There are differences, as this was proved with SeeU's i=Fantasy demo. SeeU sounds awfully realistic... Until you filter things out and find there is a real VA singing there.

Something similar was accused with Avanna, but only the nonsensical lyrics were not her and they were part of the soundtrack (the "do-da-day" bits). So inclusion of them was unavoidable.

As well as the engine print, the big difference is change of tone. A human an express an instant change of tone, while a Vocaloid stays monotoned no matter what, whih limits its expression. This is why any hint of epression, like with Yukari, is often noted by producers. Even then... Yukari cannot express like a human can.

Yo can hear the differences here, there is no autotune on this singer for this song, a Vocaloid could not easily recreate this entire song *exactly* as the singer has done. Least not yet.
