Much ado in some Bible universities/colleges was made about keeping a microphone on the stand and giving it plenty of distance from your mouth so as not to "invade your personal space" or appear to be entertaining.

Where are we at on this, these days?
 
I recall being told that young/teen girls shouldn't hold their mic up to the face because it was too close in appearance to a particular sexual activity. My thought was what kind of perverse mind is imagining a sexual act during a worship song. When my daughter was 10 she sang "As The Deer" while holding the mic. If there was any sexual sin in the room it was in the heart(s) of perverts.

In the other thread that I talked about going to the reformed church recently there were four “singers” on the left side of the church platform, and the musicians were on the right side. Of those four singers, one was much more clearly “performative” with their body gestures (including how they held the microphone). All of the interpretation of this sort of worship is obviously at least mildly subjective. That being said, I’d prefer that those who are bringing “specials” do their best to make their singing focused upon God and not bringing undue attention to themselves.
 
This brings to mind something mentioned eons ago. A Preacher asking the choir are you a worship choir or performance choir? Going back to presentation.

"As the Deer?" That worldly song with no Scriptural basis? At least that is what one of these self-appointed music evangelists have said.
