Yeah, I didn't mean they aren't real. I meant they don't matter, compared to real people. VOCALOIDs don't have feelings, they didn't contribute hard work and talent. Their voice providers, software creators/users, and others involved did. But the VOCALOID's persona gets all the glory. I bet despite Miku's wild popularity, less than 10% of her fans probably know who her voice provider is... nobody I know does. Anyways, I think you took my meaning a little too literally, lol, but in your defense I did phrase it sort of weird.

And yeah, it really bugs me when people refuse to recognize VOCALOID songs as songs. I don't recognize VOCALOIDS as real singers, of course, but as you said there were people involved who put in a lot of hard work.
