Jo Dee Messina’s Sassy Song “Bye Bye” Earns Remake From Kelly Clarkson

Jo Dee Messina’s “Bye Bye” Is A ’90s Country Classic

Kelly Clarkson was born in 1982, so she grew up listening to ’90s country artists like Jo Dee Messina. We’ve heard her sing several ’90s country songs on her talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show.

One of her offerings was a cover of Jo Dee Messina‘s popular song, “Bye Bye.”

Messina released “Bye Bye” in 1998. It became her first #1 song on the Hot Country Songs chart and spent two weeks at the top of that chart.

She went on to win the Top New Female Vocalist award at the ACM Awards later that year.

“Bye Bye” was actually co-written by another country singer, Phil Vassar. Rory Bourke was his co-writer on the track.

Vassar included his rendition on his 2006 Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 album. He changed the lyrics for his version so the song made sense from a male point of view.

If you’ve never heard it before, enjoy Vassar’s rendition of “Bye Bye” in the clip below.

Now, we have another outstanding rendition of “Bye Bye” to enjoy, thanks to Kelly Clarkson. The Kelly Clarkson Show viewers made it clear they loved her rendition of the feisty song.

“D—, Queen Kelly does nineties country SO AWESOMELY!!” one fan commented on the official YouTube video of Clarkson’s performance (which has since been deleted).

Another viewer said, “What a beautiful song matched with Kelly’s voice. I felt her and the band’s enjoyment performing.”

“I think we have all sang this one before when we needed that lift me up kind of day. Kelly is amazing, she can sing it all so beautifully!” someone else wrote.
