Gah, you made this too hard... I like the VBs ONLY IF they're decent. Kaito's V3 English isn't too bad but I can't stand Miku's V3 English. It's not that I'm completely anti-Miku (although I'm anti-Miku-spaz because she's just as good as about any other Vocaloid around her release) but her Engrish bugs me too much. Kaito's Rs and Ls are just rough while Miku is speaking like Japan from Hetalia... My answer is yes, if the voice providers have somewhat of a grasp on the English language and the creators of the VB know what the heck they're doing. They don't have to be fluent but they should at least be able to say a sentence like "Hello, how are you?" or "The dog chased the cat." in understandable English. They don't need to neccessarily need to know what it means, but they need to be able to somewhat pronounce English if you hand them a sheet of paper written in English or say a word and have them repeat it correctly 90% of the time. Luka's V2 english isn't something I care for but that's because they had Japanese people creating an English voice bank for the first time with a Japanese singer's voice. Luka's voice provider speaks English decently, it's the people who created the voicebank and the engine at the time.
