That's sometimes a dificult thing to guage, though it does sound as if this guy went too far.
There are times when you can rally an audience to greater energy and all have more fun for the effort, there are times when the audience truly wishes to simply enjoy what they are hearing without having to make a lot of effort, and then there are times when the audience wishes they were having root canal, and the more you push them to become a part of your world, the more you are simply prolonging the agony.
The tough part is knowing which time is which.
