seems to me this is more about his "performance" than about worship ... I found his antics so off-putting I couldn't watch either and I have heard better renditions, ones that really were about worshipping the Almighty God!
Have to confess I had qualms about putting this up and then last night it occurred to me it is actually the exaggeration that makes us more uncomfortable.
My conclusion is that anyone artistic (or artistically sensitive) finds similar pain in less exaggerated displays...
