Maksim Mrvica

What do you lovely people think of Maksim Mrvica?

I had never heard of him an hour ago - which is strange because I listen to piano music for much of the day and have never come across his name.
He appears to be an emo who wears gloves (albeit fingerless) whilst playing.
Stranger still is the fact that I haven't found a SINGLE negative comment about him in the youtube comments. Thats a bit disturbing.

Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

Maksim Mrvica - Flight of the Bumble-Bee - Now with bongos and interpretive dance lol

So - any opinions? Amusing anecdotes? I'm a bit baffled.
My thinking so far is what?!?!?!

Personally I prefer him over Lang Lang, and I'll admit, some of the remixes of his were kind of cool and bursting with energy.

And some of the compositions were actually kind of sweet and nicely written...
