I like Nana as Fate, but my "appreciation" of her isn't solely linked to her performance as Fate... or anyone else.
I just honestly and genuinely think she's very beautiful and I honestly and genuinely love the sound of her singing voice. I don't worship the woman, but she sure does have a hold on me when I see and hear the videos of her on stage.
As far as dub VA's, I think it simply has to do with the feeling that anime is a unique medium and Japanese women have a certain quality in their voices that I have been conditioned to expect. I'm used to Japanese voices and subtitles and anything else just doesn't quite seem right.
