Hatsune Miku on the verge of getting an English voice as the announcement came at a recent US convention, with Miku creators Hiroyuki Ito and Wataru Sasaki suggesting for an English version only if the demand reaches 39,390 likes on Facebook.
Whether or not this will be a success will all have to find out in due time, I personally don't like the idea cause it will be almost like listening to dubbed music, and we already know dubbed stuff is horrible so dubbed music would be ear killing. I would like to see Miku retain her true Japanese status, seems more authentic that way.
As the decision will be made via Facebook this will be sure to attract lots of attention and the chances of success are pretty high right about now. Crypton has though been thinking of this decision since 2008 so her recent burst of publicity may well form the momentum of an imminent announcement.

I disagree. Crypton obviously needs to retain the timbre of Miku's voice, so they would probably need the same voice actor or do some smart engineering.
