According to sources, Felicia is the favorite in the Melodifestivalen final. Voting problems, sore throats, and acute gout are plaguing the finalists in Melodifestivalen. Felicia, Brandsta City Släckers, Smash Into Pieces, and Lilla Al-Fadji are some who are struggling with health ahead of Saturday.
The big favorite Felicia has been hit by a sore throat and what appears to be a common cold. During rehearsals on Thursday, she had to hold back to save her voice. " Several interviews have had to be canceled, but participation in the final – where she is tipped as number one – is not in danger.
Felicia's preparation for the final is disrupted by her feeling unwell. She said, "It feels like something is coming. " With only days left until the final on Saturday, Felicia is sniffly and not completely well.
Felicia added, "I struggle with nasal spray all the time and hope I avoid getting a high fever. " She says this at the artist hotel next to Strawberry Arena in Solna where the final takes place. But there is no danger for the final.
She will participate. Felicia stated, "You just have to go for it. " The exact medical condition causing acute gout in the finalists is unknown.
It is unclear if Felicia's illness will significantly impact her performance in the final. The specific voting problems affecting the finalists have not been detailed.
