Ah am so steel een luv weeth yoo
I think Richard has very average talent when it comes to singing. But let's face it. People don't purchase music so that they can hear average singing. Karen had one of the best voices the music world had known and people are willing to shell out money to hear a voice of that quality.
Some say that Karen could sing the phone book and make it sound good. But with Richard, even if the song was very good and the arrangement was very good, his voice would still be adequate but not good.
I know this might sound insane, but my favorite vocal by Richard is him singing "Get Together" on Offering/Ticket To Ride, even though I prefer the version where Karen is singing that same song.
Richard's vocal is dripping in tremolo on "Get it Together". I don't think you're insane but it's not my thing at all. It makes no sense for the song. It was just done to cloak Richard's vocal blandness. Karen's vocal is many light years better and that's the one they should have gone with IMHO. My old tired trope is that Richard had zero business singing any lead vocals when he had Karen at his disposal.
