I'm more familiar with Shirley Bassey's version and I feel Bassey's version requires more voice technique because it has more vocal range. This one sounds rather dated. I assume Gloria was just doing it for the moment. Shirley's is classical and timeless.

But this song was only sung by Gloria, she's not written it, because I AM WHAT I AM was written by Harvey Fierstein for the musical "LA CAGE AUX FOLLES", which it's one of the most knowing gay-musical in the world. A film with the italian Ugo Tognazzi called "il vizietto" and ispired by this musical won a lot of international prizes, as David di Donatello or Golden Globe.
So, SHUT UP!!

As a gay man, anything that gets our songs out there is a good thing, IMABHO. Besides, if straight women get to sing our songs and make them their own, we get to sing THEIR songs and make them OUR own.
Fifty Percent, anyone?
