Oh, yes, because you surely know vocal talent. 
Anyway, for the 2000s, I'd probably agree with Kelly, Beyonce, and Christina. While I don't really want to include Christina, she was quite popular during that decade, and there isn't really anyone else to replace her.

No, Adele is a poor vocalist at best, ESPECIALLY when compared to Beyonce.

Of this generation in mainstream music, Beyoncé and Kelly Clarkson are.
Jenifer Hudson & Carrie Underwood fight for the last slot.

At one point in time, all three belonged in this category. Currently, the trinity has changed and only Kelly and Beyonce remain.

Also - and here's something the Bionics will never admit - Christina is highly regarded contextually. What I mean is, she was at the right time and in the right place. The "vocal trinity" of the 90s was aging and was no longer super popular; of everyone who was emerging, Christina was the only one who could have had 'THE VOICE." She got a head start on the likes of Bey (was immature vocally until about 2004) and Kelly (who wasn't even discovered at the time.) THAT - and not because of some innate superiority in skill or craft - is why she's made lists that they haven't.

I feel like Kelly doesn't get the same credit as a vocalist as Beyonce and Xtina (her especially) do from the general public. Like, I've never heard someone outside of the pop forum world say that Kelly is an amazing singer. Where as pretty much everyone would say Christina has an amazing voice. Maybe it's cause Kelly doesn't show it off as much in her songs? I dunno. But she definitely deserves a spot in the current vocal trinity.
I assume if you asked the average person who was the best current singer in pop music, most people would say Adele or Xtina at the moment.

Maybe.
Xtina has the best voice while Beyoncé has the best technique.
Kelly? meh, could be replaced by someone else.

Does that make her voice less impressive?
And please read twice, I wrote voice.

1:35 to 1:45
I challenge Xtina stans to find me a performance of her singing a E5 (I believe that was the note) or even a D5 with the clarity, resonance and strength that Kelly had. I don't think you will, because every Christina performance I've seen, she's had to shout her higher notes.
I will admit that Christina's lower range is more impressive than Kelly's.. but she can't translate that to live performances as well as Kelly.
Beyonce is flawless, I'd just wish she were more versatile.

Kelly is a natural soprano. Her tessitura is way higher than Xtina's, who is a mezzo.
That's why it's easier for her to reach those 5th octave notes.

Lol, Kelly is a better vocalist than Xtina. Xtina can hardly hold a belt these years. Why don't you post the best LIVE performance of Christina from 2010 onwards and I guarantee you there'll be at least three Kelly performances that destroy it.

Oh no, but it makes her equal in innate quality to the other two, which a lot of Bionics try to fight.

Yeah but the problem is that Christina still tries to hit them, and ends up shouting in most of her performances. Don't get me wrong, she has massive talent. She can't handle the big anthems like Kelly can. Honestly, her vocal ability is overrated because she was always compared to Britney.

Being a vocalist does not equal belting 5th notes like you have nothing better to do, bye.
There are way more things than just belting involved in a vocal trinity.

Y'all drag Christina too much. Yes she screams a lot but when she's hitting it right, nobody sounds as good as her - NOBODY. She has one of the best singing voices in music.
