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

Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star and
Tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
And the magic that surrounds you
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize you
See I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally I believe
When you look out in a distance
You'll see it never was that far, oh no
Heaven knows your existence
And wants you to be everything you are, oh
Time for every soul to fly
It's in the eyes of every child
It's the hope, the love that saves the world
And ohhh, we should never let it go
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
You see I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally, yea-yeah
I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
You see I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
'Cause anything is possible
When you believe (I can see it in the stars up in the sky), yeah
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
You see, I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally I believe
Ohh yea-yeah
Love keeps lifting me higher (I believe it's love)
Love keeps lifting me higher (higher, higher, higher)
