Also, yeah, I get the uniqueness thing, and there's nothing wrong with a Vocaloid being generic as long as it does it's job and is HQ (I mean, look at Una and Kokone). I just find it slightly strange to compare the insane variety and ammount of the JP loids, uncluding 9-year-olds and 60-year-old women, rock vocals, pop vocals, jazz vocals, a whole bunch of voice actors, boys sounding like girls, girls sounding like boys, a samurai who is one of the few VBs who can reach as low as he can, murderous lolis, famous singers, teachers with personality disorder, nekogirls, bunnygirls from the moon, robots, fairies, boy-band members, children's show characters, freaking falsetto-ing swords and growling fans, maid lolis ect. to 15 mid-ranged VBs, no matter how different they may sound from eachother. Not hating any engloid obviously, I like them all and there are some on my faves list too, like AVANNA and Ruby, I'm just saying we need to get more Engloids out there (bless Vocamerica, the companies are seeing the response and might start working on new western 'loids because of that). As for the comparison, well, in due respects, when Vocaloids in Engish reach the same number, we'll likely have just as much varity. Lets put it this way, we have no true Japanese beastfolk nor elves... Nor franekstein monsters... But the Japanese don't have angels yet like the Chinese do. I find this whole situation laughable. In the end it doesn't matter. Even then, until I get a Big Al in Japanese... Hehee... (Big Al is the second favourite vocaloid of mine, so naff it, its going to be a big thing for me lol).

A lot of people don't actually know they want something until they get it. Others when they get want they want don't like it.

So I tend to think the companies have a little bit more of an idea what will make a good vocaloid then the fans do. Like their constant asking for a screamo... Oh yeah... Lets get a singer style which basically has the most chance to clip the voice limits of an audio and least amount of tones at times and make a vocal out it... Not to mention not all screamo vocalists are clear. Not to mention is a minor taste even among rock and metal fans... I'd want a Lorde vocalist because I see a vocal like that as more useful then "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" from some of the particularly higher octaved screamos.

Last time I asked why someone wanted a screamo, it was "so it exist" as an answer... Which I don't like. Come on. Justify your logic a bit more then that.

In RL though... I love heavy metal and rock...Screamo just isn't my tastes most of the time.
