To be fair... We've never been told how realistic/unrealistic the vocal is. Even with a professional behind a vocaloid, is not a certain the vocal will sound like its provider or won't have a degree of voice acting. A lot of the Vocaloids are either have their samples.

When it boils down to it... I can't say Cyber Diva counts as "realistic" since her VA was told to sing in a certain why to imitate someone else. I can also remember that in V2, how Gackpo didn't always sound too uch like his provider... Or how nobody really took notice of close in match miki was to hers and only focused on Gumi's.

And even then... Miku still got popular despite being VAed. Its not such a big deal, considering its more common for the Vocaloid not to sound like their VA then for them to do at this stage.

Reminds me... Anyone heard the Kagamine's VA speaking? I noticed how aside from pitch, you really can't tell the pair apart when she acts as "them". Len is in her deeper range, Rin in her higher... But she isn't that broad with her vocal range, this is why I've believed for a few yers now that the Kagamine's biggest issue was how their VA had to separate Len from Rin, limiting the Kagamine vocal overall and what exactly they can do with the vocals. It makes me wonder if the Kagamine English vocals are actually closer to her natural voice then the Japanese ones.... I say that knowing CFM process their vocals.

I must admit, I'd love to hear Cul's VA do the voice of Cul myself as a comparison. :-/
