Actually I disagree with the singer being a bad move, as many of the Vocaloids so far have been the same situation, this is not an issue.

I don't see the issue of a non-native producing English being a problem either as its more of a solution. Many times during V2's era did I see believe opening think that a Japanese vocal doing "english" was "better then Luka and the Engloids" when the results were they were LQ. So I'd rather have a english vocal to prove a point, if anything, then for the LQ English continue to be throw out with people whose ears need cleaning not to notice whenever a Vocaloid can't say some simple English words clearly.

I had an argument on VO over English versus Appends. Some folks see no point in expanding into other langauges and prefer Appends. I tend not to see the point of Appends because the change per voicebank isn't always that great, and I buy vocaloids for a certain job. If it doesn't do that job, I'd rather have another Vocaloid. Aside from a little bit of realism in the sense now they can change tone like Humans can, Appends add nothing a new Vocaloid with a new vocalist couldn't do. Reason? They were hired to do that job specifically and the results are more natural since this is their speciality. In shot, I wouldn't use a knife for a task a fork could do better. Whereas expanding into new langauges brings in new producers, makes a Vocaloid mroe famous abroad and in turn allows you to expand into other markets. Especially as some languages like English are more common then others and have more potential customers. Theres about 5x as any English speakers in the world as Japanese, or something like that.

Furthermore, despite the faults of each Japanese -> English vocal, they've not been overall THAT bad and most of the problem is centred around non-natives with no or little experience of making English vocals making English vocals. Over time, this can change dramatically, as voclaoid itself is a symbol of that. Compare Miku in the V2 period to latter V2 vocals, you'll see even within 1 era of the engine improvements occured. :-/

I too wish the vocals were more diverse, but companies sometimes seem too afriad to try new things. Hence why were getting much the same in terms fo vocal types, being females either trying to be the next Miku or females of the medium range like Meiko because of how common  it is. I'd like a true young vocal besides Oliver because most stick to Len and he isn't a true representative of a male vocal that is 14.
