By some of the singers you would cite as examples of this (flemming, price,
etc.), what I hear are vowels that are modified at even the lowest registers
making them incomprehensible. It's not the lack of consonants, it's the
muddiness of the vowels and lack of speech like quality that makes the
diction poor.
