If you have FL, maybe try turning on the metronome, then load your acapella and play it. Try finding the correct BPM by going up or down with it.
Once you have it, on the SMP part of the sampler, right click Time > Autodetect > Type in (BPM), then write the correct BPM. Then put the algorythm to speech. :p

What i always do is:

First open up the acapella/vocal in an Bpm detector such as Mixmeister (dont use fruity loops, as its always wrong)
When you know the tempo of the orriginal, load it up in fruity loops. Set the project bpm to the bpm of the vocals.

Then, you right click the sample, select fit to tempo. When thats done, set your project to 150 bpm (or what ever you like) Then it will ask to auto stretch the vocal again, press no. Then in the sampler, set mode on Pro Default.
Export it as WAV and there you go, your vocal/acappella is at the right tempo.

NOTE:

this doesnt always sound good on low bpm acapellas.. when the vocals are like lower then 80 bpm, you could try to match it to 75 bpm for example ( 1/2 of 150). But this doesnt always work out well.

Or you can use the slice tool and cut the vocal into parts, and adjust them seperately. There are vocals that just have a difference in timing and tempo. Not every vocal is perfect. It's part of the job, take some time to slice everything into parts and take them on part per part. The result will be a lot better then just some auto detect tempo tool.

If the vox is only matching up with the first part, my bet is you didn't convert the tempo correctly. For example, if your vox is at 128 but in your tempo changer you put 130, it'll be messed up. So make sure you have the approximate tempo for the vox before converting.
