User blog comment:Speedyblue/What’s Your Least Favorite Vocaloid Song?/@comment-9136029-20180827123924

As for myself, it's not a song in particular, it's more groups of songs. I'm not a very good fan of slow-paced songs first, so I try to listen some catchy ones. After, if there are songs that I didn't really like, it's more because of the Vocaloid use that was made.

1) When a vocal is used for a genre of song which doesn't fit them...

One of my notable examples would be the song "LIAR" by Eyeris/Creep-P (which sadly, doesn't exist anymore). The Japanese version with MAYU was just great. But the Tonio's version... That was weird. It just didn't fit him. And when I made more research, I learnt he was made more for opera-like songs. Not for EDM songs. "Aaaah OK better understand why I don't like Tonio's version, because he's not meant for that".

2) When the tuning is not very well performed that it wastes the pleasure of listening to it...

Other type of songs which bug me a bit are English songs but with... Problems of tuning? It's just that it's weird for me to listen. I remember when I tried to listen "Killing Harmony" (Mcki-Robyns-P) with Miku English... I think I was too used to Circus's songs with her that I got... Disappointed. She sounded choppy for me. And not easy to understand. This was too bad because I liked the theme.

3) When the music is great but the background is..."WTF?"

The examples I have here are "ELLIE" and "Elsa-Maria" (both from sele). I love the music, I liked the thing that these were yandere songs and MAYU seemed to be the perfect candidate for these. But when I understood what the lyrics told about... Killing a pregnant woman, really?? It was just "no, I can't, this is beyond my limits". Even the producer wondered if it wasn't a bit too much, it's at this point... Now, when I listen to these, I just remember the whole topic which just gives me bad chills...

Even "Wash my Blood" (Deadball) didn't give me these chills. I just thought the song was "meh, OK I understand why there are so much controversy stuff and all, but personally, I have a more neutral opinion than anything else". After it just depends of our sensibility and our tolerance to topics I think.

So yeah, typically... It's because of misuse problems that I generally less like a Vocaloid song. In addition to musical tastes. It's not really because of popularity (there are some popular songs that I totally ignore ("World is Mine" for example) and others that I really loved to the point I listened for them for months ("ECHO")). Also, the examples I gave above are not "bad songs" in general. At least, I think so...?
