Rowland was a television judge on the eighth season of The X Factor UK (2011), as well as the third season of The X Factor USA (2013). She has continued her television career by hosting Chasing Destiny (2016) and starred as a coach on The Voice Australia (2017–2020).
Throughout her career, Rowland has sold over 40 million records as a solo artist, and a further 60 million records with Destiny's Child. Her work has earned her several awards and nominations, including five Grammy Awards, one Billboard Music Award, and two Soul Train Music Awards. Rowland has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of Destiny's Child, and as a solo artist, she has been honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Essence for her contributions to music. In 2014, Fuse ranked Rowland in their "100 Most Award-Winning Artists" list at number 20.
What A Feeling
Kelly Rowland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That’s usually right when it creeps up on you and
I know in my heart that it’s true
Oh yeah
Boy you got my attention what’s up?
My heart is beating
No one’s got me opened so much
I think I’m dreaming
What a feeling, to let it all go
What a feeling, I’m losing control
What a feeling, feels like I’m on top of the world
What a feeling, what a feeling, to let it all do
I, I used to think I’ll never fall in love
It’s like my favorite star I used to stare at every night
Came down from the sky, oh yeah
Ooh, I loved the way you touch
My heart is beating
Boy, I just can get enough
You got me speechless
Got my hands way up, I surrender to love!
What a feeling, to let it all go,
What a feeling, I’m losing control
What a feeling, feels like I’m on top of the world
What a feeling, what a feeling, to let it all go
What a feeling, I’m loosing control
What a feeling, feels like I’m on top of the world
What a feeling, what a feeling
What a feeling, what a feeling
