That would make a lot more sense. Ahem, well...

Vocaloid is Vocal + Android, the name of Crypton Future Media(And later, more companies')'s vocal synthesizing program. It is NOT an anime or a manga, though some mangas based off popular songs will be floating around in shops. Regular music lovers use Vocaloid to create songs and post them on websites, the most popular being Youtube and Japan's Nico Nico Douga. By this, ordinary people become famous around the world. Take Mothy, or Akuno-P, for example. He made the popular Evillous Chronicles that he would be killed for if he cancelled. Did Mothy sign a contract with a huge corporate company to do this? No. He just bought a software and made songs. The point of Vocaloid is that everyone can be a creator. And it's not just that Mothy guy. Many people have made it big with this. I'm not aware if you make money or not though. Want to listen to some music? Go to Youtube, because Nico Nico Douga needs an account to enter. If you want to learn more, go to the Vocaloid Wiki. They've got a lot of info.
