Ingrid Michaelson - The way I am

[TheSeptet]

Too short. Dammit Ingrid, why can't you write longer songs? Now I'm going to have to listen to this on I loop until I cry my eyes out.

[ARunawayTrain]

I find it funny none of you got the message here, she's trying to say that everyone wears a mask, everyone has imperfections and many try to be something they're not...hence the clown make up. It's not creepy if you get the underlying message.

[PooOnShu]

@ARunawayTrain It doesn't make it less creepy. I don't like it either.

[cookieWedding]

@ARunawayTrain if only more people saw that too

[TheRealEzzy]

@ARunawayTrain If I got a penny for every time I heard that "message"

[tommyv166123]

i miss the comertial for burlington coat factory with this song...

[emilyputz97]

Scariest music video in my life time. holy fuck.

[cptmrgn318]

This song is way too short.

[JhonnyDaemon]

This song is beautiful.

[LalalaProductions23]

scary -_-

[leaslic]

lisa loeb

[kalea808]

Like this if you're watching this in 2011 :]

[LeSuperPixel]

@kalea808 How about... shut up :D

[Aradicaldreamer]

She needs a hug.

[KAYLASOSEDUCTIVE]

why is this the music video!? lol its scary but such a great songg

[purpletellatuby1025]

5 people dont get taken the way they are... 

[Mata4president]

clowns really freak me out, but this song itself is awesome

[mi2kute18]

love love love this!

[RobT89]

Ingrid is such a babe

[DJZombiLincoln]

I didn't wear make up to that party either. I felt like a freak too!

[thatwardgirl]

Good heavens. This is perfect.

[Xmaster542]

Some songs should last forever. d(",d

[AngelakaJennifer]

Just found this song, Ahh.. she has a good voice and this song just rocked my world.

[ItsMiguel1]

Beautiful song.Her voice is lovely.

[Carefulwiththetoxics]

I heard this song when i was eight and all of a sudden i wake up humming it,then i sang it then i looked it up.I miss these days <3

[MsCece1111]

I love how when they kiss at the end the two little girls giggle... haha its soo funny (:

[Ashley511381]

@MsCece1111 O O ikr they even stop clapping lol

[TheFroggy916]

i sooooooooooooooo love this song! its my fav song! i cant belive that 5 people dont like this song!

[jcc1996]

Thumbs up, if yu first heard this on the old navy commercial

[NannerBell313]

I first heard a clip of this song on a clothing store commercial lol I cant remember what one, love it.

[ItsNoelMulkey]

@NannerBell313 old navy

[kimib79]

I love this song, but the video is beyond creepy.

[LouCBee]

Only just heard this song for the 1st time and I absolutely love it! It was on a website I was browsing, just had to google the lyrics to find out what it was. Such a gorgeous voice! It's not long enough though lol

[temari9922]

love this song. and i hate clowns and this video was still cute!

[puppysix99]

I love this song but the clowns scared the hell out of me!

[redfield916]

i hate the fact it was a two minute song, at the end i wanted more of that song 

[ThePerfectlyUnique]

i listen to this more than i can promise...i LOVE IT!

[xkawaiinex]

5 people have sticks up there butts and have never been in love

[MMtrademark]

i like this song, obviously, or i wouldn't be listening to it. but she's a replica of lisa loeb. lol, before i even saw her i knew she would have lisa loeb glasses and look quirky. that's ok, she's unoriginal but its still a good song and she has a nice voice.

[yousefi95]

5 people didnt get rogaine when they started to lose ther hair!

[orsetto81utube]

love the song, but question her judgment. Clowns? Most people are afraid of clowns, and judging by her look she is one of those losers who thinks that she is raging against the machine, when in reality she is a played out hipster wanna be. so sad. so glad that not only is she a 'one hit wonder' but her "hit" was from an old navy com.

