Fantasia has released five studio albums Free Yourself (2004), Fantasia (2006), Back To Me (2008), Side Effects of You (2013), The Definition of... (2016), and a holiday album, Christmas After Midnight (2017).
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).
4. Fantasia is an expiremental trap metal band founded by Zxphyr
Bad Girl
Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make you so nervous like 5-0's been coming for you
Don't mean to hurt your feelings with the honest things I say
I can't help it but I ain't into playing games
(No, no I ain't into playing games, no)
I'm just a confident, independent, getting in, intelligent woman
And if my confident, independence
Then I'll be the bad girl
The one that you really want
The one that won't settle for nothing
And make you show just what you're made of
Yeah, I'll be the bad girl
The one that you're scared to love
I'll make you face all your fears then wipe all your tears
So toughen up and fall for the bad girl, ooh (ha ha)
I'll be the bad girl, ooh (ha ha)
I'm just being who I am
It's not my fault that somehow I make you feel less of a man (Ooh)
My intention's not to offend
But I see right through ya pride
Yes, that's why I look away when I stare into your eyes (eyes)
Yes I'm sorry, so sorry, so sorry
I'm just a confident independent, getting it, intelligent woman
And if my confident, independence
Go and getting in intelligence scares ya (scares ya)
Then I'll be the bad girl (I'mma be the bad girl)
The one that you really want (that you really want)
The one that won't settle for nothing
And make you show just you're made of
Yeah, I'll be the bad girl (I'mma be the bad girl)
The one that you're scared to love (that you really love)
I'll make you face all your fears then wipe all your tears
So toughen up and fall for the bad girl
The most only enough to lift you up
Oh I let you fall unless you're falling in love
Sooner or later you'll see that having a bad girl is everything you need
Having a bad girl (Ooh)
I'll be the bad girl
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
In Fantasia's song "Bad Girl," the singer addresses a man who seems intimidated by her confidence, independence, and intelligence. She questions what she did to make him so nervous and apologizes if she has offended him in any way, but ultimately declares that she won't be changing who she is. Rather than conform to societal expectations of how a woman should behave, she embraces being the "bad girl" who won't settle for less and challenges the man to face his fears and fall for her.
Fantasia's lyrics demonstrate a clear sense of self-worth and refusal to compromise her identity for a man's comfort. She recognizes that her qualities may intimidate some men, but instead of shrinking herself down to make them feel more comfortable, she embraces her confidence and refuses to play games. Although she acknowledges that her rocky exterior may be scary, she's willing to help the man face his fears and be vulnerable. This song is an anthem of female empowerment and encourages women to be unapologetically themselves, even if it means embracing the "bad girl" label.
