Thoughts on the new Live track? Anyone else worried? Options

So what does everyone think of the new Live track they played at the Strand?

I was hoping the new song would grow on me, but it still doesn't sound right to me. Off key? Out of tune maybe?

What does everyone else think? Here is the video:

I didn't care for this song much, and anyone who thinks CT sounded good is fooling themselves. Don't get me wrong I am a supporter of the new lineup, but this song or maybe it was this performance was not +LiVE+ to me.

so the 1st time it was played LIVE you didn't like it cause of Taylor???
so what if he was a "tad" off, he is a heck of a back up singer

this song when it is done will be awesome and I bet you change your mind

and I bet CT knocks it out of the ballpark next time with the back ups

love this song cannot get it out of my head

Some people can't seem to separate the song from the execution of the song live.

I can pick up a guitar and whip out a rendition of lightning crashes or something. It probably wouldn't be very good. At least not 8 million sales good. Yet, the song itself IS in fact a great song and has sold millions

There were issues with the one acoustic live performance we've seen of it. For one, CT's mic was up too loud and CS's too soft. CT may have been off key, regardless the issue wouldn't have been noticeable if the mic levels were set right. The studio track might not have CT as the back vocals at all.

As far as I can tell, the song is unique and well written. The lyrics are good. It has catchy-hook elements. I'm not getting to hung up on one early performance of it live and ready to write it off.