[macaroniART31]

@orsetto81utube um that's the point... most people hate clowns so it's ironic that she, as the only normal one, is labled the 'freak.' The video is supposed to be ironic and whimsical. She's not a one-hit wonder; she has man good songs across multiple albums, just because you may not be aware of them doesn't mean much.

[butterflyaway692]

@macaroniART31 i was about to start responding to that orsetto81 person and i saw your comment and it basically just summed up everything i was gonna say lol

[andiee01]

Creepy Clowns! Lovely Song. It feels good to be inlove! :)

[virginialikesyou]

LOVE this song. (hate the video!!!!)

[JeSuisMonAmiPourTu]

playing this for Slim Shady too.... xox... lately i've been having dream after dream about Marshall Mathers... warm mushy romantic sensually pleasing dreams... whoah... i like it.... so when's he coming to Vancouver ???!!!!!

[MellBuzzy]

This song reminds me of my husband and I. For all you romantics out there, true love does exist. Fours years later and we still play like children :S

[MrPrettyfairy]

the person seems to me as my teacher I had 5years ago his looks are same I had a crush on my teacher at that time

[silverdust95]

This video's so beautiful ^^ i love when the kids open their eyes and start smiling :)

[lalaleyva123]

id buy you rogane when you start losing all your hair <333

[Blondame]

ok, L.O.V.E. the song, but the clowns are a bit much. I minimize the window. Enough with the artsy fartsy videos...it doesn't work with this song...I like the one with the dog getting a bath to this song better...:)

[rajbirthaper]

this song is so relaxing

[shanny11111111]

@rajbirthaper Without the clowns :)

[jack11148]

This video made me afraid of clowns...

Not really but it would almost make me scared of 'em though -_-'

[UltimatePwnerD]

Ahh this song brings back so many memories it makes me wanna cry. I miss when I was in Grade school especially when this came out (2006). Middle school is weird.

[chiquitahbaby]

@UltimatePwnerD how so?

[siddharthbatra]

5 people don't like the way they are

[XxXBynumUnitXxX]

the first time i heard this song was a couple years ago on an old navy commercial

[JeweliaRae]

@YuVaughn , well google it, just because she's with a guy in the video, doesn't mean she's not a lesbian. why would she lend her sweater to a guy? and I didn't say anything about the bathroom, lol.

[VarXMCcool1]

its just a amazing song

[DMSingh1971]

This song makes me happy. I love it.

[ahc688]

why is this video so dark, i imagined her laying down singing in a garden or something? lol

[Habulover]

My aunt danced using this song with her husband for their first dance at her wedding :)

[cutiekiska]

I just remember this song from JCPenny Sweater collection commercial.

[TheMissmusiclover19]

i hate poeople that dislike things if you dont like this vid why watch it your just wasting your time

[Vasquez0585]

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it..... and then all over again when I fell in love with the man of my life Steven. He loves me for who I am. For ever yours Steven, Irene...

[firefly379]

@Vasquez0585 damn. I'm in love with a steven... too bad he doesnt know I exist

[woohoo5790]

clowns are cool. lol

[JeweliaRae]

I love how everyone misses that she's a lesbian. No one noticed "here take my sweater". No one even asks, and they assume she's talking about a guy(:

[july71965]

@JeweliaRae LOL, how does "here take my sweater"=lesbian?

[YuVaughn]

@JeweliaRae "If your chilly, here take my sweater"( how is that a lesbian phrase?) just cause she is in the bathroom when she sings the lyric doesn't mean that she is saying it to the girls... she is with the guy in the video... she was hiding in the bathroom cause she was not a clown like everyone else... outcasts tend to stay in the bathroom a lot... also...she is going to buy Rogaine for a balding woman? :) 

[zzistotallylovinit]

5 chicks are jelouse that ther boyfriends don't love them like that

[jaspersgurl29]

I love the song but I HATE THOSE KIDS! THEY LOOK SO CREEPY

[mabbyme]

THE LITTLE GIRL CLOWNS ARE SCARY.

