I won't say that any of Internet's Vocaloids are bad quality, but some are just harder to use, naturally, this happens for all studios. As I said earlier, two studios can produce two Vocaloids, but one will essentially be better then the other. "Better" however, varies.

The overall quality between Vocaloids, as in I guess I'm saying "mean value" doesn't change much per Vocaloid and so when we usually are referring to in comparison to results produced overall by earlier Voclaoids of the same engine.

Overall there are many things that can effect a quality of a Vocaloid, roboticness from unsmooth samples, quality of the samples, Vocaloid engine, vocal type (some vocals are not suitable for the engine), pronounication, Recording proceedures, the recording "Spell" (script), microphone used.

Consider that really and truthfully the quality of every Vocaloid to begin with is overall high. Therefore a bad Voclaoid is still a high quality product. And also, sometimes people don't figure out the correct proceedures for making a particular Voclaoid work. Tonio, for the English Vocaloids, produces the best vocal singing results out of the vocaloid 1 + 2 males, yet still lacks clarity and is difficult to use. Whereas Big Al is a flexiable + easier to use overall but does not produce as good vocal singing results.

I'll give an example. Tonio is overall a higher quality Vocaloid despite having more glitches, but so few that use him can really take advantage of what he offers, Buig Al 9/10 of the time will simply end up producing the most comon good songs.

Cul and Lily are both HQ vocaloids, but they are harder to use then Gakupo and Gumi supposely and due to one or two bugs, get labelled less quality. Take note though, I often fan the troubel with dealing with making notes on Vocaloids for Japanese ones is the fandom itself is led by a handful of permaent opinions that do not change that were establish by a few folks in the western fandom.... Who quite often actually don't know what the average quality of a Voclaoid is to begin with or how to tell little signs of quality. A professional often gives a more realistic opinion.

A person can use the Kagamines who does not speak a word of Japanese, and not realise that that 1 fault they've left in is there. Yet they will often ensure you the song they produce is better then it actually is... And thus, the vicious cycle of naivity and/or ignorance in the western fandom is born. =_=
