"Vocal comparisons" is one of those contradictory behaviours in this fandom; like they yearn for (yet another) deep pitched vocal but complain if it sounds a bit like MEIKO or Luka, or on the odd occasion some other deep toned Vocaloid.

Vocal comparisons can be good things if it's comparing the good qualities of the two vocals, it's a shame however that these are used to shame the new Vocaloids. I mind Xey commenting on the Kokone thread on VO about how she sounds like Yukari and Galaco (And one other Vocaloid I cannae mind) which was used to compliment Kokone which is what one would hope you'd see more of.

I think the problem people have with similar vocals is the idea that "Why would anyone buy X if they sound like Y, you'd be better off buying Y". Which of course implies that X is the exact same product as Y which is where that reasoning is flawed.

But this behaviour of course, is to be expected as annoying as it is. :\
