Her cover of unravel, is the best song/cover of her that I found so far. Go watch Kyaami's cover of The Snow White Princess Is, like I still can't get over that.

Ahh anyway this thread at this point is outdated, and I don't see why it's still active. People hated MEIKO because of the Miku x KAITO shippers and saw her as "competition" or something like that, then they developed all these stereotypes for her that weren't as bad in the Japanese fandom but were treated worse over here in the US (like her love for alcohol) which resulted in her being a fun character to pick on, I guess. It didn't help that people decieded to call her a slut cause of her boxart, either. People started her a "drunk slut who couldn't sing" because of low quality of her V1 voicebank.

But at this point, and I will repeat, the extreme hate directed to her is outdated -- and therefore the thread is. If you look at the topics of this thread it says "MEIKO (VOCALOID 1)" because I'd say after her V3 release a lot of the hate for her ended. I haven't seen any more hate for her then the other most popular vocals, actually less the Miku/the Kagamines. In fact, if you read the comments of the ProjectDIVA PV, the response to her is overwhelmingly positive. (Her upcoming figma and she's been doing pretty well in the last month or so. (I was hoping for it to go back ~6 months because of all the calm from GUMI and the Kagamine releases upcoming skewing results, but this is good enough.
