At a press conference in Almaty on 25 December 2013, Rin'go and producer Alua Konorova expressed their dissatisfaction with the voting mechanism, criticising the lack of SMS voting and the use of juries from outside the world of showbusiness, and with the "poor" quality of the technical equipment.[9] Kazakhstan had considered appealing the results, but ultimately did not do so.[10]
