English - Japanese page, its not Japanese Vocaloids can't sound good its that its hit and miss if you can even understand them as their missing an aweful lot of sounds. About only 40% of English can be recreate which is enough to be understood since the basic sounds of most languages can be created with that amount. What they lack is the full phonetic sounds, a large chunk of diaphonetic sounds and the majority if not all of the triphonetic sounds. So English for any Japanese Vocaloid while can be at times understood, is far inferior to the English Voicebanks. You cannot get HQ English from them. The more you listen the more you notice a lot of the stuff is quite off. For example, B/V/P and R/L or PH/F sounds can all end up having to come from one or two sounds alone in Japanese, particularly the "l/r" sounds. ITs why "Row your boat" is sometimes a difficult sound just for a native speaker to say because "Merrily" can be a cruel word to get sounded out correctly.

So any English voicebank that sings the same song Flower does, as Flower is not an English voicebank, will outclass her by far. Its an issue with Appetite of a People-Pleaser, because the vocal range Flower uses and the English she produces in that song could have been easily done better by most of the V4 English range, if not the pre-V4 range, even if you had to change the octave of the song.
