I read in the comments that he was said by a journalist to be "dancing like no one was watching" and he replied that he was dancing knowing that everyone was.
I think it's good to see what appears to be a genuine dude trying to say something on stage with music - clumsily, awkwardly - rather than some stylised, polished act that usually fits the bill for those chat shows.

I'd agree,.I do find it a very raw, and emotional performance and actually like the song,
But I've always found it a bit scary too, I'm a bit bothered by hearing him physically slap his chest and pull at his clothes,
If he was walking towards me on the pavement doing that I'd cross the road quickly every time.
I appreciate the emotion, but then, it's a bit scary too to be honest,
I couldn't sustain that level of angst for more than a few seconds without at least having a good scream or a blub.
