Squick or squee? You decide.

On the one hand, I think it's fun that this YT vid came to the attention of Amanda Abbington, who loved it and said she'd pass it on to her partner. OTOH, it's clear that the filker was not consulted before other fans sent Amanda the link, and thus did not give her consent to be brought to the attention of the actor she was singing about. But then, this is Amanda, who gleefully tweets pics of Sherlock and John as otter and hedgehog, respectively. She's clearly keen on fandom, and I've never sensed any condescension or negative vibes from her.

So is this cringe-worthy or adorable? Or does Amanda Abbington's sheer awesomeness simply transcend all acceptable rules of fan/talent interaction?
