I don't care what you think about them personally, these guys could all sing. Clips like this where they're going a capella prove it. This is one of my favorite melodies when it's performed properly, they pretty much hit the nail on the head here. Those harmonies are awesome, and Timberlake's lead in the beginning is very strong, and the song really never falls from the tone he sets.
The song was written in 1847 by Adolphe Adam. It was set to a poem written by the French poet, Placide Cappeau. He was an atheist that was asked by the parish priest in his hometown to compose something for their Christmas celebration. Despite his religious stance, he agreed.
