If you’d just wowed notoriously stiff judges with your audition for a nationally televised dancing competition, wouldn’t you barf all over the most famous judge?

No? Well, what the heck. This girl did.

After delivering a jaw-dropping performance to the sounds of Beyonce’s “Countdown,” one of the standout songs from her 4 album, 12-year-old Tahani Anderson barfed on So You Think judge Paula Abdul, and adorably explained the incident by claiming “all the happiness came out on [Abdul’s] jacket.”

Though we’re sure it was an unsettling experience for all involved, Abdul handled the surprise upchuck deftly, and will just have to hug Anderson a little less tightly if she’s to avoid the same fate in the next round.
