Anything that may get said after that exhortation is kind of meaningless to the person who received from the Lord.
And maybe you don't need that exhortation, or from him at least, to praise and exalt the wonderful, matchless name of Jesus and break out into a session of worship, but I've been places where he has preached, and there are always lots of folks there who are just barely hanging on, or who have never really grabbed hold to begin with, and standing up, lifting one's hands and surrendering themselves to the Lord in worship is the best thing that could ever happen to such people, and let's be honest, some people DO NEED the exhortation to come from an external source like Brother Lee, because their faith is low, and their joy is gone.
Look at the various prophets in Acts. It reads of them that their main task was to "strengthen the brethren". How then can a brother or sister be strengthened by the ministry of a prophet unless they are first weakened?
So, let the critique go, already. He's still your brother, a child of God, and he is the Lord's workmanship, and to critique him (or anyone else) is to offer a critique of the work the Lord is doing in, on, and through him, to get him to where God wants him to be.
