As I noted elsewhere, that the issue with using professionals is that the music industry prefers certain vocal types. Vocals like Meiko, Gumi, Lily, Mew, etc, etc, are pretty much common. Thus, its very easy to find vocals like them. True professional singers, like Gackt, have had a lot more experience and vocal training. It gives the professional vocalists HQ vocals, but irons out so many flaws that they can risk not standing out.

This is where voice acted vocals can often get a big advantage over them.

Bare in mind that many teen pop idols aren't necessary great singers and their just there to exist for a moment, so while they stand out, they lack the experience and can often disappear into obscurity in 2 years time after their debut. So "professional" in itself can have its standards, but internet co seems to favour those that have managed to last more then this short spark.
