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).

Bump What Your Friends Say
Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than anything I've ever ever had
[Verse I]
There's not a better situation
That i'd rather be in
Sometimes we go through some shit
But you still my closest friend
And wanna go insane
The love that i have for you
Still remains the same
If I'd a listen to my best friends
Who said that you wasn't my type
Then I would probably be just like them
Still searchin,
Looking for mr. right
If I would listen to my family
Who said you not the right one for me
Then I would probably be down and out
No doubt--lonely.
[Chorus X2]
So you gotta,
You gotta follow your heart when it speaks
So bump what your friends say, yea
Cause they might lead you the wrong way
You know when you're in love
[Verse II]
I'm glad I stayed very patient
Instead of chasing around
I coulda ended up on a dead end
But boy I'm on the right road now
It's not a accident, it's evident
That baby we were meant to be
The last relationship that I ever been in
My friends said it was good for me
If I'da listen to my best friends
They say that you weren't my type
