And singing can communicate words as well as melody, which means you have a double layer of meaning, unlike other instruments. Hardly surprising, since singing has an extremely wide range of articulations, timbres, and transitions between sounds. Most acoustic instruments can be simulated well using various synthesis techniques, but (until Yamaha's VOCALOID techology came along) the singing voice resisted any serious simulation attempts. Synthesis, MIDI, Sampling - inventions of this magnitude are very rare events indeed. Few events have dramatically diverted the course of musical history.
