This is the best version of Silent Night ever recorded. Anyone can sing with music, even badly if the musicians are good enough to cover for bad singing. There is no cover for this type of singing. It's all on the the voice and ears.

It’s smooth as velvet ❤

LITERALLY the last group of REAL male singers who actually understood pitch and vocal control! These boys blended their vocals and then complimented one another at the same time!

And Mike's bass is the only that I've heard on par or possibly even better than Melvin's from the Temptations.
