If you ask me, Miku's popularity was both a blessing and a curse. What with her being the reason for this fandom, she also set a dangerous precedent due to the fact that any Vocaloid who was in no way cutesy or anime-esque would almost certainly do poorly. I also think that Miku's cutesy (albeit, grating) voice meant that many mature vocals were often shunned by the Vocaloid community. Luckily, IA seems to be breaking this trend, what with her mature vocals and relatively anti-moe design being by far the most popular of the Vocaloid 3 vocals so far.
