For ZOLA, I think the fandom is basing their popularity off of their designs. I am not really a fan of their illustrations, but the voices are nice, and that's what really matters.

And Nana....

Well, I think people are thinking her voice is gonna be rediculously high pitched based on her design, and the fact that she doesn't have THAT many demos to listen to/watch. Although, the vocaloidstore YT uplodaded one recently, and it sounds absolutely amazing. I would say she's about Miku level of pitch.

Merli....

I think her voice is absolutely amazing. I have to say I like the low pitch ones better. That doesn't mean I'm gonna go and hate on the other vocals. I just favor the lower ones more.

Some of the English ones are somewhat lackluster, but that's because their voice providers aren't native in the English language, so we can't expect them to be GLaDOS, but they are still nice nonetheless.

For the V1 Engloids...

I would love to see them updated, but I do agree that they would be held to very high expectations. Now, we've seen good Engloids, but they generally aren't easy to make or tune, so we can't hold them to the same expectations as some of the other VOCALOIDs.

But yes, If the companies give them what they want, they'll complain, and if they don't get what they want, they'll complain. I think the companies should just make the vocals that they want to make and the fandom will just have to get used to it. I'm not saying input is a bad thing, but the companies shouldn't be able to be swayed on the vocals due to what the fandom says. Because the fandom is fickle. Always.
