Does the vocalization of a song piece make it "music," or is it the instruments and everything along with instrumentation that creates the term "music" in your opinion?

If there are instruments there, obviously the addition of vocals doesn't make it music.

Can you be more specific?

From Merriam-Webster:

a: the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity
b: vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony

pretty much if someone's singing or there's some form of intrument playing, even drums, it's music to me. *shrug*

Even talking can be music. So can some one banging together sticks or banging a rock on a skull.
