(Ya I'm the anon on the 1st reply there, being shy about giving opinion)

Raw feelings are not something Vocaloids (and most UTAUs) able to give out, not for now. Moreover, choosing which Vocaloid that fit for the song is quite important. It's not like every Vocaloid can sing every genre of music (You don't make a opera Vocaloid sing a Pop song there). Pitching issues are another matter: Using a high-pitched vocal for a low-pitched songs don't usually produce good results.

There's problem about phonetics too. I have seen quite many covers that utilizing Vocaloids whose phonetics aren't support. This results in weird spelling mistakes :/

The tuning skill plays the essential part: Whether the cover is good, decent, or turns out really awkward is attributed to the producer.

Take Boulevard of Broken Dreams cover for example. You can see all the issues listed above :/

Regarding people who disagree with us, they are having way too high opinion of Vocaloids there. Most likely the cases of being biased. Fans opinions sometimes pretty much get on my nerves.

You haven't seen the worse yet. There are people using Vocaloids to cover Vietnamese songs (Yeah I'm Vietnamese). Many of those are solid ones, though there's still the issues; but fans attitudes are the one to note. I understand that most Vocaloid fans are teenagers and all (I am one of them too), but sometimes the attitudes are straight out childish, sometimes they aren't acceptable at all. Many of them started insulting the original singer with rude words (and broken grammars/basic spelling mistakes). E.g:
 * You should have done this cover with vocaloid abcxyz.
 * Vocaloid abcxyz is so handsome! (??)
 * There's no way (insert original singer's name) can sing as good as vocaloid abcxyz! The original singer should better off retire for good!

Sorry for being off topic there, but fans attitude reflect the majority idea towards Vocaloids. In this case, biased. It's pretty sad you know.
