Bye Bye Bye*NSYNC

*NSYNC – Bye Bye Bye (Official Video)

The song “Bye Bye Bye,” used as the opening for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by *NSYNC.

Perhaps because it was used almost in full within the movie, the association of Deadpool = Bye Bye Bye has really stuck.

Surprisingly, the song sits in a relatively low vocal range and doesn’t require the kind of intricate, R&B-style melodic runs.

As long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to sing it without any issues—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
