Ah Foxy, your quoting a myth. Other choice of vocals used to enter each language overall there isn't much vaint between any of the languages for Vocaloid. Read Bruno's page, someone there recently commented about their troubles with his vocals. :-/

English is still difficult, but there is nothing wrong with the vocals themselves. And what is wrong is up to Yamaha to fix. This can only occur as time developed and english usage goes up, increasing pressure and demand for yamaha to improve the engine. Unlike Japanese, english sounds are not set in stone and depending on where you are raised or learn the language depends on the impact on your language skills for english, even as a native speaker.

The accent issue gets transferred into Vocaloid. If you compare Big Al to Oliver, there are differences how Oliver says sounds... His "r" are soft and Al's vowels are much more firmer then Oliver's. With this much variation, it makes making english vocals harder for any software to recreate, on top of the liquid nature of the sounds.

English Phonetics - Adept-ex is writing a great page to explain all this.

Plus, its likely a beta vocal we're hearing in that demo. Many sounds will be missing, even Miku sounded better at 70% then 40%.
