Editorial Review:
Few would accuse Fantasia of a reluctance to abide by the wisdom that what you've got, you should flaunt, and the vocal gusto she slathers over her full-length debut gets partial credit for earning--and keeping--your attention. To a greater extent, though, the high-wattage help heaped over the Idol 3 champ and Patti LaBelle-sound-alike makes the disc dazzle. In addition to pitch-ins from Missy Elliott, who produced and co-wrote three tracks and busts out a two-snaps-up rhyme on "Selfish (I Want U 2 Myself)," Jazze Pha duets on the ultra-mod "Don't Act Right" and Jermaine Dupri wrote and produced the smolderer "Got Me Waiting." Surprisingly, though, it's not those tracks or even the Idol-propelled cover of the Gershwins' "Summertime" that will stick with listeners most. Instead, first single "Truth Is," a sweet, old-school R&B lament directed toward a lost love, and "Baby Mama," a spirited shout-out to hard-working single mothers, snare standout status with their from-the-gut authenticity. Keeping it real is what won Fantasia the hearts of millions on TV, and despite Free Yourself's likable slickness, it convinces that--hot commodity or no--she's not about to forget it. -Tammy La Gorce
Free Yourself Reviews:
Free Yourself 
2009-09-11 - Great cd. There are 2 songs on this cd that really make this cd well worth getting.
Fantasia wins with this one!
2009-02-01 - Great R & B album! Missy Elliot has her hand all in this album. Nice flow from one song to another. Probably her best work. Peace
Fantastic Fantasia
2008-09-28 - A brilliant album by this young singer. She has such an unique voice and her songs are soulful and great to listen/dance to.
Can't wait for her to bring out more music. I followed her on American Idol and was over the moon that she won, it was well deserved, she outsang the rest by miles.
Dreadful 
2008-05-21 - I bought this cd the day it came out because I was a huge Fantasia fan on AI. I gave it away the day after I heard it. The cd didn't come close to her performance on Idol. That Baby Mama song was dreadful. That whole pop/Beyonce-wannabe lyrics just didn't fit her voice or her style. She honestly should have stuck closer to the jass/blues genre. I wish her luck with her Broadway show and subsequent albums and performances, but honestly if this is an indicator than she's definitely off my playlist. I was highly disappointed with this dreadful cd.
good condition
2008-05-11 - the cd was in great condition. and the case looked brand new. very nice.
