The video features a pretty funny dancer - but it also focuses on what I consider to be some pretty crappy production that is all too common in the "live" entertainment on TV these days. Instead of focusing on the entertainer, the producers keep cutting to the audience. For one, I don't need to see how someone (even a celebrity) in the audience is reacting to enjoy the show myself. But maybe that's just my take on it.
The purpose of the camera, briefly, cutting away from the performer to show shots of the the audience (celebrities or otherwise) is to show their reaction(s) to the performance, thus, assessing its' overall enjoyability & success. In the case of the 'YMCA' performance by The Amazing Christopher, the words astonished, amazed, entertained & appreciated came to mind.
