But she also has a nervous stomach.

After Tahani’s Chicago audition, the judges gave her a standing ovation. Of course, the little girl was excited as she ran up to thank Paula Abdul and Abdul’s fellow judges.

But as soon as Abdul gave her a hug, Tahani literally couldn’t contain herself anymore.

Yes, Tahani puked on Abdul.

The veteran dancer took it in stride.

“I’ve never had anyone vomit on me like that,” Abdul said.

Tahani said Abdul’s hug was too tight, “and all the happiness came out on her jacket.”