[bendy3d]

The fact that everyone freaks out about the clowns really *REALLY* emphasizes the point of this song.

[singsisters1112]

I love this song!!!! Its adorable!!!!

[TheCrazyCookie7]

Suc ha cute older song! love it =]

[WebkinzLoversKKK]

Stupid ugly clowns!!!

[monsterlover321]

omg why did she make the video like this ??/ clowns ??? that's fucking scary !!!

[SofiaRules123]

scary and weird video but awesome

[taratumble23]

terrible music video, awesome song. ;)

[Sheerawesome1]

what the heck this song is so beautifull but freekin clowns ???

[KewlHandLuke74]

@Sheerawesome1 That's the whole point. Nothing is beautiful. They are a metaphor for normal society, they are clowns who think they're beautiful, yet she being different is the freak to them and made to feel like a freak to herself. 

[calituchi1]

@KewlHandLuke74 aaaah!!! Thanks I get it now :D

[born2sang05]

i love this song :)

[tracymarie123]

Art is always up for criticism. Inspiring art captures a particular audience in a deep and meaningful way. I think this video captures the soul of a person that feels out of place and kinda scary. Like a clown. It's like the song is saying, I can see beyond your "scary" appearance - I can accept you, even though you seem weird and scary. If I can accept that, will you please accept the things I say and do without intimidation and fear?

[AyanaLee23]

yeah that will be the day

[MegaChillgirl]

love this. :)

[Philoishness]

I'd actually love to have someone who loves me the way I am, because obviously I don't. would be nic, though, to be taken as the nerdish freak I am..still I'm only 15, maybe I'll get lucky someday.

[bruceliem]

I dont know what it is about this song but it makes me really happy. It's a song that all couples should listen to. Kinda funny she talked about rogain. Some ppl don't realize what they have until they lose that person. Appearance is only temporarily. Love is forever.

[shawty5641]

<3 this songg(:

[brownsugar3354]

"cause i love you more then i could ever promise" sweetest line...

[Reala13]

so they are clowns, I get them and mimes mixed up all the time.

[mskatldhq]

awesome awesome song!!!!!

[forfibestie97]

good song...wish it were longer

[cheergirl0031]

she is really pretty...love her voice n this song

[TheHellokittygurl]

:'( that little boy is very scary...

[ITSmylinh]

hahahha the lil boys sooo cute (=

[imfreakingfreezing]

super cute video.. very artsy. I love the whole clown prom thing. the guy clown is a cutie... im sure he's very attractive under all that face paint.

[ANTISLANG]

shut up haters

[chillmeg101]

i think im [NOW] scared of clowns.

[BreakingSorrow]

@chillmeg101 you and me both :(

[Samariaeyes7]

I like the video...so surreal and sweet

[Mariechen1881]

i love this song!:)

[pezgirl31]

ah, it's short, but I love it. Too say any more would be redundant, to say any less would be sad...

[69sweetbunny]

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.

And you take me the way I am.

I LOVE U my Bear

[khofasheshab]

aww i really likee thisss :)

[greynezz]

cutest mv ever :* the clowns are so cute. especially the kids.

[Lilcutegrl93]

lol this video may be disturbing because ot the clowns, but there's a deeper meaning behind it...

I like the video, it's so cute when the little clown smiles at the end lol.

[pinkpartycat]

haha every time i watch it i realize more things! i cant stop commenting! 1:58 what are those things in the background. and yeah the clown guy is so sweet! i love him! 2:07 - 20:11 that was cute of him (: i love this video i tear up at it. tugs on the heartstrings.

