Generall most vocals fall in the middle of two basic categories; professional (who are realisitc and sound more like proper singers) and characteristic (who maintain the same tone and therefore not realisitc singers).

The realisitc ones are the better singers (meaning they produce the better results), the characteristics are the better Vocaloids (they tend to have more flexiablity snce they have more leyway with their vocals).

Not to say either can't be tweaked to be more towars the other. There are other diferences, like Miku sounds like those pop singers who produce songs that are more them speaking to a beat then actually... You know... Singing. I can't really put it anyway better, but sometimes you hear a song where the singer just sounds like their talking through the song (and I'm not just referring to rap), it happens a lot nowadays thanks to the use of auto-tuning software. Since the person can just speak their lines and the sftware can make them "sing", the trouble is no matter what the tone sounds out of place when you listen to it because it lacks expressive tone change or something.

Its not to say you can't make Vocaloids lean to the other side, since some producers have made Miku sound realistic.

Theres also other obbals things like professionals tend to hold their long notes better... But their all minor issues and the trouble with Vocaloid is nothing is 1000% certain to fall perfectly in line with what you expect.

Tone's another Miku... Mew's another Lily.

In the Engloids, I can say for sure that Big Al suffers from the "not really singing" sound efect, in comparison to Tonio who is a realistic opera singer.
