I'm pretty sure the West (or just America?) was very receptive of PSY's "Gangnam Style" because he is at least a real person. Vocaloids are not, so most Westerners will indeed be iffy about a computer program singing. But of course, most of those people probably still think Hatsune Miku is just a singing virtual anime character for weaboos to stubbornly admire.
