Reminds me of a recent post on VO applauded her "quality" when the reality was the pre-2009 Japanese vocaloids were all mid-quality at best. Her Appends were HQ, yeah, but Miku's original vocal was pretty snubby. She stayed popular as a choice for Producers because of the popularity and despite other better vocaloids being out by late V2, Miku was considered "easy to use" and was by then uber popular. :-/

Her V3 is much, much better...

Some of the hate among vocaloid fans is jealous feelings because THEIR favourite Vocaloid isn't popular. Some because the other vocaloids can get ignored... Even when their better quality then Miku (which as I said, happened in V2). Which leads to the source of the problem, for one reason or another some fans just see her popularity as a threat.

It doesn't matter what good she does or the fact Vocaloid is popular only because of her... The balance is set against many Vocaloids and even other CFM vocaloids something get overshadowed. And bare in mind that ANY CFM has potential to over shadow most of the vocaloid cast, save a few who manage to compete just about.

Also, CFM has become a one-note company focusing on mostly their CVs, Kaito and Meiko... The company hasn't done anything new for years and it will likely cause heart attacks now if they ever get around to CV04. Existing vocals get put ahead because of their money spin... But it IS harder to release a new vocal now then it was 7 years ago... But this one-note approach is pretty much a product of Miku's popularity either way... Only adding more fuel tot eh fire. :-/

My only concern as a Engloid fan is people judging her English version as the "norm" for the entire English vocaloid cast. As someone who doesn't like the voice for reasons (ouch, ears, seriously, her Sonika and a few others DO hurt my hurts because they set off a ringing), aside from one or two songs I can't like Miku as a vocaloid.

But its silly to hate her, as people have said for years, she didn't ask to be popular, its not her fault.
