HowdyOK, I'll try one more time.
Where as with pairs of instruments, you can cut off the attack and decay and it becomes hard to tell which is which, this is much less true with human voice when singing.
I'm not talking about intelligibility, nor recognition of speech nor speaker. I'm just pointing out that the singing voice is clearly a counter example to a hypothesis about attack and decay being the most important feature. In some sense the singing voice is deemphasizing the fricatives and emphasizing the steady state part of the voice so this shouldn't be surprising.
