Nsync - Oh Holy Night Acapella

They really were terrific! Their blend is so excellent, pitch and diction are too ... they were just a fantastic group! And this was a wonderful version of O Holy NIght! And A Capella too! WOW!

[@terrorzilla]

I saw them in concert ahead of Christmas during their No Strings Attached tour. They were singing O Holy Night instead of their other a cappella number I Thought She Knew. It's my favorite Christmas song and was just a fantastic to hear and feel in person. @@normagilpin7841

Lance Bass is killing this song! Without him, it wouldn't be the same

[@surrenderdorothy516]

N'Sync needs to promote this aspect of their history more. This arrangement is especially difficult, even by acapella standards. Alternate chords, tons of movement, switching assignments/parts left and right, controlled head voice use, no safety net - this is legit! And they tweaked a tuning or two at the beginning, so it's reasonable to think it's genuinely live, unaided. N'Sync got a lot of stereotyping, and played into it sometimes, but this is above criticism. Musicality, baby.

[@chansonette22]

Yup. Sheer musical brilliance.

[@upholstery1995]

Yesssss. Exactly. Beautiful arrangement and execution. Love the complexity of the song. Not sure the Backstreet Boys could've executed this as well.

[@nataliegracemartin421]

Joey never gets enough credit for holding down those baritone harmonies...his voice never carries a lead or a bassline, his notes are all color and damn he just fits them in there. He might've never been featured that much, but he could sure hold his own.

[@Alli..920]

[@misselaneous2774]

Preach!

[@moimoi-kj8rg]

Bsb has lack of bass

[@alvaromartingrunertvillega829]

Es verdad que esta presentación es perfecta y hermosa, y es cierto también que Nsync técnicamente es superior y que está mejor estructurado en cuanto a su juego de voces, de hecho los BSB no tienen a alguien como Lance Bass. Sin embargo lo técnico es solo un aspecto de la música, no lo es todo. Hay otra parte q es el sabor, el color, el ángel. Brian tuvo el timbre más dulce, más angelical e inspirador, y AJ la voz con más sabor y también la más original. Nsync gana en talento pero los Backstreet Boys ganan en mística.

[@redandwhite0611]

I love Lance's voice! I wish he was given more credit when they were together.

[@ExtraChocolate80]

This is the best version of O' Holy Night ever. I never heard it acapella before. This CD came out I think it was 1998. It's sad to see that guys in the music industry in general doesn't sing this way anymore. Ok maybe a solo artist, but not a band. It makes you look back and really respect and appreciate boy bands even more. The 90's and early 2000's were really special. Can 1 Dimension, I mean 1 Direction do this? I think not.

[@Perid0tStar]

its a little different flair, but since you like acapella music i suggest Peter Hollens channel. He does a lot of different requests for his fans and has O Holy Night, Georgia, and lots of others. He's one of those that record several tracks all in harmony and its pretty good stuff

[@jenndement4671]

ExtraChocolate80 it’s true. I loved Nsync, BSB and 98 degrees back then, but I can see why ppl would think they were cheesy back then. However, they have superior talents, especially compared to today’s singers. It was just a different vibe back then. It was more chill and no frills kind of thing. It was more about the music. And truly I admire them for singing songs the way they’re meant to be sung-for instance, the national anthem-while bringing their own style to it.

Origin Music Finally someone who understands some music lol. This song and I Thought She Knew in particular have some interesting chords. One Direction mostly sang simple 3 part harmonies (with some parts obviously being doubled). Pretty easy for any singer to learn. But I’ll say in their defense, they all started out as solo singers and were basically forced into a group, whereas *NSYNC was formed as a vocal group from the start.

[@stephenquinto2561]

People overlook that the sound engineer is really the real MVP. Acapella performances are super delicate in the fact that the person running the board needs to get each vocalist's levels/cuts/EQs on point AND mix them well together so they can sound good as NSYNC did in this classic instance. If the mix sucks ass, the sound and the performance will go accordingly, even if the vocalists are on point themselves.
