I think the reason why some of the girls' voices sounded off or strained is because either (a) they were projecting their voice more to make up for lack of mic or (b) they couldn't hear the back track properly, or both. Although, for some of the girls, you have to wonder... I love Sunny so so sooo much (second favorite girl after Hyo) but her voice was off. I think you were hearing Seohyun's backtrack, kimmeh, because whereas with Taeyeon, you could hear her singing over the backtrack (and it sounded really good!), I couldn't hear any overlapping voice(s) with Seohyun.
I think the backtrack is an issue too, since both Tiffany and Hyo were late at their lines, and they usually aren't. I couldn't hear Taeyeons backtrack at all, I just thought that maybe Taeyeon has such a strong voice that she doesn't need a backtrack at all. She was pretty impressive here. I can't hear Seos backtrack in Dancing queen, but it sounds like theres a slight "double-voice" in her first part in I got a boy.

I feel bad for the HK fans. Pay a lot of money for ****** sound and bad lights, when it could have been sooo much better.

Most of the girls can sing quite well, but under pressure(dancing, singing live) will put a strain on their voice, thus lowering the quality. My main issue with this performance is how the backtrack is too loud/not in sync with their own voices, so you hear a "double sound", in addition to bad (or no) soundcheck, like how you can't hear Tae at the start of Dancing queen. I'm guessing they're pretty tired from the japan tour too. The girls need some much needed rest
