Some people are able to pick up pitch differences between two different sounds much more easily than others, especially when one takes the time to undergo ear training to do so. Because of that, when one of these people hears two or more sounds that are supposed to be on the same pitch but aren't anywhere near it, it sounds particularly grating... and can affect a person's overall enjoyment of the music if they have the ear sensitivity to pick up on that right away.

That doesn't mean to say it's not going to affect the popularity of the music. If a lot of people find they love it, flaws and all, then yeah, in it's own way it's doing the job right... but  tuning certainly does affect the quality of the music if there are noticable pitch blending issues.

(.... or, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm probably getting confused on which "tuning" you're refering to. I'm so used to the term being refered to adjusting the pitch instead of overall Vocaloid manipulation...) (>.>)
