Felicia and "My System" moved up the odds lists immediately after their flawless performance in the Eurovision final and looked like they could finish in the top ten.

Worst since 2010

But shortly afterwards, Sweden received poor scores from the jury groups and not much better from viewers. The final score of 51 is Sweden's worst result since Anna Bergendahl failed to advance from the semi-finals in 2010.

However, there is nothing Felicia feels she could have done better.

"No, I did my best and I can't do more than that. Of course I wanted the performance to be even better, but it was simply impossible," she says.

How has the whole Eurovision experience been for you?

A strange mix. There has been too much to do but at the same time not enough at all. It feels like I've been in Vienna for three months and like we arrived yesterday. But you only get an experience like this once in a lifetime, so it's been great fun.

Felicia has said in interviews that she is a real winner and a bad loser.

But not in this case. I'm not angry that I didn't win. It's not fun to finish twentieth, I can say, but I would have felt the same if I'd come third.

Too much schnitzel

The plans going forward are to rest after two exhausting weeks. In the semi-final, rhinestones on her glasses fell and obscured her vision, then she had voice problems and was banned from speaking, and she fainted after a rehearsal on Friday.

To top it all off, she also ended up far down in the second half of the results list in the final itself. But Felicia doesn't plan on letting a nasty loss affect her mood.

Trust me, I'm not going to go crazy and die over this. I'm going to do a summer tour, release music, and get out of this bubble I've been in.

Do you regret anything?

I may regret eating one or two schnitzels too many. Now I'm a bit tired of them. But nothing else!
