This Is the Way That I Feel

This Is the Way That I Feel is the name of the fourth solo studio album released by American country music singer, Marie Osmond. This was Osmond's first album under the Polydor/Kolob label, following her departure from MGM Records. It was released in April 1977 and would be her last solo studio album for eight years.

This Is the Way That I Feel was a departure for Osmond as it took a more Pop-sounding direction than any of her previous albums. The album produced two singles, only the title track charted, peaking within the Top 40, at #39, on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1977; that song was written by George Jackson, who had previously penned the breakthrough hit "One Bad Apple" for Osmond's brothers. The other single from the album, "Please Tell Him That I Said Hello," failed to chart.

The album reached a peak of #152 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album was produced by Rick Hall, who had also previously produced for her brothers in the early 1970s. It was reviewed by Allmusic and was given 3 out of 5 stars.
