Sweden Picks Felicia’s ‘My System’ for Eurovision After Melodifestivalen Win

Betting markets place the 25-year-old’s electro track among the frontrunners.

Overview

  • Felicia, 25, won Sweden’s Melodifestivalen with the electro-pop track “My System,” topping 11 finalists to secure a place in Vienna.
  • Her performance leaned on driving electronic production and a laser-led stage show after entering the final as the bookmakers’ favorite.
  • The Swedish selection unfolded over five weekly broadcasts since late January, with viewer votes setting a 12-act final.
  • Vienna hosts the Eurovision final on May 16, with Austria aiming to defend its title via COSMÓ’s viral dance track “Tanzschein.”
  • Odds currently rate Sweden, Finland and Denmark among the leaders, while Germany’s Sarah Engels (“Fire”) sits near the bottom; Israel’s entry remains contentious, with Spain, Ireland, Iceland, the Netherlands and Slovenia boycotting.