[pinkpartycat]

@pinkpartycat hahaha fail time 2:11

[pinkpartycat]

haha such a short song but the video actually has a nice hidden meaning even though it freaks me. haha. i dream about this video - -x i wish it was longer though ):

[pinkpartycat]

ever since american idol i cant stop listening to this song. i love it! but the video really freaks me out. XD

[omgitshannah16]

lol i get it!!! the clowns are all the normal people in that world, and since she isnt a clown she thinks she is a freak?, and so shes not "perfect" for him so shes sad?? i think

[MARyBAYBEE95]

Wrddd man Saww hahah

[awakenbeing]

god damn fucking clowns! this video is disturbing.

[Johnelly]

ella es bella :D

[mellowillow]

yeah this song is sweet....so short tho :(

[JupitersEuropa]

ok i like this song, but what the frick do clowns have to do with it?

[katmonroe15]

everyone is a clown except her. so there for he takes her the way she is.

[XmissXalyssX]

im scared of clowns but i like this song a bit.

[brooklynhottii]

@XmissXalyssX me 2 i am terrified of clowns n even though the clowns and the lil mime children creep me out i like the vid n luv this song

[irobikolovic]

I love the new audio quality feature on mp4ify. Dope site 2 rip mp3s or mp4s from youtube.

[lemay77]

i love this song it need to be longer

[cfretz1975]

Agreed

[sarahisthebomb123]

@swollencranium lmfaoo i totaallyy agree!

[awakenbeing]

@SwollenCranium ROFL! can't believe i missed that. GJ bro.

[ANTISLANG]

@SwollenCranium ok ilove this song !!!!!!!!!!dont you know wat this song is about? hmmm hmmm hmmmm wut wut wut do you

[oyuky36]

lmao

[mannytakenbyspinner]

@SwollenCranium lmao !!!!!!

[pasbc]

@SwollenCranium hahahaha I LOVE this song and would normaly disagree with comments like yours but that is truly the best commentever :)

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@pasbc WTF?

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@SwollenCranium She's saying in a sense that he already takes her the way she is you and your 62 other dumasses yes dumasses not dumbasses you dont deserve that term

[SwollenCranium]

@IzzytheApocalypse

Aww.... you're mad.

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@SwollenCranium LMFAO me ...give ...you thats satisfaction pffft plzzzz...yea and your crainium is swollen with water not a brain .Know the difference between annoyed and mad ...awww...you stupid

[SwollenCranium]

@IzzytheApocalypse

Aww, poor fella.

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@SwollenCranium Pathetic

[12KAYTAYAHH]

@IzzytheApocalypse AGREED!

[kisskissluv9]

i hate how its so short though :(

[dvo1919]

@kisskissluv9 This song sounds so early-60s-girlgroup with the clapping and backup. Maybe the shortness is just a callback to those hits by groups like the Chiffons that are under 2 minutes. Hell, in the Shangri-Las songs a girl falls in love, runs away, and usually someone dies all in under 2:30.

Little masterpieces. And always leave them wanting more anyway! :)

[CrystalWTHS]

@kisskissluv9 i thought the same thing!, i wish it was longer. its so cute!

[IzzytheApocalypse]

@kisskissluv9 Me too Thats what makes me hate it a little .

[sumpfkarotte]

tollztäää ♥

[christiescupcake]

I love this song, and I thought my 13 month old nephew Mikey would too...so I looked it up. Little did I know that the video was freaking scary! lol he actually got scared and started wimpering so I turned it off.

AMAZING song though. and now, I will watch the whole video for the first time, by myself, and most likely LOVE IT!

[mimisezlol]

So he's afraid of clowns? Cause this would be bad for those who do.

I love this song. The story the video tells is beautiful, too.

[PandacatSarah]

ii.l0veeee.thiis.s0nq *_*

[unusuallyunusual4]

This reminds me of me so much lol. My song to the perfect guy. Well the guy for me anyway. There is no true perfect man, there's just people perfect for you - your puzzle piece :)

[TaylorLautnerlova101]

love it!!! i hate clowns tho but still love it lol

[dipsaucerose]

aww i love the clown guy, he is so sweet

[96msprincess]
