Looks like praise to me. 
Which parts do you feel are not praise? |
I feel an absolutely ZERO environment of "Praise" in that video. I don't believe singing makes one a praiser (Madonna). Nor playing music (Slash). Nor dancing (Michael Jackson). Nor lifting hands (someone being arrested).
No wait, that wasn't a good comparison. Let's try that again.
Nor lifting hands (someone's team just scored). Nor being joyfully noisy (every time I win at Monopoly).
Like the bible says, "Just because it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, doesn't mean it's a duck."
What I saw in that video was attention-getting, self-indulgent, physical activity that completely left Jesus out of the process. I saw a culture of habitual noise that attracts attention to individuals rather than Jesus Christ. When we "Praise", we draw attention to Jesus, not to ourselves.
So which parts did I feel wasn't praise? Well, all of it, I suppose.
