In addition to her music career, Fantasia has also ventured into other pursuits such as publishing, acting, and Broadway. In her memoir "Life is Not a Fairy Tale", she reveals intimate details about herself, including her functional illiteracy. The book was later adapted into a Lifetime movie of the same name in 2006. Directed by famed actress and choreographer Debbie Allen, it received 19 million viewers, making it Lifetime's second-most viewed program of all time.
During 2007, Fantasia was on Broadway performing as Celie in The Color Purple, the hit musical based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker. Her performance had earned rave reviews and helped boost ticket sales as well as her album sales. After her Broadway stint ended in January 2008, Fantasia was back on the road again touring and is said to be preparing for her next studio album.
2. Fantasia is also the first name from the French symphonic metalband Fairyland. They called themselves 'Fantasia' when they made demos like 'Cruel Death' and 'The King'. But when they came with their debute album, they changed their name in Fairyland.
3. Fantasia is a progressive rock band from Pietarsaari, Finland. Originally named St. Marcus Blues Band (founded in 1967), the bassist Markku Lönngren came up with the new name from Amazing Blondel's album called "Fantasia Lindum" and thus changed the name to "Fantasia" in 1973.
The band defined their sound somewhere between progressive rock and hard rock although the sound mainly resembles to those of the other 1970's prog rock bands, such as Finnish compatriots Wigwam and Tabula Rasa. Fantasia released only one self-titled album in 1975 with only 2000 copies sold (which made it a almost a "rarity" amongst the prog rock collectors), but has been reissued on CD by Rocket-Records in 2010.
Line-up: Hannu Lindblom (guitars & vocals), Harri Piha (bass), Karl-Erik Rönngård (drums) and Roul Helantie (organs & piano).

When I See U
Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I put your picture on my mirror
Start to blush when somebody says your name
In my stomach there's a pain
See you walk in my direction I go the other way
I start to stutter when I speak
Try to stand but my knees go weak
What's happenin' to me?
In the dark, can you tell me what it means?
I lay my head on my pillow
Got me starin' out the window
Wish on a star for a sign
It's the reason why
You're always on my mind (oh yeah)
When you come around, I'm shy (baby, when I see you)
When I see you, when I see you (baby, when I)
Never know when you might walk by (walk by)
So I gotta be right on time
When I see you, when I see you (baby, when I, ooh yeah)
I scribble X and O's in my notebook
Checkin' how my hair and nails look
I feel my self in the zone
I get nervous when you call
So I say I'm not home
I see your face when I hear my favorite song
Should I send an email at home?
You're the number one topic on the phone
I wonder if you know, or do you have a clue? (yeah, yeah)
I lay my head on my pillow
You got me starin' out the window
Wish on a star for a sign
What's the reason why? (yeah, yeah)
You're always on my mind (you're always, hey)
When you come around, I get shy (hey, sexy boy)
When I see you, when I see you (you're sexy, boy, hey baby)
Never know when you might walk by (I don't never know)
So I gotta be right on time (baby when I)
When I see you, when I see you (when I, when I, when I, when I)
Somethin' now is takin' over me, uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm not goin' to run, I'm just gonna stand here and see
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh yeah
You're always on my mind (hey, baby)
When you come around, I get shy (hey when I see you)
When I see you, when I see you (you're so sexy, boy, you're so sexy, boy)
Never know when you might walk by (I don't ever)
So I gotta be right on time (but I get nervous)
When I see you, when I see you (around you, I love it, around you boy)
You're always on my mind (you're always)
When you come around, I get shy (hey)
When I see you (you, you, you), when I see you (I love it, I love it)
Never know when you might walk by (yes, I love it, baby)
So I gotta be right on time (but I don't know)
When I see you (for some reason), when I see you (I can't, I can't be around)
(Hey, hey)
(I can't)
(Only when I see you)
The song "When I See U" by Fantasia is a sweet love ballad that describes the feeling of falling for someone and being nervous around them. The first verse begins with the singer admitting to having the love interest's picture on her mirror and blushing at the mention of his name. However, when she sees him walking in her direction, she goes in the opposite direction, indicating her shyness around him. The chorus emphasizes how the person always stays on the singer's mind, how she gets shy around him and always needs to be right on time around him. The second verse mentions how the singer checks her hair and nails before being around the person and how hearing her favorite song reminds her of him. The pre-chorus then leads into the second chorus where the singer is apparently so taken by the person that they admit to feeling something new that's taking over them.
Through the song, Fantasia paints a picture of someone deeply in love and scared to let the other person know how they feel. However, she wants to be around him and makes sure that she doesn't miss the opportunity to do so. The chorus of the song is particularly catchy and emphasizes the nervousness and shyness of being in love with someone. The use of X's and O's in the bridge of the song is a clever reference to affection and love, providing an additional layer of romanticism to the lyrics.
