The sang alternately onstage and each had his own style. John exuded
pent-up energy and sexuality, strutting and pacing the stage with his
head tilted back, as if he was looking down his nose at the crowd. Most
people took this for arrogance, and John had plenty of that, but he
actually did it because he was so short-sighted. He was relatively
aloof from the audience -- he did most of the announcements and took the
mickey out of people in suits or smart clothes,taunting rockers,
students, older people -- whoever was there. The more outrageous he
was, the more popular the Beatles became.
Paul was also energetic onstage, but his style was more seductive than John's. He wooed the crowd, made friends with them, and the girls loved
his big eyes and baby face. He was the most popular with girls, but
John didn't mind -- all of the boys attracted plenty of attention and
loved the fans coming to tell them how great they were.
