@Lola - I wouldn't say IA is that obscure .w. She's a fairly popular VOCALOID, even if she doesn't have as many songs as Miku. She's still up there in the top ten list of highly recognized VOCALOIDs.

I think it's fine if you don't like Miku for the way she sounds. In actually, that's how it kind of should be. The design and voice are more legitimate to judge by, rather than things like "personalities" because most of that is fanmade 90% of the time :/  It's also okay if you can't exactly like her because you may have issues listening to high pitched voicebanks. Some people from the wiki have the same problem.

But quite honestly, I understand why people dislike Miku and the other popular VOCALOIDs for overshadowing VOCALOIDs who don't get much attention. But there's nothing that can be done. It's just chance some of the time. :( The only thing that you could do was to help spread awareness of the other VOCALOIDs, whether that would be making songs with them or making more fanart (to help get their avatar recognized) or share music around by other producers.  Help them get their fame that way, rather than just sulk about VOCALOIDs who have too much popularity.  It's meaningless to do that.
