Excited Young Dancer Vomits on Paula Abdul

On So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation, Tahani Anderson nailed her hip-hop routine to Beyoncé’s hit “Countdown” and then nailed Paula Abdul with vomit. The 12-year-old dancer put on a fantastic performance and earned herself a ticket to the show’s dance academy. Tahani was visibly excited to be moving on and went over to the judges to give them hugs.

Unfortunately, Paula squeezed Tahani a little too hard and caused her to throw up. Tahani quickly apologized, and Paula tried to soothe the 12-year-old and let her know everything was OK. Once she got outside the audition room, Tahani was all smiles because she was so happy to be moving on to the academy.

Cat Deeley sat down with the little dancer and asked what happened, and Tahani adorably responded, “I hugged Nigel and then I hugged Paula, and she just squeezed me too tight, and all the happiness came out on her jacket.”

So You Think You Can Dance airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on Fox.
