for the lyrics.
