IA's probably the best example. She's still one of the best vocals out there even a generation later. Her vocal's so clear and carefully made; I wish more companies would try to model banks after her's. Clearly there's a demand for smooth, clear vocals.

Not breathy soft vocals or "power" vocals that aren't reliable, haha To be fair, since V2 all Vocaloids have gotten both softer and clearer overall. The extra triphones over time have smoothed sounds causing things not to be so solid. Improvements on technology have made things clearer, and the majority of modern vocals are large ranges or have multiple layers.
