Felicia almost missed the Eurovision final in Vienna

The result of Saturday night's Eurovision final in Vienna was a major disappointment for Sweden. Now figures show that Felicia was extremely close to not making the final.

Ten entries advanced from each semi-final and the Swedish entry came in ninth place. "My System" was only 17 points ahead of Estonia, which ended up just outside the top ten, writes Aftonbladet.

Felicia received a total of 96 points in her semi-final on Tuesday, 79 points from the jury and 17 from the viewers. This compares with Israel, which received a total of 269 points.

Felicia climbed the odds charts immediately after her performance in the final and looked set to make the top ten, but ended up finishing in a modest twentieth place. For Sweden, it is the worst result in 16 years at Eurovision.
