Yuck - I opened up one of the links and had such a visceral reaction of disgust to seeing music with words of kedusha being profaned by non-Jews. How could anyone find this cute or entertaining? Yuck!

How are they profaning the songs? They are dancing or moving their bodies. Nobody is doing anything wrong. I think its strange but disgust? I think thats a bit strong.

Is it hinei ma tov? I was in a dance class with that playing many years ago as a kid. If you use a popular style it will be used in a popular way--sorry.

Funny story: I was very sure it was sung by a woman.

Music has holy power. Words of kedusha have holy power. NonJews using them for base entertainment purposes is profaning. NonJews incorporating their vulgar musical/dance expression into our holy music is profane.

I'm not seeing anything disgusting, profanity, (really?) Or yucky. Just non jews dancing to jewish music, nothing wrong with that! It's very funny.

No, it's not vulgar or profane. Some jewish music may have holy power when sung by jews. This doesn't mean that non jews may not sing jewish songs. To them it's not holy, it's just a song. It has no kedusha when non jews sing it. Many non jews listen to jewish music for entertainment, nothing wrong with it. I'd even say it's a kiddush hashem.

Your attitude on this matter seems vulgar and profane to me. I know lots of non Jews who love jewish music and get inspired by it.

I’m just scared of the sudden fame quickly devolving into antisemitism, criticism and mockery.

I find this amusing and heartwarming now, but I don’t trust being thrust into a nonJewish spotlight.
