I don't really have many unpopular opinions I guess, but if I do have to say something:

My least favorite Chinese VOCALOID is Stardust. I still love all of the Chinese VOCALOIDs, but vocal-wise, my least favorite is definitely Stardust. I like her tone, it's a nice middle-ish voice compared to the other girls, but I have a rough time trying to "understand" her. It's gotten bad to the point that whenever I have a Stardust song to make a page for, I find myself becoming very reluctant to finish it because I take more time trying to match up the lyrics than I would with the likes of the Vsinger cast... and even Xin Hua (who is also different imo because of her accent, but she doesn't usually give me much trouble).

Now the reason why I consider my comment to be unpopular: Not many fans express a dislike or criticism against Stardust, ESPECIALLY in the Chinese fandom. Loads of her fans get really pissed off if anyone dares to say a thing against her. That's basically why her voicebank information on her product page doesn't have that many problems and traits listed: nobody is willing to let anyone say a bad thing against her (even if it's not even horrible hateful comments) and people are afraid to say anything/don't want to deal with dramatic fans. Therefore, I can't get a thing about her from producers and fans who picked up on her flaws. Furthermore, that also contributes to why I have an issue with her vocal: I can't tell WHY I find her more difficult to understand without making assumptions that may or may not be true.
