The Way I Am (Ingrid Michaelson song)

On September 21, 2007, Michaelson made her network television debut performing the song on Last Call with Carson Daly.

In 2013, Caroline Pennell sang the song on the fifth season of The Voice in the knockout rounds, winning widespread fame, and was deemed the front runner of the show with her performance.

The song is frequently used to demonstrate Bose Corporation products due to its deep bass and crisp vocals.

Other dancers glare at Michaelson and she runs from the dance to a bathroom, where she uses lipstick to give her reflection the appearance of a clown nose, and then labels herself a "freak."

The single benefited from the exposure through its use in a national television ad campaign for Old Navy sweaters.
