Yes, seems like there's the stereotype where Jap > Eng in almost everything (especially the Cryptonloids there). Engloids seems to not get enough appreciation for their effort. It feels like, many fans don't even care about pronunciation and emotion put in the song. :/ I'm not quite sure if this is one thing to blame, but many fans do judge a vocaloid through their appearance. When you like a vocaloid with 'cool appearance', they may also think that vocaloid has really 'cool vocal', and well, biased them over others. This case seems to apply with Jap vs Eng here. It doesn't apply for all, but I do think it has some sort of effect on fans' opinion.

From my point of view, a Vocaloid would do best if they are singing in their native language. Not many Vocaloids can do a good job in supported languages.

Regarding the matter where human vs vocaloid, well, I don't think is fair to compare a human and a machine. I don't think it would be a case if you compare, well, Beyonce or MJ to a vocaloid, as the real singers will outclass vocaloids no matter what.

Thus, it's a bit silly to compare a legendary song such as My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion) to a Vocaloid cover XD. Celine Dion did a magnificent job there with the uplifting chorus. It would take a huge amount of effort and god-like tuning skill to recreate such powerful moment as that.
